GENETIC TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED Half-Year Financial Report DIRECTORS’ REPORT The Directors submit the financial report of Genetic Technologies Limited (“GTG” and the “Company”) and the entities it controlled for the half-year ended 31 December 2018. Directors The names of the Directors of the Company in office at the date of this Report are stated below. All Directors were in office for the entire period, except as noted below. Dr. Paul Kasian (Executive Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer) Mr. Samuel Lee (Non-Executive Director) Dr. Jerzy Muchnicki (Executive Director) Mr. Peter Rubinstein (Non-Executive Director)) Dr. Lindsay Wakefield (Non-Executive Director) Review and results of operations Financial overview The total comprehensive loss of the consolidated entity for the financial half-year ended 31 December 2018 was $3,178,161 (2017: $3,305,459). The net cash flows used in operations during the half-year were 14% higher than the previous corresponding period ($3,703,002 as compared to $3,252,947). Overall, total cash and cash equivalents for the half-year ended 31 December 2018 decreased by $2,252,395 to $3,234,640 at balance date. Strategy The Board has continued to pursue the strategic activities announced to the market at its 2018 Annual General Meeting and provides an update which includes: o Intense focus on new product development including Brevagen Version 3.0, Colorectal Cancer Risk test and other advanced product development Invitation to establish a market presence in Hainan, China with joint venture legal documentation under review Heads of Agreement outlining a joint venture framework with Beijing Zishan Health Consultancy Limited to provide regulatory and marketing support in China. Consumer initiated testing initiatives with development of a clinician inclusive website for the US market scheduled to launch with the introduction of new tests for breast cancer and colon cancer o o o New Product Development The Company has commenced development of a suite of genetic screening tests targeting both cancer and non-oncological diseases, including: enhanced version of the BREVAGenplus test which is nearing completion. The test will broaden the applicability of BREVAGenplus and enable its use by women with an extended family history of disease Colorectal Cancer Prostate Cancer Melanoma Type 2 Diabetes Cardiovascular Disease 1

GENETIC TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED Half-Year Financial Report During the half-year, the Company has also progressed discussions with major cancer organisations in the US, Australia and Southeast Asia to develop pilot-scale programs for breast and colon cancer genetic risk assessment screening. Demonstration projects with a US Health Provider are in latter stage negotiation. These organisations hold a long-term view to improve patient outcomes on a population scale through the targeted application of healthcare resources. The programs we are developing with these organisations demonstrate the growing acceptance of SNP-based risk assessment testing in both the medical and the scientific communities and highlight the clinical validity of GTG’s tests. Unlike other genetic tests on the market, GTG’s screening is clinically validated. As such, physicians in the US and other regions are authorised to recommend procedures and medications to address the needs of high-risk patients. This may include additional screening for individuals with an elevated risk of disease. Physicians can also rely on test results to clinically substantiate prescription of cancer preventative medication protocols. The new risk assessment tests represent a significant market opportunity and are designed to de-risk the Company from being reliant upon a single product and to position the Company as the leading supplier of genetic risk assessment tests across a number of diseases and in a number of Countries. Ongoing Research and Development As announced on 1 May 2018, GTG is part of a research team led by Professor John Hopper from The University of Melbourne’s Centre for Epidemiology and Biostatistics that was awarded a National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Partnership Grant. GTG’s Chief Science Officer, Dr Richard Allman is co-investigator on this research project which aims to substantially improve breast cancer risk prediction as well as patient accessibility to genetic risk screening. As the sole commercial partner in this collaboration, GTG will have the right of first refusal to commercialise any new scientific discoveries. Global Distribution Initiatives The Company is pursuing several strategic distribution partnerships to accelerate the adoption of our genetic screening tests in the US, Australia and Asia. In August 2018, the Company signed a Heads of Agreement with Beijing Zishan Health Consultancy Limited which provides a framework according to which the two parties will explore opportunities to achieve market entry, through a Joint Venture (JV), for GTG’s genomic tests (including BREVAGenPlus) into the health sector in the People’s Republic of China. The Company was subsequently invited by representatives of the Hainan Government to establish a presence in the Hainan Medical Pilot Zone (part of the Hainan Free Trade Zone Initiative). 2

GENETIC TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED Half-Year Financial Report The zone, which is central to China’s Healthy China 2030 Plan, is being established by the Chinese Government, as a high-end, medically-focused area that seeks to bring together a world class community of global companies in terms of care, physicians, treatments, technology and cutting edge medical product development. Zishan Health Consultancy is based in mainland China and will provide GTG with in-country sales and marketing expertise. Zishan will also assist with GTG’s application to the Chinese Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) and establishing the appropriate corporate structures for foreign entities entering the market via the Hainan Free Trade Zone Initiative. Our partnership with Zishan allows for the protection of GTG intellectual property and offers a path to repatrite earnings. Significant changes in the state of affairs There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs that are not described elsewhere in this Report. Significant events after balance date The following events have taken place after the balance date: Blockshine Health Joint Venture formation The Company has entered into a joint-venture known as Blockshine Health Pty. Ltd.. GTG (via its subsidiary GENE Ventures Pty. Ltd.) will own 49% of the shares in this new entity and has provided seed funding of $250,000 for operational and strategic expenses. The other joint venture partner, Blockshine Technology Corporation Pty. Ltd. will own 51% of the joint venture Company and is to provide the joint venture with a pipeline of medtech related blockchain opportunities. Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre Research Agreement GTG has entered into a 3-way Research Agreement between its subsidiary Phenogen (100% owned), Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), New York and the University of Cambridge, UK. This collaborative research study is to be led by Mark Robson, MD, Chief of the Breast Medicine Service at MSK. The study is to assess whether the provision of individual risk information informed by a polygenic risk score (PRS) reduces decisional conflict among BRCA mutation carriers considering preventive surgery. This collaborative study provides two major benefits for GTG: (i) engagement and collaboration with high profile cancer genetics researchers in the U.S.A. and Europe who are at the forefront of risk assessment research; and the resulting data has the potential to inform the design of future pipeline products for GTG (ii) Further information Further information concerning the operations and financial condition of the consolidated entity can be found in the reports and releases made by the Company to the Australian Securities Exchange during the half-year. 3

