GENETIC TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED 2018 Financial Report OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW Corporate structure Genetic Technologies Limited is a public company limited by shares that is incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The Company has prepared a consolidated financial report incorporating the entities that it controlled during the financial year, which are outlined in the following illustration of the Group’s corporate structure as at the date of this Report (refer note 26 in the notes the financial statements regarding changes to structure during the year): Group overview Genetic Technologies is a diversified molecular diagnostics company embracing blockchain technologies across Genomic testing platforms. GTG offers cancer predictive testing and assessment tools to help physicians proactively manage patient health. The Company’s lead product, BREVAGenplus®, is a clinically validated risk assessment test for non-hereditary breast cancer and is first in its class. BREVAGenplus® improves upon the predictive power of the first generation BREVAGenTM test and is designed to facilitate better informed decisions about breast cancer screening and preventive treatment plans. BREVAGenplus® expands the application of BREVAGenTM from Caucasian women to include African-Americans and Hispanics, and is directed towards women aged 35 years or above, who have not had breast cancer and have one or more risk factors for developing breast cancer. Principal activities The principal activity of the entities within the Group during the financial year was the provision of molecular risk assessment for cancer. In addition, during the year the Company entered into a strategic alliance to explore and pursue opportunities to not only build on the genomic assets and expertise that it has developed to date in the provision of molecular risk assessment, but also take advantage of the new and developing opportunities that blockchain digital platforms may create in the medical and biotech industries. Operating Result The operating result for the year is directly reflective of the Company’s strategic transition as it seeks to expand genetic testing business, embrace blockchain opportunities in the medical and biotech space and evaluate distribution opportunities of the BREVAGenplus® breast cancer risk test and pipeline of risk assessment products. During the 2018 financial year, Genetic Technologies Limited and its subsidiaries generated consolidated gross revenues from continuing operations, excluding other revenue, of approximately $0.2 million compared to $0.5 million in the preceding year. This differential is directly attributable to a decrease in the overall sales of the BREVAGenplus® tests. Overheads have decreased by approximately $1.6 million compared with 2017. The combined areas of selling/ marketing, administration (excluding net foreign currency losses), licensing and operations totalled $6.4 million for the year compared with $8 million for 2017. This overall reduction in overheads is primarily attributable to a decrease in selling & marketing costs of $1.7 million, resulting from a reduced headcount in the US as the Company transitioned the BREVAGenplus® commercial programme from a direct salesforce to an ecommerce based solution. The loss for the year of $5.46 million includes a $0.5 million gain attributable to the voluntary liquidation of GeneType AG, the dormant Swiss subsidiary (2017: Nil). 5 Genetic Technologies Limited 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% GeneType Corporation GeneVentures Pty.

GENETIC TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED 2018 Financial Report OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (cont.) Business strategy, future developments and prospects Following the endorsement by shareholders of a refreshed Board of Directors in January 2018, the Company elected not to pursue any of the potential strategic opportunities that were identified during the comprehensive review undertaken by Roth Capital Partners during the latter half of 2017. The Company has instead during FY 18 renewed its focus on what it has identified as key initiatives, including R&D and global distribution and; Progressed development of an enhanced breast cancer risk assessment test, scheduled for launch in H1 2019 Progressed development of a Colorectal Cancer risk assessment test, scheduled for launch in H1 2019 Commenced R&D activities for other cancer and disease targets for its predictive technologies, initially focusing on Prostate Cancer, Melanoma, Type 2 Diabetes, Cardiovascular Disease, Furthered discussions with US telemedicine distributors for implementation of a Consumer Initiated Testing platform, Entered into a strategic alliance with Blockchain Global Limited (BCG) to pursue opportunities that potentially allow it to not only build on the genomic assets and expertise that it has developed to date but also take advantage of the new and developing opportunities that blockchain digital platforms may create. In addition the Company’s ongoing collaboration with The University of Melbourne was further enhanced through the execution of a research and services agreement for the further development and enhancement of the BREVAGenplus breast cancer risk assessment test whilst the new collaboration with Blockchain Global Limited presents a unique opportunity for the Company to contribute to the advancement of cancer and disease research and to improve the health of individuals around the world. The security and privacy inherent in the blockchain provides a means by which individuals can share their genomic information with research organisations while retaining control of their personal medical records. GTG is also exploring the implications of blockchain technology to enable big data applications that will utilise artificial intelligence to promote personalised healthcare informed by the genomics data. The creation of a store of genetic data may more accurately guide the treatment of individuals according to their genetic risk profile. Key focus areas for the upcoming year include: Launch of an enhanced BREVAGenplus® breast cancer risk assessment test and Colorectal cancer risk assessment test, Progress ongoing development and launch of predictive tests for other cancer and disease targets Pursuing strategic distribution partnerships to accelerate the adoption the Company’s genetic screening tests in the US, Australia and Asia. Pursue blockchain opportunities focussed on genetics, disease prevention and general health. Legal matters There are no legal matters of a material nature or amount affecting the Company as at the date of this Report. Earnings / (loss) per share Basic earnings / (loss) per share (cents per share) Diluted earnings / (loss) per share (cents per share) 2018 (0.22) (0.22) 2017 (0.40) (0.40) Material business risks The Group operates in the biotechnology sector. Any investment in this sector is considered to be high risk in nature. The Group is subject to normal business risks including, but not limited to, exchange rate fluctuations; the condition, liquidity and volatility of global securities markets; changes in government policy and legislation (particularly in Australia and the U.S.); and potential litigation, all of which are largely outside the control of the Company’s Board and Management. Other risks that are more specific to the Company, the sector in which it operates and its underlying business activities include: Financial risk - With the exception of the year ended 30 June 2011, the Company has incurred operating losses in every year of its existence. As at 30 June 2018, the Company had accumulated losses of $123,311,946 and the extent of any future losses and whether or not the Company can generate profits in future years remains uncertain. The Company currently does not generate sufficient revenue to cover its operating expenses. There is also no certainty that the Company will be able to raise additional funds by issuing further shares and/or the raising of debt and, if such funds are available, on what terms the Company would be able to secure them. Refer note 2(a) for further information on the material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. 8

GENETIC TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED 2018 Financial Report OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (cont.) Material business risks (cont.) Competition - All aspects of the medical, biotechnology and blockchain industries face significant competition. The rapid pace of innovation and development within the industry, together with the high number of competitors, mean that there is no guarantee the Company’s ventures in these industries will be effective or economic. There is a risk is that competitors’ products, services or offerings may render the Company’s services, products or offerings obsolete or uncompetitive. Many of the organizations competing with the Company are much larger and have more ready access to needed resources. In particular, they would have greater experience in the areas of finance, research and development, manufacturing, marketing, sales, distribution, technical and regulatory matters than the Company does. In addition, many of the larger current and potential competitors have already established name / brand recognition and more extensive collaborative relationships. For this reason, there can be no guarantee that any of the products, services or offerings associated with the Company will ever be commercialised, or generate a profit. One notable risk arising from the intensity of market competition in the blockchain industry is that the Company may be unable to compete successfully against future competitors who pursue a strategy of foregoing profitability in the short or medium term to grow their market share. Accordingly, in the event that the Company’s exploration of blockchain products, services or offerings is successfully commercialised, there remains a risk that this form of aggressive competition could still result in reduced profitability and loss of market share which is likely to adversely affect its financial position. However, the Company maintains an extensive patent portfolio which does provide some protection for the BREVAGenplus® test. Intellectual property (“IP”) risks - the Company relies on its portfolio of patents, patent applications and exclusive licenses to patents relating to genetic technologies. While the Company patents and protects its IP, it cannot be certain that additional patents will be issued to it or that its patents will withstand challenges by others. Patents issued to, or licensed by, the Company may be infringed or third parties may develop similar technologies. Further, patents may not provide meaningful protection from competitors. The Company may also need to sue, or be sued, by third parties regarding its patents and other IP rights. These suits may be costly and would divert funds and resources from the Company and cause a distraction to Management. Professional liability risks - by the very nature of its operations, the Company’s business exposes it to potential liability risks that are inherent in the testing, manufacturing, marketing and sale of genetic tests. In the event of a mistake occurring, including an incorrect result of analysis of genetic variations or other screening tests performed, the commercial sale of a genetic test by the Company may expose it to professional liability claims and possible adverse publicity. Litigation of such claims could be costly. Further, if a court were to require the Company to pay damages to a plaintiff, the amount of such damages could harm its financial condition, despite the Company having significant levels of public and product liability insurance coverage to protect it from such risks. Government regulation – in addition to general regulation and laws applicable to all businesses, the Company is subject to accreditation regulation and legislation relating to genetic research and testing. From time to time, federal, state and/or local governments adopt or change regulations relating to the conduct of genetic research and genetic testing. In future, such regulations could limit or restrict the Company’s genetic research activities as well as genetic testing for research or clinical purposes. Regulations restricting genetic testing could adversely affect the Company’s ability to market and sell its products and services. Accordingly, any regulations of this nature could increase the costs of operations or restrict its ability to conduct its testing business and might adversely affect its operations and financial condition. Ethical issues - public opinion regarding ethical issues related to the confidentiality and appropriate use of genetic testing results may influence government authorities to call for limits on, or regulation of the use of, genetic testing. In addition, such authorities could prohibit testing for genetic predisposition to certain conditions, particularly for those that have no known cure. Adverse publicity or public opinion relating to genetic research and testing could reduce the potential markets for the Company’s services, which could adversely affect its revenues BREVAGenTM - since the launch of the Company’s BREVAGenTM test in June 2011, a number of potential commercial risks have been identified. The test exists in a new area of genetic testing, being a predictive test, and it may take time to establish credibility and educate potential customers which may delay establishing reasonable rates of sales. 9

