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 subsidiary.

(b)

our reference to “Israeli project” in this report refers to our 5.23% indirect working interest in two offshore drilling licenses in Israel – petroleum license 347 (‘Myra”) and 348 (“Sara”) covering approximately 198,000 acres, 40 kilometers off the West coast of Israel. This interest is derived from our holding of 76.79% equity in IPC Cayman which in turn holds 50% partnership share in IPC Oil & Gas (Israel) Limited Partnership, 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 IPC Cayman holds 50% partnership interest as limited partner.

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 70% of its common stock is held by non-United States citizens and residents and our business is administered principally 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.

(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 incurred significant operating losses. It is unlikely that we will generate significant revenues while we seek to complete our exploration and development activities in the offshore Israel project. As of March 31, 2011 we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $41 million. We do not have any proved reserves or current production of oil or gas. Our success is substantially dependent upon on the successful exploration, drilling and development of the offshore Israel project. We cannot assure you that we will be profitable in the future.

Our consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2011 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 and successfully win various litigations against the manager of our subsidiary, IPC Cayman to preserve our interest in the offshore Israeli project. 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.

An adverse outcome, and the substantial costs, with respect to our pending lawsuits with Mr. Cooper could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We currently are in litigation with Mr. Howard Cooper, ITC and IPC Cayman as regards costs incurred and compliance with the terms of the Contribution and Assignment Agreement and Stockholders Agreement as well as the proposed Shaldieli transaction. We are also trying to resolve these disputes through negotiation. There is no guarantee that legal actions taken so far will result in our favour or negotiations will be successful or favourable to us. The outcome of the disputes or the litigation cannot be predicted. These legal actions,, if they continue, will result in substantial costs and diversion of resources. An adverse outcome in these disputes could cause us to lose our interest in the licenses and write off our investments.

IPC Cayman is a newly formed development stage company with no operating history.

IPC Cayman, the company in which we acquired a 76.79% equity interest, is newly formed and has no operating history. Its operations will be subject to all of the risks inherent in exploration stage companies with no revenues or operating history. Its potential for success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with a new business, especially the oil and natural gas exploration business. No assurance can be given that any particular investment return will be achieved.

We will be substantially dependent upon our joint venture partners to develop the offshore Israel project.

We will be substantially dependent on IPC Cayman and our other joint venture partners and their respective affiliates to develop the offshore Israel project. We will not control the management or operations of the offshore Israel project.

Investments in joint ventures may, under certain circumstances, involve risks not present were a third party not involved, including the possibility that joint venture partners might become bankrupt or fail to fund their share of financial commitments. Joint venture partners may have economic or other business interests or goals which are inconsistent with our business interests or goals, and may be in a position to take actions contrary to our interests or objectives, and they may have competing interests in our markets that could create conflict of interest issues. Such investments may also have the potential risk of impasses on decisions, such as a sale, because neither we nor our joint venture partners would have full control over the joint venture. Disputes between us and our joint venture partners may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and prevent our officers and/or directors from focusing their time and effort on our business. Our investment in the offshore Israel project may exceed returns from the project.

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 interest, and we own an indirect minority 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.

Drilling on the Myra and Sara licenses must commence by January 1, 2012 or the licenses could be forfeited.

Our joint venture must commence test well drilling on one of the Myra and Sara licenses on or before January 1, 2012 or the licenses could be forfeited. Drilling on the second well on the remaining license must commence immediately on completion of the first well drilling. If our joint venture fails to drill timely wells before the license expiration, we will lose the drilling opportunities and our investment in the expired licenses.

Prospects that our joint venture decides to drill may not yield natural gas or oil in commercially viable quantities.

The joint venture is conducting seismic surveys and other geological and geophysical analysis to identify and develop prospects in the areas covered by the Myra and Sara licenses. A prospect is a property on which indications of natural gas and oil have been identified based on available seismic and geological information and analyses. The prospects will require substantial additional seismic data processing and interpretation. However, the use of seismic data and other technologies and the study of data in the same and nearby areas will not enable the joint venture to know conclusively prior to drilling and testing whether natural gas or oil will be present or, if present, whether natural gas or oil will be present in sufficient quantities to recover drilling or completion costs or to be economically viable. If the seismic and other data are inconclusive or unsatisfactory, the joint venture may not be able to attract industry partners to conduct exploratory drilling on its properties.

There is currently no infrastructure to market oil or gas if hydrocarbons are discovered.

