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 Internet and high technology industry,
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, the terms "Bontan Corporation Inc." the "Company" and "Bontan" are used interchangeably in this Annual Report.

FOREIGN PRIVATE ISSUER STATUS AND CURRENCIES AND EXCHANGE RATES

Foreign Private Issuer Status

Bontan Corporation Inc., (the "Company"), is a Canadian corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario. Approx. 88% of its common stock is held by non-United States citizens and residents; our business is administered principally outside the United States; and all of 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 and Exchange Rates

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 accounting principles generally accepted in Canada ("Can. GAAP"). Such financial data conforms in all material respects with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") except as disclosed in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein.

All dollar amounts set forth in this report are in Canadian dollars, except where otherwise indicated. The following table sets forth (i) the rates of exchange for the Canadian dollar, expressed in U.S. dollars, in effect at the end of each of the periods indicated; (ii) the average exchange rates in effect on the last day of each month during such periods; (iii) the high and low exchange rate during such periods, in each case based on the noon buying rate in New York City for cable transfers in Canadian dollars as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

(D) RISK FACTORS

Unfavorable Market Conditions

The downward turn in the Technology Sector over the last year has made the climate for Internet start-ups unfavorable and reduced their liquidity. Consequently, the demand and market acceptance for Internet and high technology products is subject to a high level of uncertainty and risk. As a result, the incubation of Internet and high technology oriented businesses creates a

Table of Contents

substantial risk to the Company and may cause adverse impacts on the Company and its investee entities.

Securities of Information

Concerns regarding security of transactions and transmitting confidential Information over the Internet may have an adverse impact on the businesses of the entities in which the Company holds equity or non-equity interest. The management believes that concern regarding the security of confidential information transmitted over the Internet prevents many potential customers from engaging in online transactions. If the Company or its investee entities that depend on such transactions do not add sufficient security features to the future product releases, the products and services may not gain market acceptance or there may be additional legal exposure.

The network infrastructure, i.e. E-Mail server, of the Company and its investee entities is potentially vulnerable to physical or electronic break-ins, viruses or similar problems. If a person circumvents the security measures imposed, he or she could misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruption in operations of the Company. Security breaches that result in access to confidential information could damage the reputation of the company and expose it to a risk of loss or liability. The Company and its investee entities may be required to make significant investments and efforts to protect against or remedy security breaches.

Risks Related to Legal Uncertainties

Because much of the investee entities' potential success and value lies in the ownership and use of intellectual property, and the failure to protect this intellectual property could negatively affect the Company and its investee entities. The ability to compete effectively is dependent in large part upon the maintenance and protection of intellectual property. We currently do not have patents or trademark registrations protecting our investee entities' products and other intellectual property. To date, we have relied on trade secret and copyright law, as well as confidentiality procedures and licensing arrangements, to establish and protect the rights to investee entities' technology. Typically, confidentiality or license agreements are entered in with investee entities consultants, customers, strategic partners and vendors in an effort to control access to and distribution of investee entities' software, firmware, documentation and other proprietary information. Despite these precautions, it may be po ssible for a third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use the proprietary technology without authorization. Policing unauthorized use of our intellectual property is difficult. The steps we take may not prevent misappropriation of our investee entities' intellectual property, and the agreements entered may not be enforceable. In addition, effective intellectual property protection may be unavailable or limited in some jurisdictions outside Canada and the United

Table of Contents

States. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce or protect our investee entities' intellectual property rights or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. That litigation could cause us to incur substantial costs and divert resources away from our daily business, which in turn could materially adversely affect our business.

Investee entities may be subject to damaging and disruptive intellectual property litigation.

Technology Obsolescence

The Company and its investee entities plan to operate in markets characterized by rapid technology change, frequent new product and service introductions and evolving industry standards. Significant technological changes could render the existing Web site technology or other products and services of the Company and its investee entities obsolete. The e-commerce market's growth and intense competition may exacerbate these conditions.

If the Company and its investee entities are unable to successfully respond to these developments or do not respond in a cost-effective way, their business, financial condition and operating results will be adversely affected. To be successful the Company and its investee entities must adapt to the rapidly changing markets by continually improving the responsiveness, services and features of our products and services and by developing new features to meet the needs of their customers. Success will depend, in part, on their ability to license leading technologies useful in their businesses, enhance their products and services and develop new offerings and technology that address the needs of their customers. The Company and its investee entities will also need to respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards in a cost- effective and timely manner.

Government Regulations

Government regulations and legal uncertainties may place financial burdens on the business of The Company and its investee entities.

As at March 31, 2003, there were few laws or regulations directed specifically at e-commerce. However, because of the Internet's popularity and increasing use, new laws and regulations may be adopted. These laws and regulations may cover issues such as the collection of and use of data from Web site visitors and related privacy issues, pricing, content, copyrights, online gambling, distribution and the quality of goods and services. The enactment of any additional laws or regulations may impede the growth of the Internet and e-commerce, which could decrease the potential revenue and place additional financial burdens on the business of the Company and its investee entities.

Table of Contents

Laws and regulations directly applicable to e-commerce or Internet

Communications are becoming more prevalent. For example, US Congress recently enacted laws regarding online copyright infringement and the protection of information collected online from children. Although these laws may not have a direct adverse effect on the proposed business of the Company and its investee entities, they add to the legal and regulatory burden faced by e-commerce companies.

Dependence on Key Individuals

Terence E. Robinson, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Kam Shah, Director and Chief Financial Officer, have been primarily responsible for the development and expansion of the Company's business, and the loss of the services of either of or both those individuals could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company currently has five-year consulting agreements with each of Messrs. Robinson and Shah, expiring on April 1, 2005.

Service of Legal Process and Enforcement of Judgments

It may be difficult for investors to effect service of process and to enforce judgments against the Company or those of its officers and Directors who are not resident in or citizens of the United States. The Company is an Ontario corporation. All of its Directors and officers are residents of Canada and all or a substantial portion of the assets of each of those persons and a substantial portion of the assets of the Company are located outside the United States. Consequently, it may be difficult for United States investors to effect service within the United States upon the Company or upon Directors or officers of the Company, or to satisfy judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon civil liabilities under United States federal securities laws.

Absence of Dividends

The Company has not paid any cash dividends and does not anticipate paying any dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future. The Company anticipates that earnings, if any, will be retained to finance future growth.

ITEM 4 - INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

(A) HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY

Bontan Corporation Inc. ("the Company") was incorporated under the Business Corporation Act (Ontario) in 1973 and is based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Table of Contents

The Company went through several name changes and four major changes in its business activities. Details of these changes were provided in the Registration Statement 20-F dated June 12, 2000. The significant changes, briefly, were as follows:

The Company was incorporated under the name Kamlo Gold Mines Limited and remained an inactive shell from the date of incorporation to 1985.
Between 1982 and 1986, the Company was involved in the development of a new technology for the marine propulsion business. During this period, the Company went through three name changes.
Between 1993 and 1996, the Company was involved in the distribution and manufacture of a snack food. During this period, the Company went through two more name changes.

