CHAIRMAN'S LETTER
Dear Investor.
As you may be aware the past two months have seen some significant change for the Company, largely centred on the re-configuration of your Company's Board. Both I and Mr Russell Black have joined the Board of Genesis within the last month and, together with Mr Roger Smith, we are excited about the prospects of the Company moving forward.
The Board re-affirms its commitment for the Company to continue its focus on its core mandate of medical device product development and ultimate commercialisation from either internally developed intellectual property or alternatively, externally developed intellectual property that is seeking Company specific know how, funding, path to market or a combination of all three.
To this end the Company is currently awaiting results from development work being completed in relation to the MBIL transaction and is further assessing the cost and benefits associated with engineering upgrades required for its CellGen project.
As previously announced to the market the Company is also currently reviewing another medical device opportunity, however the Board believes that this review is at too early a stage to provide any specific detail to the market. Upon this review progressing and should the Company conclude in-principle negotiations successfully, then the Company will provide detail to the market.
On behalf of the current Directors of Genesis Biomedical Limited I am pleased to offer you the opportunity under this Prospectus to participate in an underwritten Offer of up to 80,000,000 Shares to be issued at a price of 3 cents each together with up to 80,000,000 free attaching 2010 Options on a 1 for 1 basis to raise up to $2,400,000 (excluding costs of the Offer).
The funds raised from the Offer will be used to part fund current projects, provide working capital and review other opportunities as set out at Section 2.1 of this Prospectus.
I refer potential investors to all ASX announcements made to the market since the lodging of the Company's 2005 annual report and further I refer investors to the Risk Section of this Prospectus. I also remind investors to consult their accountant or other professional advisers prior to making an investment decision in Genesis.
The Board thanks you for your continued support of your Company.
Yours sincerely,
Rospo Ibrat
Mr Rodger Johnston Chairman

4. RISK FACTORS
$4.1$ General
Whilst the Directors recommend that investors apply for Shares and 2010 Options offered under this Prospectus, potential investors are reminded that the Shares and 2010 Options should be considered speculative because of the nature of the Company's business. A number of material risk factors are set out below. This list is not exhaustive and potential applicants should examine the contents of this Prospectus and consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities.
$4.2$ General Economic Conditions
Changes in the general economic climate in which Genesis operates may adversely affect the financial performance of Genesis. Factors, which may contribute to that general economic climate, include movements in interest rates and currency exchange rates and the overall state of the equity/debt capital markets that Genesis may rely on to fund current and future activity.
$4.3$ Additional Capital
While the directors believe that Genesis has sufficient funds to fund its activities, Genesis is operating in dynamic and rapidly growing industries. There can be no assurance that Genesis will not seek to exploit business opportunities of a kind which will require it to raise additional capital from equity or debt sources. There can also be no assurance that Genesis will be able to raise such capital on favourable terms or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding as needed it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and reduce its expansion programs as the case may be.
Any additional equity raising may dilute the interest of Genesis' shareholders, and any debt financing, if available, may involve financial covenants which limit Genesis' operations, If Genesis is unable to obtain such additional capital, Genesis may be required to reduce the scope of any expansion, which could adversely affect its business, operating results and financial condition.
4.4 ASX Share Investment Risk
There are various risks associated with investing in any form of business and with investing in the stock market generally. The value of the Shares will depend upon general stock market and economic conditions as well as the specific performance of Genesis. There is no guarantee of profitability, dividends, return of capital, or the price at which the Shares will trade on ASX in the future.
$4.5$ Market Fluctuations
The market value of tradeable securities are subject to market fluctuations. Typically, biotechnology projects are of a high-risk nature and any adverse technology outcomes will significantly impact on the price of securities. General economic conditions and stock market fluctuations may also impact the ability to procure the requisite project funding.
4.6 Acquiring New Businesses and Investments
The Company may, from time to time, acquire more businesses or expand its capital generally in order to generate additional revenues, attract more
consumers and respond to competition. In this respect, the Company proposes to actively seek businesses and or projects that will add value to the Company. There can be no quarantee that these new businesses or investments will eventuate or be successful. However, the Company will exercise due diligence on any proposed acquisition and undertake a thorough review of projects to ensure that any acquisition or project will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.
$4.7$ Reliance on Key Personnel
The Company's prospects depend in part on the ability of its non-executive officers to attract senior management to operate effectively, both independently and as a group. To manage its growth, the Company must attract and retain additional high qualified management, technical, sales and marketing personnel and continue to implement and improve operational, financial and management information systems. In the event that the Company is unsuccessful in achieving these goals, this may have an adverse effect of the Company and its financial performance.
