FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This annual report includes "forward-looking statements." All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this annual report that address activities, events or developments, which we expect or anticipate, will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements.

The words "believe", "intend", "expect", "anticipate", "project", "estimate", "predict" and similar expressions are also intended to identify forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements address, among others, such issues as:

- Future earnings and cash flow, - future plans and capital expenditures, - expansion and other development trends of the resource sector.

- Expansion and growth of our business and operations, and

- Our prospective operational and financial information.

These statements are based on assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate in particular circumstances. However, whether actual results and developments will meet our expectations and predictions depends on a number of risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, including the risks set forth in "Item 3-Key Information-Risk Factors" and the following:

-	Fluctuations in prices of our products and services,

-	Potential acquisitions and other business opportunities,

-	General economic, market and business conditions, and

-	Other risks and factors beyond our control.

Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this annual report are qualified by these cautionary statements. We cannot assure you that the actual results or developments anticipated by us will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected effect on us or our business or operations.

Unless the context indicates otherwise:

(a)	the terms "Bontan Corporation Inc." the "Company”,"Bontan", “we”, “us”, “our” are used interchangeably in this Annual Report and mean Bontan Corporation Inc. and its subsidiaries.

(b)

our reference to “Israeli project” in this report refers to our 4.70% indirect working interest in two offshore drilling licenses in Israel – petroleum license 347 (‘Myra”) and 348 (“sara”) covering approximately 198,000 acres, 40 kilometres off the West coast of Israel. This interest is derived from our holding of 76.79% equity in IPC Cayman which holds approximately 90% of the share capital of IPC Oil and Gas Holdings Ltd (“Shaldieli’), an Israeli public company whose equity was acquired by IPC Cayman in a reverse takeover . Shaldieli now holds 50% partnership share in IPC Israel, which is the registered holder of 13.609% interest in the two licenses.

(c)	The term “IPC Cayman” refers to Israel Petroleum Company, LLC , a company incorporated in Grand Caymans in which we hold 76.79% equity.

(d)	The term “IPC Israel” refers to IPC Oil & Gas (Israel) Limited Partnership, a limited partnership registered in Israel in which Shaldieli holds 50% partnership interest.

FOREIGN PRIVATE ISSUER STATUS AND REPORTING CURRENCY

Foreign Private Issuer Status:

Bontan Corporation Inc. is a Canadian corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario. Approximately 69% of its common stock was held by non-United States citizens and residents as of September 30, 2011 being its latest second quarter end. Further, our business is administered principally outside the United States and all our assets are located outside the United States; As a result, we believe that we qualify as a "foreign private issuer" for continuing to report regarding the registration of our common stock using this Form 20-F annual report format.

Currency

The financial information presented in this Annual Report is expressed in Canadian dollars ("CDN $") and the financial data in this Annual Report is presented in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)

ITEM 3 – KEY INFORMATION

(A) SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

This Report includes consolidated financial statements of the Company for the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. These financial statements were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS applicable to the preparation of financial statements, including IFRS 1 (First-time Adoption of IFRS).

Note 20 of the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year 2012 discloses the impact of the transition to IFRS on the Company‘s reported financial position, financial performance and cash flows, including the nature and effect of significant changes in accounting policies from those used in the Company‘s consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2011. Previously, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“previous GAAP”).

The following is a selected financial data for the Company for each of the last five fiscal years 2008 through 2012 on a consolidated basis. The data is extracted from the audited financial statements of the Company for each of the said years.

(D) RISK FACTORS

The following is a brief discussion of those distinctive or special characteristics of the Company’s operations and industry that may have a material impact on, or constitute risk factors in respect of, the Company’s future financial performance.

Risks Related to our Business

We have a history of operating losses and may never achieve profitability in the future.

We have not generated any income since fiscal 2010 and have losses for the fiscal year 2012 in the amount of approximately $ 2.5 million and accumulated deficit of approximately $43.5 million. We do not have any proven reserves or current production of oil or gas. We have sold our interest in the Israeli Project. Our success is substantially dependent upon on the successful exploration, drilling and development of new projects. We cannot assure you that we will be profitable in the future.

Our consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2012 have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to access sufficient capital to complete exploration and development activities, identify commercial oil and gas reserves and ultimately achieve profitable operations These financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications that would be necessary if we were unable to realize our assets and settle our liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations. Such adjustments could be material.

We cannot control activities on properties or drilling locations that we do not operate and are unable to control their proper operation and profitability.

We do not operate any of the properties in which we own an Overriding royalty interest in the properties. As a result, we have limited ability to exercise influence over, and control the risks associated with, the operations of these properties. The failure of an operator of our wells to adequately perform operations, an operator’s breach of the applicable agreements or an operator’s failure to act in ways that are in our best interests could adversely affect us from realizing our target returns for those properties. The success and timing of exploration and development activities on properties operated by others therefore will depend upon a number of factors outside of our control, including:

	•	the nature and timing of drilling and operational activities;
	•	the timing and amount of capital expenditures;
	•	the operator’s expertise and financial resources;
	•	the approval of other participants in drilling wells; and
	•	the operator’s selection of suitable technology.

We face significant competition and many of our competitors have resources in excess of our available resources.

The oil and natural gas industry is highly competitive. We face intense competition from a large number of independent, technology-driven companies as well as both major and other independent crude oil and natural gas companies in a number of areas such as:

	·	seeking to acquire desirable producing properties or new leases for future exploration;
	·	marketing our crude oil and natural gas production;

	·	seeking to acquire the equipment and expertise necessary to operate and develop properties; and
	·	attracting and retaining employees with certain skills.

Many of our competitors have financial, technical and other resources substantially in excess of those available to us. This highly competitive environment could have an adverse impact on our business.

Risks of Oil and Natural Gas Investments

Oil and natural gas investments are highly risky .

The selection of prospects for oil and natural gas drilling, the drilling, ownership and operation of oil and natural gas wells and the ownership of non-operating interests in oil and natural gas properties are highly speculative. There is a possibility you will lose all or substantially all of your investment in us. We cannot predict whether any prospect will produce oil or natural gas or commercial quantities of oil and natural gas, nor can we predict the amount of time it will take to recover any oil or natural gas we do produce. Drilling activities may be unprofitable, not only from non-productive wells but also from wells that do not produce oil or natural gas in sufficient quantities or quality to return a profit.

Oil and natural gas prices are volatile and a reduction in these prices could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

The price we may receive for oil or natural gas production from wells, in which we have an interest, will significantly affect our revenue, cash flow, access to capital and future growth. Historically, the markets for oil and natural gas have been volatile and are likely to continue to be volatile in the future. The markets and prices for oil and natural gas depend on numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include:

	·	changes in supply and demand for oil and natural gas;
	·	actions taken by foreign oil and gas producing nations;
	·	political conditions and events (including political instability or armed conflict) in oil or natural gas producing regions;
	·	the level of global oil and natural gas inventories and oil refining capacity;
	·	the price and level of imports of foreign oil and natural gas;
	·	the price and availability of alternative fuels;
	·	the availability of pipeline capacity and infrastructure;
	·	the availability of oil transportation and refining capacity;
	·	weather conditions;
	·	speculation as to future prices of oil and natural gas and speculative trading of oil or natural gas futures contracts;
	·	domestic and foreign governmental regulations and taxes; and
	·	global economic conditions.

A significant or extended decline in oil and natural gas prices may have a material adverse effect on the potential revenue expected from the settlement agreement signed in June 2012 in connection with the sale of our indirect interest in the Israeli Project.

We will be subject to various governmental regulations which may substantially reduce the benefit from the settlement agreement

Political developments and laws and regulations will affect the offshore Israel project. In particular, price controls, taxes and other laws relating to the oil and natural gas industry, changes in these laws and changes in administrative regulations have affected and in the future could affect oil and natural gas production, operations and economics. We cannot predict how agencies or courts in the State of Israel will interpret existing laws and regulations or the effect these adoptions and interpretations may have on our business or financial condition.

Risks Related to Ownership of our Stock

There is currently a limited trading market for our common shares.

There currently is a limited public market for our common shares. Further, although our common shares are currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, trading of our common shares may be extremely sporadic. As a result, an investor may find it difficult to sell, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our common shares. There can be no assurance that a more active trading market for our common shares will develop. Accordingly, investors must assume they may have to bear the economic risk of an investment in our common shares for an indefinite period of time.

Risks related to penny stocks.

Our common shares are subject to regulations prescribed by the SEC relating to “penny stock.” These regulations impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (as defined in Rule 501 of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933). These regulations could adversely impact market demand for our shares and adversely impact our trading volume and price.

The issuance of common shares upon the exercise of our outstanding warrants and options will dilute the ownership interest of existing stockholders and increase the number of shares eligible for future resale.

