OTHER OFFICERS
Mr David Semmens Company Secretary
Appointed effective 14 July 2006, Mr Semmens has experience in providing company secretarial, financial and corporate and other related services to organisations listed on ASX.
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The principal activities of the Consolidated Entity during the course of the financial year were the continued development and attempted commercial exploitation of either owned or partnered medical device technologies and investment in a mining tenement Farmin Agreement.
OPERATING RESULTS
The Consolidated Entity's operating loss after tax for the year ended 30 June 2008 was $1,265,011 (2007: loss of $844,443).
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The year ended 30 June 2008 incorporated a high level of activity including further funding for our Sepsis Project in conjunction with the University of Western Australia (UWA), diversification into mining through our Unaly Hill Farm In Agreement located south of Sandstone township in the East Murchison Mineral Field, Western Australia, and a capital raising. In addition continuous assessment and due diligence on various commercial opportunities were conducted during the reporting year.
Sepsis Project – Therapeutic for Severe Sepsis
Sepsis is caused by an over reaction to infection and can result in organ failure and death. Severe Sepsis is one of the most significant challenges in critical care. Over five thousand patients with Severe Sepsis die annually in Australia. The worldwide economic cost is estimated to be in excess of AUD30 billion per annum, with the United States of America accounting for approximately AUD17 billion.
Genesis Biomedical initially advanced $60,000 to allow for animal studies in New Orleans USA and Proof of Concept.
After the initial studies were concluded, Genesis Biomedical provided a further $60,000 during the year ended 30 June 2008 to be expended on trials to determine the effect of an established drug on the survival of knock-out mice with induced sepsis.
Medical Research Scientist, Dr Suzanna Temple and Respiratory Physician, Associate Professor Grant Waterer from the University of Western Australia Department of Medicine and Pharmacology, have identified a compound that has enormous potential as a pharmacological agent in pneumonia and sepsis. Studies funded by Genesis support the in vitro cellular effects of the compound. Funding has been advanced to further research on optimising the delivery and activity of the compound at animal facilities in Perth as a pre-requisite to human trials.
Genesis has obtained exclusive rights to exploit and commercialise the UWA intellectual property under a worldwide "licence rights" agreement which includes research, development, manufacture, sales and marketing of any product derived from it in the field.
Unaly Hill Prospect (E57/420) Farm In Agreement
To broaden and diversify its investment base, Genesis entered into a Farm In Agreement with Plato Mining Pty Ltd for the exploration rights on the Unaly Hill tenement at a cost of $100,000 The prospect is associated with the Atley Layered Intrusion and situated on the Youanmi fault near Sandstone. The tenement, immediately North of Youanmi is within the Yilgarn geological province of Western Australia.
Field inspections by independent experts together with reconnaissance geochemical soil sampling have confirmed the presence of favourable layered mafic rock sequences that are believed to be similarly prospective to Victory Bore to the North.
At the Victory Bore magnetite/vanadium prospect (E57/550) reconnaissance diamond and RC drilling encountered a magnetite enriched zone hosted by the Atley Layered Intrusive Complex that within their tenement area reportedly has a strike length of some eleven kilometres. Airborne magnetic surveys and geological mapping by others indicates that the same mineralised rock sequences extend south from Victory Bore into E57/420.
In early 2008 a brief geochemical sampling programme was carried out with a total of 157 samples being collected from 12 sample line traverses from E57/420.
In addition to base metal mineralisation, anomalous gold value identified from the soil sampling programme are believed to warrant drill investigation. A programme of work is planned that will initially comprise ground magnetic traverses in an attempt to confirm the presence of vanadium bearing titanomagnetic lenses that are known to be present at the Victory Bore prospect.
It should be noted that Unaly Hill has a past history of gold mining along its western contact with mafic volcanics.
It is anticipated the programme of work will be completed during the December quarter 2008 with an estimated cost of $80,000.
Capital Raising
The company completed an underwritten share and option offer on 19 December 2007. The company offered 40,000,000 Shares at an offer price of $0.021 plus 20,000,000 attaching options (on the basis of one option for every two shares subscribed for) to raise a total of $840,000 (before costs of the offer). The options have an exercise price of $0.03 and are able to be exercised on or before 30 November 2010.
Commercial Opportunities
The company reviewed several opportunities both in the biotech and mining sectors. In relation to biotech, lengthy time-frames, high cost and uncertain path to commercialisation deterred the company from proceeding.
The company held advanced discussions with an overseas based mining company with the objective of a joint venture programme. Ultimately, negotiations were terminated following due diligence. It is anticipated that significant prospects will be sourced by the company during the coming year for value determination.
The company continues to seek shareholder wealth creating prospects from a broad base.
FINANCIAL POSITION
At the end of the financial year, the Consolidated Entity had $1,123,977 (2007: $1,195,136) in cash and on deposit.
DIVIDENDS
The directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend for this financial year. No dividends have been paid or declared by the Company since the end of the previous financial year (2007: Nil).
LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND FUTURE RESULTS
Other than as referred to in the Review of Operations, further information as to likely developments in the operations of the Consolidated Entity would, in the opinion of the directors, be speculative and may hinder the Consolidated Entity in the achievement of its commercial objectives.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN STATE OF AFFAIRS
Issue of Shares and Options