4.8 Limited History
The Company's prospects must be considered in light of the risk, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by Companies in their early stages of development, particularly companies involved in commercialisation of medical device and related intellectual property.
In the event that revenues generated by the Company do not grow there can be no assurance that the Company will be profitable.
4.9 Risk of Dilution
In the event that the Company identifies a significant new acquisition or investment opportunity, a condition of any agreement entered into with a third party may be that the Company's capital is reconstructed to reduce the number of Securities that are on issue.
In these circumstances, it is also likely that the consideration payable for any such acquisition will be the issue of additional Securities to a third party vendor which may result in a dilution of the current interests of securities holders in the Company.
4.10 No Profit to Date and Uncertainty of Future Profitability
The Company has incurred losses and it is therefore not possible to evaluate the future prospects based on past performance.
The Company's ability to operate profitably in the future will depend on its ability to advance its proprietary technology CellGen and the outcome of further development work currently being undertaken in relation to the MBIL project. There is no certainty therefore that the Company can successfully commercialise its existing projects or potential acquisitions.
Other facts that will determine the Company's profitability are its ability to manage its costs, to execute its development and growth strategies, economic conditions in the markets the Company operates, competitive factors and regulatory developments. Accordingly, the extent of future profits, if any, and the time required to achieve a sustained profitability is uncertain. Moreover, the level of such profitability cannot be predicted and may vary significantly from quarter to quarter.
4.11 Managina Growth
The Company's success will depend on its ability to expand its operations. If the Company is unable to successfully manage the expansion of its business, its financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
4.12 Research and Development
The Company can make no representations that any research and development that it has or will in the future will be successful or that it will be successful in developing products that are commercially exploitable.
There are many risks inherent in the development of novel medical devices and associated technologies, particularly where they are in an early stage of development. Projects can be delayed or fail or research may cease to be viable for a range of unexpected scientific and commercial reasons.
4.13 Risk and Product Liability & Uninsured Risks
The Company's business exposes it to potential product liability risks that are inherent in the research and development, marketing and use of its medical products. It will be necessary for the Company to secure sufficient levels of insurance to cover various product liability risks in the course of maintaining its business.
However, there can be no assurance that adequate or necessary insurance coverage will be available at an acceptable cost of in sufficient amounts, if at all, or that product liability or other claims would not materially and adversely affect the business or financial condition of the Company.
4.14 Requiatory Issues and Government Requiation
Genesis's products may be subject to approval by relevant authorities prior to their marketing for commercial use. The regulatory approval process is expensive, time consuming, uncertain and may prevent Genesis from obtaining required approvals for the commercialization of some of its products. Requlatory authorities in different countries may impose different requirements and may refuse to grant approval, or may require additional data before granting an approval. Any failure to obtain or any material delay in obtaining, approval could harm the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
If an approval is obtained, the product and its manufacture are subject to continual review and there is no certainty that such approval will not be withdrawn or restricted. Changes in applicable legislation or regulatory policies or failure to comply with regulatory requirements may result in significant sanctions, including injunctions, recall or seizure of Genesis's products, withdrawal or marketing clearances or approvals, and fines, civil penalties and criminal prosecutions. There can be no assurance that future legislation will not impose further regulation which may adversely affect the business or financial condition of the Company.
4.15 Intellectual Property Protection
The rights Genesis relies upon to protect its core technology and products may not be available or adequate. This may enable third parties to use Genesis's technology and would reduce Genesis's ability to compete in the market. Genesis relies on a combination of patents, trade secrets, copyright and trade
mark laws, non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements, and other contractual provisions to maintain and develop Genesis's competitive position via its intellectual property rights. Nevertheless, these measures may not be available or adequate or safeguard the core technology underlying Genesis's products. Genesis also may not be able to effectively protect its intellectual property in some countries. If unavailable or inadequately protected, third parties could use Genesis's core technology. Genesis's ability to compete in the market would then be reduced.
Genesis and/or Genesis related projects has a number of pending patent applications but these may lack priority over other applications or may not result in the issuance of patents. In addition, third parties may decide to oppose Genesis's patent applications which disputes could be costly and difficult to resolve.
Even if issued, Genesis's and/or its associated patents may not be sufficient broad to provide protection against competitors with similar technologies and may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented.
Patent rights do not last indefinitely and are subject to a finite term. After the expiry of patent protection, competitors are free to use the technology disclosed in Genesis's patents.
Genesis's trade secrets may become known through other means not currently foreseen by the Company.
Genesis's competitors may develop similar or alternative technologies or products that are equal or superior to Genesis's core technology without infringing on any of its intellectual property rights or they may design around its proprietary technology.