GENETIC TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED Half-Year Financial Report NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Half-year ended 31 December 2018 1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF HALF-YEAR REPORT This condensed consolidated interim financial report for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2018 has been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001. This condensed consolidated interim financial report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this Report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018 and any public announcements made by Genetic Technologies Limited during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period with the update on new accounting standards set out below. AASB 9 – Financial Instruments The group has adopted AASB 9 Financial Instruments from 1 July 2018. AASB 9 Financial Instruments addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities and introduces new rules for hedge accounting. 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 has assessed the impact of the new standard as follows: Financial Assets The group's financial assets as at the balance date are comprised of cash and cash equivalents as well as trade receivables.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 and cash equivalents, there is no material impact to the carrying value of the assets through the adoption of AASB9. 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. Currently 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. With the new standard, the amount of the allowance/impairment loss is measured upon recognition 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. Management has applied the modified retrospective adoption method and concluded there is no adjustment required to the carrying value of the trade receivables given the transition from incurred to expected loss is not material. Financial Liabilities 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, management has not elected the fair value option under the standard and have concluded there is no impact to the carrying value of financial liabilities from the adoption of AASB 9 that would require a transition adjustment. At this point in time hedge accounting impacts of the standard will not be applicable to the company. 10

GENETIC TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED Half-Year Financial Report 1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF HALF-YEAR REPORT (cont.) AASB 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers The group has adopted AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers from 1 July 2018. This standard replaces AASB 118, which covers contracts for goods and services, and AASB 111, which covers construction contracts. The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service transfers to a customer – so the notion of control replaces the existing notion of risks and rewards. First, contracts with customers within the scope of IFRS 15 are identified. Distinct promises within the contract are identified as performance obligations. The transaction price of the contract is measured based on the amount of consideration the Group expects to be entitled from the customer in exchange for goods or services. Factors such as requirements around variable consideration, significant financing components, noncash consideration, or amounts payable to customers also determine the transaction price. The transaction is then allocated to separate performance obligations in the contract based on relative standalone selling prices. Revenue is recognised when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied, which is when control of the promised good or service is transferred to the customer. The Group has adopted 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. Management have assessed the impact of applying the new revenue standard on the financial statements, as it relates to the BREVAGENplus product - the Group’s sole revenue stream, they concluded no cumulative impact of the adoption of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers on July 1, 2018. Revenues associated with the BREVAGen tests will continue to be recognised at a point in time, being once the performance obligation of providing a customers test results has been met. 2. 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. Going concern For the half year ending 31 December 2018, the Group incurred a total comprehensive loss of $3,178,161 (2017: $3,305,459) and net cash outflow from operations of $3,703,002 (2017: $3,252,947). As at 31 December 2018 the Group held total cash and cash equivalents of $3,234,640. During the remainder of the 2019 financial year, the Directors expect stable cash outflows from operations as the Company continues to invest resources in expanding the research & development activities in support of the distribution of existing products and upon the expected announcement of the launch new genetic testing products. As a result of these expected cash outflows, the Directors intend to raise new equity funding in order to ensure the Company continues to hold adequate levels of available cash resources to meet creditors and other commitments. The Group expects to receive a substantial research and development tax incentive claim from the Australian Taxation Office in respect of the 2018 financial year. The Group expects to also receive a further claim in respect of the current 2018/19 research and development period during the next 12 months. The Company maintains its 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 approved a Supplementary Prospectus, expiring 19 May 2019, subsequent to 31 December 2018 to facilitate raising via the equity placement facility. Although the Company 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. 11

GENETIC TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED Half-Year Financial Report 2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (cont.) 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 in the next six months, 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 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. 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. The estimation of the useful lives of assets has been based on historical experience as well as lease terms (for leased equipment) and patent terms (for patents). In addition, the condition of the assets is assessed at least annually and considered against the remaining useful life and adjustments to useful lives are made when considered necessary. 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 determined the fair value by engaging an independent valuer using a Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo simulation options pricing model.

Independent auditor's review report to the members of Genetic Technologies Limited Report on the Half-Year Financial Report We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Genetic Technologies Limited (the Company), which comprises the condensed consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2018, the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, selected other explanatory notes and the directors' declaration for Genetic Technologies Limited. The Group comprises the Company and the entities it controlled during that half year. Directors' responsibility for the half-year financial report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error. Auditor's responsibility Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Australian Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2018 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of Genetic Technologies Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report. A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. Independence In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. Conclusion Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Genetic Technologies Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: 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.

1. giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2018 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; 2. complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting, the Corporations Regulations 2001. Material uncertainty related to going concern We draw attention to Note 2 in the half-year financial report, which indicates that during the period ended 31 December 2018, the Group incurred a total comprehensive loss of $3,178,161 and net cash outflow from operations of $3,703,002. The continuing viability of the Group is dependent on the satisfactory completion of the planned equity raisings in the specified time frame. These conditions, along with other matters set forth in Note 2, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter. PricewaterhouseCoopers Jon Roberts Partner Melbourne 27 February 2019
