GENUS PLC 
 
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED SET OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 
For the six months ended 31 December 2015 
 
1.         Basis of preparation 
 
The unaudited Condensed Set of Financial Statements for the six months ended 31 December 2015: 
 
·        were prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' ('IAS 34') and
thereby International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRSs'), both as issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board ('IASB') and as adopted by the European Union ('EU'); 
 
·        are presented on a condensed basis as permitted by IAS 34 and therefore do not include all disclosures that would
otherwise be required in a full set of financial statements; these should be read, therefore, in conjunction with the 2015
Annual Report; 
 
·        includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the
results for the periods presented; 
 
·        do not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section 435 of the Companies Act 2006; and 
 
·        were approved by the Board of Directors on 22 February 2016. 
 
The information relating to the year ended 30 June 2015 is an extract from the published financial statements for that
year, which have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's report on those financial statements was not
qualified and did not contain statements under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006. 
 
The unaudited Condensed Set of Financial Statements for the six months ended 31 December 2015 has not been reviewed by our
Auditor. 
 
The Genus plc Annual Report 2015 (a copy of which is available on the Genus plc website at www.genusplc.com) sets out on
pages 18-19 a number of risks and uncertainties that might impact upon the performance of the Group. There has been no
material change to the principal risks that might affect the performance of the Group in the current financial year. Having
considered these risks and uncertainties, and in the current economic environment, the Directors have a reasonable
expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
Therefore they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the half-yearly report and the Condensed Set of
Financial Statements. 
 
The preparation of the Condensed Set of Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance
sheet date, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could vary from these
estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are
recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of
revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. 
 
2.         Accounting policies and non-GAAP measures 
 
The same accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation are followed in the Condensed Set of Financial
Statements as applied in the Group's latest annual audited financial statements, dated 7 September 2015, which are
available on the Group's website www.genusplc.com, except as described below. 
 
New standards and interpretations 
 
No new standards and interpretations have been adopted in the current period. 
 
At the date of the interim report, the following standards and interpretations which have not been applied in the report
were in issue but not yet effective (and in some cases had not yet been adopted by the EU): 
 
·     Amendments to IFRS 11 'Accounting for acquisitions of interests in Joint ventures', IAS 27 'Equity method in separate
financial statements', IAS 1 'Disclosure Initiatives', IAS 12 'Recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealised losses'; 
 
·     Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28 'Investment entities: Applying the consolidation exception'; 
 
·     Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38 'Clarification of acceptable method of depreciation and amortisation'; 
 
·     'Improvements to IFRS 2012 - 2014 cycle'; 
 
·     IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments'; 
 
·     IFRS 14 'Regulatory Deferral Response'; 
 
·     IFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers'; and 
 
·     IFRS 16 'Leases'. 
 
The Group is currently assessing the impact of the new pronouncements on its results, financial position and cash flows. 
 
Non-GAAP measures - adjusted operating profit, adjusted profit before tax and adjusted earnings per share 
 
Adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating profit before tax from continuing operations and adjusted earnings per share
exclude the net valuation movement on biological assets and related financial derivative, amortisation of acquired
intangible assets, share-based payment expense, exceptional items and other gains and losses. 
 
We believe these non-GAAP measures provide shareholders with useful information about the Group's trading performance. The
reconciliation between operating profit from continuing operations and adjusted operating profit from continuing operations
is shown on the face of the Condensed Consolidated Income Statement.

4.         Segmental information 
 
The Group presents its segmental information on the basis that the chief operating decision maker regularly reviews for

The taxation charge for the period is based on the estimated effective tax rate on adjusted profits for the full year of
26.5% (2014: 27.1%). 
 
The tax charge for the period on statutory profit of £1.9m (2014: £8.6m) represents a statutory tax rate of 14.7% (2014:
30.1%).  The statutory tax rate for the period benefits from a 9.4% rate reduction from lower statutory profits primarily
in the USA, including reductions in the fair value of biological assets, amortisation of intangibles and exceptional legal
costs on which tax relief is available at an average rate of 32% (2014: increase in statutory tax rate of 7.5% due to net
statutory profits on movements in biological assets, intangible assets and exceptional items taxed substantially at US
rate). 
 
There is a deferred tax liability at the period end of £108.0m (2014: £104.3m) which mainly relates to the recognition at
fair value of biological assets and intangible assets arising on acquisition and a deferred tax asset of £8.5m (2014:
£9.7m) which mainly relates to future tax deductions in respect of pension scheme liabilities, share scheme awards and
financial instruments.
