Operating and Financial Review
Result of Operations
The consolidated loss from ordinary activities of the Company and its controlled entities for the half year ended 31 December 2008 was $687,198 (31 December 2007 - $550,375)
Review of Operations
Summary
Review and evaluation of existing commercial activities together with identification and assessment of new opportunities from various sectors has been the central focus. The cash reserves have been greatly affected by the global economic crisis which has resulted in severely reduced levels of available finance for the biomedical field. Management has implemented cost cutting measures and continues to take appropriate action aimed at maintaining the ongoing viability of the business. Directors Fees, wage and salary reductions have occurred in all areas, with general administration and overhead expenses being cut in line with the level of business activity. This cost cutting however will only work in conjunction with an increased project evaluation effort. There is therefore, a concerted focus on increasing our market opportunities from non traditional areas and finding new sources of investment for increasing shareholders wealth.
Sepsis Project
Genovations Pty Ltd a wholly owned subsidiary of GBL holds an exclusive licence in agreement with the University of Western Australia (UWA) to develop a therapeutic for Severe Sepsis.
The incidence of Sepsis is increasing with the aging population, increasing number of intensive care patients and the increasing use of invasive procedures.
- Sepsis and septic shock are leading causes of morbidity and mortality among hospitalized patients (20%-80%).
- Health care costs in excess of $20 billion worldwide.
- $\bullet$ No known effective affordable treatment available for Severe Sepsis.
Unaly Hill Prospect (E57/420) - Farm In Agreement
In November 2007, the Company entered into a Farm In Agreement with Plato Mining Pty Ltd for the exploration rights of Tenement E57/420 located at Unaly Hill near Sandstone in the Yilgarn geological province of Western Australia.
Under the terms of the agreement GBL has exploration rights for 18 months with a further two year option as well as an option to acquire 100% of the Tenement.
Geochemical results from samples collected during recent reconnaissance drill investigation returned results that confirmed the presence of significant anomalous vanadium and titanium mineralisation within the Atley Layered Intrusive Complex.
Due to unexpected heavy rainfalls that occurred in the area whilst drilling, only three of the planned six RC drill holes were completed and, whereas Hole 3 reached the optimum target zone the hole had to be stopped some 30 metres short of it's planned depth of 140 metres.
The Company is reviewing the results which will determine the future of the drilling programme.
Other Opportunities
The company continues to seek opportunities in varied sectors including mining as a means of increasing shareholder value.

Note 1: Basis of Preparation of the Half-Year Financial Report
This general purpose condensed financial report for the half year ended 31 December 2008 has been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.
It is recommended that the half-year financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2008 and considered with any public announcements made by Genesis Biomedical Ltd during the half-year ended 31 December 2008 in accordance with continuous disclosure obligations of the ASX Listing Rules.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.
The half-year report does not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the consolidated entity as the full financial report.
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 half year ended 31 December 2008 the consolidated entity incurred a loss of $687,198 and an operating cash outflow of $697,634. The Directors hold the view that given the current economic climate and the cost cutting measures and actions currently being undertaken by management, 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.
Note 2: Segment Reporting
The economic entity operates entirely in Australia and predominantly in the field of bio-technology and mineral exploration.

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 consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December, 2008, and the consolidated income statement, statement of changes in equity and 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 Interim And Other Financial Reports 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, 2008 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 annual 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 26th February, 2009.

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, 2008 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
- complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting $(b)$ and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Inherent Uncertainty Regarding Continuation as a Going Concern
Without qualification to the audit review opinion expressed above, attention is drawn to the following matter:
As disclosed in Note 1, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and meet the planned marketing, administration, and other commitments is dependent upon the Company raising further working capital, and the success of cost cutting measures being undertaken to preserve the Company's cash reserves. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty as to whether the Company will be able to continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
Dated at Subiaco this 26th day of February, 2009.