The Company remained an inactive shell since the closure of snack food business in November 1996 until December 1998 when it changed its 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, the company successfully raised $3.2 million, which were invested in various projects and companies over the next two years as per the new business strategy of the company.

Unfortunately, IT sector performed poorly since 2001 and new and emerging technology based businesses suffered significant losses, financial problems and bankruptcies. These factors adversely affected the company's investments and its profitability. The company had to write off all its investments by the end of the fiscal 2003.

The management saw no sign of technology sector reviving in the near future and decided to change the business focus to resource industry. The new business strategy was discussed in the annual and special general meeting held in November 2002 and was accepted by the key shareholders of the company who have been providing the funding for its operational needs to date.

Accordingly, on April 21, 2003, the Company changed its name to Bontan Corporation Inc. and began preparation for raising funds to avail of an investment opportunity in the Resource sector that was being negotiated.

The Company had no significant revenue since April 1, 1996 except in the fiscal year 2001 and incurred significant losses since inception. Accumulated deficit at March 31, 2003 was approx. $20.7 million.

Table of Contents

The Company's operating cash requirement during the fiscal year 2003 was primarily funded out of the funds received from shareholders and from the investment tax credit refund.

Capital Expenditures

The Company spent $ nil on capital assets during the year ended March 31, 2003 compared to $352 in fiscal 2002 and $17,850 in fiscal 2001.

(B) BUSINESS OVERVIEW

The company's operating activities can be broadly classified into three business segments-

Business services: This segment includes management and operational services to investee companies and others.

Product development: This segment includes development,management and operations of the Company's own web sites and technical projects.

Incubation: This segment includes dividend and/or capital gains earned through long-term investments in start-ups and emerging companies.

In December 1999, the Company successfully initiated a private placement and raised a net amount of $3.2 million.

The Company invested the funds raised in short term investments in marketable securities of new or emerging public companies, in non-marketable securities of private companies and in convertible debenture of a private company. All these companies were primarily engaged in development of Internet related businesses. Unfortunately, all these investments were significantly affected due to continually adverse business climate for the technology industry in general and start up companies in particular. As a result, almost all these investments were either written off or disposed of by the end of the fiscal 2001. approx. $2.5 million was invested over the period of three years between the fiscal 1999 and 2001.

During the same period, the company also invested in several in house projects, which aimed to use the Internet and other new technologies for commercial usage.

One of the in house projects was known as IRCheck.com. The project comprised development of a comprehensive, content-driven web site, providing details on Investors Relations firms for the small to medium size public companies seeking to outsource their investor relation matters.

Table of Contents

The revenue opportunities included subscription fees chargeable to the owners of the contents included in the portal (IRCheck.com - IR firms) and user fees to the visitors to the portal requiring customized information beyond the basic free information. Other sources of revenue were identified to include sponsorship, product packaging and sale of proprietary database. The Company spent a total of approx. $35,000 up to the end of the fiscal 2001. The company licensed the database developed in relation to this project to an affiliated shareholder corporation and generated revenue of approx. $151,000 in fiscal 2001. However, the licensing contract expired and no new contracts were secured. Further, the company was not able to secure additional resources to update the information and had to write off this investment in the fiscal 2002.

During the fiscal 2001, the company funded another major project through an Ontario private company in which the Company has full equity ownership. The investee company's business strategy was to develop and market and/or license web enabled wireless and portable Internet appliances using latest wireless connectivity technologies like Bluetooth. First of its projects related to a medical data-logging device. The Company invested about $138,000 by March 31, 2002. The project however, met with significant technical challenges and completion date for a prototype continued to get postponed. Eventually, the management was left with no alternative but to follow a conservative accounting practice and write off the project in the fiscal 2003.

Overview of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003

Investments

As explained earlier, most of the investments made up to the fiscal 2002 were either disposed of or written off by the fiscal 2002.

No new investments were made or considered during the fiscal 2003.

Business Projects

The company had one project - Biochex project - being carried out by a subsidiary as explained earlier. This project began in fiscal 2001 and comprised creation of a prototype of a medical data-logging device, which would be portable, wireless and use the latest Bluetooth^TMtechnology.

The company spent a total of approx. $138,000 on this project by the end of the fiscal 2002. During the fiscal 2003, no further funds were spent. Instead, the company was successful in its application to the Canadian Government for a research and development tax credit for the money spent on this project. The company received approx. $49,500 of the tax credit.

Table of Contents

The prototype, which was expected to be completed by December 2002, continued to have technical problems. These problems further delayed the completion date. It was not certain as to what exactly were the problems and how much it would cost to address them and then what were the chances of a successful prototype emerging at the end. As a result, the company has decided not to invest any further funds in this project until a working prototype is completed. Meanwhile, following a conservative accounting practice, the company wrote off the balance of the investment in the fiscal 2003.

Fulfillment services

No fulfilment services were provided during the fiscal 2003.

(C) ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

The Company has two wholly owned subsidiaries: Foodquest Inc. and 1388755 Ontario Inc. Foodquest Inc. has been inactive since 1998 and is currently a shell with no assets or liabilities. 1388755 Ontario Inc. is engaged in development of a prototype of a wireless and portable Internet appliance for medical data logging system. The Company directly carries out all other investments and operations.

(D) PROPERTY PLANTS AND EQUIPMENT

The administrative head office of the Company is located in subleased premises at 47 Avenue Road, Suite 200, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. There is no long-term lease commitment.

Total area of the premises is approximately 950 sq. ft., and about 30% of this premise is subleased to the Company.

See Operating and Financial Review and Prospects - Item 5 for further details.

Overview

The company's performance during the fiscal year 2003 remained dismal. Lack of adequate funding coupled with discouraging business climate adversely affected some of the initiatives, which were intended to bring profitable business activities in the company. These are discussed in detail later in this report.

The performance by business segment was as follows:

Incubation--: This segment relates to investing mainly in start up companies with Internet and high technology oriented business plans.

This segment did not generate any revenue. There was no major activity in this segment during the fiscal 2003. The net loss sustained by this segment was approx. $0.1 million in fiscal 2003 compared to $ 0.9 million in fiscal 2002.

Commercial web sites and project development--: This segment relates to the Company's investments in wholly owned commercial web sites and projects. The Biochex project through an Ontario private company where the Company has full ownership equity, was the only project that was being carried over from the fiscal year 2002. The project cost was fully written off in fiscal 2003.

This segment did not generate any revenue in fiscals 2003 and 2002. Net losses from this segment during fiscal 2003 were approx. $ 89,000 compared to losses of $300 in fiscal 2002.

Fulfillment services--: This segment provides administration and operational services to investee companies and other entities where the company may choose to invest in the future.