The exercise of some or all of our outstanding warrants and options could significantly dilute the ownership interests of our existing shareholders. As of March 31, 2012, we had outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of approximately 68 million common shares and outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of approximately 5.3 million common shares. To the extent the warrants and options are exercised, additional common shares will be issued and that issuance will increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. The sale of a significant number of shares by our shareholders, or the perception that such sales could occur, could have a depressive effect on the public market price of our common shares.

Compliance with the rules established by the SEC pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are complex. Failure to comply in a timely manner could adversely affect investor confidence and our stock price.

Rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 require us to perform an annual assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting and certify the effectiveness of those controls. The standards that must be met for management to assess the internal controls over financial reporting as now in effect are complex, and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards. We may encounter problems or delays in completing activities necessary to make an assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting. If we cannot perform the assessment or certify that our internal controls over financial reporting are effective, investor confidence and share value may be negatively impacted.

Your investment return may be reduced if we lose our foreign private issuer status .

We are a “foreign private issuer,” as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, and, therefore, we are not required to file quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K with the SEC. In addition, the proxy rules and Section 16 reporting and short-swing profit recapture rules are not applicable to us. If we lose our status as a foreign private issuer by our election or otherwise, we will be subject to additional reporting obligations under the Exchange Act which could increase our SEC compliance costs.

We may be treated as a passive foreign investment company for U.S. tax purposes, which could subject United States investors to significant adverse tax consequences .

A foreign corporation will be treated as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for U.S. federal income taxation purposes, if in any taxable year either: (a) 75% or more of its gross income consists of passive income; or (b) 50% or more of the value of the company’s assets is attributable to assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income. Based on our current income and assets and our anticipated future operations, we believe that we currently are not a PFIC. U.S. stockholders of a PFIC are subject to a disadvantageous U.S. income tax regime with respect to the income derived by the PFIC, the distributions they receive from the PFIC, and the gain, if any, they derive from the sale or other disposition of their shares in the PFIC. Because PFIC status is a fact-intensive determination made on an annual basis, no assurance can be given that we are not or will not become classified as a PFIC. The PFIC rules are extremely complex. A U.S. person is encouraged to consult his or her U.S. tax advisor before making an investment in our shares.

U.S. shareholders may not be able to enforce civil liabilities against us .

We are a corporation organized under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada. Most of our directors and executive officers are non-residents of the United States. Because a substantial portion of their assets and currently all of our assets are located outside the United States, it may not be possible for you to effect service of process within the United States upon us or those persons. Furthermore, it may not be possible for you to enforce against us or them in the United States, judgments obtained in U.S. courts based upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or other laws of the United States. There is doubt as to the enforceability, in original actions in Canadian courts, of liabilities based upon the U.S. federal securities laws and as to the enforceability in Canadian courts of judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions based upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws.

ITEM 4 – INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

(A) HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY

We are a Canadian corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario in 1973 under the original name of Kamlo Gold Mines Limited. We were inactive until 1985. Between 1986 and 1992, our company was involved in the development of a new technology for the marine propulsion business. During this period, our company went through three name changes.

Between 1993 and 1996, our company was involved in the distribution and manufacture of a snack food. During this period, our company went through two more name changes.

Our company remained inactive after the closure of the snack food business in November 1996 until December 1998 when we changed our name to Dealcheck.com Inc. and agreed on a new business strategy. This strategy focused on investing in new and emerging technology oriented projects and businesses. In 1999, our company raised $3.2 million, which we invested in various projects and companies over the next two years as per the new business strategy of our company. Unfortunately, the IT sector performed poorly since 2001 and new and emerging technology-based businesses suffered significant losses, financial problems and bankruptcies. These factors adversely affected our company’s investments and its profitability. Our company had to write off all its investments by the end of the fiscal 2003.

In April 2003, our company changed its business focus to the natural resource industry and completed a private placement of approximately 8.9 million common shares, raising approximately USD $3.1 million. These funds were primarily invested in projects involving oil and gas exploration and diamond mining projects in Brazil between April 2003 and September 2005.

Diamond mining operations discontinued in December 2004. Our company sold its interest in an oil exploration project in Papua New Guinea in July 2005 for USD $3.2 million. Our company’s cost of this project was approximately USD $1.6 million. Further, in October 2004, our company acquired a working interest in a gas exploration project in Louisiana, USA. Between March 2005 and September 2005, our company invested approximately $3.9 million as its share of exploration costs. The exploration, however, proved a dry well and was therefore abandoned and the costs incurred were fully written off in December 2005.

Since 2006, our company has been actively pursuing oil and gas exploration and development projects We found many projects to be too expensive while others did not meet our technical due diligence. In the fiscal 2010, we acquired indirect working interest, which, as at March 31, 2012, was 4.70% in two drilling licenses in the Levantine Basin, approximately 40 kilometers off the west coast of Israel. The two drilling licenses, Petroleum License 347 (“Mira”) and Petroleum License 348 (“Sarah”), cover approximately 198,000 acres of submerged land.

We sold our above interest in a settlement agreement with our minority partner, as revised on June 29, 2012 and now holds only an Overriding royalty interest of 0.25% in the two Israeli licenses. Details of the settlement are provided below under section B.

Our company’s registered office is situated at 47 Avenue Road, Suite 200 Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5R 2G3. We are a reporting issuer in the province of Ontario.

(B) BUSINESS OVERVIEW

We invest in the exploration and development of oil and gas wells. We focus on partnering with established developers and operators. We have never had any oil and gas operations and do not currently own any oil and gas properties with proven reserves. We have recently sold our interest in the offshore Israel project and are now seeking to acquire additional property interests in any other region or to pursue other business opportunities.

On October 15, 2009, International Three Crown Petroleum LLC (or ITC) entered into an option agreement with PetroMed Corporation under which ITC was granted the right to purchase all of PetroMed Corporation’s rights in the Myra and Sara licenses and the Benjamin permit. On November 18, 2009, the right to purchase was exercised, and as part of the closing, PetroMed Corporation was paid the contractual consideration and PetroMed Corporation provided IPC Cayman, ITC’s designee, with irrevocable deeds of assignment with respect to each of the licenses and permit.

However, between January 2010 and February 2010, legal disputes took place with PetroMed Corporation, and in light of the dispute as to ownership of the Myra and Sara drilling licenses and the Benjamin exploration permit, the Petroleum Commissioner had declined to transfer the licenses and permit to IPC Cayman and had indicated to IPC Cayman that he would be terminating the permit and possibly the licenses.

Separately, because Western Geco International had not been paid its $12.5 million in full, it refused to turn over the seismic data and its interpretation to IPC Cayman. Failure to deliver the seismic data and its interpretation to the Petroleum Commissioner would be a default under the permit and licenses that could lead to their termination by the Petroleum Commissioner.

To settle the disputes and to ensure that the future of the offshore Israel project was not jeopardized, we and IPC Cayman accepted an offer from two Israeli investors with significant financial and local influence to join the project as major partners.

On March 25, 2010, ITC, IPC Cayman, PetroMed Corporation, Emanuelle Energy Ltd., IDB-DT Energy (2010) Ltd. and others entered into an Allocation of Rights and Settlement Agreement. This agreement provided for, among other things, the dismissal of certain lawsuits and mutual release of claims among the parties; and a new allocation of working interests in the offshore Israel project as follows: 14.325% to IPC Cayman; 27.15% to IDB-DT Energy (2010) Ltd.; and 54.025% to Emanuelle Energy Ltd.;

On May 19, 2010, Geoglobal Resources (India) Inc. was appointed operator for the Myra and Sara licenses.

On May 20, 2010, the joint venture partners submitted an application to the Israeli Petroleum Commissioner to approve the transfer and registration of the rights in the Myra and Sara licenses. The approval was granted on June 16, 2010.

On October 13, 2010, IPC Cayman and IPC Partnership signed a Partnership Subscription and Contribution Agreement with Ofer. Under the agreement, Ofer agreed to contribute up to US$ 28 million towards IPC Partnership’s share of the cost of drilling of the initial two exploratory wells under the Sara and Myra licenses and related exploration costs in exchange for a 50% limited partnership interest in IPC Partnership.

On October 25, 2010, IPC Cayman entered into an agreement with Shaldieli Ltd., an Israeli shell public company (“Shaldieli”), for IPC Cayman to acquire 90% of Shaldeili’s common equity in exchange for IPC Cayman’s 50% interest in IPC Partnership. This was objected by us and resulted in various legal actions in Israel and Cayman Island.

On November 8, 2011, IPC Cayman merged its interest in IPC Israel, in a reverse take-over transaction, into Shaldieli in exchange for approximately 144.8 million shares of Shaldieli, representing approximately 90% of the share capital of Shaldieli.

The Company’s beneficial share, through its ownership of 76.79% equity of IPC Cayman, in the allotted Shaldieli shares worked out to approximately 111.2 million shares of Shaldieli Inc. or approximately 69% of Shaldieli share capital. Shaldieli now holds 50% of the equity in IPC Israel which, in turn, holds a 13.6090% working interest in the two licences – Sarah and Myra – under the offshore Israeli Project.