GENETIC TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED 2018 Financial Report OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (cont.) Material business risks (cont.) Despite already having various studies and review publications, clinician adoption of the test requires substantial resources and effort.Even though the Company’s laboratory is CLIA certified, U.S. government health care programs could potentially restrict its ability to offer the test in the U.S., thereby restricting the available market. . The launch of BREVAGenplus® (expanded SNP panel applicable to African-American and Hispanic ethnicities as well as Caucasian) in October 2014, brings additional risks with the costs of development, public relations and marketing communications adding to overhead costs. There is a risk that the forecasted increase in uptake for BREVAGenplus® does not occur to offset the cost of this product introduction The transition from a traditional reimbursement system through insurance providers to a direct patient self-pay program introduced 1 April 2017 may not produce the desired result of providing economic and process certainty to the transaction for the healthcare provider and the patient and overall improvement of the pricing and billing complexities. Additionally, the transition of the BREVAGenplus® commercial programme from a direct salesforce to an ecommerce based solution in August 2017, whereby it is planned that the consumer will be able to initiate the testing by accessing the Consumer Initiated Testing (CIT) platform via the Company’s U.S. subsidiary, Phenogen Sciences, Inc. website, may not result in an increase in the uptake of BREVAGenplus®. Development and commercialisation of blockchain applications - Through the proposed strategic alliance with BCG announced on 15 February 2018, the Company presently intends to explore medical and biotech blockchain applications. Failing to successfully secure or develop and commercialise these offerings, products, solutions or services is likely to negatively impact the Company’s performance, reduce its future opportunities, and weaken its financial position. Risk management In respect of the above risks, the Group takes a proactive approach to risk management. The Board is responsible for ensuring that risks and opportunities are identified on a timely basis and that the Group’s objectives and activities are aligned with those risks and opportunities. The Board believes that it is important for all Board members to be a part of this process and the Board takes overall responsibility for the recognition and management of risk. The overview of the compliance and control mechanisms has been delegated to the Audit Committee through its Charter. The Board believes that the Group is not yet sufficiently large to warrant the appointment of an internal auditor.

GENETIC TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED 2018 Financial Report REMUNERATION REPORT Introduction This Remuneration Report outlines the Director and Executive remuneration arrangements of Genetic Technologies Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”) in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations. For the purposes of this Report, Key Management Personnel (“KMP”) of the Group are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Company and the Group, directly or indirectly, including any Director (whether executive or not) of the parent company, and includes executives in the Group who meet the criteria, as set out below, receiving the highest remuneration. For the purposes of this Report, the term “Executive” encompasses the Group’s Chief Financial Officer and Scientific Director. For details regarding changes to Key Management Personnel during the period from 1 July 2017 to the date of this Report, please refer to the notes at the foot of the Remuneration Table. Details of Directors and Key Management Personnel as at balance date Directors Dr Paul Kasian (Chairman & Interim Chief Executive Officer) Dr Jerzy Muchnicki (Executive) Dr Lindsay Wakefield (Non-Executive) Mr Peter Rubinstein (Non-Executive) Mr Xue Lee (Non-Executive) Executives Mr Kevin Fischer (Chief Financial Officer) Dr Richard Allman (Scientific Director) Remuneration Committee The remuneration committee is made up of a majority of non-executive directors. The Committee is, amongst other things, responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements for the Directors, the Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Leadership Team. As at the date of this report, the composition of the Remuneration Committee is: Dr Lindsay Wakefield – Chairman of the Committee Dr Paul Kasian Mr Peter Rubinstein As an executive, Dr Kasian does not take part in deliberations pertaining to his own remuneration. The Remuneration Committee assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration paid to Directors and Executives on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions, with the overall objective of ensuring maximum shareholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and Senior Leadership Team. Remuneration strategy The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of its Directors and Executives. To prosper, the Company must attract, motivate and retain appropriately skilled Directors and Executives. In particular, the Company embodies the following principles in its remuneration framework: provide competitive and reasonable rewards to attract and retain high calibre Executives; wherever possible, align Executive rewards to the creation of shareholder value; ensure that a portion of an Executive’s remuneration is “at risk”; and establish appropriate, demanding performance hurdles for variable Executive remuneration. The remuneration strategy is recommended by the Remuneration Committee and approved by the Board. 11

GENETIC TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED 2018 Financial Report REMUNERATION REPORT (cont.) Remuneration structure In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of Non-Executive Director and Executive remuneration is separate and distinct. The key performance indicators applicable for all Executives are quantifiable and the methods of measurement are defined. Potential levels of remuneration are linked to each performance indicator based on the pretext that if the performance indicators as defined are met then the business will have more likely achieved certain key financial or strategic objectives. In addition to the various key performance indicators that are used to assess the performance of each Executive, the overall financial performance of the Company is also taken into consideration when determining both base levels of remuneration and short term incentive payments for those individuals. Non-Executive Director remuneration Objective The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain Directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders. Structure The Company’s Constitution and the Listing Rules of the Australian Securities Exchange specify that the aggregate remuneration of Non-Executive Directors shall be determined from time to time by a General Meeting of shareholders. An amount not exceeding the amount determined is then divided between the Directors as agreed. The most recent determination was made at the 2007 Annual General Meeting, when shareholders approved an aggregate remuneration not exceeding $500,000 per year. The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst Directors are reviewed annually. Each Non-Executive Director receives a fee for serving as a Director of the Company. No additional fees are paid to any Director for serving on a sub-committee of the Board, hence all fees disclosed on page 16 are base fees by nature. Executive remuneration Objective The Group aims to reward Executives with a level and mix of remuneration which is commensurate with their positions and responsibilities within the Group and so as to: reward Executives for Group and individual performance against targets set by reference to suitable benchmarks; align the interests of Executives with those of the shareholders; and ensure that the total remuneration paid is competitive by market standards. Structure The remuneration paid to Executives is set with reference to prevailing market levels and comprises a fixed remuneration comprising base salary and superannuation, various short-term incentives (which are linked to agreed Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”), as described below under the heading of Variable remuneration), and a long-term option component. Fixed remuneration Objective The Remuneration Committee oversees the setting of fixed remuneration on an annual basis. The process consists of a review of Company, divisional and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration in the market and internally and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices. The members of the Committee have access to external advice independent of Management. 12

GENETIC TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED 2018 Financial Report REMUNERATION REPORT (cont.) Fixed remuneration (cont.) Structure Fixed remuneration consists of some or all of the following components: base salary; non-monetary benefits which can include a motor vehicle allowance, health insurance etc.; and superannuation benefits, which includes employer contributions, With the exception of the employer contributions to superannuation, Executives are given some flexibility to decide the composition of their total fixed remuneration and the allocation between cash and other benefits. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating any additional cost for the Group. Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually with reference to individual performance, market benchmarks for individual roles and the overall financial performance of the Group. Any changes to the fixed remuneration of Executives are first approved by the Remuneration Committee. All employee remuneration is evaluated on a regular basis using a set of variables and taking into account the addition of the statutory superannuation contribution. An assessment of existing base salaries is made annually using comparisons against independent market data which provides information on salaries and other benefits paid for comparable roles within the biotech and pharmaceutical industries, using third party salary survey data. Annual performance reviews with each employee are based on a rating system which is used to assess his or her eligibility for salary increases. Other qualitative factors, including the specialised knowledge and experience of the individual and the difficulty of replacing that person, are also taken into account when considering salary adjustments. Variable remuneration Objective The objective of variable remuneration is to: align the interests of Executives with those of shareholders; link Executive rewards to the achievement of strategic goals and performance of the Company; and ensure that the total remuneration paid by the Company is competitive by market standards. Short Term Incentive (“STI”) STI is an annual plan that applies to Executives and other senior employees that is based on the performance of both the Company and the individual during a given financial year. STI ranges vary depending on the role, responsibilities and deliverables achieved by each individual. Actual STI payments granted to the relevant employee will depend on the extent to which the pre-agreed specific targets are met within a financial year. Specific targets are quantifiable with the agreed method of measurement defined at the beginning of the financial year. The ongoing performance of the Executive or senior employee is evaluated regularly during the performance cycle. Group objectives, and their relative weighting, vary depending on the position and responsibility of the respective individual, but in respect of the year ended 30 June 2018 include, amongst other things, the achievement of: achieving targets for cost reduction or efficiency gains; contributing to business growth and expansion; and performance or the delivery of results which exceed agreed targets. These measures are chosen as they represent the key drivers for the short term success of the business and provide a framework for delivering long term value. Personal and operating objectives vary according to the role and responsibility of the Executive and include objectives such as service delivery to customers, project delivery, compliance outcomes, intellectual property management and various staff management and leadership objectives. Achievement of an individual’s targets or objectives is documented and assessed by both the individual and his or her direct manager. The individual will participate in an annual performance review and must provide evidence of the objectives that he or she has delivered during the period under review. Each objective is then rated on an achievement scale. Depending on the aggregate of the ratings, the individual may be eligible to receive an STI payment. 13