There was no activity in this segment during the fiscal 2003 and it generated no revenue compared to the revenue of $60,000 in fiscal 2002. The decline in revenue is explained under income section of this report.

Table of Contents

Income

Overall revenue of the Company decreased significantly to $15,256 in fiscal 2003 compared to $66,860 in fiscal 2002. Revenue was $351,242 in fiscal 2001.

Various sources of income are discussed below.

Operational services income

The company provided no operational services during the fiscal 2003 and had no income from this source.

The company earned $60,000 in fiscal 2002 from providing management services to an Ontario affiliated shareholder corporation. These services comprised lending the services of two of its directors during the fiscal year in the finance and business development areas of the affiliate. The services were charged at the rate of $10,000 per month. The company earned $120,000 from similar services to the same corporation in the fiscal 2001.

The management services agreement was canceled effective October 1, 2001 which explains only six months revenue in fiscal 2002 compared to full year's revenue in fiscal 2001.

License and usage fees

There was no income from this source during the fiscal years 2003 and 2002.

During the fiscal 2001, The Company was able to license its database related to its commercial web site - IRCheck.com to Ontario affiliated Shareholder Corporation under a licensing agreement. A total of $151,508 was earned from this source.

The licensing agreement expired on March 31, 2001 and was not renewed for the fiscal 2002. The company was unable to update the database on a timely basis due to non-availability of funds, which was partly responsible for the termination of the agreement. As a result, no revenue was earned from this source during the fiscal 2002 and 2003.

Table of Contents

Other income

The other income totaled $15,256 in the fiscal 2003 compared to $6,860 in fiscal 2002 and $79,734 in fiscal 2001.

The other income in fiscal 2003 mainly comprised an exchange gain of $13,376. Improvement of Canadian dollar against US dollar during fiscal 2003 - from US$ 1 to CDN$ 1.60 at March 31, 2002 to CDN$ 1.47 at March 31, 2003 - resulted in our liabilities in US dollar being converted at the year end into lesser Canadian dollars than the recorded values.

The other income for fiscal 2002 comprised entirely of exchange gain.

The other income in fiscal 2001 included Interest earned of $15,383 on funds with the brokerage firms and interest charged on advances and balances receivable. These balances were almost eliminated by way of liquidation or equity adjustments during the fiscal 2002.

The remaining of the other income of $15,082 in fiscal 2001 related to a one-time facilitation fee earned.

Expenses

The overall analysis of the expenses is as follows:



	2003	2002	2001

Operating expenses	$242,788	$1,135,654	$688,513

Table of Contents

Travel, Meals and Entertainment

As the company was awaiting the results of the Biochex project, which was carried over from fiscal 2002, it did not undertake any new initiatives during fiscal 2003. This explains the significantly lower travel and entertainment.

During the fiscal 2002, the management continued to focus more on handling in -house projects and investments on hand than seeking new businesses due to lack of funding and adverse business climate. Hence travel, meals and entertainment costs declined in fiscal 2002 compared with those of fiscal 2001.

Consulting costs

Consulting fee for fiscal 2003 includes $92,682 - about 89% of total fee - charged by a shareholder under a Consulting agreement. The services provided included arranging non-interest bearing working capital funds, introduction to business opportunities and public relations. The Company had successfully used the services of this corporation in the past. Originally, the agreement provided for payment of US$10,000 per month. However, the fee was revised down to US$5,000 per month effective April 1, 2002.

Consulting fee for fiscal 2002 included about $94,000 (Fiscal 2001 : $0,493) fee from the above shareholder under a consulting agreement that was renewed at US$ 10,000 per month on October 1, 2001 and approx. $250,000 in fees paid to current and past executives and other consultants of the company for services rendered during current and past years.

Promotion Costs

There was no promotional activity during fiscal 2003.

Promotional costs for the fiscal 2002 consisted of $78,697US charged by a non-related European corporation, which was hired to conduct promotional work for the company and its projects in Europe for about six months.

Professional fees

Professional fees in fiscal 2003 were $45,339 compared to $133,152 in fiscal 2001 and $97,593 in fiscal 2001.

Fee for fiscal 2003 included audit fee and fees paid to a shareholder corporation for providing financial, accounting and corporate services of an executive director.

Table of Contents

Increase in professional fees in the fiscal 2002 was due to payment of $47,820 in common shares of the company for the services rendered during current and past years. These shares were registered under the Securities Act of 1933 by filing of Form S-8 on March 28, 2002.

Other professional fees comprise legal costs for filing of Form S-8 and audit costs.

Shareholders information

Fee for fiscal 2003 mainly includes fee of $60,000 for an investor relation services provided by an Ontario affiliated shareholder corporation at the fee of $10,000 per month, which is in line with the fees charged by the said firm to its other non related clients. The fee was only for the first six months period since the said contract was canceled effective October 1, 2002.

Total costs during the fiscal 2002 were $341,377 compared to $204,005 in fiscal 2001. Majority of these costs were incurred towards investor relations and other shareholder information promotion contracts signed with three public relation firms.

Other costs related to the costs of press releases, annual and special meeting of the shareholders and fees for various statutory filings with regulatory bodies in Canada and the USA.

Other operating costs

These costs include rent, telephone, Internet, transfer agents fees and other general and administration costs. Other operating costs in fiscal 2003 were $31,237 compared to $156,143 in fiscal 2002 and $164,955 in fiscal 2001.

Major item is rent, which declined from an average of $50,000 in 2002 and 2001 to $6,000 in 2003.

The company cancelled its existing lease and vacated its 5,000 sq.ft. leased premises at 65 Queen Street West in Toronto and moved as subtenant to under 300 sq ft of premises at 47 Avenue Road in Toronto without any long term lease commitment.

The above move together with substantial reduction in related office costs helped substantially reduce the overall operating costs and future operating cash requirements.

The company received a Notice of Termination dated February 6, 2003 from the landlord, wherein the landlord claimed rent arrears of $28,924 and current plus next three months rent and damage for the loss of rent for the remaining term of

Table of Contents

the lease. The management is of the opinion that they have a strong case against the landlord for not paying such rent and penalty and considers the existing provision of approx. $37,000 adequate to cover any liability arising from the lease termination.

Net loss on investments

The Company did not carry over any investments from the fiscal 2002 and no new investments were made in fiscal 2003.

The net loss in fiscal 2002 was $263,832 compared to $1,364,812 in the fiscal years 2001.

Project Development Costs

The Company carried over one project at the beginning of the fiscal 2003 - the Biochex Project.

Biochex.com is a project initiated by the Company's subsidiary, 1388755 Ontario Inc. The project involves the design and development of a prototype of a wireless and portable Internet appliance for medical data logging system.

During the current fiscal year, no further expenditure was incurred. The Company's application for an investment and innovation tax credit on the expenses incurred during the fiscal years 2001 and 2002 was approved and a refund of $49,202 was received during the year and was set off against the costs of the project.