The Myra and Sara licenses are located in an area of the eastern Mediterranean where there has not previously been production of oil and gas. Accordingly, there is not currently any infrastructure in place to market oil or gas if hydrocarbons are discovered. The Israeli government will have to approve the installation of infrastructure, and the construction of infrastructure will require significant capital investment.

Failure to fund capital expenditures could adversely affect our properties interests.

The oil and gas industry is capital intensive. The joint venture’s exploration and development activities will require substantial capital expenditures to meet requirements in the licenses. Although IPC Cayman’s share of the drilling and related exploration costs of the initial two exploratory wells under the Myra and Sara licenses will be covered by the US$ 28 million contribution to be made by Ofer under the Ofer agreement, we will however be responsible to the extent of our share of IPC Cayman’s commitment for any overruns in the drilling and related exploration costs of the initial two wells as well as the costs of any subsequent wells.

We do not expect that debt financing will be available to us or any of our joint venture partners to support exploratory operations of the type required to establish commercial viability of the properties. Cash flows from the offshore Israel project will be subject to a number of variables, such as the success of drilling operations, production levels from successful wells, prices of crude oil and natural gas, availability of infrastructure and markets, and costs of services and equipment. In addition, our joint venture partners could seek farm out arrangements with third parties. These farm outs could result in us giving up a substantial interest in the oil and gas properties, comprising two licenses for offshore exploration for gas and/or oil, we have acquired. If we or IPC Cayman are not able to fund our or its share of capital expenditures, our interests in the properties might be reduced or forfeited as a result.

Market conditions could impede access to capital or increase the cost of capital, which could significantly impede development of the offshore Israel project.

The oil and gas industry is cyclical in nature and tends to reflect general economic conditions. Recent and continuing disruptions and volatility in the global financial markets may, among other things, make it more difficult for us and our joint venture partners to obtain, or increase the cost of obtaining, capital and financing for the offshore Israel project. Access to additional capital may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. Difficulties in obtaining capital and financing or increased costs for obtaining capital and financing could significantly delay development of our property interests.

Our business is not geographically diversified.

Our property interests are located off the west coast of Israel. We currently own no other working interests, leases or properties. As a result, our current business will be concentrated in the same geographic region. Our success or failure will be dependent upon the drilling and production results of any wells identified on the offshore Israel properties.

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.

The effect of these factors is magnified by the concentration of our interests in Israel, where some of these forces could have disproportionate impact, such as war, terrorist acts or civil disturbances, changes in regulations and taxation policies by the Israeli government, exchange rate fluctuations, laws and policies of Israel affecting foreign investment, trade and business conduct and the availability of pipeline capacity and infrastructure.

A significant or extended decline in oil and natural gas prices may have a material adverse effect on our and IPC Cayman’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, ability to finance planned capital expenditures or ability to secure funding from industry partners.

Exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas are high risk activities with many uncertainties that could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

The joint venture’s drilling and operating activities will be subject to many risks, including the risk that commercially productive wells will not be discovered. Drilling activities may be unprofitable, not only from dry holes but also from productive wells that do not generate sufficient revenues to return a profit. In addition, drilling and producing operations may be curtailed, delayed or canceled as a result of other factors, including:

	·	environmental hazards, such as natural gas leaks, pipeline ruptures and spills;
	·	fires;
	·	explosions, blowouts and cratering;
	·	unexpected or unusual formations;
	·	pressures;
	·	facility or equipment malfunctions;
	·	unexpected operational events;
	·	shortages of skilled personnel;
	·	shortages or delivery delays of drilling rigs and equipment;
	·	compliance with environmental and other regulatory requirements;
	·	adverse weather conditions; and
	·	natural disasters.

Any of these risks could adversely affect operations or result in substantial losses as a result of personal injury or loss of life; severe damage to or destruction of property and equipment; pollution; environmental contamination; repair and remediation costs; loss of wells; and regulatory fines and penalties. Uninsured liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We will be subject to various governmental regulations which may result on material liabilities and costs.

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.

We and our joint venture partners are subject to laws and regulations promulgated by the State of Israel relating to the exploration for, and the development, production and marketing of, oil and natural gas, as well as safety matters. Legal requirements can change and are subject to interpretation and we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance with these requirements or their effect on the offshore Israel project. We and our joint venture partners may be required to make significant expenditures to comply with governmental laws and regulations.