Thus, the Company’s indirect working interest in the Israeli project worked out to 4.70%. This is subject to change as Shaldieli dilutes its share capital by issuing new shares to raise additional funds.

On December 16, 2011, the Company signed a settlement agreement (“Settlement agreement”) with IPC Cayman, International Three Crown Petroleum LLC (“ITCP”), Three Crown Petroleum LLC (“TCP”) and Mr. Howard Cooper (“IPC Parties”). The Company agreed to transfer all its equity in IPC Cayman on closing for a total price of US$15 million and a 0.25% Overriding Royalty Interest (“ORI”) in the Israeli Project In addition, all 5 million warrants issued to ITC and 390,000 options issued to IPC Cayman consultants had been surrendered and cancelled without any compensation. The price of US$15 million was to consist of cash of US$10 million with the balance covered by two promissory notes carrying interest at 5% per annum and secured by additional ORI of 0.25% and a guarantee from IPC Cayman. One promissory note for US$2 million was payable on or before November 9, 2012 and another for US$3 million was payable on or before November 9, 2013. In the event of requests by the IPC Parties for an extension, or the occurrence of certain financing activities, the Company might receive up to a further US$500,000 in non-refundable deposits. The Company might also receive up to an additional US$ 3 million based on the price of Shaldieli shares after two years.

The Company received a non-refundable deposit of US$250,000. IPC Parties exercised its extension right on March 12, 2012 by paying to the Company’s tax escrow agent a further non-refundable deposit of US$125,000 and extended the closing date to April 25, 2012. This date was extended to May 14, 2012 for which the IPC Parties paid to the Company an extension fee of US$ 100,000. The original settlement agreement was finally revised and closed on June 29, 2012.

As per the terms of the revised settlement agreement the Company received US$ 5 million and surrendered all its shares in IPC Cayman for cancellation. The Company and IPC Parties exchanged mutual releases and dismissed all lawsuits against each other and against IPC Oil and Gas Holdings Ltd. (Formerly, Shaldieli Ltd.) and certain of its promoters.

As additional consideration, on or before December 31, 2012, based on a revaluation of the surrendered shares to be performed by the IPC Parties, Bontan will either receive (i) at the option of the IPC Parties, either a payment of US$9.625 million or a payment of US$6.625 million plus delivery of a US$3.0 million promissory note due on November 8, 2013, carrying 5% p.a. interest and secured by an IPC guarantee, a 0.15% Overriding Royalty Interest (ORI) and a pledge of 23% of the IPC Shares, or (ii) the right to exercise an option to purchase 49.27% of the issued and outstanding share capital of IPC Cayman on a fully diluted basis for an exercise price of US$4,927.(IPC Cayman currently holds 144,821,469 shares of Shaldieli).

The revised Settlement Agreement includes an obligation to pay Bontan an additional amount based on the increase in value of a specified number of Shaldieli shares, with the obligation guaranteed by IPC and also secured by the 0.15% ORI. This amount is only payable if the value of the specified number of Shaldieli shares is worth more than US$3M. Moreover, the payment may not exceed an additional $US3.0 million. In order for any amounts to be paid under this provision, there would have to be a significant increase in the market price over the current price.

As of the date of this report, we hold no interest in the two Israeli licenses. However, we own an overriding royalty interest of 0.25% in these licenses.

The following table shows the overriding royalty interests held by various parties in the Myra and Sara licenses:

Name of Holder	Percentage Interest
Royalty Trust for the benefit of the shareholders of PetroMed Corporation as of March 25, 2010	3.0%
East Mediterranean Exploration Company Ltd.	4.5%
Three Crown Petroleum LLC – an affiliate of ITC	0.25%
Bontan Corporation Inc	0.25%
Ofer Energy Enterprises LP	0.5%
Israel Land Development Company Ltd.	1.33%
IDB-DT (2010) Energy Ltd	0.138%
Modiin Energy Limited Partnership	0.532%
TOTAL OVERRIDING ROYALTY INTERESTS	10.5%

We have two wholly owned subsidiaries, Israel Oil and Gas Corporation and 1843343 Ontario Inc. Israel Oil and Gas Corporation held our 76.79% equity interest in IPC Cayman. This subsidiary was merged with Bontan Corporation Inc. on May 15, 2012.

Our second subsidiary, 1843343 Ontario Inc. was incorporated in Ontario, Canada on January 31, 2011 and has no activity since its inception.

(D) PROPERTY PLANTS AND EQUIPMENT

We currently lease office space at 47 Avenue Road, Suite 200, and Toronto, Ontario, Canada for approximately $2,500 per month. The leased area is approximately 950 square feet. Our current lease agreement will expire on July 31, 2012 and is usually extended on an annual basis.

Overview

During most part of fiscal 2012, we were mainly engaged in negotiations with IPC Cayman management to work out an acceptable out of court settlement and to end all legal disputes. A settlement agreement was reached in December 2011 and we were able to get US$475,000 and an overriding royalty interest of 0.25% on the two licenses. However, the settlement agreement was extended and revised and finally closed on June 29, 2012. Further details of these agreements are explained elsewhere in this report.

Key activities during the fiscal 2011 were:

a.	We completed our private placement which began in December 2009 in April 2010 and raised an additional approximately $2.3 million.

b.	The following key development occurred on the Israeli project –

·	Signing of a joint operating agreement with an operator on October 6, 2010.

·	Securing a drill rigs for potential drilling of an exploratory well in early 2012.

·	Securing extension on the Sara and Myra licenses to July 13, 2012 from Petroleum Commissioner in Israel in May 2011.

·	Completing 3D analysis in July 2011.

c.	Our subsidiary IPC Cayman set up IPC Israel in May 2010 and as a result, it became limited partner and we lost control over the financial reporting process of IPC Cayman and decided to deconsolidate the results of IPC Cayman effective May 18, 2010.

d.	We initiated extensive legal actions against the manager of IPC Cayman and against Shadieli Ltd., an Israeli shell in which the manager of IPC Cayman agreed to roll all the interest in IPC Israel for 90% equity without our knowledge or consent.

Income - There was no revenue during the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011

Expenses

The overall analysis of the expenses is as follows:

Fiscal year ended March 31	2012	2011

Operating expenses	$ 249,690	$ 379,636
Consulting fee & payroll	478,765	818,637
Exchange loss	8,653	20,688
Write off of short term investment Loss on disposal of short term investments	776,774 84,176	386,672 948,189
Professional fees Bank charges, interest and fees	870,571 1,749	1,221,720 4,096
	$ 2,470,378	$ 3,779,638

Operating Expenses

Fiscal year ended March 31,	2012	2011

Travel, meals and entertainment	$ 32,114	$ 131,976
Shareholder information	131,575	148,610
Other	86,001	99,050
	$ 249,690	$ 379,636

Travel, meals and entertainment

These expenses for fiscal 2012 were substantially incurred by our CEO, Kam Shah and the key consultant, Mr. Terence Robinson and other consultants and lawyers in visiting Israel in connection with the Israel Project. As explained earlier, most part of fiscal 2012 was spent in litigation and negotiations for an out of court settlement which involved minimum travels. These expenses were therefore significantly less in fiscal 2012 compared to fiscal 2011.

Increased travel costs during fiscal 2011 was caused by several visits to Israel and Grand Cayman in connection with our litigations in those places and also visiting Vancouver, USA and UK in earlier part of the fiscal year in connection with the Israeli Project and fund raising efforts.

Shareholder information

Shareholder information costs comprise investor and media relations fee, costs of holding annual general meeting of the shareholders and various regulatory filing fees.

Major cost (approximately 89%) consists of media relation and investor relation services provided by Current Capital Corp. under contracts dated July 1, 2004, which are being renewed automatically unless canceled in writing by a 30-day notice for a total monthly fee of US$10,000. Current Capital Corp. is a shareholder Corporation where the Chief Executive and Financial Officer of the Company provide accounting services.

Management believes that such services are essential to ensure our existing shareholder base and prospective investors/brokers and other interested parties are constantly kept in contact and their comments and concerns are brought to the attention of the management on a timely basis.

Other operating costs

These costs include rent, telephone, Internet, transfer agents fees and other general and administration costs.

There was no major change on a year over year basis.

Consulting fees and payroll	2011	2011

Fees settled in common shares	7,171	91,714
Fee settled by issuance of options	-	181,329
Fee settled in cash	425,436	505,856
Payroll	46,158	39,738
	$ 478,765	$ 818,637

The Company did not issue any shares or options to any consultants during the fiscal year 2012.Cash fee consisted of consulting fee charged by the CEO, audit committee members and two other consultants and were consistent with prior fiscal year. Payroll included value of $3,120 representing 50,000 shares granted under a compensation plan to an employee.