At December 31, 2002, the management reviewed the status of the project. It concluded that the prototype was unlikely to be completed in the near future due to the fact that its completion date continued to be postponed for over a year. While the Chief Technology Officer maintained that his team was working on the prototype, no details were available of either the problems currently being encountered or the real state of the prototype. Management was unable to obtain any realisable value for the project at the period end and have therefore decided to write off the costs.

(B) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and working capital

Cash on hand at March 31, 2003 was $19,848 compared to $47,708 at March 31, 2002.

Table of Contents

Liquidity

The company currently has no sources of revenue which can generate funds for its operating and investing needs and relies entirely on advances from its shareholders to support its operational costs. While the management has made all efforts in minimizing its operational costs including the rental as explained above and estimates its operating cash requirement for the fiscal 2004 to be not more than $200,000, it is uncertain as to how much and how long it continues to receive advances from the shareholders or others in future.

The management hopes that its current financial consulting contract with a shareholder corporation which was renewed effective October 1, 2001, as explained earlier, will enable the company to obtain operational cash until alternative sources are found. However there is no guarantee that this will happen.

The Company has not paid any dividends on its Common Shares and does not currently intend to declare and pay dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

(B) SIGNIFICANT CHANGES

The following is a summary of significant changes since the date of the financial statements included in this annual report.

Changes in the business profile and corporate name change

The directors in their meeting in March 2003 concluded that the current business activities of the company did not prove to be profitable. The climate for new and emerging technology-based businesses continued to remain uncertain and extremely challenging and not conducive to attracting new capital.

It was therefore decided to move away from technology-oriented businesses and focus more on resource and other traditional sectors, which can benefit from evolving technologies.

The company changed its name to Bontan Corporation Inc. effective April 21, 2003.

Changes in Transfer Agent

The company changed its transfer agent on April 3, 2003 from CIBC Mellon Trust Company to Equity Transfer Services Inc. of Toronto, Canada. The details of our new transfer agents are as follows:

Jennifer Tan, Client Services
Equity Transfer Services Inc.
Suite 420
120 Adelaide Street West
Toronto, ON M5H 4C3
Tel: 416-361-0930 ext.269
Fax: 416-361-0470

Table of Contents

Reverse Stock Split

On April 21, 2003, the company carried out a reverse stock split under which one common share of Bontan Corporation Inc. would be issued for every seven common shares of Dealcheck.com Inc. The holders of less than 70 shares (under ten post-consolidated shares) will not be issued any shares of Bontan Corporation Inc. Instead, they will be entitled to a payment based on the average market price of the company's shares during the last three days from the date of the reverse split. The Company expects that approximately 500 shareholders would be affected by the cash-out option.

This restructuring of the company's capital stock was necessary to attract new capital.

Registration of Plans

On April 28, 2003, the company submitted a registration statement (Form S-8) with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register 3 million options under 1999 Stock Option Plan and 1,205,714 common shares under the 2001 Consultant Stock Compensation Plan. No options or shares have yet been issued under the respective plans.

These Plans would enable the company to hire right talents without significant cash outlay.

Private Placement

On April 28, 2003, the Company reached an agreement with certain arms-length accredited investors for a private placement of up to 7,143,000 (seven million one hundred forty three thousand) Units at US$0.35 per Unit for a gross proceeds of about US$2.5 million. Each Unit includes one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles its holder to acquire one common share of the company at a price of US$1.00 within twenty-four months of the date of issuance of the Unit. The proceeds will be used for working capital and for the acquisition and financing of an oil exploration project presently being negotiated by the Company.

As of June 16, 2003, 1,094,285 units were subscribed and the company received about US$383,000.

ITEM 10 - ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

(A) SHARE CAPITAL

Our authorized capital consists of unlimited number of Common Shares, without par value of which there were 7,226,630 issued and outstanding on March 31, 2003 (7,226,630 on March 31, 2002)

Table of Contents

Common Shares

The Directors may by resolution, and without further act of the shareholders, issue additional Common Shares from our authorized capital. All of our Common Shares are of the same class and, once issued, rank equally as to dividends, voting powers, and participation in the net assets on liquidation. Holders of Common Shares are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be acted on by the shareholders. Holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors, in its discretion, out of the profits of the Company. Our Articles of Association do not require us to declare dividends. Once a dividend is declared, it becomes an unsecured debt obligation of the Company to pay the amount to the registered holder of the shares on which such dividend was declared. The dividend does not bear interest against the Company and a shareholders entitlement to claim the dividend payment does not lapse unless limited by appli cable statutory limitation or unclaimed property legislation.

Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive pro rata the assets of the Company, if any, remaining after payments of all debts and liabilities and any amount owing as a preference or priority under any Class A Preferred Shares outstanding.

No Common Shares have been issued subject to call or assessment. There are no pre-emptive or conversion rights and no provisions for redemption or purchase of cancellation, surrender, or sinking or purchase funds attached to our outstanding Common Shares.

We may, by resolution of our Board of Directors, purchase any of our issued shares at the price and upon the terms specified in that resolution. Those shares may be held by us and resold or may be cancelled. To the extent we have re-purchased but not cancelled any of our outstanding Common Shares, we may not vote or pay or make any dividend or other distribution in respect of those Common Shares. As of March 31, 2003, we do not, directly or indirectly, hold any of our Common Shares.

(B) MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

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.

(C) MATERIAL CONTRACTS

Except for contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business, the Company has not entered into any material contracts in the preceding two years.

Table of Contents

(D) EXCHANGE CONTROLS

Other than those described below, there are currently no limitations imposed by Canadian federal or provincial laws on the rights of non-resident or foreign owners of Canadian securities to hold or vote the securities held. There are also no such limitations imposed by our memorandum and articles of association with respect to our Common Shares.

Investment Canada Act

Under the Investment Canada Act, the acquisition of control of a Canadian business by a "non-Canadian" is subject to review by the Investment Review Division of Industry Canada ("Investment Canada"), a government agency, and will not be allowed unless the investment is found likely to be of "net benefit" to Canada. An acquisition of control will be reviewable by Investment Canada if the value of the assets of the Canadian business for which control is being acquired is (1) $5 million or more in the case of a "direct" acquisition; (2) $50 million or more in the case of an "indirect" acquisition, which is a transaction involving the acquisition of the shares of a company incorporated outside of Canada which owns subsidiaries in Canada; or (3) between $5 million or more but less than $50 million where the Canadian assets acquired constitute more than 50% of the value of all entities acquired, or if the acquisition is not effected through the acquisition of co ntrol of a foreign corporation.

These thresholds have been increased for the purposes of acquisition of control of a Canadian business by investors from members of the World Trade Organization ("WTO"), including Americans, or WTO member-controlled companies. A direct acquisition by a WTO investor is reviewable only if it involves the direct acquisition of a Canadian business with assets of $209 million or more for the year 2001 (this figure is adjusted annually to reflect inflation). Indirect acquisitions by WTO investors are not reviewable unless the Canadian assets acquired constitute more than 50% of the asset value of all entities acquired, in which case the $209 million threshold applies.