GENESIS BIOMEDICAL LTD AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2008
NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial report of Genesis Biomedical Ltd (the Company) for the year ended 30 June 2008 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 30 September 2008.
The financial report covers the consolidated group of Genesis Biomedical Ltd and controlled entities and Genesis Biomedical Ltd as an individual parent entity. Genesis Biomedical Ltd is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
(a) Basis of Preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, including Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.
The financial report has been prepared on an accrual basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied.
(b) Statement of Compliance
The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to the International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
At the date of authorisation of this financial report, there were a number of Standards and Interpretations that were issued but not yet effective, however the Directors anticipate that the adoption of these standards and interpretations in future reporting periods will have no material impact on the group.
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the consolidated group in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.
(c) Principles of Consolidation
A controlled entity is any entity controlled by Genesis Biomedical Limited whereby it has the power to control the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 10 to the financial statements. All controlled entities have a June financial year end.
All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated group, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistencies with those policies applied by the parent entity.
Where controlled entities have entered or left the consolidated group during the year, their operating results have been included/excluded from the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased.
Minority equity interests in the equity and results of the entities that are controlled are shown as a separate item in the consolidated financial report.

NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(d) Income Tax
The charge for current income tax expense is based on profit or loss for the year adjusted for any nonassessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the income statement except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the consolidated group will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.
Since the enactment of the Tax Consolidation legislation, the Genesis consolidated group has elected not to enter the tax consolidation regime.
(e) Financial Instruments
Recognition
Financial instruments are initially measured at cost on trade date, which includes transaction costs, when the related contractual rights or obligations exist. Subsequent to initial recognition these instruments are measured as set out below.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Impairment
At each reporting date, the group assess whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.

NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(f) Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity's functional and presentation currency.
Transaction and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the income statement.
(g) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will results and that outflow can be reliably measured.
(h) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.
(i) Revenue
Interest revenue is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest method, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts though the expected life of the financial instrument) to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Rental income is recognised upon receipt of rental monies.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
(j) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
(k) Shares
Ordinary shares have the right to receive dividends as declared and, in the event of winding up the company, to participate in the proceeds from the sale of all surplus assets in proportion to the number of and amounts paid up on shares held. Ordinary shares entitle their holder to one vote, either in person or by proxy, at a meeting of the company.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2008 (Cont'd)
NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(l) Other Current Receivables
Other current receivables are carried at the nominal amounts due. The collectability of debts is assessed continually and specific provision is made for any doubtful debts.
(m) Payables
Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not billed to the company or consolidated entity.
(n) Contributed Equity
Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the company. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received.
(o) Employee Benefits
Provision is made for the company's liability for employee entitlement benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. These benefits include wages and salaries and annual leave.
Employee benefits expected to be settled within twelve months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled plus related on costs. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.
(p) Earnings Per Share
Basic loss per share is calculated as net profit/(loss) attributable to members, adjusted to exclude costs of servicing equity (other than dividends), divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.
Diluted loss per share is calculated as net profit/(loss) attributable to members, adjusted for:
- costs of servicing equity (other than dividends);
- the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and
- other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares;
divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential shares, adjusted for any bonus element.
(q) Property, Plant and Equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Property, Plant and Equipment
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset's employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives to the consolidated group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:
| Class of Fixed Assets | Depreciation Rate |
|---|---|
| Plant and equipment | 7.5-30% |
| Motor vehicles | 18.75% |
| Computer equipment | 37.5% |
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.
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.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by company proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the income statement.
(r) Leases
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the income statement on a straight line basis over the lease term.
(s) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the group.
Key Estimates – Impairment
The group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the group that may lead to impairments of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value-in-use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates.

NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(t) Investments and Other Financial Assets
Financial assets in the scope of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, loans and receivables, held-tomaturity investments, or available-for-sale investments, as appropriate. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transactions costs. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets after initial recognition and, when allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial year-end.
All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, i.e. the date that the Group commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets under contracts that require delivery of the assets within the period established generally by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
(i) Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss
Financial assets classified as held for trading are included in the category 'financial assets at fair value through profit or loss'. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on investments held for trading are recognised in profit or loss.
(ii) Held-to-Maturity Investments
Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as heldto-maturity when the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Investments intended to be held for an undefined period are not included in this classification. Investments that are intended to be held-to-maturity, such as bonds, are subsequently measured at amortised cost. This cost is computed as the amount initially recognised minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between the initially recognised amount and the maturity amount. This calculation includes all fees and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums and discounts. For investments carried at amortised cost, gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the investments are de-recognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.
(iii) Loans and Receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed and determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.
(iv) Available-for-Sale Investments
Available-for-sale investments are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-forsale or are not classified as any of the three preceding categories. After initial recognition available-for-sale investments are measured at fair value with gains or losses being recognised as a separate component of equity until the investment is derecognised or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is recognised in profit or loss.

NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date. For investments with no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include using recent arm's length market transactions; reference to the current market value of another instrument that is substantially the same; discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models.
(u) 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, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at re-valued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a re-valuation decrease).
An assessment is also 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 that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That 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 the asset is carried at re-valued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a re-valuation 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.
(v) Share Based Payments
Equity Settled Transactions:
The Group provides benefits to employees (including senior executives) of the Group in the form of sharebased payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equitysettled transactions).
The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using a pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions.
In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Genesis Biomedical Ltd (market conditions) if applicable.

NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The cost of equity-based transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting period).
The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the Group's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The income statement charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only conditional upon a market condition.
If 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 modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification.
If any equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expenses not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new awards are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.
(w) Going concern
The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of the normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
For the year ended 30 June 2008 the consolidated entity incurred a loss of $ 1,265,011(2007:$ 844,443) and an operating cash outflow of $1,038,495 (2007:$983,917). The Directors hold the view that Genesis Biomedical Limited has adequate cash reserves, funding facilities and prospects to allow it to pay its debts as and when they fall due, and thus the Directors believe that it is appropriate to prepare the financial report on a going concern basis.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2008 (Cont'd)
The deductible temporary differences and tax losses do not expire under current tax legislation. Potential deferred tax assets attributable to tax losses carried forward have not been brought to account because directors do not believe it is appropriate to regard realisation of the future tax benefit as probable.

