QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT FOR THE QUARTER ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

OPERATIONS

Total cash receipts from customers during the quarter ended 30 June 2012 were $1.39 million, which represented a healthy 25% increase on the same figure for the preceding March quarter. This increase was attributable to growing sales revenue from the Company’s BREVAGen™ test in the U.S., together with improved sales from its paternity business and additional annuity income.

Following the raising of $10.89 million by the Company from the placement of 60 million shares in late July 2011, the Group’s cash reserves closed out the 2012 financial year at approximately $8.90 million. This balance included the effects of the deconsolidation of former subsidiary ImmunAid Pty. Ltd. which is no longer part of the Group after the conclusion of its $1.00 million fundraising to independent third parties during the June quarter. GTG still holds a 45.5% interest in ImmunAid Pty. Ltd. which had a net carrying value of approximately $4.43 million as at 30 June 2012.

Further information regarding the Company’s sales and results from operations will be provided to the Market in the Company’s 2012 Financial Report and accompanying ASX Appendix 4E which will be released prior to the end of August 2012.

BREVAGen™ breast cancer risk test

During the June quarter, the Company announced that it had executed credentialing contracts with four Preferred Provider Organisations (“PPOs”) which represent an estimated 13 million covered lives in the U.S. Progress with these leading PPOs has been a key driver of improvements in the collection of revenue from the sale of the BREVAGen™ test. Credentialing with these PPOs allows for expedited claim adjudication (as “in-network”) which provides improved cash flow while obtaining an acceptable level of reimbursement, and reduces the costs incurred through appealing denials. Contracts with PPOs are fundamental to getting the BREVAGen™ test “in network”, which streamlines the claims management process within these PPOs, ultimately resulting in improved reimbursement for the BREVAGen™ test. Once BREVAGen™ test volumes reach a significant level and Genetic Technologies has gathered the clinical utility data, the Company will approach insurers directly to contract.

On 26 July 2012, the Company announced that the Laboratory Field Services Unit of the California Department of Public Health had granted a license to the Company’s Australian-based laboratory allowing Genetic Technologies’ U.S. subsidiary, Phenogen Sciences Inc., to offer Clinical Laboratory services to California residents. This effectively means that BREVAGen™ may now be offered for sale into the State of California. Based solely on breast cancer incidence rates, California represents approximately 11% of the total United States breast cancer market, with over 25,000 new cases of breast cancer diagnosed annually (ACS Breast Cancer Facts & Figures 2011-12, ACS Cancer Facts & Figures 2012).

In April 2011, Genetic Technologies successfully attained CLIA approval, allowing BREVAGen™ to be sold into 42 U.S. States. Following the Company’s receipt of a certificate of compliance issued by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in February 2012, the Company has submitted applications for “Out of State Licensure,” which allow BREVAGen™ to also be sold in Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Nevada, Tennessee, Maryland, and now in California. The Company has also submitted a licensure application in Florida and expects to receive approval to sell BREVAGen™ in this key State shortly. The Company is also preparing an application to submit to the New York State Department of Health, Clinical Laboratory Evaluation Program (CLEP) to offer Out of State Clinical Lab services to residents of New York State.

During the quarter, the number of full time Regional Business Managers (“RBMs”) employed in the Phenogen sales team was further expanded to ten, including several of whom have recently been appointed to service the new States for which the Company has now received clearance to sell the BREVAGen™ test.

OPERATIONS (cont.)

BREVAGen™ breast cancer risk test (cont.)

Planning for further clinical studies to improve the utility of the BREVAGen™ test and to expand its addressable market is underway.