These increased thresholds applicable to WTO investors do not apply to the acquisition of control of a Canadian business that is engaged in certain sensitive areas such as uranium production, financial services, transportation or culture. In the case of the acquisition of control of a cultural business, the Minister can elect to review the transaction even where it does not exceed the lower asset threshold test above. Even if the transaction is not reviewable, a non-Canadian must still give notice to Investment Canada of the acquisition of control of a Canadian business within 30 days after its completion.

Table of Contents

Competition Act

Under the Competition Act (Canada), certain transactions are subject to the pre-notification requirements of the Competition Act whereby notification of the transaction and specific information in connection therewith must be provided to the Commissioner of Competition. A transaction may not be completed until the applicable statutory waiting periods have expired, namely 14 days for a short-form filing or 42 days for a long-form filing. Where the parties elect to file a short-form notification, the Commissioner may convert the filing to a long-form, thereby restarting the clock once the parties submit their filing.

A proposed transaction is subject to pre-notification if the parties to the transaction together with their affiliates exceed two thresholds. First, the parties and their affiliates must have total assets or total revenues from sales in, from or into Canada that exceed $400 million in aggregate value. Having met this first threshold, the parties must then provide pre-notification if any one of the following additional thresholds is met: (1) for an acquisition of assets in Canada where the aggregate value of the assets or the gross revenues from sales in or from Canada that are being acquired exceeds $35 million (the "$35 million threshold"); (2) in the case of an acquisition of shares of a company in Canada, where as a result of the proposed acquisition, the person acquiring the shares, together with its affiliates, would own more than 20% (or, if the person making the acquisition already owns 20% or more of the voting shares of the target, then 50%) of the voting shares of a corporation that ar e publicly traded or, in the case of a company of which the shares are not publicly traded, the threshold is 35% of the voting shares (and 50% if the acquirer owns 35% or more of the voting shares of the subject company prior to making the acquisition) and the $35 million threshold is exceeded; or (3) in the case of a proposed amalgamation of two or more corporations where one or more of the amalgamating corporations carries on an operating business (either directly or indirectly) where the aggregate value of the assets in Canada that would be owned by the continuing corporation resulting from the amalgamation would exceed $70 million or the gross revenues from sales in or from Canada generated from the assets of the amalgamated entity would exceed $70 million.

Finally, all merger transactions, regardless of whether they are subject to pre-merger notification, are subject to the substantive provisions of the Competition Act, namely, whether the proposed merger prevents or lessens, or is likely to prevent or lessen, competition substantially in a relevant market.

(E) TAXATION

In this section we summarize the material U.S. federal and Canadian federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our Common Shares. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as tax advise, you must rely only on the advise of your own tax advisor. We make no assurances as to the applicability of any tax laws with respect to any individual investment. This summary relating to our Common Shares applies to beneficial owners who are individuals, corporations, trusts and estates which:


•	for purposes of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended through the date hereof (the "Code"), are U.S. persons and, for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Income Tax Act") and the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980), are non-residents of Canada and residents of the United States, respectively, at all relevant times;

•	hold Common Shares as capital assets for purposes of the Code and capital property for purposes of the Income Tax Act;

•	deal at arm's length with us for purposes of the Income Tax Act; and

•	do not and will not use or hold the Common Shares in carrying on a business in Canada.

We refer to persons who satisfy the above conditions as "Unconnected U.S. Shareholders."

The tax consequences of an investment in Common Shares by persons who are not Unconnected U.S. Shareholders may differ materially from the tax consequences discussed in this section. The Income Tax Act contains rules relating to securities held by some financial institutions. We do not discuss these rules, and holders that are financial institutions should consult their own tax advisors.

This discussion is based upon the following, all as currently in effect:


•	the Income Tax Act and regulations under the Income Tax Act;

•	the Code and Treasury regulations under the Code;

•	the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980);

•	the administrative policies and practices published by the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency, formerly Revenue Canada;

•	all specific proposals to amend the Income Tax Act and the regulations under the Income Tax Act that have been publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date of this report;

Table of Contents


•	the administrative policies published by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service; and

•	judicial decisions.

All of the foregoing are subject to change either prospectively or retroactively. We do not take into account the tax laws of the various provinces or territories of Canada or the tax laws of the various state and local jurisdictions of the United States or foreign jurisdictions.

This discussion summarizes the material U.S. federal and Canadian federal income tax considerations of the ownership and disposition of Common Shares. This discussion does not address all possible tax consequences relating to an investment in Common Shares. We have not taken into account your particular circumstances and do not address consequences peculiar to you if you are subject to special provisions of U.S. or Canadian income tax law (including, without limitation, dealers in securities or foreign currency, tax-exempt entities, banks, insurance companies or other financial institutions, persons that hold Common Shares as part of a "straddle," "hedge" or "conversion transaction," and Unconnected U.S. Shareholders that have a "functional currency" other than the U.S. dollar or that own Common Shares through a partnership or other pass-through entity). Therefore, you should consult your own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of purchasing Common Shares.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

Subject to the discussion below regarding Foreign Personal Holding Company Rules, Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules and Controlled Foreign Corporation Rules, this section summarizes U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the Common Shares.

As an Unconnected U.S. Shareholder, you generally will be required to include in income dividend distributions, if any, paid by us to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits attributable to the distribution as computed based on U.S. income tax principles. The amount of any cash distribution paid in Canadian dollars will be equal to the U.S. dollar value of the Canadian dollars on the date of distribution based on the exchange rate on such date, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted to U.S. dollars and without reduction for Canadian withholding tax. (For a discussion of Canadian withholding taxes applicable to dividends paid by us, see ""Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations.") You will generally be entitled to a foreign tax credit or deduction in an amount equal to the Canadian tax withheld. To the extent distributions paid by us on the Common Shares exceed our current or accumulated earnings and profits, they will be treated first as a r eturn of capital up to your adjusted tax basis in the shares and then as capital gain from the sale or exchange of the shares.

Table of Contents

Dividends paid by us generally will constitute foreign source dividend income and "passive income" for purposes of the foreign tax credit, which could reduce the amount of foreign tax credits available to you. The Code applies various limitations on the amount of foreign tax credits that may be available to a U.S. taxpayer.

Because of the complexity of those limitations, you should consult your own tax advisor with respect to the availability of foreign tax credits.

Dividends paid by us on the Common Shares generally will not be eligible for the "dividends received" deduction.

Dividends paid by us on the Common Shares generally will be subject to U.S. information reporting or the 31% backup withholding tax, unless you furnish the paying agent or middleman with a duly completed and signed Form W-9. You will be allowed a refund or a credit equal to any amount withheld under the U.S. backup withholding tax rules against your U.S. federal income tax liability, provided you furnish the required information to the Internal Revenue Service.