Major reduction in consulting fee during the fiscal year 2012 was mainly due to non-consolidation of IPC Cayman. The previous year’s fees included fees of approximately $266,000 to the IPC Cayman consultants.

The following details relate to the fiscal year 2011:

a.	Fees settled by shares include 120,000 shares issued to two independent consultants and 15,000 shares issued to the employee in respect of their services during the year.

950,000 options were issued in August 2010 to eight consultants and valued at $ 181,329 using Black-Scholes option price model. 300,000 of these options were issued to three directors. These options expire in five years and can be exercised to acquire equal number of common shares at an exercise price of US$0.35 per share.

c.	Cash fee includes approximately $402,000 paid to the CEO and two key consultants, Mr. Terence Robinson and Mr. John Robinson.

Write off of short term investments

The Company’s investment portfolio had five marketable securities at the beginning of the fiscal year 2012, one of which was fully written off. Another security was adjusted down by $ 111,000 to its fair value and later sold. The remaining three securities were still being held at the fiscal year end. However, their fair value declined significantly and the decline was considered other than temporary and therefore management decided to write off approximately $ 665,000 against carrying costs of these securities.

As at March 31, 2011, the Company’s short term investment portfolio included four securities whose market price showed continued decline which was considered other than temporary. The carrying costs of these securities were therefore written down by $386,672 in line with their market value as at March 31, 2011.

Loss (Gains) on disposal of short term investments

During the fiscal 2012, four marketable securities with adjusted costs of approximately $747,000 were disposed of for $663,000, resulting in a net realized loss of approximately $ 84,000. The disposals were made to generate more cash flow to meet litigation and operational costs.

During the fiscal year 2011, nine securities with carrying cost of $1.9 million were disposed of for approximately $1 million. Three securities alone had a combined loss of approximately $ 796,000. The significant disposal was mainly caused by the need for additional cash to meet litigation costs.

Professional fees

Professional fees consisted of:

	2012	2011
	(in $000’)
Audit & Related fees	$ 66	$ 70
Legal	915	1,152
Insurance claim received against legal costs	(110)	-
	$ 871	$ 1,222

As explained elsewhere in this report, the Company was forced to initiate legal actions against the manager of its subsidiary, IPC Cayman to protect its interest in Israeli project. The litigation initiatives required the Company to hire expensive lawyers in Israel, USA and Cayman Islands. Litigation proceedings began in December 2010 until May 2011 and after that out of court settlement negotiations began which also required heavy involvement of the same lawyers. Thus, for both the fiscal years 2012 and 2011, legal costs were the major costs for the Company.

During the fiscal 2012, we were able to successfully claim some of the legal costs incurred in the past from our insurance company under the directors and officers insurance, which approved a net of $110,000 against our claim.

Bank charges, interest and fees

Charges were substantially lower in 2012 compared to 2011 due to limited number of transactions. Besides, 2011 included interest costs of approximately 1,500 related to loans settled in that fiscal year.

(B) Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working Capital

As at March 31, 2011, the Company had a net working capital of approximately $4.9 million compared to a working capital of $1.7 million as at March 31, 2011.

Substantial improvement in the working capital in fiscal 2012 was mainly due to transfer of exploration and evaluation costs of $ 5.3 million from long term assets in fiscal 2011 to current assets in fiscal 2012.

As explained elsewhere in this report, we concluded a settlement in June 2012 with IPC Cayman management with whom we were in legal disputes for over a year. This settlement resulted in sale of our interest. Without this adjustment, our working capital for fiscal 2012 would have been in deficit.

Our financials for the fiscal 2012 include a going concern note which reflects the above situation.

Operating cash flow

During the fiscal year 2012, operating activities required a net cash outflow of approximately $1.3 million mainly due to increased legal costs and cash fees. This was met from available cash, cash received form settlement and sale of short term investments.

During the fiscal year 2011, operating activities required a net cash outflow of approximately $ 2.6 million which was met from the available cash and cash generated from investments and equity financing.

The company expects its operating cash requirements to reduce significantly due to elimination of litigation costs as a result of the settlement.

Investing cash flows

Key investing activities comprised disposal of significant short term investments and Investment in the Israeli project.

Exploration and evaluation costs recoverable

The Company incurred these costs primarily in connection with its indirect interest in two Israeli offshore drilling licenses. The Company’s interest was held by way of 76.79% equity in IPC Cayman. In June 2012, the Company sold this interest under a settlement agreement closed after expensive and bitter litigations against the management of IPC Cayman for over a year.

Details of the background and current status of this interest are given under item 4(B) of this report.

We received net of $383,887; subsequently $100,000 was received in May 2012. In June 2012, an amount of $5 million was received plus an overriding royalty interest of 0.25% on the two licenses as a result of the settlement agreement, during the fiscal year 2012.

Key developments during the year ended March 31, 2011

On May 18, 2010, IPC Cayman agreed to establish a limited partnership in Israel (IPC Israel) and register IPC Cayman’s interest in the two licenses in the name of IPC Israel. IPC Israel is owned by IPC Cayman as a limited partner and its general partner is International Three Crown Petroleum LLC (ITC).

On October 13, 2010, IPC Cayman and its wholly owned IPC Partnership signed a Partnership Subscription and Contribution Agreement with Ofer Investments Ltd., an Israeli company, (“Ofer”). Under this agreement, Ofer agreed to contribute up to US$ 28 million towards the IPC Partnership’s share of the cost of drilling of the initial two exploratory wells under the Sara and Myra licenses and related exploration costs in exchange for a 50% limited partnership interest in IPC Partnership and certain voting and management rights related to IPC Partnership.

As a result of the above transactions, the Company’s indirect interest in the two licenses now stands at 5.23%.

3.	On October 6, 2010, the partners of the Israel Project signed a new joint operating agreement with Geoglobal Resources (India) Inc., as operator. The new agreement provides for early termination and replacement of the operator subject to certain compensation.

On October 25, 2010, IPC Cayman announced that it signed an agreement to acquire a publicly listed Israeli company, Shaldieli Ltd in a reverse takeover by placing its ownership interests in the Israel project in to Shaldieli , Ltd in exchange for 90% ownership of Shaldieli, Ltd. The Company as a majority shareholder of IPC Cayman has not agreed to this deal.

The management carried out an impairment tests, involving (a) an independent geologist‘s evaluation of the prospective resources on the two prospects in accordance with NI 51-101, Sec 5-9 updated at December 1, 2010, and as further updated on June 15, 2011 (b) review of definite work plan prepared by the steering committee of the joint venture partners and its acceptance by the Israeli Ministry of National Infrastructure, (c) assessment of the likely outcome of the current disputes with Shaldieli and IPC Cayman management and concluded that there was no permanent impairment.

Short term investments

The Company continued to dispose of its investments during the fiscal 2012 to meet increasing legal costs due to litigations and settlement negotiations. Four of the marketable securities were sold for net proceeds of approximately 0.7 million.

During the fiscal year 2011, there were no new significant investments. There were significant disposals to meet increasing litigation costs as explained elsewhere in this report. Nine securities of public companies having carrying value of approximately $1.8 million were sold for $900,000.

The Company had short term investments at a carrying cost of approximately $ 0.2 million as at March 31, 2012 (2011: $2.1million) – all of which (2011: 100%) was held in Canadian currency. Investments were in 4 public companies ( 2011: 5 public companies) These investments were stated at their fair value of approximately $ 0.2 million (2011: $1.9 million) as at March 31, 2012 and the difference representing unrealised gain of approximately $20,000 (2011: gain of approximately $168,000) was transferred to fair value reserve and included under shareholders equity.

The amounts at which the Company’s publicly-traded investments could be disposed of currently may differ from fair values based on market quotes, as the value at which significant ownership positions are sold is often different than the quoted market price due to a variety of factors such as premiums paid for large blocks or discounts due to illiquidity.

The following is a major composition of short term investments:

Financing cash flows

There were no financing activities during the fiscal year 2012.

Financing cash flow in fiscal 2011 arose from equity financing which was used to settle short term loans and financing the subsidiary.

Equity financing in fiscal 2011

During the fiscal year 2011, the Company raised a net of $ 2.1 million in private placement which began in November 2009 and ended on April 30, 2010.This private placement required issuance of 12.7 million additional common shares of the company and 13.9 million warrants and a finder’s fee of 10% in cash and warrants.

Further 600,000 warrants were exercised during the fiscal 2011 by two shareholders for a total cash price of $60,503.

The funds raised were spent in settling all short term loans of approximately $ 1.1 million, in advances made to subsidiary, IPC Cayman of approximately $1 million.

Approximately $ 5.5 million was raised through two private placements. The first one began in December 2008 and completed in October 2009 and raised net of US$ 450,000. The second one began in December 2009 and until March 31, 2010 raised approximately $ 5 million. This private placed closed on April 30, 2010 and an additional approximately $ 2 million was raised. These private placements were subject to 10% finder’s fee in cash and additional 10% fee in warrants payable to various persons including Current Capital Corp., a related party and Mr. Howard Cooper, the sole director and president of our subsidiary, IPC Cayman.