GENETIC TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED 2018 Financial Report REMUNERATION REPORT (cont.) Variable remuneration (cont.) STI payments, if any, are generally paid in August or September of each year subject to the completion of the performance review process and the receipt of a satisfactory rating. The Board conducts this process in the case of the CEO. Long Term Incentive (“LTI”) The objective of the Group’s LTI arrangements is to reward Executives and senior employees in a manner that aligns their remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth. As such, significant LTI grants are generally only made to Executives who are able to influence the generation of shareholder wealth and have an impact on the Group’s long term profitability. There are no specific performance hurdles, apart from certain vesting provisions, in respect of the LTI grants made to Executives. Options with a vesting period also serve as a retention tool and may reduce the likelihood of high performing Executives and senior employees being targeted by other companies. LTI grants to Executives and senior employees are delivered in the form of options over unissued ordinary shares in the Company which are granted under the terms and conditions of the Company’s Employee Option Plan. Selected Executives who contribute significantly to the long term profitability of the Company are invited to participate in the Employee Option Plan. The remuneration value of these grants varies and is determined with reference to the nature of the individual’s role, as well as his or her individual potential and specific performance. During the year ended 30 June 2018, a net share-based payments expense of $129,635 (2017: $120,287) was incurred by the Company in respect of all options which had previously been granted to Executives and other senior employees. In cases where an Executive ceases employment prior to the vesting of his or her options, the options are forfeited after a prescribed period if they have not been exercised. The prescribed period ranges from two to six months, depending on the circumstances under which they left the Company, e.g. resignation, retirement, termination or death. In the event of a change of control of the Company, the performance period end date will be brought forward to the date of the change of control and awards will vest over this shortened period. The following table shows the key performance indicators for the Group over the past five financial years ended 30 June. 14 2018 $ 2017 $ 2016 $ 2015 $ 2014 $ Profit/(loss) for the year attributable to owners of Genetic Technologies Limited (5,463,872) (8,403,826) (8,458,965) (8,810,170) (10,125,197) Basic earnings per share (cents) (0.22) (0.40) (0.49) (0.82) (1.76) Increase/(decrease) in share price 42.9% (63.2)% (32.1)% (22.2)% (62.1)% Total Key Management Personnel (KMP)incentives (being STI and LTI) as a percentage of profit/(loss) for the year (4.24)% (2.35)% (2.36)% (1.30)% (0.90)%

In this instance, all entitlements to both STI and LTI are forfeited and would lapse. The key provisions contained in the employment contracts for other Key Management Personnel in office at the date of this Report are: the Executive receives a base salary and statutory superannuation contributions, as prescribed under the Superannuation Guarantee legislation, together with certain STI payments based on achievement of Key Performance Indicators, as agreed with the Chief Executive Officer from time to time; the Executive may resign from his / her position and terminate the contract by giving up to three months written notice; the Company may terminate the contract by providing up to three months written notice or payment in lieu of notice; and the Company may terminate the contract without notice in the event of serious misconduct.

Reference is made to the revised Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations issued and revised from time to time by the ASX Corporate Governance Council. The Board believes that all concepts of the revised Principles and Recommendations have been satisfied, however the Board is realistic with respect to the relative size and nature of the Company and have implemented the Recommendations accordingly.

GENETIC TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED 2018 Financial Report NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2018 1. CORPORATE INFORMATION The Financial Report of Genetic Technologies Limited (the “Company”) for the year ended 30 June 2018 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors dated 30 August 2018. Genetic Technologies Limited is incorporated in Australia and is a company limited by shares. The Directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements. The Company’s ordinary shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange under the symbol GTG and, via Level II American Depositary Receipts, on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the ticker GENE. 2. (a) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of preparation This general purpose Financial Report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Compliance with IFRS The Financial Report complies with Australian Accounting Standards as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Historical cost convention These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) which are measured at fair value. Critical accounting estimates The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires Management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are critical to the financial statements, are disclosed in Note 3. Going concern For the year ending 30 June 2018, the Group incurred a total comprehensive loss of $5,986,838 (2017: $8,534,481) and net cash outflow from operations of $5,621,315 (2017: $6,813,639). As at 30 June 2018 the Group held total cash and cash equivalents of $5,487,035. During the 2019 financial year, the Directors expect increased cash outflows from operations as the Company continues to invest resources in expanding the research & development, sales & marketing, and blockchain activities in support of the distribution of BREVAGenplus® and its pipeline of risk assessment products. As a result of these expected cash outflows, the Directors intend to raise new equity funding within the next twelve months in order to ensure the Company continues to hold adequate levels of available cash resources to meet creditors and other commitments. The Company has subsequent to 30 June 2018 executed an equity placement facility with Kentgrove Capital Pty Ltd whereby it has an opportunity to raise equity funding of up to $20 million in a series of individual placements of up to $1 million (or a higher amount by mutual agreement) over a period of 20 months, expiring 7 April 2020. The Company has in place an open Placement Prospectus, and although it does not currently have binding commitments from any party to subscribe for Placement Shares, the Placement Offer within the Prospectus provides the Company with greater flexibility should the opportunity arise to offer and issue any of the Placement Shares while this Prospectus remains open. In addition to this facility the Directors will also consider other sources of equity funding through traditional offerings in either Australia or the United States. The continuing viability of the Company and its ability to continue as a going concern and meet its debts and commitments as they fall due is dependent on the satisfactory completion of planned equity raisings, which are not guaranteed. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the timing, quantum or the ability to raise additional equity, there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, that 27

GENETIC TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED 2018 Financial Report 2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.) (a) Basis of preparation (cont.) Going Concern (cont.) it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Directors believe that the Group will be successful in the above matters and accordingly, have prepared the financial report on a going concern basis. As such no adjustments have been made to the financial statements relating to the recoverability and classification of the asset carrying amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not be able to continue as a going concern. As a U.S. SEC registrant, the Company is required to have its financial statements audited in accordance with Public Company Oversight Board ("PCAOB") standards. References in these IFRS financial statements to matters that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern also raise substantial doubt as contemplated by the PCAOB standards. (b) New accounting standards and interpretations (i) Standards and Interpretations affecting amounts reported in the current period (and/or prior period) The group has not applied any new standards or amendments for the first time for their annual reporting period commencing 1 July 2017. (ii) Standards and Interpretations in issue but not yet adopted In respect of the year ended 30 June 2018, the Group has assessed all new Australian accounting standards, and the IFRS equivalent, mandatory for adoption during the current year, noting no new standards which would have a material effect on the disclosure in these financial statements. There has been no effect on the profit and loss or the financial position of the Group. Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2018 reporting periods. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below. 28 Title of Standard Summary and impact on Group's financial statements Application date of the standard Application date for Group for financial year ending AASB 9 Financial Instruments (IFRS 9 Financial Instruments) AASB 9 Financial Instruments replaces AASB 139 and addresses and classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and liabilities. It also addresses the new hedge accounting requirements, including changes to hedge effectiveness, treatment of hedging costs and risk components that can be hedged. AASB 9 introduces a new expected loss impairment model that will require entities to account for expected credit losses at the time of recognising the asset. The Group does not expect the adoption of the new standard to have a material impact on its classification and measurement of the financial assets and liabilities or its results on adoption of the new impairment model. The group has the following financial assets as at the balance date: Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of 3 months or less. For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above. Cash at bank earns interest at floating rates based on daily bank deposit rates. Short-term deposits are made for varying periods, depending on the immediate cash requirements of the Group, and earn interest at the respective short-term deposit rates. Given the nature of cash, the expected loss model will not be material. 1 January 2018 30 June 2019

GENETIC TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED 2018 Financial Report 29 Trade and other receivables Trade receivables, which are non-interest bearing and generally have terms of between 30 to 90 days, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance for doubtful debts is made when there is objective evidence that a receivable is impaired. Such evidence includes an assessment of the debtor’s ability and willingness to pay the amount due. The amount of the allowance/impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the trade receivables and the estimated future cash flows expected to be received from the relevant debtors. The Group expects to continue to hold these assets in cash and cash equivalents and thus does not expect to be impacted by the classification and measurement provisions of AASB 9. The only financial liabilities the group has at the balance date relate to trade and other payables. Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. Trade payables and other payables generally have terms of between 30 and 60 days. Given the nature of these liabilities, the group does not expect to adopt the fair value option under AASB9. The Group does not hold any derivative instruments and thus the related impacts of AASB 9 will not be applicable. The Group has decided not to early adopt AASB 9. AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers) AASB 15 provides a single, principles based five-step model to be applied to all contracts with customers. The five steps in the model are as follows: 1.identify contracts with customers 2.identify the separate performance obligations 3.determine the transaction price of the contract 4.allocate the transaction price to each of the separate performance obligations, and 5.recognise the revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. Guidance is provided on topics such as the point in which revenue is recognised, accounting for variable consideration, costs of fulfilling and obtaining a contract and various related matters. AASB 15 must be applied for financial years commencing on or after January 1, 2018. The Group has not adopted AASB 15 before the mandatory date. The Group intends to adopt the standard using the modified retrospective approach which means that the cumulative impact of the adoption will be recognised in retained earnings as of July 1, 2018, and comparative disclosures will not be restated. The adoption of this standard will apply to the recognition of the sales related to the BREVAGENplus product as the Group’s current sole revenue stream. Revenue generated from this product is not currently material and thus we do not expect there to be any material impact upon adoption. 1 January 2018 30 June 2019

