GENUS PLC 
 
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED SET OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 
For the six months ended 31 December 2016 
 
1.         Basis of preparation 
 
The unaudited Condensed Set of Financial Statements for the six months ended 31 December 2016: 
 
·        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 Genus
plc Annual Report 2016; 
 
·        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 2017. 
 
The information relating to the year ended 30 June 2016 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 2016 has not been reviewed by our
Auditor. 
 
The Genus plc Annual Report 2016 (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 2016, which are
available on the Group's website www.genusplc.com, except as described below. 
 
New standards and interpretations 
 
The following new standards and interpretation have been adopted in the current period: 
 
·     Amendments to IFRS 11 'Accounting for acquisitions of interests in Joint ventures', IAS 27 'Equity method in separate
financial statements', IAS 1 'Disclosure Initiatives'; 
 
·     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'; and 
 
·     'Annual Improvements to IFRS 2012 - 2014 cycle'. 
 
There has been no significant impact on the results or disclosures for the current period from the adoption of these new
standards and interpretations. 
 
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): 
 
·     'Annual improvement 2014-2016 cycle'; 
 
·     IFRIC 22 'Foreign currency transaction and advance consideration'; 
 
·     IAS 7 (amendments) 'Disclosure Initiative'; 
 
·     IAS 12 'Recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealised losses'; 
 
·     IFRS 2 (amendments) 'Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions'; 
 
·     IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments'; 
 
·     IFRS 10 and IAS 28 (amendments) 'Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint
venture'; 
 
·     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.

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill arising on consolidation, are translated into Sterling
at the prevailing exchange rates at the balance sheet date. We translate these operations' revenues and expenses using an
average rate for the period. 
 
4.         Segmental information 
 
IFRS 8 'Operating Segments' requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components
of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the Group Chief Executive and the Board to allocate resources to the segments
and to assess their performance. 
 
For management purposes effective 1 July 2016, the Group's operating and reporting structure now comprises three operating
segments; Genus PIC, Genus ABS and Research and Development.  These segments are the basis on which the Group reports its
segmental information. The principal activities of each segment are as follows: 
 
· Genus PIC - our global porcine sales business; 
 
· Genus ABS - our global bovine sales business; and 
 
· Research and Development - our global spend on research and development. 
 
A segment analysis of revenue, operating profit and segment assets and liabilities are detailed below. We do not include
our adjusting items in the segments as we believe these do not reflect the underlying progress of the segments. The
accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Group's accounting policies as described in the
financial statements. 
 
Our business is not highly seasonal and our customer base is diversified, with no individual customer generating more than
2% of revenue.

The taxation charge for the period is based on the estimated effective tax rate on adjusted profits for the full year of
25.9% (2015: 26.5%). 
 
The tax charge for the period on statutory profit of £2.6m (2015: £1.9m) represents a statutory tax rate of 22.8% (2015:
14.7%).  The statutory tax rate for the period benefits from a 2.8% rate reduction from lower statutory profits primarily
in the USA, including reductions in the fair value of biological assets (including joint ventures), amortisation of
intangibles and exceptional legal costs on which tax relief is available at an average rate of 28% (2015: decrease in
statutory tax rate of 10.7% due to net statutory losses on movements in biological assets (including joint ventures),
intangible assets and exceptional items taxed at 40%). 
 
There is a deferred tax liability at the period end of £132.5m (2015: £108.0m) which mainly relates to the recognition at
fair value of biological assets and intangible assets arising on acquisition and a deferred tax asset of £5.5m (2015:
£8.5m) which mainly relates to future tax deductions in respect of pension scheme liabilities, share scheme awards and
financial instruments.