Foreign Personal Holding Company Rules

Special U.S. tax rules apply to a shareholder of a foreign personal holding company ("FPHC"). We would be classified as a FPHC in any taxable year if both of the following tests are satisfied:


•	five or fewer individuals who are U.S. citizens or residents own or are deemed to own more than 50% of the total voting power of all classes of our stock entitled to vote or the total value of our stock; and

•	at least 60% of our gross income consists of "foreign personal holding company income," which generally includes passive income such as dividends, interest, gains from the sale or exchange of stock or securities, rents and royalties.

We believe that we are not a FPHC. However, we cannot assure you that we will not be classified as a FPHC in the future.

Table of Contents

Personal Holding Company Rules

We will not be classified as a personal holding company a ("PHC") for U.S. federal income tax purposes unless at any time during the last half of our taxable year, five or fewer individuals (without regard to their citizenship or residency) own or are deemed to own (pursuant to certain attribution rules) more than 50% of our stock by value, and at least 60% of our ordinary gross income for the taxable year is "personal holding company" (generally passive income such as dividends and interest). We should not meet the PHC tests, and even if we were to become a PHC, we do not expect to have material undistributed PHC income. However, we cannot assure you that we will not become a PHC because of uncertainties regarding the application of the constructive ownership rules and the possibility of changes in our shareholder base and income or other circumstances that could change the application of the PHC rules to us. In addition, if we become a PHC we cannot assure that the amount of our PHC income will be immaterial.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

The passive foreign investment company ("PFIC") provisions of the Code can have significant tax effects on Unconnected U.S. Shareholders. We could be classified as a PFIC if, after the application of certain "look through" rules, for any taxable year, either:


•	75% or more of our gross income is "passive income," which includes interest, dividends and certain rents and royalties; or

•	the average quarterly percentage, by fair market value of our assets that produce or are held for the production of "passive income," is 50% or more of the fair market value of all our assets.

To the extent we own at least 25% by value of the stock of another corporation, we are treated for purposes of the PFIC tests as owning our proportionate share of the assets of such corporation, and as receiving directly our proportionate share of the income of such corporation.

Distributions which constitute "excess distributions" from a PFIC and dispositions of Common Shares of a PFIC are subject to the following special rules: (1) the excess distributions (generally any distributions received by an Unconnected U.S. Shareholder on the shares in any taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by such Unconnected U.S. Shareholder in the three preceding taxable years, or the Unconnected U.S. Shareholder's holding period for the shares, if shorter) or gain would be allocated ratably over an Unconnected U.S. Shareholder's holding period for the shares, (2) the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which we are a PFIC would be treated as ordinary income in the current taxable year and (3) the amount allocated to each of the other

Table of Contents

taxable years would be subject to the highest rate of tax on ordinary income in effect for that year and to an interest charge based on the value of the tax deferred during the period during which the shares are owned.

Subject to specific limitations, Unconnected U.S. Shareholders who actually or constructively own marketable shares in a PFIC may make an election under section 1296 of the Code to mark those shares to market annually, rather than being subject to the above-described rules. Amounts included in or deducted from income under this mark-to-market election and actual gains and losses realized upon disposition, subject to specific limitations, will be treated as ordinary gains or losses. For this purpose, we believe that our shares will be treated as "marketable securities" within the meaning of Section 1296(e)(1) of the Code.

We believe that we will not be a PFIC for the current fiscal year and we do not expect to become a PFIC in future years. Whether we are a PFIC in any year and the tax consequences relating to PFIC status will depend on the composition of our income and assets, including cash. You should be aware, however, that if we are or become a PFIC we may not be able or willing to satisfy record-keeping requirements that would enable you to make a "qualified electing fund" election.

You should consult your tax advisor with respect to how the PFIC rules affect your tax situation.

Controlled Foreign Corporation Rules

If more than 50% of the voting power or total value of all classes of our shares is owned, directly or indirectly, by U.S. shareholders, each of which owns 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our shares, we could be treated as a controlled foreign corporation ("CFC") under Subpart F of the Code. This classification would require such 10% or greater shareholders to include in income their pro rata shares of our "Subpart F Income," as defined in the Code. In addition, under Section 1248 of the Code, gain from the sale or exchange of shares by an Unconnected U.S. Shareholder who is or was a 10% or greater shareholder at any time during the five year period ending with the sale or exchange will be ordinary dividend income to the extent of our earnings and profits attributable to the shares sold or exchanged.

We believe that we are not a CFC, however, we cannot assure you that we will not become a CFC in the future.

Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations

In this section, we summarize the material anticipated Canadian federal income tax considerations relevant to the ownership and disposition of the Common Shares.

Table of Contents

Under the Income Tax Act, assuming you are an Unconnected U.S. Shareholder, and provided the Common Shares are listed on a prescribed stock exchange, which includes the Toronto Stock Exchange and the AMEX, you will generally not be subject to Canadian tax on a capital gain realized on an actual or deemed disposition of the Common Shares unless you alone or together with persons with whom you did not deal at arm's length owned or had rights to acquire 25% or more of our issued shares of any class at any time during the sixty (60) month period before the actual or deemed disposition.

Dividends paid, credited or deemed to have been paid or credited on the Common Shares to Unconnected U.S. Shareholders will be subject to a Canadian withholding tax under the Income Tax Act at a rate of 25% of the gross amount of the dividends. Under the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980), the rate of withholding tax on dividends generally applicable to Unconnected U.S. Shareholders who beneficially own the dividends is reduced to 15%. In the case of Unconnected U.S. Shareholders that are corporations that beneficially own at least 10% of our voting shares, the rate of withholding tax on dividends generally is reduced to 5%. United States limited liability companies ("LLCs") will not be entitled to these reduced rates. Shareholders that are partnerships will be subject to the 25% rate unless the partnership applies for and receives written authority for us to reduce the withholding tax rate.

Canada does not currently impose any federal estate taxes or succession duties. However, if you die, there is a deemed disposition of the Common Shares held at that time for proceeds of disposition generally equal to the fair market value of the Common Shares immediately before the death. Capital gains realized on the deemed disposition, if any, will have the income tax consequences described above.

THE FOREGOING SUMMARY DOES NOT DISCUSS ALL ASPECTS OF CANADIAN OR US FEDERAL INCOME TAXATION THAT MAY BE RELEVANT TO A PARTICULAR HOLDER OF COMMON STOCK IN LIGHT OF SUCH HOLDER'S PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES AND INCOME TAX SITUATION. HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES THAT WOULD RESULT FROM THEIR OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF COMMON STOCK OF THE COMPANY, INCLUDING THE APPLICATION AND EFFECT OF STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN

AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Shareholders of
Dealcheck.com Inc.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Dealcheck.com Inc. as at March 31, 2003 and 2002 and the consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and shareholders' deficit for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and United States generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the company as at March 31, 2003 and 2002 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

Canadian generally accepted accounting principles vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States would have affected results of operations for the year ended March 31, 2003 and the shareholders' equity as at that date to the extent summarised in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements.