Note 11 to the fiscal2011 financials provide further details of these private placements.

Debt funding in fiscal 2011

We borrowed short term loans totalling to approximately $1.2 million as at March 31, 2010. These loans carried interest between 5% and 10% per annum. The loans were fully settled with accumulated interest subsequent to March 31, 2010 from the additional funds raised through private placement

Between June 1, 2008 and December 31, 2008, Mr. Shah was allowed to draw $10,000 per month in arrears until the market price of our common shares reached $0.50 provided that such drawings were treated as fee advances to be repaid when the market price of our common shares stays at $0.50 or above for a consecutive period of three months. A total sum of $70,000 was withdrawn by Mr. Shah. The amount was finally expensed as a bonus in March 2010. Further, the contract provides for a lump sum compensation of US$250,000 for early termination of the contract without cause. The contract also provides for entitlement to stock compensation and stock options under appropriate plans as may be decided by the board of directors from time to time.

Mr. Terence Robinson’s consulting agreement was signed on April 1, 2003 for a six-year term ending on March 31, 2009. We renewed the consulting agreement for another five years effective April 1, 2009. Under the renewed agreement, Terence will receive a fixed monthly fee of $10,000 plus taxes and will be entitled to stock compensation and stock options as may be determined by our board of directors.

On July 1, 2009 we entered into a new consulting agreement with John Robinson for a term ending on March 31, 2014. We will pay John a fixed monthly fee of $8,500 plus taxes and he will be entitled to stock compensation and stock options as may be determined by our board of directors.

Defined Benefit or Actuarial Plan Disclosure

There is no pension plan or retirement benefit plan that has been instituted by the Company and none are proposed at this time.

Indebtedness of Directors, Executive Officers and Senior Officers

None.

Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance

The Company has purchased, at its expense, directors and officers liability insurance policy to provide insurance against possible liabilities incurred by them in their capacity as directors and officers of the Company.

Directors may be appointed at any time in accordance with the by-laws of the Company and then re-elected annually by the shareholders of the Company. Directors receive no compensation for serving as such, other than stock option and reimbursement of direct expenses. Officers are elected annually by the Board of Directors of the Company and serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

The Company has not set aside or accrued any amount for retirement or similar benefits to the directors.

Mandate of the Board

The Board has adopted a mandate, in which it has explicitly assumed responsibility for the stewardship of Bontan Corporation Inc. In carrying out its mandate the Board holds at least four meetings annually. The frequency of meetings, as well as the nature of the matters dealt with, will vary from year to year depending on the state of our business and the opportunities or risks, which we face from time to time. The Board held a total of 12 meetings, mostly by way of a conference call, during our financial year ended March 31, 2012. To assist in the discharge of its responsibilities, the Board has designated one standing committee: an Audit Committee, as more particularly discussed below.

Audit Committee

The members of the audit committee consisted of Dean Bradley and Mr. Brett Rees, both are our independent directors. The audit committee is charged with overseeing the Company's accounting and financial reporting policies, practices and internal controls. The committee reviews significant financial and accounting issues and the services performed by and the reports of our independent auditors and makes recommendations to our Board of Directors with respect to these and related matters.

The Company’s Audit Committee’s charter was detailed in the annual report for fiscal 2005. The Charter became effective on August 2, 2005.

Audit Committee charter assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities for our accounting and financial reporting practices by:

·	reviewing the quarterly and annual consolidated financial statements and management discussion and analyses;

·	meeting at least annually with our external auditor;

·	reviewing the adequacy of the system of internal controls in consultation with the chief executive and financial officer;

·	reviewing any relevant accounting and financial matters including reviewing our public disclosure of information extracted or derived from our financial statements;

·	establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal controls or auditing matters and the confidential, anonymous submission by employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters;

·	pre-approving all non-audit services and recommending the appointment of external auditors; and

·	reviewing and approving our hiring policies regarding personnel of our present and former external auditor

A copy of the Audit Committee Charter can be requested by calling (416) 929-1806.

Compensation Committee

The Company does not currently have a Compensation Committee. The directors determined that, in light of the Company’s size and resources, setting up such a committee would be too expensive and would not serve any useful purpose for the Company at this time. The Company has, however, set up an Independent Review Committee of the Board to review and approve all non-arms' length contracts. This Committee has the same composition as the Audit Committee, and is currently comprised of the two independent directors - Dean Bradley and Brett Rees. This committee approves fees and major expenses of Mr. Shah and Mr. Terence Robinson.

Corporate Governance Committee

The Company does not have a separate corporate governance committee. The CEO in conjunction with the audit committee has developed and updated corporate governance practices and policies, code of ethics and corporate disclosure policy which form part of our internal control over financial reporting manual. The goal is to provide a mechanism that can assist in our operations, including but not limited to, the monitoring of the implementation of policies, strategies and programs and the development, continuing assessment and execution of the Company’s strategic plan.

(D) EMPLOYEES

The Company presently has one employee who serves as assistant to the chief executive and financial officer. It uses the services of consultants from time to time.

(E) SHARE OWNERSHIP

The Company usually creates two Plans, Consultants Stock Compensation Plan and Stock Option Plan.

As at July 23, 2012, the Company had two active Consultants Stock Option Plans and four active Stock Option Plans. Details of these Plans and movements therein during the fiscal 2012 are given in Notes 9(c) and 10(a) to the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal 2012. As of the date of this report, there were 8,106,667 unallocated shares registered under the Consultants Stock Compensation Plans and 5,385,000 outstanding options under the Stock Option Plans.

All shares and options under previous plans have been issued and fully vested.

The objective of these stock plans is to provide for and encourage ownership of our common shares by our directors, officers, consultants and employees and those of any subsidiary companies so that such persons may increase their stake in our company and benefit from increases in the value of the common shares. The Plans are designed to be competitive with the benefit programs of other companies in the natural resource industry. It is the view of management that the plans are a significant incentive for the directors, officers, consultants and employees to continue and to increase their efforts in promoting our operations to the mutual benefit of both our company and such individuals and also allows us to avail of the services of experienced persons with minimum cash outlay.

The following table sets forth the share ownership of our officers, directors and key consultants and includes details of all options to purchase of the Company held by such persons at March 31, 2012:

	Common Shares Beneficially Owned		Options and Warrants Exercisable for Common Shares

The Memorandum and Articles of the Company are incorporated by reference to the information in our registration statement on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in Washington, D.C. on June 12, 2000 to which our Articles of Incorporation and Memorandum were filed as exhibits.

No further changes have been made to the Company’s Articles/Bylaws.

The Company’s articles of incorporation do not place any restrictions on the Company’s objects and purposes.

Certain Powers of Directors

The Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "OBCA") requires that every director who is a party to a material contract or transaction or a proposed material contract or transaction with a corporation, or who is a director or officer of, or has a material interest in, any person who is a party to a material contract or transaction or a proposed material contract or transaction with the corporation, shall disclose in writing to the corporation or request to have entered in the minutes of the meetings of directors the nature and extent of his or her interest, and shall refrain from voting in respect of the material contract or transaction or proposed material contract or transaction unless the contract or transaction is: (a) an arrangement by way of security for money lent to or obligations undertaken by the director for the benefit of the corporation or an affiliate; (b) one relating primarily to his or her remuneration as a director, officer,

employee or agent of the corporation or an affiliate; (c) one for indemnity of or insurance for directors as contemplated under the OBCA; or (d) one with an affiliate. However, a director who is prohibited by the OBCA from voting on a material contract or proposed material contract may be counted in determining whether a quorum is present for the purpose of the resolution, if the director disclosed his or her interest in accordance with the OBCA and the contract or transaction was reasonable and fair to the corporation at the time it was approved.

The Company's by-laws provide that the directors shall from time to time determine by resolution the remuneration to be paid to the directors, which shall be in addition to the salary paid to any officer or employee of the Company who is also a director. The directors may also by resolution award special remuneration to any director in undertaking any special services on the Company's behalf other than the normal work ordinarily required of a director of the Company. The by-laws provide that confirmation of any such resolution by the Company's shareholders is not required.

The Company's by-laws also provide that the directors may: (a) borrow money upon the credit of the Company; (b) issue, reissue, sell or pledge bonds, debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness or guarantee of the Company, whether secured or unsecured; (c) to the extent permitted by the OBCA, give directly or indirectly financial assistance to any person by means of a loan, a guarantee on behalf of the Company to secure performance of any present or future indebtedness, liability or other obligation of any person, or otherwise; and (d) mortgage, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise create a security interest in all or any currently owned or subsequently acquired real or personal, movable or immovable, tangible or intangible, property of the Company to secure any such bonds, debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness or guarantee or any other present or future indebtedness, liability or other obligation of the Company.

