INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GENESIS BIOMEDICAL LIMITED
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
I have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Genesis Biomedical Limited and its controlled entities which comprises the condensed consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December, 2007, and the condensed consolidated income statement, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated cash flow statement for the half-year ended on that date, a statement of accounting policies, other selected explanatory notes and the directors' declaration.
Directors Responsibility for the Half - Year Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year 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.
Auditor's Responsibility
My responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half year financial report based my review. I conducted my review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of an Interim Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, I have become aware of any matter that makes me believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 31 December, 2007 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of Genesis Biomedical Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that I comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable me to obtain assurance that I would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, I do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting my review, I have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. I confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, has been provided to the directors of Genesis Biomedical Limited on 28th February, 2007.

Kelvin Westaway FCA
Conclusion
Based on my review, which is not an audit I have not become aware of any matter that makes me believe that the half-year report of Genesis Biomedical Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
- giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at $(a)$ 31 December, 2007 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
- $(b)$ complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