Comments by Auditor on Canada-United States Reporting Difference

United States reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when the financial statements are affected by conditions and events that cast substantial doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern, such as those described in Note 1 to the financial statements.

Although we conducted our audits in accordance with both Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and United States generally accepted auditing standards, our report to the shareholders dated June 16, 2003 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not permit a reference to such conditions and events in the auditors' report when these are adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Dealcheck.com Inc. ("the Company") is a business development and services Company. The Company's business development strategy includes development and operations of wholly owned business concepts as well as investing in existing as well as new and emerging companies that have demonstrated strong growth potentials. In addition the Company offers business services to its investees and related companies. The Company's strategy also envisions and promotes opportunities for synergistic business relationships among the companies within its portfolio.

GOING CONCERN

These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which presumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future.

As at March 31, 2003, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $314,491, has incurred a net loss of $319,363 for the year ended March 31, 2003, and has an accumulated deficit of $20,707,597.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is uncertain and is dependent on achieving profitable operations, the outcome of which cannot be predicted at this time. Accordingly, the Company will require, for the foreseeable future, ongoing capital infusions in order to continue its operations and ensure orderly realization of its assets at their carrying value. The consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments in carrying values and classifications of assets and liabilities that would be necessary should the Company not be able to continue in the normal course of operations.

The Company is not expected to be profitable during the ensuing twelve months and therefore must rely on securing additional funds from existing shareholders and by the issuance of shares of the Company for cash consideration.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada which do not materially differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) except as described in Note 14 "Differences from United States Accounting Principles".

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and it's wholly owned subsidiaries - Foodquest Inc., inactive since 1998, and 1388755 Ontario Inc., in development stage. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont'd)

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Product Development

Product development costs related to research, design and development of the web site and other technical projects, which are intended to generate revenue in future are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of the project not exceeding three years. Amortization commences when the project becomes commercially active. The development costs will be written off when it is determined that they are not recoverable or when the project is abandoned.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets are translated at exchange rates in effect when they were acquired. Revenue and expenses are translated at the approximate average rate of exchange for the year, except that amortization is translated at the rates used to translate related assets. The resulting gains or losses on translation are included in the consolidated statement of operations.

Future Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, as well as for the benefit of losses available to be carried forward to future years for tax purposes. Future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Future income tax assets are recognized in the financial statements if realization is considered more likely than not.

Stock-Based Compensation Plan

During the year ended March 31, 2003, the Company adopted CICA Handbook Section 3870 Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments which establishes standards for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments made in exchange for goods and services provided by employees and non-employees. The standard requires that a fair value based method of accounting be applied to all stock-based payments to non-employees and to employee awards that are direct awards of stock that call for settlement in cash and other assets or are stock appreciation rights that call for settlement by the issuance of equity instruments. The new standard permits the Company to continue its existing policy of recording no compensation cost on the grant of stock options to employees but to disclose on a pro forma basis net earnings and earnings per share had the Company adopted the fair value method for accounting for options granted to employees. No restatement of prior periods will be required as a result of the adoption of the new standard.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont'd)

Government Assistance

Government assistance consisting of investment tax credits is accrued when qualifying expenditures are made and there is reasonable assurance that the credits will be realized. The Company accounts for the investment tax credits using the cost reduction method.

Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss (the numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the dilution that would occur if outstanding stock options and share purchase warrants were exercised or converted into common shares using the treasury stock method and are calculated by dividing net loss applicable to common shares by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and all additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares had been issued.

The inclusion of the Company's stock options and share purchase warrants in the computation of diluted loss per share would have an anti-dilutive effect on loss per share and are therefore excluded from the computation. Consequently, there is no difference between basic loss per share and diluted loss per share.

(i) Biochex.com is a project initiated by the Company's subsidiary, 1388755 Ontario Inc. The project involves the design and development of a prototype of a wireless and portable Internet appliance for medical data logging system.

During the current fiscal year, no further expenditure was incurred. The company's application for an investment and innovation tax credit on the expenses incurred during the fiscal years 2001 and 2002 was approved and a refund of $49,202 was received during the year and was set off against the costs of the project.

At December 31, 2002, the management reviewed the status of the project. It concluded that the prototype was unlikely to be completed in the near future due to the fact that its completion date continued to be postponed for over a year. While the Chief Technology Officer maintained that his team was working on the prototype, no details were available of either the problems currently being encountered or the real state of the prototype. Management was unable to obtain any realisable value for the project at the period end and have therefore decided to write off the costs.

(ii) IRCheck.com web site provides a comprehensive database of investor relation firms. The costs incurred to date represent web site design and development costs. Management has been unable to find a licensee and is not able to maintain the database. Accordingly, the balance has been fully written off.

6. STOCK OPTION PLAN

(i) On November 15, 1999, the shareholders approved the creation of the "1999 Stock Option Plan" pursuant to which the directors were authorized to issue stock options from time to time to employees, officers, consultants and directors of the Company up to 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company at the time of such issue, at a minimum price allowed under the applicable securities laws. At the annual general and special meeting held on November 13, 2000, the shareholders approved an increase in the limit of maximum number of stock options to 25% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the corporation at the time of such issue.

No options were allowed under the Plan during the year and no options are outstanding at the year-end.

(ii) In the Special and Annual General Meeting held on October 30, 2001, the shareholders approved the creation of the "2001 Consultants' Stock Compensation Plan" to compensate consultants and contractors who have provided bona fide services to the Corporation through the award of up to 10 million common shares of the Corporation and authorised the directors to implement the said plan.

The Plan was adopted by the board of directors in their meeting on November 1, 2001.

No shares have been issued under the Plan during the year.

8. INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate of nil (2002 - nil) for income taxes varies from the statutory income tax rate of 38% (2002 - 44%) due to the fact that no tax recoveries have been recorded for losses incurred, as management has not determined it is more likely than not that the losses will be utilized before they expire.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

(a) The Company entered into a consulting agreement with a shareholder corporation on October 1, 2001. The agreement required the corporation to provide financial services. The consulting fee was US $10,000 per month payable in advance. The agreement expires on March 31, 2003 and is subject to automatic renewal unless cancelled in writing by either party. However, the fee was revised down to US $5,000 per month effective April 1, 2002.

(b) The Company received a Notice of Termination dated February 6, 2003 from a previous landlord, wherein the landlord claimed rent arrears of $28,924 and current plus next three months rent and damage for the loss of rent for the remaining term of the lease. The management is of the opinion that they have a strong case against the landlord for not paying such rent and penalty and considers the existing provision of approx. $37,000 adequate to cover any liability arising from the lease termination.