GENETIC TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED 2018 Financial Report There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that are expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions. (c) Principles of consolidation Subsidiaries The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Genetic Technologies Limited (the “Company” or “Parent Entity”) as at 30 June 2018 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Genetic Technologies Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this Financial Report as the “Group” or the “Consolidated Entity”. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the group has control. The group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement within the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains / losses on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the Group’s policies. Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of changes in equity, respectively. Segment reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing the performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer. (d) (e) Parent entity financial information The financial information for the parent entity, Genetic Technologies Limited has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except that investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the financial statements of Genetic Technologies Limited. Loans to subsidiaries are written down to their recoverable value as at balance date. (f) Foreign currency translation The functional and presentation currency of Genetic Technologies Limited and its Australian subsidiaries is the Australian dollar (AUD). Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities which are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All differences are taken to the statement of comprehensive income. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate ruling at the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates ruling at the date when the fair value was determined. The functional currencies of the Company’s two overseas subsidiaries are as follows: 30 AASB 16 Leases (IFRS 16 Leases) AASB 16 will primarily affect the accounting by lessees and will result in the recognition of almost all leases on the balance sheet. The standard removes the current distinction between operating & financing leases and requires recognition of an asset (the right to use the leased item) and financial liability to pay rentals for almost all of the lease contracts. The accounting by lessors, however, will not significantly change The Group is in the process of assessing the potential future impact on the balance sheet of the recently executed lease agreements for premises in Fitzroy and Charlotte, which are considered material. The new standard will result in extended disclosures in the financial statements. The Group has decided not to early adopt AASB 16 1 January 2019 30 June 2020

GENETIC TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED 2018 Financial Report 2. (f) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.) Foreign currency translation (cont.) GeneType Corporation – United States dollars (USD) Phenogen Sciences Inc. – United States dollars (USD) As at the reporting date, the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into the presentation currency of Genetic Technologies Limited at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date and the statement of comprehensive income is translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the period unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions. The exchange differences arising on the retranslation are recognised in other comprehensive income and taken directly to a separate component of equity. On disposal or liquidation of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognised in equity relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. (g) Earnings per share (“EPS”) Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year. Diluted EPS adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic EPS to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. (h) Revenue recognition Revenues are recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity and the revenues can be reliably measured. Revenues are recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable net of the amounts of Goods and Services Tax. The following recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: Genetic testing revenues The Company operates facilities which provide genetic testing services. The Company recognises revenue from the provision of these services when the services have been completed. Interest received Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues using the effective interest method. Government Grants Research and development tax incentive The Australian government replaced the research and development tax concession with research and development (R&D) tax incentive from 1 July 2011. The R&D tax incentive applies to expenditure incurred and the use of depreciating assets in an income year commencing on or after 1 July 2011. A refundable tax offset is available to eligible companies with an annual aggregate turnover of less than $20 million. Management has assessed the Group’s activities and expenditure to determine which are likely to be eligible under the incentive scheme. The Group accounts for the R&D tax incentive as a government grant. The grant is recognised as other income over the period in which the R&D expense is recognised. Other Other Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the company will comply with all attached conditions. (i) Share-based payment transactions The fair value of options granted under an Employee Option Plan is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognized over the vesting period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. The fair value at grant date is determined by management with the assistance of an independent valuer, using a Black-Scholes option pricing model or a Monte 31

GENETIC TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED 2018 Financial Report 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.) (i) Share-based payment transactions (cont.) Carlo simulation analysis. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted; -including any market performance conditions (e.g. the entities share price) -excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions (e.g. remaining an employee over a specified time period) The cumulative employee benefits expense recognised at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired; and (ii) the number of awards that, in the opinion of the Directors of the Group, will ultimately vest. This opinion is formed based on the best information available at balance date. Where 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 increase in the value of the transaction as a result of the modification, as at the date of modification. Where appropriate, the dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share. The Company’s policy is to treat the options of terminated employees as forfeitures. (j) Income tax The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the national income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and unused tax losses. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the company’s subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity. Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Tax consolidation legislation Genetic Technologies Limited (“GTG”) and its wholly-owned Australian-resident subsidiaries have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. The head entity, GTG, and the subsidiaries in the tax consolidated group account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax consolidated group continues to be a stand-alone taxpayer in its own right. In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, GTG also recognises the current tax assets / liabilities and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and tax credits assumed from subsidiaries in the tax consolidated group. Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as 32

GENETIC TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED 2018 Financial Report 2. (j) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.) Income tax (cont.) Tax consolidation legislation (cont.) amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the Group. Any difference between the amounts assumed and amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreements are recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) wholly-owned tax subsidiaries. (k) Other taxes Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of Goods and Services Tax (GST) except where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet. Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis and the GST component arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from / payable to the taxation authority, are classified as operating cash flows. (l) Withholding tax The Group generates revenues from the granting of licenses to parties resident in overseas countries. Such revenues may, in certain circumstances, be subject to the deduction of local withholding tax. In such cases, revenues are recorded net of any withholding tax deducted. (m) Finance costs Finance costs are recognised using the effective interest rate method. (n) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of 3 months or less. For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above. Cash at bank earns interest at floating rates based on daily bank deposit rates. Short-term deposits are made for varying periods, depending on the immediate cash requirements of the Group, and earn interest at the respective short-term deposit rates. (o) Trade and other receivables Trade receivables, which are non-interest bearing and generally have terms of between 30 to 90 days, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance for doubtful debts is made when there is objective evidence that a receivable is impaired. Such evidence includes an assessment of the debtor’s ability and willingness to pay the amount due. The amount of the allowance/impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the trade receivables and the estimated future cash flows expected to be received from the relevant debtors. (p) Inventories Inventories principally comprise laboratory and other supplies and are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Inventory costs are recognised as the purchase price of items from suppliers plus freight inwards and any applicable landing charges. Costs are assigned on the basis of weighted average cost. (q) Property, plant and equipment Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the respective asset as follows: Laboratory equipment – 3 to 5 years Computer equipment – 3 years Office equipment – 3 to 5 years Leasehold improvements – lease term, being between 1 and 3 years Costs relating to day-to-day servicing of any item of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. The cost of replacing larger parts of some items of property, plant and equipment are capitalised when incurred and depreciated over the period until their next scheduled replacement, with the replacement parts being subsequently written off. 33

GENETIC TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED 2018 Financial Report 2. (r) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.) Intangible assets Patents Patents held by the Group are used in the licensing, testing and research areas and are carried at cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful lives, being 10 years. External costs incurred in filing and protecting patent applications, for which no future benefit is reasonably assured, are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs Costs relating to research activities are expensed as incurred. An intangible asset arising from development expenditure on an internal project is recognised only when the Group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the development and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. To date, all development costs have been expensed as incurred as their recoverability cannot be regarded as assured. (s) 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, 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 of disposal or 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 operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at its revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. An assessment is 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 so, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. The 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 it reverses a decrement previously charged to equity, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation 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. Employee benefits (i) Short-term obligations Provision is made for employee benefits accumulated as a result of employees rendering services up to the reporting date. These benefits include wages and salaries, annual leave and long service leave. Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, expected to be settled within twelve months of the reporting date are measured at their nominal amounts based on remuneration rates which are expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Expenses for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken during the year and are measured at rates paid or payable. (ii) Other long-term employee benefit obligations The liabilities for long service leave and annual leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the reporting period in which the employee renders the related service. They are therefore recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of (t) 34

GENETIC TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED 2018 Financial Report 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.) (t) Employee benefits (cont.) (ii) Other long-term employee benefit obligations (cont.) service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period of corporate bonds with terms and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur. (iii) Retirement benefit obligations The Group does not have any defined benefit funds. Statutory contributions to defined contribution superannuation funds are recognised as an expense as they become payable. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available. Statutory contributions are legally enforceable in Australia. (u) Provisions Provisions for legal claims, service claims and make good obligations are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. (v) Trade and other payables Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. Trade payables and other payables generally have terms of between 30 and 60 days. (w) Contributed equity Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company. Transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a deduction, net of tax, of the proceeds received. The Company has a share-based payment option plan under which options to subscribe for the Company’s shares have been granted to certain executives and other employees. 3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS Estimates and judgements are evaluated and based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Company and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are set out below. Share-based payments transactions The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the value of the equity instruments at the date on which they are granted. Management has determined the fair value by engaging an independent valuer using a Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo simulation options pricing model. 35

At 30 June 2018, the group had a potential tax benefit related to tax losses carried forward of $22,596,182. Such amount includes net losses of $ 5,155,038 related to subsidiaries in the United States (U.S.). The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) enacted by Congress in the U.S on 22 December 2017 cut the top corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%. For ta x years beginning after December 31, 2017, the graduated corporate tax rate structure is eliminated and corporate taxable income will be taxed at 21-percent flat rate. Additionally, the previous 20-year limitation on carry forward net operating losses (NOL’s) has been removed, allowing the NOL’s to be carried forward indefinitely. The remaining tax losses carried forward of $ 17,441,144 are indefinite and are attributable to the Group’s operations in Australia. As such the total unused tax losses available to the Group, equal $22,596,182. As at balance date, there are unrecognised tax losses with a benefit of approximately $22,596,182 (2017: $22,194,323) that have not been recognised as a deferred tax asset to the Group. These unrecognised deferred tax assets will only be obtained if: (a) (b) (c) The Group companies derive future assessable income of a nature and amount sufficient to enable the benefits to be realised; The Group companies continue to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by the law; and No changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Group companies from realising the benefit. Tax consolidation legislation Genetic Technologies Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries implemented the tax consolidation legislation as from 1 July 2003. The accounting policy in relation to this legislation is set out in Note 2(j). The entities in the tax consolidated group have entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement which, in the opinion of the Directors, limits the joint and several liabilities of the wholly-owned entities in the case of a default by the head entity, Genetic Technologies Limited. The entities have also entered into a Tax Funding Agreement under which the wholly-owned entities fully compensate Genetic Technologies Limited for any current tax payable assumed and are compensated by Genetic Technologies Limited for any current tax receivable and deferred tax assets relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to Genetic Technologies Limited under the tax consolidation legislation. The funding amounts are determined by reference to the amounts recognised in the respective subsidiaries’ financial statements. The amounts receivable or payable under the Tax Funding Agreement are due upon receipt of the funding advice from the head entity, which is issued as soon as practicable after the end of each financial year. As at 30 June 2018, there are no unrecognised temporary differences associated with the Group’s investments in subsidiaries, as the Group has no liability for additional taxation should unremitted earnings be remitted (2017: $nil). 9.

