SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Basis of preparation (i) Compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board The general purpose financial statements of Genetic Technologies Limited and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and Australian equivalent International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board. Genetic Technologies Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. (ii) 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. (iii) 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 Company’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. (iv) Going concern For the year ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred a total comprehensive loss of $ 7,103,134 (2021: $ 7,115,087 ) and net cash outflow from operations of $ 5,659,456 (2021: $ 6,295,929 ). As at June 30, 2022, the Company held total cash and cash equivalents of $ 11,731,325 and total net current assets of $ 10,905,081 . The Company expects to continue to incur losses and cash outflows for the foreseeable future as it continues to invest resources in expanding the research and development activities in support of the distribution of existing and new products. The Company has $ 11,731,325 (v) Comparative figures Certain comparative figures within the consolidated statement of profit or loss and comprehensive income have been reclassified to conform with the current year’s presentation. The current presentation is in line with the Company management’s monthly reporting of the Group’s results and performance presented to the Board of Directors.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.) (a) Basis of preparation (cont.) (v) Comparative figures (cont.) Representative warrants (prior period corrections) Genetic Technologies Limited raised capital in April 2020 and May 2020, and representative warrants were included as part of these public offerings. These representative warrants had been accounted for as a financial liability and was subsequently adjusted to fair value at each subsequent reporting date. The Company determined that these representative warrants originally classified as a financial liability should have been accounted for as an equity-settled share-based payment in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2020. The Company assessed the effects of this correction based on both quantitative and qualitative factors and determined that the correction was not material. Accordingly, the Company corrected the errors as of and for the year ended June 30, 2020 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related footnotes. The below tables summarise the adjustments that were made to correct the immaterial errors for the periods presented.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.) (a) Basis of preparation (cont.) (vi) New standards and interpretations The Group has applied the following standards and amendments for the first time for their annual reporting period commencing 1 July 2021: ● Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 2 ● COVID-19 Relates Rent Concessions The amendments listed above did not have any impact on the amounts recognised in prior periods and are not expected to significantly affect the current or future periods. (vii) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted. There are no standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the Company in the current or future reporting years and on foreseeable future transactions. (b) Principles of consolidation (i) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Company has control. The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the Company and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the Company. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Company. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company. (c) Segment reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The acquisition of EasyDNA has resulted in a change in how the Company reports segment information as compared to the prior year. The prior period presentation of segment information has been recast to conform with the current segment reporting structure. (d) Foreign currency translation (i) Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollar ($), which is Genetic Technologies Limited’s functional and presentation currency. (ii) Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognised in profit or loss. All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss on a net basis, within other expenses or other income, respectively. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont.) 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.) (d) Foreign currency translation (cont.) (ii) Transactions and balances (cont.) Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. For example, translation differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss and translation differences on non-monetary assets such as equities classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised in other comprehensive income. (iii) Group companies The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: ● assets and liabilities for each consolidated balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that consolidated balance sheet; ● income and expenses for each consolidated statement of profit or loss and consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (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); and ● all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale. (e) Revenue recognition Under IFRS 15, revenue is recognised based on contract with customers when performance obligations were satisfied. The following recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: Genetic testing revenues Revenues from the provision of genetic and clinical risk testing for cancer and other serious diseases under the geneType brand are recognised at a point time when the Company has provided the customer with their test results, the single performance obligation. Revenue from provision of genetic test direct to consumer under the EasyDNA brand is recognised at a point in time when the Company has provided the customer with their test results, the single performance obligation. No discounts are provided for genetic testing revenues and payments are made upfront when the test is ordered. Any unsatisfied performance obligations are recognised as deferred income. Revenue from services - license fees Revenue from contracts with service providers is recognised when the contracted sales parameters are met, the single performance obligation. Revenue is recognised over time based on the higher of actual sales incurred or minimum fees requirement on a quarterly basis. Variable consideration in relation to licence payments were constrained during the year. No discounts are provided for revenue from services. Deferred income The Group recognises contract liabilities for consideration received in respect of unsatisfied performance obligations and reports these amounts as deferred income in its consolidated statement of financial position. Similarly, if the Group satisfies a performance obligation before it receives the consideration, the Group recognises either a contract asset or a receivable in its consolidated statement of financial position, depending on whether something other than the passage of time is required before the consideration is due. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont.) 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.) (f) Other income (i) Research and development tax incentive income The Australian government replaced the research and development tax concession with research and development (R&D) tax incentive from July 1, 2011. The R&D tax incentive applies to expenditure incurred and the use of depreciating assets in an income year commencing on or after July 1, 2011. A refundable tax offset is available to eligible companies with an annual aggregate turnover of less than $ 20 20 18.5 Management has assessed the Company’s activities and expenditure to determine which are likely to be eligible under the incentive scheme. The Company 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. (ii) Government Grants Income from government grants is recognised in the consolidated income statement on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognises as expense the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate in accordance with IAS 20 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance. The receivable for reimbursable amounts that have not been collected is reflected in trade and other receivables on our consolidated balance sheets. (g) Finance income and finance costs The Group’s finance income and finance costs include interest income and interest expenses. Interest income or expense is recognised using the effective interest method. (h) Income tax The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to 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 and its subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. 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, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also 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 end of the reporting period 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 only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont.) 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.) (i) Leases For any new contracts entered into on or after July 1, 2019, the Group considers whether a contract is, or contains a lease. A lease is defined as ‘a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an asset (the underlying asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration’. To apply this definition the Company assesses whether the contract meets three key evaluations which are whether: ● the contract contains an identified asset, which is either explicitly identified in the contract or implicitly specified by being identified at the time the asset is made available to the Group, ● the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset throughout the period of use, considering its rights within the defined scope of the contract, ● the Company has the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use. The Company assess whether it has the right to direct ‘how and for what purpose’ the asset is used throughout the period of use. Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments: ● fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable, ● amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees, ● the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and ● payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be determined, or the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following: ● the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability, ● any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received, ● any initial direct costs, and ● restoration costs. Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets and short-term leases, including IT equipment. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont.) 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.) (j) Impairment of assets Non financial asset 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 group 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. Cash generating unit is the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs. 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 as a separate line in the statement of profit or loss 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. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. Financial asset The Group records the impairment losses for financial assets as lifetime expected credit losses. These are the expected shortfalls in contractual cash flows, considering the potential for default at any point during the life of the financial instrument. In calculating, the Group uses its historical experience, external indicators and forward-looking information to calculate the expected credit losses using a provision matrix. (k) Cash and cash equivalen For the purpose of presentation in the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. (l) Trade and other receivables Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less loss allowance. Refer Note 31 for details of management of interest rate, foreign exchange and liquidity risks applicable to trade and other payables for which, due to their short-term nature, their carrying value approximates their fair value. (m) Inventories (i) Raw materials and stores, work in progress and finished goods Raw materials and stores, work in progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average costs. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont.) 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.) (n) Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives or, in the case of leasehold improvements and certain leased plant and equipment, the shorter lease term as follows: SCHEDULE OF ESTIMATED USEFUL LIFE Plant and equipment 3 5 Furniture, fittings and equipment 3 5 Leasehold improvements 1 3 Leased plant and equipment 3 The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (note 2(j)). Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, it is Company policy to transfer any amounts included in other reserves in respect of those assets to retained earnings. (o) Intangible assets and goodwill (i) Goodwill Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business combination. Goodwill is calculated as the excess sum of: ● the consideration transferred; ● any non-controlling interest; and ● the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest; over the acquisition date fair value of net identifiable assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are taken to profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed. Goodwill is allocated to the Group’s cash-generating units representing the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored. (ii) Brand name and customer contracts Brand, trademark, trade names and domain names acquired in a business combination that qualify for separate recognition are recognised as intangible assets at their fair values. Brand, trademark, trade names and domain names are amortised on a straight-lined basis over their estimated useful lives of 5 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont.) 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.) (p) Trade and other payables Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Company 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. (q) Provisions Provisions for legal claims, service warranties and make good obligations are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small. Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the r |