The directors may, by resolution, amend or repeal any by-laws that regulate the business or affairs of the Company. The OBCA requires the directors to submit any such amendment or repeal to the Company's shareholders at the next meeting of shareholders, and the shareholders may confirm, reject or amend the amendment or repeal.

Meetings of Shareholders

The OBCA requires the Company to call an annual shareholders' meeting not later than 15 months after holding the last preceding annual meeting and permits the Company to call a special shareholders' meeting at any time. In addition, in accordance with the OBCA, the holders of not less than 5% of the Company's shares carrying the right to vote at a meeting sought to be held may requisition our directors

to call a special shareholders' meeting for the purposes stated in the requisition. The Company is required to mail a notice of meeting and management information circular to registered shareholders not less than 21 days and not more than 50 days prior to the date of any annual or special shareholders' meeting. These materials also are filed with Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the SEC. The Company's by-laws provide that a quorum of two shareholders in person or represented by proxy holding or representing by proxy not less than 10% of the Company's issued shares carrying the right to vote at the meeting is required to transact business at a shareholders' meeting. Shareholders, and their duly appointed proxies and corporate representatives, as well as the Company's auditors, are entitled to be admitted to the Company's annual and special shareholders' meetings.

Authorized Capital

The Company's authorized capital consists of an unlimited number of shares of one class designated as common shares. The Company may not create any class or series of shares or make any modification to the provisions attaching to the Company's common shares without the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the votes cast by the holders of the common shares. The Company's common shares do not have pre-emptive rights to purchase additional shares.

Disclosure of Share Ownership

The Securities Act (Ontario) provides that a person or company that beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, voting securities of an issuer or that exercises control or direction over voting securities of an issuer or a combination of both, carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all the issuer's outstanding voting securities (an "insider") must, within 10 days of becoming an insider, file a report in the required form effective the date on which the person became an insider, disclosing any direct or indirect beneficial ownership of, or control or direction over, securities of the reporting issuer. The Securities Act

(Ontario) also provides for the filing of a report by an insider of a reporting issuer who acquires or transfers securities of the issuer. This report must be filed within 10 days after the end of the month in which the acquisition or transfer takes place.

The Securities Act (Ontario) also provides that a person or company that acquires (whether or not by way of a take-over bid, issuer bid or offer to acquire) beneficial ownership of voting or equity securities or securities convertible into voting or equity securities of a reporting issuer that, together with previously held securities brings the total holdings of such holder to 10% or more of the outstanding securities of that class, must (a) issue and file forthwith a news release containing the prescribed information and (b) file a report within two business days containing the same information set out in the news release. The acquiring person or company must also issue a press release and file a report each time it acquires an additional 2% or more of the outstanding securities of the same class and every time there is a "material change" to the contents of the news release and report previously issued and filed.

The rules in the United States governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed are more stringent than those discussed above. Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") imposes reporting requirements on persons who acquire beneficial ownership (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of more than 5% of a class of an equity security registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. In general, such persons must file, within 10 days after such acquisition, a report of beneficial ownership with the SEC containing the information prescribed by the regulations under Section 13 of the Exchange Act. This information is also required to be sent to the issuer of the securities and to each exchange where the securities are traded.

Restrictions on Share Ownership by Non-Canadians

There are no limitations under the laws of Canada or in the constitutive documents of the Company on the right of foreigners to hold or vote securities of the Company, except that the Investment Canada Act may require review and approval by the Minister of Industry (Canada) of certain acquisitions of "control" of the Company by a "non-Canadian". The threshold for acquisitions of control is generally defined as being one-third or more of the voting shares of the Company. "Non-Canadian" generally means an individual who is not a Canadian citizen, or a corporation, partnership, trust or joint venture that is ultimately controlled by non-Canadians.

The Company currently has only one material contract. On June 29, 2012, the Company signed a settlement agreement to dispose of its indirect interest in the Israeli Project as more fully described under Item 4(B) of this report.

(D) EXCHANGE CONTROLS

There are currently no laws, decrees, regulations or other legislation in Canada that restricts the export or import of capital or that affects the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-resident holders of our securities other than withholding tax requirements. There is no limitation imposed by

Canadian law or by our Articles of Incorporation or our other organizational documents on the right of a non-resident of Canada to hold or vote our common shares, other than as provided in the North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act (Canada) and in the Investment Canada Act, as amended by the World Trade Organization Agreement Implementation Act.

The Investment Canada Act requires notification and, in certain cases, advance review and approval by the Government of Canada of the acquisition by a “non-Canadian” of “control of a Canadian business”, all as defined in the Investment Canada Act. Generally, the threshold for review will be higher in monetary terms, and in certain cases an exemption will apply, for an investor ultimately controlled by persons who are nationals of a WTO Member or have the right of permanent residence in relation thereto.

(E) TAXATION

Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences

We consider that the following summary fairly describes the principal Canadian federal income tax consequences applicable to a holder of our common shares who at all material times deals at arm’s length with our company, who holds all common shares as capital property, who is resident in the United States, who is not a resident of Canada and who does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold, his common shares of our company in connection with carrying on a business in Canada (a “non-resident holder”). It is assumed that the common shares will at all material times be listed on a stock exchange that is prescribed for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “ITA”) and regulations thereunder. Investors should be aware that the Canadian federal income tax consequences applicable to holders of our common shares will change if, for any reason, we cease to be listed on a prescribed stock exchange. Accordingly, holders and prospective holders of our common shares should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the income tax consequences of them purchasing, owing and disposing of our common shares should we cease to be listed on a prescribed stock exchange.

This summary is based upon the current provisions of the ITA, the regulations there under, the Canada-United States Tax Convention as amended by the Protocols thereto (the “Treaty”) as at the date of the registration statement and the currently publicly announced administrative and assessing policies of the Canada Revenue Agency (the “CRA”). This summary does not take into account Canadian provincial income tax consequences. This description is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax consequences and does not take into account or anticipate any changes in law, whether by legislative, governmental or judicial action. This summary does, however, take into account all specific proposals to amend the ITA and regulations there under, publicly announced by the Government of Canada to the date hereof.

This summary does not address potential tax effects relevant to our company or those tax considerations that depend upon circumstances specific to each investor. Accordingly, holders and prospective holders of our common shares should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the income tax consequences to them of purchasing, owning and disposing of common shares in our company.

Dividends

The ITA provides that dividends and other distributions deemed to be dividends paid or deemed to be paid by a Canadian resident corporation (such as our company) to a non-resident of Canada shall be subject to a non-resident withholding tax equal to 25% of the gross amount of the dividend of deemed dividend. Provisions in the ITA relating to dividend and deemed dividend payments to and gains realized by non-residents of Canada, who are residents of the United States, are subject to the Treaty. The Treaty may reduce the withholding tax rate on dividends as discussed below.

Article X of the Treaty as amended by the US-Canada Protocol ratified on November 9, 1995 provides a 5% withholding tax on gross dividends or deemed dividends paid to a United States corporation which beneficially owns at least 10% of the voting stock of the company paying the dividend. In cases where

dividends or deemed dividends are paid to a United States resident (other than a corporation) or a United States corporation which beneficially owns less than 10% of the voting stock of a company, a withholding tax of 15% is imposed on the gross amount of the dividend or deemed dividend paid. We would be required to withhold any such tax from the dividend and remit the tax directly to CRA for the account of the investor.

The reduction in withholding tax from 25%, pursuant to the Treaty, will not be available:

(a) if the shares in respect of which the dividends are paid formed part of the business property or were otherwise effectively connected with a permanent establishment or fixed base that the holder has or had in Canada within the 12 months preceding the disposition, or

(b) the holder is a U.S. LLC which is not subject to tax in the U.S.

The Treaty generally exempts from Canadian income tax dividends paid to a religious, scientific, literary, educational or charitable organization or to an organization exclusively administering a pension, retirement or employee benefit fund or plan, if the organization is resident in the U.S. and is exempt from income tax under the laws of the U.S.

Capital Gains

A non-resident holder is not subject to tax under the ITA in respect of a capital gain realized upon the disposition of one of our shares unless the share represents “taxable Canadian property” to the holder thereof. Our common shares will be considered taxable Canadian property to a non-resident holder only if-.

(a) the non-resident holder;

(b) persons with whom the non-resident holder did not deal at arm’s length - or

owned not less than 25% of the issued shares of any class or series of our company at any time during the five year period preceding the disposition. In the case of a non-resident holder to whom shares of our company represent taxable Canadian property and who is resident in the United States, no Canadian taxes will generally be payable on a capital gain realized on such shares by reason of the Treaty unless:

(a) the value of such shares is derived principally from real property (including resource property) situated in Canada,

(b) the holder was resident in Canada for 120 months during any period of 20 consecutive years preceding, and at any time during the 10 years immediately preceding, the disposition and the shares were owned by him when he ceased to be a resident of Canada,

(c) they formed part of the business property or were otherwise effectively connected with a permanent establishment or fixed base that the holder has or bad in Canada within the 12 months preceding the disposition, or

(d) the holder is a U.S. LLC which is not subject to tax in the U.S.