We and our joint venture partners are subject to Israeli environmental laws and regulations. Because of the recent nature of the discoveries in the eastern Mediterranean and the absence of production, there has not been consideration of the impact that operations in this area may have on environmental laws and regulations, which could be changed in ways that could negatively impact the offshore Israel project. The discharge of natural gas, oil, or other pollutants into the air, soil or water may give rise to significant liabilities and may require us and our joint venture partners to incur substantial costs of remediation. In addition, we and our joint venture partners may incur costs and penalties in addressing regulatory agency procedures involving instances of possible non-compliance. The financial implications, if any, cannot be estimated at this stage.

Potential regulations regarding climate change could alter the way the joint venture conducts business.

As awareness of climate change issues increases, governments around the world are beginning to address the matter. This may result in new environmental regulations that may unfavorably impact us and our joint venture partners. The cost of meeting these requirements may have an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The potential lack of availability or high cost of drilling rigs, equipment, supplies, personnel and other oil field services could adversely affect the joint venture’s ability to execute exploration and development plans on a timely basis and within budget.

From time to time, there is a shortage of drilling rigs, equipment, supplies or qualified personnel in the oil and natural gas industry. During these periods, the costs of rigs, equipment and supplies are substantially greater and their availability may be limited, particularly in international locations that typically have more limited availability of equipment and personnel, such as Israel. During periods of increasing levels of exploration and production in response to strong demand for oil and natural gas, the demand for oilfield services and the costs of these services increase. Additionally, these services may not be available on commercially reasonable terms.

Risks Related to the Manager of IPC Cayman

We have limited control over the management of IPC Cayman

Under the agreement between us and ITC, we have limited authority to participate in the management of IPC Cayman. Our rights as the holder of a majority of the shares of IPC Cayman will include the right to approve:

Expansion of the scope of IPC Cayman’s business beyond the acquisition, development and potential farm out or sale of the Myra and Sara licenses and Benjamin permit and any license that may be issued in lieu of such permit and any other oil and gas exploration and development activity within the offshore or onshore areas of the State of Israel;

Sale or merger of IPC Cayman or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of IPC Cayman (other than a sale or farm out to an industry partner in connection with a commitment to conduct exploratory or development operations on the licenses and permit);

Admit additional owners to IPC Cayman;

Liquidate IPC Cayman;

Enter into any contract or agreement between IPC Cayman and ITC or any affiliate;

Modify any compensation arrangement between IPC Cayman and ITC and any affiliate; and

Amend the organizational and internal operating documents of IPC Cayman.

Other than those specified rights, ITC as the sole director of IPC Cayman will have the right to make operational decisions with respect to matters affecting the exploration and development of the licenses, including farming out or otherwise disposing of interests to third parties who will agree to assume the obligations to conduct required exploratory and development operations at their cost.

We have no control over the management of IPC Oil and Gas (Israel) Limited Partnership (“IPC Israel”)

On May 18, 2010, IPC Cayman established a limited partnership in Israel and transferred all assets and liabilities to IPC Israel. IPC Cayman owns 99.99% of IPC Israel and is a limited partner while ITC owns the balance 0.001% and is a general partner. This was done by the Manager of IPC without our consent or knowledge. However, as a result, we have lost financial control over IPC and may therefore be subject to unilateral actions by the manager of IPC Cayman some of which may not be to our interest.

There is no guarantee that IPC Cayman will make cash distributions to its owners, including us.

Cash distributions are not guaranteed and will depend on future drilling and operating activities and performance of the offshore Israel project. The director of IPC Cayman has the authority to authorize and to make any distributions to its stockholders at such times and in such amounts as the director deems advisable. You may receive little or no return on your investment in us.

Conflicts of interest may arise.

Conflicts of interest may arise because of the relationships between and among IPC Cayman, ITC and us. The interests of ITC may not coincide with the interests of us and our shareholders. In addition, ITC and its majority member, H. Howard Cooper, may experience conflicts of interest in allocating their time and resources between IPC Cayman and other businesses, including other oil and gas projects. The organizational documents do not restrict ITC and its affiliates from engaging in other business activities or specify any minimum amount of time that ITC and its affiliates are required to devote to IPC Cayman.

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 December 31,2010, we had outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 73,071,420 common shares and outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of 5,775,000 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.

We expect to raise additional funds by issuing our stock which will dilute your ownership.

We expect that we will likely issue a substantial number of shares of our capital stock in the future. Under these arrangements, we may agree to register the shares for resale soon after their issuance. The sale of additional shares could lower the value of your shares by diluting your ownership interest in us and reducing your voting power. Shareholders have no pre-emptive rights.