The Group performed an impairment assessment, which resulted in a non-cash impairment of the Patents and other Intangible assets associated with the BREVAGenTM test of $544,694 being recorded at 31 December 2016. There have been no indications of a change in the estimates used to determine the assets recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized and as such there is no reversal in the current year ended 30 June 2018. In order to support this conclusion, the Company undertook an impairment assessment as follows: i. calculating the value in use of each Intangible asset using a discounted cash flow model. These models used cash flows (revenues, expenses and capital expenditure) for each asset based on their remaining useful lives of approximately 4 years. The cash flows were then discounted to net present values at an average of the most recent rates utilised by other Companies in the industry in which the Group operates and have been assessed by management to align with the long term growth profile of the Company. A pre-tax discount rate of 14.5%, and a growth rate estimate of 2.0% was used throughout the value in use model, and comparing the resulting value in use of each Intangible asset to their respective book values ii.

GENETIC TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED 2018 Financial Report 28. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks such as credit risk, market risk (including foreign currency risk and interest rate risk) and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses different methods to measure the different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of foreign exchange, interest rate and aging analysis for credit risk. Risk management is managed by the Executive under guidance provided by the Board of Directors via its Audit Committee, which provides guidance for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as credit risk, foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk. The Committee identifies and evaluates financial risks in close cooperation with the Group’s executive management. The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents. The Group also has other financial assets and liabilities, such as trade receivables and payables, which arise directly from its operations. The Group does not typically enter into derivative transactions, such as interest rate swaps or forward currency contracts. It is, and has been throughout the period under review, the Group’s policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken. The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are credit risk exposures, foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. The policies for managing each of these risks are summarised below. Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in Note 2. The Group holds the following financial instruments: Consolidated 2018 $ 2017 $ Financial assets Cash at bank / on hand Trade and other receivables Performance bond and deposits Total financial assets 5,487,035 301,383 3,505 10,988,255 426,272 3,376 5,791,923 11,417,903 Financial liabilities Trade and other payables Total financial liabilities 945,130 898,103 945,130 898,103 Credit risk The Group’s credit risk is managed on a Group basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions. Other receivables represent amounts accrued for which reimbursement will be applied for from the Australian Taxation Authority under the Governments Research & Development grant. The maximum exposures to credit risk at 30 June 2018 in relation to each class of recognsied financial asset is the carrying amount of those assets, as indicated in the balance sheet. 55

GENETIC TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED 2018 Financial Report 28. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont.) Credit risk (cont.) Financial assets included on the balance sheet that potentially subject the Group to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables. In accordance with the guidelines of the Group’s Short Term Investment Policy, the Group minimises this concentration of risk by placing its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions that maintain superior credit ratings in order to limit the degree of credit exposure. For banks and financial institutions, only independently-rated parties with a minimum rating of “A-1” are accepted. The Group has also established guidelines relative to credit ratings, diversification and maturities that seek to maintain safety and liquidity. The Group does not require collateral to provide credit to its customers. On 1 April 2017, a change to the billing policy for the BREVAGenplus® test was introduced whereby the test is now only provided on a patient self-pay basis. This is in contrast to prior periods, whereby once a BREVAGenTM or BREVAGenplus® test had been performed, historically a patient elected to self-pay or where applicable seek healthcare provider payment on receipt of the outcome of the test. The nature of this revenue recognition cycle increased the risk of credit exposure. The Group has not entered into any transactions that qualify as a financial derivative instrument. The trade receivables balance is reflective of historical collection rates which are monitored on an ongoing basis and adjusted accordingly based on changing collection and test data. As at 30 June 2018, the balance of the Group’s total accrued net trade receivables was $10,503 (2017: $200,837 (refer Note 11). Credit risk further arises in relation to financial guarantees given by the Group to certain parties in respect of obligations of its subsidiaries. Such guarantees are only provided in exceptional circumstances. An analysis of the aging of trade and other receivables is provided below: Consolidated 2018 $ 2017 $ Net trade and other receivables Current (less than 30 days) 31 days to 60 days 61 days to 90 days Greater than 90 days Total net trade and other receivables (Note 11) 294,454 3142 783 3004 426,272 - - - 301,383 426,272 56

GENETIC TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED 2018 Financial Report 28. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont.) Market risk Foreign currency risk The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk, primarily with respect to the US dollar, through financial assets and liabilities. It is the Group’s policy not to hedge these transactions as the exposure is considered to be minimal from a consolidated operations perspective. Further, as the Group incurs expenses which are payable in US dollars, the financial assets that are held in US dollars provide a natural hedge for the Group. Foreign exchange risk arises from planned future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency and net investments in foreign operations. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting. The Group has a Foreign Exchange Management Policy which was developed to establish a formal framework and procedures for the efficient management of the financial risks that impact on Genetic Technologies Limited through its activities outside of Australia, predominantly in the United States. The policy governs the way in which the financial assets and liabilities of the Group that are denominated in foreign currencies are managed and any risks associated with that management are identified and addressed. Under the policy, which is updated on a regular basis as circumstances dictate, the Group generally retains in foreign currency only sufficient funds to meet the expected expenditures in that currency. Surplus funds are converted into Australian dollars as and when deemed appropriate by the Board in consultation with the CFO. As at 30 June 2018, the Group held the currencies: Consolidated Financial assets Cash at bank / on hand following financial assets and liabilities that were denominated in foreign Year USD EUR CHF 2018 2017 2,154,291 6,203,335 28,952 30,852 - - Total financial assets 2018 2017 2,154,291 28,952 - 6,203,335 30,852 - Financial liabilities Trade and other payables 2018 2017 116,063 99,540 - - - - Total financial liabilities 2018 2017 EUR – European euros 116,063 99,540 - - - - Notes:USD – United States dollars CHF – Swiss francs During the year ended 30 June 2018, the Australian dollar / US dollar exchange rate weakened by 3.7%, from 0.7686 at the beginning of the year to 0.7403 at the end of the year. Based on the financial instruments held at 30 June 2018, had the Australian dollar weakened/ strengthened by 10% against the US dollar with all other variables held constant, the Group’s loss for the year would have been $306,000 lower/ $250,000 higher (2017: loss $882,000 lower / loss $722,000 higher), mainly as a result of changes in the values of cash and cash equivalents which are denominated in US dollars, as detailed in the above tables. 57

GENETIC TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED 2018 Financial Report 28. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont.) Market risk (cont.) Interest rate risk The Group’s main interest rate risk arises in relation to its short-term deposits with various financial institutions. If rates were to decrease, the Group may generate less interest revenue from such deposits. However, given the relatively short duration of such deposits, the associate risk is relatively minimal. The Group has a Short Term Investment Policy which was developed to manage the Group’s surplus cash and cash equivalents. In this context, the Group adopts a prudent approach that is tailored to cash forecasts rather than seeking high returns that may compromise access to funds as and when they are required. Under the policy, the Group deposits its surplus cash in a range of deposits / securities over different time frames and with different institutions in order to diversify its portfolio and minimise risk. On a monthly basis, Management provides the Board with a detailed list of all cash and cash equivalents, showing the periods over which the cash has been deposited, the name and credit rating of the institution holding the deposit and the interest rate at which the funds have been deposited. At 30 June 2018, if interest rates had changed by +/-50 basis points from the year-end rates, with all other variables held constant, the Group’s loss for the year would have been $12,000 lower / higher (2017: loss $12,000 lower / higher), as a result of higher / lower interest income from cash and cash equivalents. Consolidated equity for the Group would have been $12,000 higher / lower (2017: $12,000 higher / lower) mainly as a result of an increase / decrease in the fair value of cash and cash equivalents. The exposure to interest rate risks and the effective interest rates of financial assets and liabilities, both recognised and unrealised, for the Group is as follows: Year Floating rate Fixed rate Carrying amount Weighted ave.Ave. maturity effective rate Period Consolidated Financial assets Cash at bank / on hand $ $ $ % Days 2018 2017 2018 2017 2,394,754 2,468,730 - - - - 3,505 3,376 2,394,754 2,468,730 3,505 3,376 1.74% 1.75% - - At call At call At call At call Performance bond / deposits Totals 2018 2017 2,394,754 3,505 2, 398,259 2,468,730 3,376 2,472,106 Financial liabilities Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss 2018 - - - - - 2017 - - - - - Note The Company holds the balance of its cash in non-interest bearing bank accounts. Liquidity risk Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities, such as its hire purchase and credit card facilities. The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and, wherever possible, matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, Management aims to maintain flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available. Surplus funds are generally only invested in instruments that are tradeable in highly liquid markets. Refer note 2(a) for further information on the material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. 58

Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Independence We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia.