If subject to Canadian tax on such a disposition, the taxpayer’s capital gain (or capital loss) from a disposition is the amount by which the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition exceed (or are exceeded by) the aggregate of the taxpayer’s adjusted cost base of the shares and reasonable expenses of disposition. For Canadian income tax purposes, the “taxable capital gain” is equal to one-half of the capital gain.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following discussion describes certain U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders (as defined below) under present law of an investment in our common shares. This discussion applies only to U.S. Holders that hold our common shares as capital assets (generally, property held for investment) and that have the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. This discussion is based on the tax laws of the United States as of the date of this annual report and on U.S. Treasury regulations in effect or, in some cases, proposed, as of the date of this annual report, as well as judicial and administrative interpretations thereof available on or before such date. All of the foregoing authorities are subject to change, which change could apply retroactively and could affect the tax consequences described below.

The following discussion neither deals with the tax consequences to any particular investor nor describes all of the tax consequences applicable to persons in special tax situations such as:

• banks;

• certain financial institutions;

• insurance companies;

• regulated investment companies;

• real estate investment trusts;

• broker dealers;

• traders that elect to mark to market;

• U.S. expatriates;

• tax-exempt entities;

• persons liable for alternative minimum tax;

• persons holding a common share as part of a straddle, hedging, conversion or integrated transaction;

• persons that actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our voting stock;

• persons who acquired common shares pursuant to the exercise of any employee share option or otherwise as compensation; or

• partnerships or other pass-through entities, or persons holding common shares through such entities.

In addition, the discussion below does not describe any tax consequences arising out of the recently enacted Medicare tax on certain "net investment income."

INVESTORS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS ABOUT THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL TAX RULES TO THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES AS WELL AS THE STATE, LOCAL, NON-U.S. AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF COMMON SHARES.

The discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to "U.S. Holders" will apply to you if you are the beneficial owner of common shares and you are, for U.S. federal income tax purposes,

• an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

• a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia;

• an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

• a trust that (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and the control of one or more U.S. persons for all substantial decisions or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

If you are a partner in partnership or other entity taxable as a partnership that holds common shares, your tax treatment will depend on your status and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner in such a partnership, you should consult your tax advisor.

Taxation of Dividends and Other Distributions on the Common Shares

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, the gross amount of any distributions we make to you with respect to the common shares generally will be includible in your gross income as dividend income on the date of receipt by you, but only to the extent the distribution is paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Any such dividends will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S. corporations. To the extent the amount of the distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), such excess amount will be treated first as a tax-free return of your tax basis in your common shares, and then, to the extent such excess amount exceeds your tax basis in your common shares, capital gain. We currently do not, and we do not intend to, calculate our earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles. Therefore, a U.S. Holder should expect that a distribution will generally be reported as a dividend even if that distribution would otherwise be treated as a non-taxable return of capital or as capital gain under the rules described above.

With respect to certain non-corporate U.S. Holders, including individual U.S. Holders, for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2013, any dividends may be taxed at the lower capital gains rate applicable to "qualified dividend income," provided (1) either (a) the common shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States or (b) we are eligible for the benefits of a qualifying income tax treaty with the United States that includes an exchange of information program, (2) we are neither a PFIC nor treated as such with respect to you (as discussed below) for the taxable year in which the dividend was paid and the preceding taxable year, and (3) certain holding period and other requirements are met. Under U.S. Internal Revenue Service authority, common shares will be considered for purposes of clause (1) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States if they are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market, as are our common shares. You should consult your tax advisors regarding the availability of the lower capital gains rate applicable to qualified dividend

income for any dividends paid with respect to our common shares, as well as the effects of any change in applicable law after the date of this annual report.

Any dividends will constitute foreign source income for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. If the dividends are taxed as qualified dividend income (as discussed above), the amount of the dividend taken into account for purposes of calculating the foreign tax credit limitation will in general be limited to the gross amount of the dividend, multiplied by the reduced tax rate applicable to qualified dividend income and divided by the highest tax rate normally applicable to dividends. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. For this purpose, dividends distributed by us with respect to the common shares will generally constitute "passive category income" but could, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, constitute "general category income."

If Canadian or PRC withholding taxes apply to any dividends paid to you with respect to our common shares, the amount of the dividend would include withheld Canadian and PRC taxes and, subject to certain conditions and limitations, such Canadian and PRC withholdings taxes may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability. The rules relating to the determination of the foreign tax credit are complex, and you should consult your tax advisors regarding the availability of a foreign tax credit in your particular circumstances, including the effects of any applicable income tax treaties.

Taxation of Disposition of Common Shares

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, you will recognize taxable gain or loss on any sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of a common share equal to the difference between the amount realized for the common share and your tax basis in the common share. The gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss. If you are a non-corporate U.S. Holder, including an individual U.S. Holder, that has held the common shares for more than one year, you may be eligible for reduced tax rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any gain or loss you recognize on a disposition of common shares will generally be treated as U.S. source income or loss for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. However, if we are treated as a "resident enterprise" for PRC tax purposes, we may be eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC. In such event, if PRC tax were to be imposed on any gain from the disposition of the common shares, a U.S. Holder that is eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC may elect to treat the gain as PRC source income for foreign tax credit purposes. You should consult your tax advisors regarding the proper treatment of gain or loss in your particular circumstances, including the effects of any applicable income tax treaties.

Passive Foreign Investment Company

Based on the market price of our common shares, the value of our assets, and the composition of our income and assets, we do not believe we were a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our taxable year ended March 31, 2012. However, the application of the PFIC rules is subject to uncertainty in several respects, and we cannot assure you that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service will not take a contrary position. A non-U.S. corporation will be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year if either:

• at least 75% of its gross income for such year is passive income; or

• at least 50% of the value of its assets (based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets) during such year is attributable to assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income.

For this purpose, we will be treated as owning our proportionate share of the assets and earning our proportionate share of the income of any other corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, more than 25% (by value) of the stock.

A separate determination must be made after the close of each taxable year as to whether we were a PFIC for that year. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will not be a PFIC for our current taxable year ending March 31, 2013 or any future taxable year. Because the value of our assets for purposes of the PFIC test will generally be determined by reference to the market price of our common shares, fluctuations in the market price of the common shares may cause us to become a PFIC. In addition, changes in the composition of our income or assets may cause us to become a PFIC.

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which you hold common shares, we generally will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to you for all succeeding years during which you hold common shares, unless we cease to be a PFIC and you make a "deemed sale" election with respect to the common shares. If such election is made, you will be deemed to have sold common shares you hold at their fair market value on the last day of the last taxable year in which we qualified as a PFIC, and any gain from such deemed sale would be subject to the consequences described in the following two paragraphs. After the deemed sale election, your common shares with respect to which the deemed sale election was made will not be treated as shares in a PFIC unless we subsequently become a PFIC.

For each taxable year we are treated as a PFIC with respect to you, you will be subject to special tax rules with respect to any "excess distribution" you receive and any gain you recognize from a sale or other disposition (including a pledge) of the common shares, unless you make a "mark-to-market" election as discussed below. Distributions you receive in a taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions you received during the shorter of the three preceding taxable years or your holding period for the common shares will be treated as an excess distribution. Under these special tax rules:

• the excess distribution or recognized gain will be allocated ratably over your holding period for the common shares;

• the amount allocated to the current taxable year, and any taxable years in your holding period prior to the first taxable year in which we were a PFIC, will be treated as ordinary income; and

• the amount allocated to each other taxable year will be subject to the highest tax rate in effect for individuals or corporations, as applicable, for each such year and the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the resulting tax attributable to each such year.

The tax liability for amounts allocated to taxable years prior to the year of disposition or excess distribution cannot be offset by any net operating losses for such years, and gains (but not losses) realized on the sale or other disposition of the common shares cannot be treated as capital, even if you hold the common shares as capital assets.

If we are treated as a PFIC with respect to you for any taxable year, to the extent any of our subsidiaries are also PFICs or we make direct or indirect equity investments in other entities that are PFICs, you may be deemed to own shares in such lower-tier PFICs that are directly or indirectly owned by us in that proportion which the value of the common shares you own bears to the value of all of our common shares, and you may be subject to the adverse tax consequences described in the preceding two paragraphs with respect to the shares of such lower-tier PFICs that you would be deemed to own. You should consult your tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to any of our subsidiaries.