In the event Genesis's patent applications are approved, Genesis may need to initiate lawsuits against third parties to project or enforce its patent rights. These lawsuits would be expensive. If Genesis loses these lawsuits, Genesis may lose some, if not all, of its intellectual property rights which would impair its ability to compete in the market. In addition, third parties may allege infringement of their intellectual property rights. If any third parties allege infringement of their intellectual property rights, even if these claims are without merit, defending a lawsuit takes significant time, may be expensive and may divert Genesis's management's attention from other business concerns.
4.16 MBIL Biochemistry Development Stage
The MBIL project is currently undergoing a crucial period of its developmental timeline in that the bio-chemistry associated with the assay development required for the diagnostic test strips and the associated formulating of an algorithm to determine the fertility status from hormonal excretion rates is being carried out.
Should the results from this bio-chemistry and associated testwork not prove to be sufficiently satisfactory then the likely ultimate commercialisation of the product may be in doubt and the monies that the Company has provided to date under the Loan Facility Agreement may not be recovered.
4.17 CellGen
The CellGen technology is currently undergoing a pre-market trial with certain orthopaedic surgeons in the United States. As part of this trial it has been
ascertained that the Company will need to uparade certain engineering specifications of the Cellgen units currently being used.
There is no guarantee that should the Company resolve to proceed with these engineering upgrades that the upgraded product will be able to be licensed or sold or otherwise dealt with.
4.18 Going Concern
As outlined in the Company's most recently lodged financial report, the Company and its subsidiaries have incurred net losses for the period to 30 June 2005. The ability of the Company and the consolidated entity to continue as aoing concerns and to pay their debts as and when they fall due is dependent on:
- the ability to source additional funds through equity issues and debt $(a)$ financing. This will initially be achieved through the capital raising pursuant to this Offer;
- $(b)$ the ability of the Company to successfully develop and commercialise saleable, profitable products from its current projects being CellGen and MBIL: and
- further identify, procure and commercialise other potential profitable $\mathcal{C}$ related products/technologies.
4.19 Changes to Accounting Standards
For reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005, the Company must comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). These changes will affect the way certain items are reported in the Company's financial statements
Genesis has commenced transitioning its accounting policies and financial reporting from current Australian Standards to Australian equivalents of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The Company has allocated internal resources to conduct impact assessments to isolate key areas that will be impacted by the transition to IFRS. As a result of these procedures the Company believes that the impact of the introduction of IFRS will be minimal to the financial statements in their present form. As Genesis has a 30 June year end, priority has been given to considering the preparation of an opening balance sheet in accordance with AASB equivalents to IFRS as at 1 July 2005. This will form the basis of accounting for Australian equivalents of IFRS in the future, and is required when Genesis prepares its first fully IFRS compliant financial report for the year ended 30 June 2006.
4.20 Partnering Risk
The Company may in the future be subject to the need to consider whether they should partner or transfer their investment in their technologies to larger biotech or pharmaceutical companies. However the mere achievement of a licensing or partnering arrangement does not guarantee that the partner will be as equally committed as the Company to progressing these technologies and products to the market.
On occasion, it may be in the interest of the partner to bury or stifle the technology.
In the event that a suitable international partner is, or partners are, secured, the Company's income stream might be affected by delays in formulating products, in conducting studies or clinical trials, in building and certifying manufacturing facilities, in producing batches, in filing for and receiving market approvals from regulatory agencies, by actions required to maintain all requisite reaistrations and authorisations in good standing, or by other unforeseen delays.
If suitable international partners are secured, it is not known whether the Company's products will be capable of being produced in commercial quantities at an acceptable cost.
Potential partners, if secured, may become involved in acquisitions, takeovers, mergers or insolvencies, which might cause delays or loss of any income stream expected by the Company. In negotiating license agreements, the Company will endeavour to seek compensation for significant delays.
$4.21$ Tax
Any change to the current rate of company income tax in the jurisdictions where the Company operates will impact on financial performance and cash flows, the ability to pay dividends and the price of securities which could impact investor returns. Any changes to the current rates of income tax applying to individuals will similarly impact on investor returns. In addition, any change in tax arrangements between Australia and other jurisdictions could have an adverse impact on any future net profit after tax and net operating cash flows.
$4.22$ Customers
Many of the Company's potential customers are from, and are subject to risks faced by, the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life sciences industries. Therefore, the Company's success depends largely on the success of companies in these industries and their demand for its products.
4.23 International Business
There are certain risks inherent in doing business on an international level. Some of those risks which can adversely impact on the Company's business and financial performance include: unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, taxation, tariffs, duties and other trade barriers; foreign exchange controls which prohibit the repatriation of funds; technology export or import restrictions or prohibitions, and longer payment cycles and problems in collecting accounts receivable.