PricewaterhouseCoopers, ABN 52 780 433 757 2 Riverside Quay, SOUTHBANK VIC 3006, GPO Box 1331, MELBOURNE VIC 3001 T: 61 3 8603 1000, F: 61 3 8603 1999, www.pwc.com.au Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

Material uncertainty related to going concern We draw attention to Note 2(a) in the financial report, which indicates that the Group incurred a total comprehensive loss of $5,986,838 and had net cash outflows from operations of $5,621,315 during the year ended 30 June 2018. The Group’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the successful execution of the planned equity raisings. These conditions, along with other matters set forth in Note 2(a), indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. Our audit approach An audit is designed to provide reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial report. We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed enough work to be able to give an opinion on the financial report as a whole, taking into account the geographic and management structure of the Group, its accounting processes and controls and the industry in which it operates. For the purpose of our audit we used overall materiality of $270,000, which represents approximately 5% of the Group’s total loss from operations before income tax expense. We applied this threshold, together with qualitative considerations, to determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements on the financial report as a whole. We chose loss from operations before income tax expense, which is a commonly accepted benchmark and utilised a 5% threshold based on our professional judgement, noting it is within the range of commonly accepted thresholds. Our audit focused on where the Group made subjective judgements; for example, significant accounting estimates involving assumptions and inherently uncertain future events. The accounting processes are structured around a Group-wide finance function at the head office Melbourne, where our procedures were predominately performed. Our approach had regard for the quality of the control environment and deficiencies identified, which include lack of segregation of duties. Materiality Audit scope

Key audit matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report for the current period. The key audit matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Further, any commentary on the outcomes of a particular audit procedure is made in that context. We communicated the key audit matters to the Audit Committee. In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty related to going concern section, we have determined the matter described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. Related Party Disclosures (Refer to note 25) Our procedures over transactions between the Group and BCG as disclosed within Note 25 to the financial report included, amongst others: A number of Directors of the Group presently or previously have had involvement with Blockchain Global Limited (BCG), which meets the definition of a related party under Australian Accounting Standards Board 124 Related Party Disclosures. Reading the formal agreement between the parties to obtain an understanding of the proposed framework Holding discussions with management and directors to obtain an understanding of the proposed initiatives with BCG Reading minutes of meetings held amongst the board of directors where matters related to BCG were discussed Assessing if the associated disclosures made in the financial report complied with Australia Accounting Standards Board 124 Related Party Disclosures. As announced by the Group on 15 February 2018, a non-binding terms sheet with BCG was entered into to provide a framework for continuing discussions between the two companies. As announced by the Group on 2 August 2018, a framework agreement with BCG was entered into formalizing the non-binding terms sheet and providing a framework for the alliance between the Company and BCG, with this agreement only becoming binding on the Company obtaining the approval of non-associated shareholders. This framework includes a proposed issuance of 486,000,000 shares to BCG in 3 tranches subject to the achievement of certain milestones. Given the significance of this strategic alliance with a related party, we have determined this is a key audit matter. Other information The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. Prior to the date of this auditor's report, the other information we obtained included the Directors' Report, Corporate Information, Corporate Key audit matterHow our audit addressed the key audit matter

Governance Statement and ASX Additional Information. We expect the remaining other information to be made available to us after the date of this auditor's report. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express an opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. When we read the other information not yet received as identified above, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to the directors and use our professional judgement to determine the appropriate action to take. Responsibilities of the directors for the financial report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial report. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf.

Corporate Governance CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT INTRODUCTION Genetic Technologies Limited and its Board are committed to achieving and demonstrating the highest standards of corporate governance. The Board continues to review its corporate governance framework and practices to ensure they meet the interests of shareholders. The Company and its controlled entities together are referred to as the “Group” in this statement. Reference is made to the revised Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations issued and revised from time to time by the ASX Corporate Governance Council. The Board believes that all concepts of the revised Principles and Recommendations have been satisfied, however the Board is realistic with respect to the relative size and nature of the Company and have implemented the Recommendations accordingly. The Company endeavours to ensure exceptions to the guidelines do not have negative impact on the best interests of shareholders. While in most respects the Company complies with the Recommendations, it is recognised that the development and implementation of policies and practices is an ongoing process that evolves with the needs of the business and its stakeholders. A description of the Group’s main corporate governance practices is set out below. All of these practices, unless otherwise stated, were in place for the entire year. The following Corporate Governance documents had been adopted by the Board, in addition to the Company’s Constitution which was completely revised and subsequently approved by the Company’s shareholders in November 2005. The Comp any’s Con sti t ution; Board Charter; Audit Committee Charter; Remuneration Committee Charter; Board Performance Evaluation Policy; Board Protocol; Code of Conduct; Continuous Disclosure Policy; Diversity Policy; Risk and Compliance Policy; Securities Trading Policy; Shareholder Communications Policy; and Whistle-blower Policy. ASX PRINCIPLES AND RECOMMENDATIONS Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight The relationship between the Board and Management is critical to the Group’s success. The Directors are responsible to the shareholders for the performance of the Group in both the 15

short and longer terms and seek to balance sometimes competing objectives in the best interests of the Group as a whole. Their focus is to enhance the interests of shareholders and other key stakeholders and to ensure the Group is properly managed. 1.1 Responsibilities of the Board The responsibilities of the Board include: providing strategic guidance to the Group, including contributing to the development of and approving the Group’s corporate strategy; reviewing and approving business plans, the annual budget and financial plans, including available resources and major capital expenditure initiatives; overseeing and monitoring: organisational performance and the achievement of the Group’s strategic goals and objectives; o compliance with the Company’s Code of Conduct; and o progress of major capital expenditures and other significant projects, including any acquisitions or divestments; o monitoring the Group’s financial performance, including approval of the annual and half-year financial reports and regular liaison with the Company’s auditors; appointment, performance assessment and, if necessary, removal of the Chief Executive Officer; ratifying the appointment and/or removal and contributing to the performance assessment for the members of the Senior Leadership Team; ensuring there are effective management processes in place for approving major corporate initiatives; enhancing and protecting the reputation of the organisation; overseeing the operation of the Group’s system for compliance and risk management reporting to shareholders; and ensuring appropriate resources are available to senior Management to enable them to implement the strategies approved by the Board. Day-to-day management of the Group’s affairs and the implementation of the corporate strategy and policy initiatives are formally delegated by the Board to the Chief Executive Officer and the senior executives as set out in the Group’s delegations policies. These delegations are reviewed by the Board from time to time. 1.2 New director appointments and elections Before appointing a director or putting forward a candidate to shareholders for election, the Board will undertake appropriate background checks. The commitments of Non-executive Directors are considered prior to their appointment to the Board and are reviewed regularly. Prior to appointment or being submitted for re-election, each Non-executive Director is 16

required to specifically acknowledge that they have and will continue to have the time available to discharge their responsibilities to the Company. The Board will also provide all material information which is relevant to whether or not a person should be elected or re-elected to shareholders (including information relating to independence and a recommendation regarding support or otherwise to the candidate’s appointment or election). When a need to appoint a new Director is to be considered, the Board considers the range and breadth of skills, experience and expertise on the Board, and compares that to future needs. From this, a short-list of candidates with appropriate skills and experience gets considered. A number of channels are used to source candidates to ensure the Company benefits from a diverse range of individuals in the selection process. Where necessary, advice is sought from independent search consultants. The full Board then appoints the most suitable candidate who must stand for election at the Company’s next AGM. The nomination of existing Directors for reappointment is not automatic and is partly contingent on their past performance, contribution to the effective operation of the Board and the current and future needs of both the Board and Company. The Board is aware of the advantages of Board renewal and succession planning. Notices of meetings for the election of Directors comply with the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s best practice recommendations. 1.3 Written agreements with Directors and Senior Executives New Directors receive a letter of appointment, which outlines the Company’s expectations in relation to participation, time commitments and compliance with policies and regulatory requirements. As with all employees, senior executives are required to sign employment agreements setting out the key terms of employment. Non-executive Directors are expected to spend adequate time preparing for and attending Board and Sub-Committee meetings and associated activities. The number of meetings of the Company’s Board of Directors and of each Board Sub-Committee held are disclosed in each Annual Report. The commitments of all Non-executive Directors are considered by the Board prior to the Director’s appointment to the Board and are reviewed each year as part of the annual performance assessment. Prior to appointment or being submitted for re-election, each Non-executive Director is required to specifically acknowledge that they have, and will continue to have, the time available to discharge their responsibilities to the Company. 1.4 Company Secretary The Company Secretary is accountable directly to the Board, through the Chair, on all matters related to the proper functioning of the Board. 17

1.5 Diversity Policy The Company values diversity and recognises the benefits it can bring to the organisation’s ability to achieve its goals. Accordingly, the Company has developed and introduced a diversity policy which outlines its diversity objectives in relation to gender, age, cultural background, ethnicity and other factors. It includes requirements for the Board to establish measurable objectives for achieving diversity, and for the Board to assess annually both the objectives, and the Company’s progress made in achieving them. In accordance with the Company’s Diversity Policy and ASX Corporate Governance principles, the Board has established various objectives in relation to gender diversity. The aim is to achieve these objectives over the coming years as relevant positions become vacant and appropriately-skilled candidates are available. Overall and Management – equal representation, however the “best fit” of a person is of much more importance Board – at least one female director The Company is aware of the benefits of diversity, not only from gender but from a wide range of different backgrounds, cultures, experiences, ethnicity, etc. to leverage the widest possible pool of available talent. As at the most recent year end reporting date, being 30 June 2018, the Group’s gender diversity mix is: Senior management is defined as a manager who has a relatively high leadership role in the day-to-day responsibilities of managing the Company. It is noted that the Company currently has a high level of both gender and general diversity, however given the relatively small number of total employees, a change of one or few employees may have a significant impact on the measurable diversity objectives. 1.6 Board, committee and director performance The performance of the Board, its Chair and its committees is considered each year by the full Board in an open format.

1.7 Senior executive performance The appraisal of senior executives is an ongoing process throughout the year with an annual appraisal considered by the Chief Executive Officer(CEO)/ Remuneration Committee during the annual remuneration review, the latter last taking place at the end of the most recent financial year. Principle 2: Structure the Board to add value The Board operates in accordance with the broad principles set out in its Charter which provides details of the Board’s composition and responsibilities. Conflict of interests In accordance with good governance practices, all Directors are required to declare all interests in dealings with the Company and are required to take no part in decisions relating to them. In addition, those Directors are not entitled to receive any papers from the Group pertaining to those dealings. The following declarations of interest were received from Directors during the most recent financial year: Mr Peter Rubinstein – Blockchain Global Limited. Mr Rubinstein is a shareholder and Consultant. Mr Sam Lee – Blockcahin Global Limited. Mr Lee is the founder, CEO and a shareholder. Dr George Muchnicki – Blockchain Global Limited. Dr Muchnicki is a shareholder. Dr Paul Kasian – Blockchain Global Limited. Dr Kasian was a director until his resignation in July 2018. The company executed a strategic alliance with Blockchain Global Limited during the year which is subject to shareholder approval. Independent professional advice All Directors and members of the Board’s Committees have the right, in connection with their duties and responsibilities, to seek independent professional advice at the Company’s expense. Prior written approval from the Chair is required, but such approval will not be unreasonably withheld. Board Sub-Committees The Board has established Committees to assist in the execution of its duties and to allow detailed consideration of complex issues. The current Committees of the Board are the Audit and Remuneration Committees. The Audit Committee is comprised entirely of Non-executive Directors whereas the Remuneration Committee has a majority of Non-executives. The Committee structure and membership is reviewed on an annual basis. Each Committee has its own written Charter setting out its role and responsibilities and that of its members, its composition, structure, membership requirements and the manner in which the Committee is to operate. Both of these Charters are reviewed on an annual basis and are available on the Company’s website. All matters determined by the Committees are submitted to the full Board as recommendations for Board decisions. 19

Minutes of Committee meetings are tabled at the subsequent Board meeting. Additional requirements for specific reporting by the Committees to the Board are addressed in the Charter of the individual Committees. 2.1 Nomination committee Given the nature and size of the Company’s operations, the Board has decided against the use of a separate nomination committee. This function is undertaken by the full Board. 2.2 Board skills matrix Given the nature and size of the Company, the Board has yet to utilise a formal Board skills matrix. This to-date informal process will be re-evaluated as the Company grows. 2.3 Board composition and independence The Charter states that: the Board is to be comprised of both executive and Non-executive Directors with a majority of Non-executive Directors. Non-executive Directors bring a fresh perspective to the Board’s consideration of strategic, risk and performance matters; in recognition of the importance of independent views and the Board’s role in supervising the activities of Management, the Chair must be an independent Non-executive Director, the majority of the Board must be independent of Management and all Directors are required to exercise independent judgement and review and constructively challenge the performance of the Senior Leadership Team; the Chair is elected by the full Board and is required to meet regularly with the Chief Executive Officer; the Company should, where practical, maintain a mix of Directors on the Board from different genders, age groups, ethnicity and cultural and professional backgrounds who have complementary skills and experience; the Board is to establish measurable Board gender diversity objectives and assess annually the objectives and progress made in achieving them; and the Board should undertake an annual Board performance review and consider the appropriate mix of skills required by the Board to maximise its effectiveness and its contribution to the Group. The Board seeks to ensure that: at any point in time, its membership represents an appropriate balance between Directors with experience and knowledge of the Group and Directors with an external or fresh perspective; and the size of the Board is conducive to effective discussion and efficient decision-making. 20

The Board has adopted specific principles in relation to the independence of its Directors. These state that, when determining independence, a Director must be a Non-executive and the Board should consider whether the Director: is a substantial shareholder of the Company or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly with, a substantial shareholder of the Company; is, or has been, employed in an executive capacity by the Company or any other Group entity within three years before commencing his or her service on the Board; within the last three years has been a principal of a material professional adviser or a material consultant to the Company or any other Group entity, or an employee materially associated with the service provided; is a material supplier or customer of the Company or any other Group member, or an officer of or otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer; has a material contractual relationship with the Company or a controlled entity other than as a Director of the Group; and is free from any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the Director’s independent exercise of his or her judgement. Materiality for these purposes is determined on both quantitative and qualitative bases. An amount of over five percent of annual turnover of the Company or Group or five percent of the individual Directors’ net worth is considered material for these purposes. In addition, a transaction of any amount or a relationship is deemed material if knowledge of it may impact the shareholders’ understanding of the Director’s performance. Recent thinking on corporate governance has introduced the view that a Director’s independence may be perceived to be impacted by lengthy service on the Board. To avoid any potential concerns, the Board has determined that a Director will not be deemed independent if he or she has served on the Board of the Company for more than ten years. The Board will continue to monitor developments on this issue as they arise. The Board assesses independence each year. To enable this process, the Directors must provide all information that may be relevant to the assessment. The Company’s Constitution specifies that all Non-executive Directors must retire from office no later than the third Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) following his or her last election. Where eligible, a Director may stand for re-election. 2.4 Independent Directors Details of the members of the Board, their experience, expertise, qualifications, term of office, relationships affecting their independence and their independent status are set out in each Annual Report and on the Company website. Of the current Directors, Dr Wakefield is considered by the Board to be able to fulfil the role of Independent Director for the purposes of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations. Dr Kasian and Dr Muchnicki are not considered independent due to their executive roles with the Company, and Mr Lee and Mr Rubinstein are not presently considered independent due to their 21

relationship with a current related party of the Company (Blockchain Global Limited). The Company intends to review its composition in the future as operations expand; however, the Company believes that the current Board structure is best suited to enable the Company to deliver shareholder value. 2.5 Chair and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) The Chair is responsible for leading the Board, ensuring that Directors are properly briefed in all matters relevant to their role and responsibilities, facilitating Board discussions and managing the Board’s relationship with the Company’s Senior Leadership Team. In accepting the position, the Chair acknowledges that it will require a significant time commitment and confirms that other positions will not hinder his or her effective performance in that role. The CEO is responsible for implementing Group strategies and policies. The Board Charter specifies that these are separate roles to be undertaken by separate people. The current Chairman of the Company is Dr Paul Kasian. Dr Kasian is not an independent director. The Company intends to seek out and appoint a CEO in the future as operations expand; however, the Company believes that the current Board structure is best suited to enable the Company to deliver shareholder value. 2.6 Induction The induction provided to new Directors enables them to actively participate in Board decision-making as soon as possible. It ensures that they have a full understanding of the Company’s financial position, strategies, operations, culture, values and risk management policies. The induction ensures new Directors understand the respective rights, duties, responsibilities, interaction and roles of the Board and the Senior Leadership Team and the Company’s meeting arrangements. Principle 3: Act ethically and responsibly 3.1 Code of conduct The Company has developed a statement of values and a Code of Conduct (the “Code”) which has been fully endorsed by the Board and applies to all Directors. The Code is regularly reviewed and updated as necessary to ensure it reflects the highest standards of behaviour and professionalism and the practices necessary to maintain confidence in the Group’s integrity and to take into account legal obligations and reasonable expectations of the Company’s stakeholders. In summary, the Code requires that at all times Directors and employees act with the utmost integrity, objectivity and in compliance with the letter and the spirit of the law and Company policies. The purchase and sale of Company securities by Directors and employees is governed by the Securities Trading Policy. Such trading is not permitted during the two-month periods immediately following the end of the Company’s two financial half-years, i.e. after 31 December and 30 June of each year. Any transactions undertaken by Directors outside of these periods must be notified to the Company Secretary in advance. 22

The Code requires employees who are aware of unethical practices within the Group or breaches of the Company’s Securities Trading Policy to report such breaches in compliance with the Company’s whistle-blower policy which can be done anonymously. The Directors are satisfied that the Group has complied with its policies on ethical standards, including trading in the Company’s securities. Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in financial reporting 4.1 Audit Committee The Audit Committee operates in accordance with a Charter and all members must be financially literate, considered to be independent Directors and have an appropriate understanding of the industry in which the Group operates. As at the most recent year end reporting date, being 30 June 2018 the Audit Committee consisted of Mr Peter Rubinstein (Chair of the Committee), Dr Lindsay Wakefield and Dr George Muchnicki. Mr Rubinstein and Dr Wakefield are non-executive, whilst only Dr Wakefield is considered to be independent. These members are considered by the Board to currently be the “best fit” for the committee taking into account the current Board composition. As the operations of the Company develop, the Board will reassess the composition of the Audit Committee. The main responsibilities of the Audit Committee are to: review, assess and approve the annual reports, the half-year financial reports and all other financial information published by the Company or released to the market; assist the Board in reviewing the effectiveness of the organisation’s internal control environment covering: effectiveness and efficiency of operations; o reliability of financial reporting; and o compliance with applicable laws and regulations; o oversee the effective operation of the Company’s risk management framework; recommend to the Board the appointment, removal and remuneration of the external auditors, and review the terms of their engagement, the scope and quality of the audit and assess their performance; consider the independence and competence of the external auditor on an ongoing basis; review and approve the level of non-audit services provided by the Group’s external auditors and ensure that it does not adversely impact on the auditors’ independence; review and monitor all related party transactions and assess their propriety; and report to the Board on matters relevant to the Audit Committee’s role and responsibilities. 23