A U.S. Holder of "marketable stock" (as defined below) in a PFIC may make a mark-to-market election for such stock to elect out of the PFIC rules described above regarding excess distributions and recognized gains. If you make a mark-to-market election for the common shares, you will include in income for each year we are a PFIC an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the common shares as of the close of your taxable year over your adjusted basis in such common shares. You will be allowed a deduction for the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of the common shares over their fair market value as of the close of the taxable year. However, deductions will be allowable only to the extent of any net mark-to-market gains on the common shares included in your income for prior taxable years. Amounts included in your income under a mark-to-market election, as well as gain on the actual sale or other disposition of the common shares will be treated as ordinary income. Ordinary loss treatment will also apply to the deductible portion of any mark-to-market loss on the common shares, as well as to any loss realized on the actual sale or other disposition of the common shares, to the extent the amount of such loss does not exceed the net mark-to-market gains previously included for such common shares. Your basis in the common shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. If you make a mark-to-market election, any distributions we make would generally be subject to the rules discussed above under "—Taxation of Dividends and Other Distributions on the Common Shares," except the lower rate applicable to qualified dividend income would not apply.

The mark-to-market election is available only for "marketable stock," which is stock that is regularly traded on a qualified exchange or other market, as defined in applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. Our common shares are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market, which is a qualified exchange or other market for these purposes. Consequently, if the common shares continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Global Market and are regularly traded, and you are a holder of common shares, we expect the mark-to-market election would be available to you if we were to become a PFIC. Because a mark-to-market election cannot be made for equity interests in any lower-tier PFICs that we own, a U.S. Holder may continue to be subject to

the PFIC rules with respect to its indirect interest in any investments held by us that are treated as an equity interest in a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. You should consult your tax advisors as to the availability and desirability of a mark-to-market election, as well as the impact of such election on interests in any lower-tier PFICs.

Alternatively, if a non-U.S. corporation is a PFIC, a holder of shares in that corporation may avoid taxation under the PFIC rules described above regarding excess distributions and recognized gains by making a "qualified electing fund" election to include in income its share of the corporation's income on a current basis. However, you may make a qualified electing fund election with respect to your common shares only if we agree to furnish you annually with certain tax information, and we currently do not intend to prepare or provide such information.

Unless otherwise provided by the U.S. Treasury, each U.S. Holder of a PFIC is required to file an annual report containing such information as the U.S. Treasury may require. If we are or become a PFIC, you should consult your tax advisor regarding any reporting requirements that may apply to you.

You are strongly urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the application of the PFIC rules to your investment in common shares.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Any dividend payments with respect to common shares and proceeds from the sale, exchange or redemption of common shares may be subject to information reporting to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and possible U.S. backup withholding. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder that furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other required certification or that is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders that are required to establish their exempt status generally must provide such certification on U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the U.S. information reporting and backup withholding rules.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability, and you may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by filing the appropriate claim for refund with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and furnishing any required information in a timely manner.

Additional Reporting Requirements

Certain U.S. Holders who are individuals are required to report information relating to an interest in our common shares, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for common shares held in accounts maintained by certain financial institutions). U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of these rules on their ownership and disposition of the common shares.

ITEM 11 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a number of risks arising from financial instruments. Management’s close involvement in the operations allows for the identification of risks and variances from expectations. The Company does not participate in the use of financial instruments to mitigate these risks and has no designated hedging transactions. The Board approves and monitors the risk management processes. The Board’s main objectives for managing risks are to ensure liquidity, the fulfilment of obligations, the continuation of the Company’s search for new business participation opportunities, and limited exposure to credit and market risks while ensuring greater returns on the surplus funds on hand. There were no changes to the objectives or the process from the prior year.

A summary of the Company’s risk exposures as it relates to financial instruments are reflected below:

a)	Fair value of financial instruments

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are comprised of cash, amounts receivable, prepaid expenses, short term investments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

The Company classifies the fair value of these transactions according to the following fair value hierarchy based on the amount of observable inputs used to value the instrument:

• Level 1 – Values are based on unadjusted quoted prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

• Level 2 – Values are based on inputs, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value and volatility factors, which can be substantially observed or corroborated in the marketplace. Prices in Level 2 are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.

• Level 3 – Values are based on prices or valuation techniques that are not based on observable market data. Accordingly, short term investments are classified as Level 1.

Assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the placement within the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk, other price risk and market risk.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counter-party’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The credit risk is attributable to various financial instruments, as noted below. The credit risk is limited to the carrying value amount carried on the statement of financial position.

a.	Cash– Cash is held with major financial institutions in Canada and therefore the risk of loss is minimal.

b.	Other receivables – The Company is not exposed to major credit risk attributable to customers. A significant portion of this amount is due from the Canadian government. The balance is due from an Israeli escrow agent which is one of its major law firms.

c.	Short term Investments –These investments are in junior Canadian public companies and are valued at their quoted market prices on reporting dates.

c)	Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in satisfying financial obligations as they become due.

The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions without incurring unacceptable losses or risking harm to the Company’s reputation. The Company expects to satisfy obligations under accounts payable, amounts due to related parties, and short ‐ term debt in less than one year through cash flows from the proceeds of the sale of its interest as explained in Note 21.

The Company monitors its liquidity position regularly to assess whether it has the funds necessary to take care of its operating needs and needs for investing in new projects. However, as an exploration company at an early stage of development and without significant internally generated cash flows, there are inherent liquidity risks, including the possibility that additional financing may not be available to the Company, or that actual exploration expenditures may exceed those planned. The current uncertainty in global markets and pending litigations could have an impact on the Company’s future ability to access capital on terms that are acceptable to the Company. There can be no assurance that required financing will be available to the Company.

d)	Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign currency risk.

Other price risk primarily arises from the Company’s short term investments in marketable securities which accounted for approximately 4% of total assets of the Company as at March 31, 2012 (20% as at March 31, 2011). Further, the Company’s holding in one Canadian marketable security accounted for approximately 65% (March 31, 2011: 40%) of the total short term investment in marketable securities as at March 31, 2012.

The Management tries to mitigate this risk by monitoring all its investments daily with experienced consultants and ensuring that investments are made in companies which are financially stable with viable businesses.

e)	Market risk

Market risk consists of interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk.

The Company operates primarily in Canada and substantially all of its activities including cash and short term investments are denominated in Canadian dollars. However, costs incurred on exploration and evaluation relating to its interest in the Israeli project and expected potential returns on its disposal or development, if any, would be denominated in US dollars. The Company is therefore exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rate between the US and Canadian dollar.

The fluctuation of the US dollar in relation to the Canadian dollar will consequently impact the loss of the Company and may also affect the value of the Company’s assets and the amount of shareholders’ equity.

Comparative foreign exchange rates are as follows:

	March 31, 2011	March 31, 2011	December 31, 2010
One US Dollar to CDN Dollar	1.0000	0.9718	0.9946

The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any foreign currency hedging arrangements to hedge possible currency risks at this time.

The balances in US Dollar as at March 31, 2012 were as follows: (all figures in CDN$’000 equivalent)

Cash, receivables & short term investments	$137
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	(456)
Net liabilities	$(319)

Based on the above net exposure, a 5% depreciation of the Canadian dollar against US dollar will increase the net liabilities by $15,950 while a 5% appreciation of the Canadian dollar against US dollar will decrease the net liabilities by $ 15,950.

a) Evaluation of Disclosure controls and procedures

We have no employees. Our Chief Executive Officer who also serves as Chief Financial Officer (“CEO”) is primarily responsible in establishing and maintaining controls and procedures concerning disclosure of material information and their timely reporting in consultation and under direct supervision of the audit committee which comprises two independent directors. We therefore do not have an effective internal controls and procedures due to lack of segregation of duties. However, given the size and nature of our current operations and involvement of independent directors in the process significantly reduce the risk factors associated with the lack of segregation of duties.

The CEO has instituted a system of disclosure controls for the Company to ensure proper and complete disclosure of material information. The limited number of consultants and direct involvement of the CEO facilitates access to real time information about developments in the business for drafting disclosure documents. All documents are circulated to the board of directors and audit committee according to the disclosure time-lines.

As at March 31, 2012, the management carried out a comprehensive review and update of the internal controls existing over the financial reporting. Mitigating controls and procedures were identified wherever possible. Some controls were implemented as a secondary detection mechanism if the initial controls failed to prevent errors from occurring.

There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date the CEO completed his evaluation,

nor were there any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the Company's internal controls requiring corrective actions other than the lack of segregation of duties.

b) Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting

Management of Bontan Corporation Inc. (The Company) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that:

-	Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets;

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Directors of the Company: and,

-	Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting are subject to the risks that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management evaluated and updated the design and operation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2012, based on the framework and criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and has concluded that such internal control over financial reporting is effective.

There is a lack of segregation of duties since Chief executive and financial officer handles accounting records and is also a sole signatory to bank and brokerage accounts. However, potential risks arising from this weakness are mitigated significantly through independent reconciliations and direct involvement in review process by the audit committee, which comprises all independent directors. Management believes that benefits of hiring additional staff to segregate these functions would not justify the costs under the current nature and level of activities at the Company.

c) Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended March 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 16(A) AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERTS