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 November 2009, we acquired (through our wholly owned subsidiary) an indirect 71.63% working interest in two drilling licenses and one exploration permit 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, and the exploration permit, Petroleum Preliminary Permit 199 (“Benjamin”), covers approximately 461,000 acres of submerged land adjacent to the land covered by the licenses. Our working interest was held in the form of a 75% equity interest in IPC Cayman, a Cayman Islands limited company that was formed to explore and develop the properties off the coast of Israel. Subsequently, disputes arose with respect to the transfer of rights in the two drilling licenses and the exploration permit to IPC Cayman and the Benjamin permit was lost in February 2010 due to the failure to timely submit the required seismic data to the Israel Petroleum Commissioner. In March 2010, IPC Cayman entered into an Allocation of Rights and Settlement Agreement with the Lead Investors and others under which, among other things, the Lead Investors acquired a greater than 50% working interest in the Mira and Sarah licenses for approximately USD $16.2 million. The sale proceeds were used primarily used to pay for the seismic data relating to the two drilling licenses and the permit and to settle various disputes with PetroMed Corporation, the original registered owner of a 95.5% working interest in the two drilling licenses and the permit.

Under the terms of an agreement dated April 14, 2010, International Three Crown Petroleum LLC (or ITC) is deemed to own a 23.21% equity interest in IPC Cayman represented by 2,321 ordinary shares of IPC Cayman and Bontan is deemed to own a 76.79% equity interest in IPC Cayman represented by 7,679 ordinary shares of IPC Cayman. Allied Ventures Incorporated is deemed not to have owned or to ever have owned any equity interest in IPC Cayman.

We currently own an indirect 5.23% working interest in the two drilling licenses through our 76.79% equity interest in IPC Cayman. ITC and an affiliated entity, JKP, own the balance of the 23.21% equity interest in IPC Cayman. ITC is representing our interest in the offshore Israel project through its participation in the operating committee that has been formed to govern activities with respect to the two drilling licenses.

In connection with the acquisition of our equity interest in IPC Cayman and as consideration for the PetroMed Corporation’s sale of its interest in the licenses and permit in November 2009, we originally paid to the seller USD $850,000 in cash, 8,617,686 common shares and a 7-year warrant to purchase 22,853,058 common shares, and paid USD $500,000 to International Three Crown Petroleum LLC. In addition, we issued a 5-year warrant to purchase up to 5,000,000 common shares to International Three Crown Petroleum LLC and a 5-year warrant to purchase up to 2,000,000 common shares to Allied Ventures Ltd. These 5-year warrants have an exercise price of USD $0.35 per share and cashless exercise option. Under the Allocation of Rights and Settlement Agreement, we cancelled the 8,617,686 common shares and the warrant to purchase 22,853,058 common shares issued to PetroMed Corporation.

To cover a portion of our acquisition costs, we also issued promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of USD $975,000, together with 5-year warrants to purchase a total of 1,125,000 common shares at an exercise price of USD $0.35 per share. One note is secured by a pledge of our 1,125 shares of IPC Cayman.

In addition, we paid USD $1.5 million to IPC Cayman for its operational costs and approximately USD $2 million to Western Geco International Ltd. towards the cost of the seismic data.

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 are currently focused on the offshore Israel project which currently includes the Mira and Sarah licenses. We currently are not seeking to acquire additional property interests in Israel or any other region or to pursue other business opportunities. Our goal is to advance offshore Israel project to the drilling stage aggressively, as prudent financing will allow us to determine the presence of oil or natural gas. If we are successful in doing so, we believe our joint venture partners can attract the attention of the existing oil and gas companies already operating in the region or new oil and gas companies to enter into a development agreement or farm out agreement.

Background and Status of Offshore Israel Project

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.

Under Section 76(a) of the Israel Petroleum Law, the permit may be transferred only with the permission of the Petroleum Commissioner and the licenses may be transferred only with the permission of the Petroleum Commissioner and after the Petroleum Commissioner’s consultation with the Petroleum Council. Accordingly, on January 18, 2010, IPC Cayman filed applications with the Petroleum Commissioner to transfer the licenses and permit, with the application to transfer the permit also including an application to be granted a license based on the permit and its attending priority rights.