In May 2012, a story highlighting the BREVAGen™ test and its U.S. launch featured on Australia’s Channel 7 news and current affairs television show Today Tonight which was broadcast nationally across Australia. [See: http://au.news.yahoo.com/today-tonight/latest/article/-/13691294/breast-cancer-breakthrough/]

A further story highlighting the BREVAGen™ test also featured on Good Morning Texas in late May which was broadcast in the U.S. [See: http://www.wfaa.com/video?id=154472185&sec=553117&ref=rcvidmod]

LICENSING AND IP

Assertion programs

On 26 May 2011, the Company announced it had filed a third patent infringement law suit in the U.S., in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado, asserting infringement of its primary non-coding patent against the following parties:

U.S. District Court for the District ent against the following parties:	of Colorado, asserting infringement of its
Agilent Technologies Inc.	Bristol-Myers Squibb Company
Eurofins STA Laboratories Inc.	GlaxoSmithKline PLC
Hologic Inc.	Merial LLC
Navigenics Inc.	Neogen Corporation / GeneSeek Inc.
Pfizer Inc.	454 Life Sciences Corporation.

The Company is pleased to report that Settlement and License Agreements have now been executed with Navigenics Inc., Hologic Inc., Eurofins STA Laboratories Inc. and GeneSeek Inc. and that settlement discussions with certain other parties to the Colorado suit are progressing.

Other licensing activities

On 9 July 2012, the Company announced that it had expanded the scope and jurisdictional reach of its off balance sheet funded retention arrangement with Sheridan Ross P.C. (“Sheridan Ross”) of Denver, Colorado. Originally limited to actions brought only in the U.S., and limited in scope to cover only the Company’s 5,612,179, 5,851,762, 5,192,659 and 5,789,568 U.S. patents, the expanded assertion arrangement with Sheridan Ross now covers all of GTG’s non-coding patents in all jurisdictions. Importantly, Sheridan Ross will now be able to assist GTG with asserting its non-coding patents globally, effectively acting as GTG’s lead counsel in these international efforts, particularly in Europe.

Request for patent re-examination

Also on 9 July 2012, the Company announced that it had received formal notification from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) that it had received and granted a request for ex parte re-examination of claims 1-18 and 26-32 of the Company’s 5,612,179 (the '179) non-coding DNA patent brought by Merial L.L.C. of Duluth, Georgia (“Merial”).

Requesting re-examination is a common strategy employed by defendants in patent infringement proceedings and, as such, it is not unexpected from Merial who is currently a defendant in the above Colorado action brought by the Company for infringement of the '179 patent. The '179 patent is very robust having been through a previous re-examination with the USPTO which resulted in the re-issuing of the patent in full with all claims upheld. The Company firmly believes that the claims of the '179 patent will be upheld in the re-examination and, as was the case in previous challenges, GTG will actively defend this matter in order to have the patent upheld.

OTHER ASSETS

As part of the Company’s strategy to place a stronger emphasis on the expansion of its cancer diagnostic franchise, its research programs are being progressed with a view to out-license, co-develop or partner the respective technologies.

ImmunAid[TM]

On 13 April 2012, the Company announced that its former subsidiary, ImmunAid Pty. Ltd., had successfully raised $1 million in a private placement from U.S., European and Australian sophisticated investors. This financing provides ImmunAid with sufficient resources to enable the company to advance its novel approach to cancer therapy by the timely reversal of immune system suppression via its unique “on/off” technology.

RareCellect™

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

CORPORATE MATTERS

On 20 April 2012 and 30 May 2012, the Company announced the granting of a total of 1,750,000 and 500,000 options, respectively, to a total of eight employees of the Group. Each option, which was granted at no cost, entitles the holder to acquire one ordinary share in the Company at a price of $0.12 each at any time up to, and including, 20 February 2017.

During the June quarter, a total of 750,000 options which had previously been issued to former employees of the Group were forfeited and subsequently cancelled. There was a total of 20,125,000 options outstanding as at the end of the 2012 financial year.

On 24 July 2012, Mr. Greg Brown was appointed as a Director of the Company. Mr. Brown has over 25 years of international business experience in the healthcare industry and has held the role of Sales and Marketing Director for Baxter Diagnostics in Australia and in the UK; Senior Global Marketing Manager for Roche Molecular Systems; Vice President, Global Strategic Marketing for Digene Corporation; and has led sales, device management, marketing and managed care teams in Europe and the U.S. Most recently he held the role of Managing Director and CEO of diagnostics device company ImpediMed (ASX: IPD), which has a primary breast cancer focus. He remains on the board of ImpediMed as an Executive Director.