(c) The Company entered into consulting contracts with two executive directors for five year term up to March 31, 2005. The contracts provide for a lump sum compensation of $250,000 each for early termination of the contract without cause.

13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value for all financial assets and liabilities are considered to approximate their carrying values due to this short-term nature.

14. CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Product Development Costs

The costs of developing the commercial web sites and technical projects are allowed to be deferred under the Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. However, these costs should be expensed under US GAAP. Accordingly, under the US GAAP, net loss for year would be $230,274 (2002 - $ 1,358,366). Total assets would be $ 28,676 (2002 - $68,305) and deficit would be $20,707,597 (2002 - $20,526,525).

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for common stock purchase options and warrants granted to nonemployees pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (FAS No.123) and Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services." These standards require that the fair value of equity instruments, including options and warrants, be recognized in the financial statements. FAS No. 123 permits a company to account for employee stock options under the method specified by the previous standard, Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB No.25"), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Under APB No.25, if the exercise price of fixed employee stock options equals or exceeds the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recorded. For such options, FAS No.123 requires disclosure of, among other things, the fair value of options granted, the assumptions used in determining the fair value and the pro-forma effect on earnings as if measurement provisions of FAS No. 123 had been applied. The Company will apply the measurement principles of APB No.25, supplemented by the required FAS No.123 disclosures, for any stock options it grants to employees in the future.

Recent Accounting Development

In June 2001, SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations", was approved and requires that the fair value of an asset retirement obligation be recorded as a liability, at fair value, in the period in which the Company incurs the obligation. SFAS No. 143 is effective for the Company's fiscal year commencing November 1, 2003. The Company expects the adoption of this standard will have no material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

14. CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (Cont'd)

Recent Accounting Development (Cont'd)

In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 141, "Business Combinations", and Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets". These statements are substantially consistent with CICA Sections 1581 and 3062 (refer to note 1(o)) except that under United States GAAP, any transitional impairment charge is recognized in earnings as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Under Canadian GAAP, the cumulative adjustment is recognized in opening retained earnings. The Company does not anticipate that the implementation of these rules will have a material impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In October 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", which retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 for recognizing and measuring impairment losses of long-lived assets other than goodwill. Statement No. 144 also broadens the definition of discontinued operations to include all distinguishable components of an entity that will be eliminated from ongoing operations. This Statement is effective for the Company's fiscal year commencing November 1, 2002, to be applied prospectively. The Company expects the adoption of this standard will have no material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" ("FAS 146") which is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. FAS 146 requires that a liability be recognized for exit or disposal costs only when the liability is incurred, as defined in the FASB's conceptual framework rather than when a company commits to an exit plan, and that the liability be initially measured at fair value. The Company does not anticipate that the implementation of these rules will have a material impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board Issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" (the "Interpretation"), which addresses the disclosure to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under guarantees. The Interpretation requires the guarantor to recognise a liability for the non-contingent component of the guarantee. This is the obligation to stand ready to perform in the event that specified triggering events or conditions occur. The initial measurement of this liability is the fair value of the guarantee at inception. The recognition of the liability is required even it is not probable that payments will be required under the guarantee or if the guarantee was issued with a premium payment or as part of a transaction with multiple elements. The statement is effective for the Company's fiscal year commencing November 1, 2002. The Company does not anticipate that the implementation of these rules will have a material impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2002, Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 145 was issued rescinding the requirement to include gains and losses on the settlement of debt as extraordinary items. FAS 145 are applicable for fiscal years beginning on or after May 15, 2002. The Company with no impact has adopted the standard.

14. CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (Cont'd)

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation ("FIN") No. 46, Consolidation Of Variable Interest Entities, which requires variable interest entities (commonly referred to as SPEs) to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if certain criteria are met. FIN No. 46 is effective immediately for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. The adoption of this statement does not impact the Company's historical or present financial statements, as the Company has not created or acquired any variable interest entities, nor does it expect to in the future.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148 Accounting For Stock-based Compensation, Transition and Disclosure. SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stockbased employee compensation. SFAS No. 148 also requires that disclosures of the pro forma effect of using the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation be displayed more prominently and in a tabular format. Additionally, SFAS No. 148 requires disclosure of the pro forma effect in interim financial statements. The transition and annual interim disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148 are effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 148 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company will modify its disclosures in its quarterly reports, as provided for in the new standard.

In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a consensus of EITF No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. EITF No. 00-21 provides guidance on how to account for arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and or rights to use assets. The provisions of EITF No. 00-21 will apply to revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company believes that its current accounting is consistent with the provisions of EITF 00-21 and therefore does not expect that the application of the provisions of EITF 00-21 will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF No. 02-16, Accounting For Consideration Received From A Vendor By A Customer. EITF No. 02-16 provides guidance as to how customers should account for cash consideration received from a vendor. EITF No. 02-16 presumes that cash received from a vendor represents a reduction of the prices of the vendor's products or services, unless the cash received represents a payment for assets or services provided to the vendor or a reimbursement of costs incurred by the customer to sell the vendor's products. The provisions of EITF No. 02-16 will apply to all agreements entered into or modified after December 31, 2002. Management does not expect the provisions of EITF No. 02-16 to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

14. CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (Cont'd)

Comprehensive Income

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS No. 130), which establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income. This standard defines comprehensive income as the changes in equity of an enterprise, except those resulting from shareholder transactions. For the years ended March 31, 2003,2002 and 2001, there is no difference between net loss and comprehensive loss.

15. SIGNIFICANT POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS

The following is a summary of key corporate changes and other significant events that happened after March 31, 2003:


a.		On April 21, 2003, the company changed its name to Bontan Corporation Inc.

b.		On April 21, 2003, the company carried out a reverse stock split under which one common share of Bontan Corporation Inc. would be issued for every seven common shares of Dealcheck.com Inc. The holders of less than 70 shares (under ten postconsolidated shares) will not be issued any shares of Bontan Corporation Inc., instead, they will be entitled to a payment based on the average market price of the company's shares during the last three days from the date of the reverse split. The Company expects that approximately 500 shareholders would be affected by the cash-out option.

c.		On April 28, 2003, the company submitted a registration statement (Form S-8) with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register 3 million options under 1999 Stock Option Plan and 1,205,714 common shares under the 2001 Consultant Stock Compensation Plan. No options or shares have yet been issued under the respective plans.

d.		On April 28, 2003, the Company reached an agreement with certain arms-length accredited investors for a private placement of up to 7,143,000 (seven million one hundred forty three thousand) Units at US$0.35 per Unit for a gross proceeds of about US$2.5 million. Each Unit includes one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles its holder to acquire one common share of the company at a price of US$1.00 within twenty-four months of the date of issuance of the Unit. The proceeds will be used for working capital and for the acquisition and financing of an oil exploration project presently being negotiated by the Company.

		As of June 16, 2003, 1,094,285 units were subscribed and the company received about US$383,000.