Resignation of Rodger Johnston as a Director on 5 September 2008 Appointment of Gordon Hatch as a Director on 18 September 2008
There has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report, any other item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the Directors of the Company, to affect substantially the operations of the Consolidated Entity, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Consolidated Entity in subsequent financial years.
NOTE 21. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Overview
This note presents information about the Group's exposure to credit, liquidity and market risks, its objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk and the management of capital.
The Group does not use any form of derivatives as it is not at a level of exposure that requires the use of derivatives to hedge its exposure. Exposure limits are reviewed by management on a continuous basis. The Group does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.
The Board of Directors of the Company has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. Management monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company and the Group through regular reviews of the risks.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Group's receivables from customers and investment securities. In respect of the parent entity, credit risk also incorporates the exposure of Genesis Biomedical Ltd to the liabilities of all members of the closed group under the Deed of Cross Guarantee (refer Note 9) At the balance sheet date there were no significant concentrations of credit risk.

NOTE 21. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Cont'd)
Cash and cash equivalents
The Group limits its exposure to credit risk by only investing in liquid securities and only with counterparties that have an acceptable credit rating.
Trade and other receivables
As the Group operates primarily in investment and exploration activities, it does not have trade receivables and therefore is not exposed to credit risk in relation to trade receivables.
The Group where necessary establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of other receivables and investments. Management does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations.
Exposure to credit risk
The carrying amount of the Group's financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Group's maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:
| Group Carrying amount | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2008 | 2007 | ||
| Available-for-sale financial assets | 56,000 | - | |
| Receivables | - | - |
Impairment Losses
The Directors do not consider that any of the Company's financial assets are subject to impairment at the reporting date. No impairment expense or reversal of impairment charge has occurred during the reporting period.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation.
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves from funds raised in the market and by continuously monitoring forecast and actual flows. The Group does not have any external borrowings.
The Group anticipates a need to raise additional capital in the next 12 months to meet forecast operational activities. The decision on how the Group will raise future capital will depend on market conditions existing at that time

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposure within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.
Currency Risk
The Group does not have any exposure to foreign currency risk.
Interest Rate Risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk (primarily on its cash and cash equivalents), which is the risk that a financial instrument's value will fluctuate as a result of changes in the market interest rates on interestbearing financial instruments. The Group does not use derivatives to mitigate these exposures.

NOTE 21. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Cont'd)
The Company adopts a policy of ensuring that as far as possible it maintains excess cash and cash equivalents on short term deposit at best available market interest rates.
Profile
At the reporting date the interest rate profile of the Company's interest-bearing financial instruments was:
| Consolidated and CompanyCarrying amount | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2008 | 2007 | ||
| Fixed rate instrumentsFinancial liabilities – hire purchase contract | 98,445 | 124,874 | |
| Variable rate instrumentsFinancial assets – cash and cash equivalents | 1,123,977 | 1,195,136 |
Fair value sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments
The Company does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or through equity, therefore a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss or equity.
Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments
The group has performed a sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk at balance date. A change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2007.
Company
| Profit or loss | Equity | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100bpincrease | 100bpdecrease | 100bpincrease | 100bpdecrease | |
| 30 June 2008Variable rate instruments | 14,068 | (14,068) | 14,068 | (14,068) |
| 30 June 2007Variable rate instruments | 20,265 | (20,265) | 20,265 | (20,265) |

NOTE 21. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Cont'd)
Fair Values
Fair Values versus carrying amounts
The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities as described in the balance sheet equate to their estimated net fair value.
Other Market Price Risk
Other Equity price risk is the risk that the value of the instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from rate risk or currency), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer or all factors affecting all instruments traded in the market.
Investments are managed on an individual basis and material buy and sell decisions are approved by the Board of Directors. The primary goal of the Group's investment strategy is to maximise investment returns.
The Group's investments are solely in equity instruments. These instruments are classified as available-forsale with fair value changes recognised directly in equity until derecognised.
The following table details the breakdown of the investment assets held by the Group:
| Note | 30 June 2008 | 30 June 2007 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Listed equities – Available-for-sale | 7 | 56,000 | - |
Sensitivity Analysis – Equity Price Risk
All of the Company's equity investments are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. For such investments classified as available-for-sale, a fifteen percent increase in stock prices at 30 June 2008 would have increased equity by $8,400; an equal change in the opposite direction would have decreased equity by $8,400. No equity investments were held during the financial year ended 30 June 2007.

NOTE 21. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Cont'd)
Capital Management
The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, so as to maintain a strong capital base sufficient to maintain future exploration and development of its projects. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The Group's focus has been to raise sufficient funds through equity to fund the Company's activities. The Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio, however there are no external borrowings as at balance date.
There were no changes in the Group's approach to capital management during the year. Risk management policies and procedures are established with regular monitoring and reporting.
The Group is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GENESIS BIOMEDICAL LIMITED
Report on the Financial Report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Genesis Biomedical Limited which comprises the balance sheet as at 30 June, 2008, and the income statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes and the directors' declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year's end or from time to time during the financial year.
We have also audited the remuneration disclosures contained in the Directors' Report under the heading "Remuneration Report" on pages 8 to 11.
Director's Responsibility for the Financial Report
The directors of Genesis Biomedical Limited are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards
( including the Australian Accounting Interpretations ) and the Corporations Act 2001. This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB101: Presentation of Financial Statements, that compliance with the Australian equivalents to International financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes, complies with IFRS.
The directors are also responsible for the presentation of the remuneration disclosures contained in the Directors' Report.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement, and that the remuneration disclosures in the Directors' Report comply with Accounting Standard AASB 124.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers
internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report and the remuneration disclosures in the Directors' Report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
Auditor's Opinion
In our opinion:
- (a) the financial report of Genesis Biomedical Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
- (i) giving a true and fair view of the company's and consolidated entity's financial position as at 30 June, 2008 and of their performance for the year ended on that date; and
- (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards ( including the Australian Accounting Interpretations ) and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
- (b) the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1; and
- (c) The remuneration disclosures that are contained in pages 8 to 11 of the Directors' Report comply with Accounting Standard AASB 124.

In addition, the Board is responsible for identifying areas of significant business risk and ensuring arrangements are in place to adequately manage those risks.
Corporate Governance – Best Practice Recommendations
In accordance with the ASX Corporate Governance Council's best practice recommendations, the Corporate Governance Statement must contain specific information, and also report on the Company's adoption of the Council's best practice recommendations on an exception basis, whereby disclosure is required of any recommendations that have not been adopted, together with the reasons why they have not been adopted.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 30 JUNE 2008 (Cont'd)
Genesis Biomedical Limited's corporate governance practices were in place throughout the year ended 30th June 2008. As set out below, with the exception of the departures from the ASXCGC recommendations in relation to the independence of the Board, the nomination and audit committee and board performance evaluation, the corporate governance practices of Genesis Biomedical Ltd were compliant with the Council's best practice recommendations.
Independence
ASX Corporate Governance Council ("ASXCGC") best practice recommendation 2.1 requires a majority of the Board to be independent directors and 2.2 recommends the chairperson should be an independent director.
ASXCGC provides a definition of independence to include being independent of management and free of any other business relationships that could materially interfere with – or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with – the exercise of their unfettered and independent judgement. In accordance with this definition and further independence guidelines outlined in ASXCGC best practice recommendations, the following Genesis directors are not considered to be independent:
| Name | Position |
|---|---|
| Mr Donald Valentino | Managing Director |
| Mr Roger Smith | Non – Executive Director |
Mr Valentino is considered not to be independent by virtue of being employed in an executive capacity within the Company and his material shareholding in the Company. Mr Valentino has been employed by the Company for his extensive experience in the pharmacy and related medical products field.
Mr Smith is considered not to be independent by virtue of his material shareholding in the Company.
The Board acknowledges the best practice requirement to maintain a majority independent board, however believes that given the Company's size and operational status, the expense associated with establishing such a board profile would not at this stage provide any real benefit to the operation of the Company. This Board structure will be reviewed at the appropriate stages of the Company's development.
When assessing the independence of directors, the ASX recommendations refer to materiality thresholds throughout the independence criteria, specifically in reference to evaluating what may constitute a material relationship.
The Board has adopted the following quantitative thresholds to be used as a guide when considering amounts in context of determining the materiality of certain relationships:
- (i) an amount which is equal to or greater than 10% of the appropriate base amount may be presumed to be material unless there is evidence or convincing argument to the contrary;
- (ii) an amount which is equal to or less than 5% of the appropriate base amount may be presumed not to be material, unless there is evidence, or convincing argument to the contrary;
As part of discharging its obligations as directors of the Company, the Directors will, from time to time need to seek independent professional advice at the expense of the Company. Accordingly, the board has agreed that where issues or matters arise in relation to the running of the Company, that in the opinion of the directors require independent professional advice to assist in the decision making surrounding the resolution of these issues, the board may engage such professional advice providing it is on standard commercial terms for advice of its nature.
Nomination Committee
ASX Corporate Governance Council ("ASXCGC") best practice recommendation 2.4 recommends the Board should establish a nomination committee.
The Board has not established any such committee at this point in the Consolidated Entity's development, it is considered that the size of the Board along with the level of activity of the Company renders this impractical and the full Board considers in detail all of the matters for which the directors are responsible.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
30 JUNE 2008 (Cont'd)
Audit Committee
ASX Corporate Governance Council ("ASXCGC") best practice recommendation 4.2 recommends the Board should establish an audit committee, 4.3 outlines the recommended structure of the audit committee and 4.4 recommends the audit committee should have a formal charter.
The Board has not established any such committee at this point in the Consolidated Entity's development, it is considered that the size of the Board along with the level of activity of the Company renders this impractical and the full Board considers in detail all of the matters for which the directors are responsible. Although there is no Audit Committee, formal meetings are held between nominated directors and the external auditor, to discuss the findings of the half year review and the year end audit.
In compliance with ASX Corporate Governance Council ("ASXCGC") best practice recommendation 4.1, the Board requires the Managing Director and the Company Secretary provide a written statement that the financial statements of Company and the consolidated entity present a true and fair view, in all material aspects, of the financial position and operational results. In addition, confirmation is provided that all relevant accounting standards have been appropriately applied. A written statement has been provided to the Board for the year ending 30 June 2008.
Financial reporting
The Board relies on senior executives to monitor the internal controls within the Company. Financial performance is monitored on a regular basis by the Managing Director who reports to the Board at the scheduled Board Meetings.
External Auditors
The Company's policy is to appoint external Auditors who clearly demonstrate quality and independence. The Board reviews the performance of the external auditors on an annual basis and meets with them during the year to review findings and assist with Board recommendations. Auditor rotation is required by the Corporations Act 2001.
In compliance with ASX Corporate Governance Council ("ASXCGC") best practice recommendation 6.2, the external auditor is requested to attend the annual general meeting and be available to answer shareholder questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the audit report.
Risk Management
In compliance with ASX Corporate Governance Council ("ASXCGC") best practice recommendation 7.2, the Managing Director and Company Secretary are required to provide a statement to the Board on the Company's risk management and internal compliance and control systems. During the financial year, such a statement has been provided to the Board.
Board Performance Evaluation
ASX Corporate Governance Council ("ASXCGC") best practice recommendation 8.1 requires the disclosure of the process for performance evaluation of the board, its committees and individual directors, and key executives. Given the current size of the Genesis Board and level of activity of the Company, the Board does not currently have a formal process for the evaluation of individual Directors and would consider the implementation of one at this particular point as impractical. The Directors do consider and gauge the overall performance of the Board in context of the trading price of its shares on the ASX on a regular basis.
Remuneration Committee
ASX Corporate Governance Council ("ASXCGC") best practice recommendation 9.2 recommends the Board should establish a remuneration committee.
Throughout the financial year the Board had not established any such committee as at this point in the Consolidated Entity's development, it was considered that the size of the Board along with the level of activity of the Company renders this impractical and the full Board considers in detail all of the matters for which the directors are responsible. Remuneration to the Non Executive Directors was by way of base directors fees only, with the level of such fees, having been set by the Board to an amount it considers to be commensurate for a company of Genesis's size and level of activity. There is currently no link between performance and remuneration. Further there are no schemes for retirement benefits in existence.