In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Audit Committee: receives regular reports from management and the Company’s external auditors; meets with the external auditors at least twice a year, or more frequently if necessary, and may hold in-camera discussions with the external auditors without the presence of management; reviews the processes the CEO and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) have in place to support their annual certifications to the Board; reviews any significant disagreements between the auditors and Management, irrespective of whether they have been resolved; and provides the external auditors with a clear line of direct communication at any time to either the Chair of the Audit Committee or, if necessary, the Chair of the Board. The Audit Committee has authority, within the scope of its responsibilities, to seek any information it requires from any employee or external party. 4.2 CEO/ CFO declarations Before the Audit Committee recommends, and the Board approves, the Company’s financial statements for the half year or full year, the CEO and CFO are required to provide a declaration that, in their opinion, the financial records of the Group have been properly maintained and that the financial statements comply with the appropriate accounting standards and give a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of the entity and that the opinion has been formed on the basis of a sound system of risk management and internal control which is operating effectively. Such a declaration has been provided in respect of the 2017 full year financial statements. 4.3 External auditors The Company policy is to appoint external auditors who clearly demonstrate quality of service and independence. The performance of the external auditor is reviewed annually and applications for tender of external audit services are requested as deemed appropriate, taking into consideration assessment of performance, existing value and tender costs. PricewaterhouseCoopers (“PwC”) was appointed as the external auditor in 2009. It is PwC’s policy to rotate audit lead engagement partners on listed companies at least every five years. An analysis of fees paid to the external auditors, including a break-down of fees for non-audit services, is provided in each Annual Report both in the Directors’ Reports and in the notes to the financial statements. It is the policy of the external auditors to provide an annual declaration of their independence to the Audit Committee which is reproduced in the Company’s Annual Report. The external auditor attends the Company’s AGM and is available to answer shareholder questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the audit report. Principle 5: Make timely and balanced disclosure The Company is committed to disseminating information to shareholders in a fair, timely and cost efficient manner and has developed a continuous disclosure and shareholder 24

communication policy to ensure compliance with the ASX Listing Rules and the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation “NASDAQ” to facilitate effective communication with shareholders. This policy is disclosed on the Company website. Principle 6: Respect the rights of shareholders 6.1 Website information The Company provides ready access to its shareholders and members of the public to information about the Company and its governance on its website www.gtgcorporate.com which is regularly updated with latest information. Price sensitive information is only loaded to the website after it is duly released to the ASX and NASDAQ. 6.2 Investor relations program The Company Secretary has been nominated as the person responsible for communications with the ASX and NASDAQ. This role includes responsibility for ensuring compliance with the continuous disclosure requirements in the ASX Listing Rules and overseeing and co-ordinating information disclosure to the ASX, analysts, brokers, shareholders, the media and the public. All information disclosed to the ASX is posted on the Company’s website as soon as it is disclosed to the ASX. When analysts are briefed on aspects of the Group’s operations, any new or refreshed material used in the presentation is released to the ASX and posted on the Company’s website. Procedures have also been established for reviewing whether any price sensitive information has been inadvertently disclosed and, if so, this information is also immediately released to the market. 6.3 Participation at meetings To engage with shareholders and to encourage participation at meetings, the Board provides information to shareholders and the market in several ways: Directly releasing announcements with copies of these announcements immediately placed in the announcements section of the website. The Annual General Meeting (AGM) provides an opportunity for the shareholders to communicate with the Board through presentations on the Company’s businesses and current trading. Shareholders are encouraged to attend the AGM and to use the opportunity to ask questions on any matter. The CEO regularly meets major investors to understand their issues and concerns. No new material price sensitive information is provided at such meetings. Other Non-executive Directors or the CFO may attend such meetings if requested. The CEO reports to the Board on the matters discussed at meetings with major investors. 6.4 Electronic communication with the Company and its share registry The Company’s website also enables users to provide feedback and has an option for shareholders to register their email address for direct email updates on Company matters. 25

All shareholders are entitled to receive a hard copy of the Company’s Annual Reports which are also available for download on its website. Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk 7.1 Risk committee Given the nature and size of the Company’s operations, the Board has decided against the use of a separate risk committee. The Board is responsible for ensuring that risks and opportunities are identified on a timely basis and that the Group’s objectives and activities are aligned with those risks and opportunities. The Board believes that it is important for all Directors to be a part of this process and the Board takes ultimate responsibility for the recognition and management of risk. Oversight of the compliance and control mechanisms for risk management has been delegated to the Audit Committee through its Charter. 7.2 Risk management The Company takes a proactive approach to risk management which is managed by the senior executives under guidance provided by the Board and the Audit Committee. The Board is responsible for satisfying itself annually, or more frequently as required, that management has developed and implemented a sound system of risk management and internal control. The Board is to ensure that there are adequate policies in relation to risk management, compliance and internal control systems. Through the Audit Committee, they monitor the Company’s risk management by overseeing management’s actions in the evaluation, management, monitoring and reporting of material operational, financial, compliance and strategic risks. In providing this oversight, the Committee: reviews the framework and methodology for risk identification, the degree of risk the Company is willing to accept, the management of risk and the processes for auditing and evaluating the Company’s risk management system; reviews Company-wide objectives in the context of the above-mentioned categories of corporate risk; reviews and, where necessary, approves guidelines and policies governing the identification, assessment and management of the Company’s exposure to risk; reviews and recommends the delegations of financial authorities and addresses any need to update these authorities on an annual basis; and reviews compliance with agreed policies. The Committee recommends any actions it deems appropriate to the Board for its consideration. 26

Management is responsible for designing, implementing and reporting on the adequacy of the Company’s risk management and internal control system and has to report to the Audit Committee on the effectiveness of: the risk management and internal control system during the year; and the Company’s management of its material business risks. 7.3 Internal audit Given the size of the Company, there is no separate internal audit function. Risk assessments are carried out as required with risk mitigation strategies utilised to minimise the chance of the risks occurring and to ameliorate any negative impact. The Company furthermore engages an independent professional service provider to carry out an annual review of the Company’s internal controls on a targeted basis where risks are identified or additional assurance of controls is desirable. The results of the review are reported directly to the Audit Committee. 7.4 Sustainability risks and management The Company’s key economic, environmental and social sustainability risks are outlined in each Annual Report under the heading “Material Business Risks”. In addition to the risk assessment and management strategies previously outlined, as required the Company utilises a number of risk mitigation strategies including employing appropriately qualified staff, using external advisors, holding appropriate insurance, etc. Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly 8.1 Remuneration committee The Board has established a Remuneration Committee which is structured so that the Committee is chaired by a Non-executive Director and consists of at least three members. As at 30 June 2018, the Remuneration Committee consisted of Dr Lindsay Wakefield (Chair of the Committee), Dr Paul Kasian, and Mr Peter Rubinstein, with the majority of the committee not being independent Non-executive Directors. Dr Wakefield and Mr Rubinstein are non-executive, whilst only Dr Wakefield is considered to be independent. These members are however considered by the Board to currently be the “best fit” for the committee taking into account the current Board composition. As the operations of the Company develop, the Board will reassess the composition of the Remuneration Committee. The remuneration policy, which sets the remuneration terms and conditions for the CEO and other senior executives, is developed by the Remuneration Committee and approved by the Board. Although a member of the Remuneration Committee, the CEO is not involved in the determination of his or her own remuneration. The Remuneration Committee is empowered to investigate any matter brought to its attention and has direct access to any employee or any independent experts and advisors as it considers appropriate in order to ensure that its responsibilities can be carried out effectively. 27

8.2 Non-executive and executive remuneration Each employee signs a formal employment contract at the time of their appointment covering a range of matters including their duties, rights, responsibilities and any entitlements on termination. The standard contract refers to a specific formal job description. Job descriptions are reviewed by the CEO on a regular basis and, where necessary, is revised in consultation with the relevant employee and the Board. Information on Directors’ and Executives’ remuneration, including principles used to determine remuneration, is disclosed regularly via Annual Reports under the section “Remuneration Report”. Executive Directors and senior management may receive a mix of fixed and variable pay, comprising both cash and equity incentives. Non-executive Directors receive fees only and do not receive bonus payments or equity incentives. Non-executive Directors do not receive termination/retirement benefits, whereas executive Directors and senior management are entitled to termination payments in accordance with the terms of their contracts. 8.3 Prohibition on hedging of unvested/restricted entitlements In accordance with Company policy, participants in equity-based remuneration plans are not permitted to enter into transactions that would limit the economic risk of options or other unvested entitlements. Details in relation to this policy are contained in the securities dealing policy available on the Company website. 28