PetroMed Corporation sent an e-mail to IPC Cayman and the Petroleum Commissioner on January 17, 2010, purporting to ‘rescind’ the PetroMed transaction and has, to the best of IPC Cayman’s knowledge, further addressed the Petroleum Commissioner with claims that the Petroleum Commissioner denies the applications. In addition, IPC Cayman received verbal indication from the Petroleum Commissioner that the permit would lapse at the end of its term on February 5, 2010, and the Petroleum Commissioner would not approve the conversion of the permit into a license. Thereafter, PetroMed Corporation communicated its withdrawal of rescission to the Petroleum Commissioner with respect to the request to transfer the permit and convert it into a license and requested that the Petroleum Commissioner place the request for conversion of the permit before the Petroleum Council.

On January 19, 2010, PetroMed Corporation filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington against Bontan, Howard Cooper and Three Crown Petroleum, LLC. The complaint requested, among other things, rescission of PetroMed Corporation’s assignment of its 95.5% interest in the Myra and Sara licenses and Benjamin permit to IPC Cayman and a declaration that the contracts with the defendants are null and void.

On February 12, 2010, ITC and IPC Cayman filed a complaint in the Denver, Colorado District Court against PetroMed Corporation and other defendants. ITC and IPC Cayman alleged that the defendants were actively interfering with IPC Cayman’s application before the Israel Ministry of Natural Infrastructure for transfer to IPC Cayman of PetroMed Corporation’s 95.5% interest in the Myra and Sara licenses and Benjamin permit. In the lawsuit, ITC and IPC Cayman were seeking, among other matters, temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief in order to avoid real, immediate and irreparable harm to ITC and IPC Cayman resulting from the defendants’ alleged wrongful conduct. The lawsuit also requested damages for defendants’ alleged multiple tortuous acts and materials breaches of contracts, and a declaration of the parties’ rights and obligations under the contracts.

ITC had informed us that, 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 is 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. The major partners (or Lead Investors) in the offshore Israel project are Emanuelle Energy Ltd. and IDB-DT Energy (2010) Ltd. Mr. Ofer Nimrodi controls Emanuelle Energy Ltd. and is a director and CEO of Tel Aviv-based Israel Land Development Company Ltd. IDB-DT Energy (2010) Ltd. Is a joint venture of IDB Development Corporation Ltd., which is affiliated with Avraham Livnat Company, and Du-Tzah Ltd., which is affiliated with Manor Holdings and Yitzak “Zachi” Sultan.

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 provides for, among other things:

The dismissal of certain lawsuits and mutual release of claims among the parties;

The payment by the Lead Investors of: (i) $10.5 million to Western Geco International Ltd. for the release of 2D and 3D seismic data relating to the Myra and Sara licenses, (ii) Aproximately $5.7 million to settle certain liabilities of PetroMed Corporation and to acquire its controlling interest.

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.;

With respect to IPC Cayman’s 14.325% working interest, an allocation of 11% to Bontan and 3.325% to ITC;

For purposes of the application to effect the transfer of rights in the Myra and Sara licenses, the Lead Investors to prove (without incurring any actual monetary obligation) the financial capability requirement under Israel Petroleum law in respect of IPC Cayman’s interest in the licenses;

The grant of overriding royalty interests, totaling 10.5%, to certain persons, including 1% to an affiliate of Mr. Cooper and 2% to Israel Land Development Company Ltd. and IDB-DT Energy (2010) Ltd.;

The cancellation of the common shares and warrants of Bontan issued to PetroMed Corporation in November 2009; and

The formation of a steering committee composed of two representatives of the Lead Investors and one representative of IPC Cayman, to manage the project with respect to the Myra and Sara licenses.

Under the Allocation of Rights and Settlement Agreement, the Lead Investors have agreed, for purposes of the application to effect the transfer of the rights in the Myra and Sara licenses, to prove (without incurring any actual monetary obligation) the financial capability requirement under Israel Petroleum Law in respect of IPC Cayman’s interest in the licenses. This obligation will continue until the earlier of (i) five months from the registration of the licenses in the names of the Lead Investors and IPC Cayman in accordance with their respective ownership interests or (ii) November 30, 2010. If IPC Cayman fails to establish its independent financial capability after this obligation ends, IPC Cayman must elect one of the following options (on a licensee by license basis):

IPC Cayman may offer to sell to the Lead Investors its ownership interest in the license for which it has not established financial capability for a purchase price of $240,000 per each 1% ownership interest;

IPC Cayman may contract to sell, farmout or otherwise dispose of its ownership interest in the applicable license and the Lead Investors have the right of first refusal to acquire any or all of the interest; or

IPC Cayman will be obligated to participate in the first well drilled under the applicable license by paying 200% of its share of the drilling costs and if it fails to do so, IPC Cayman will forfeit its ownership interest in the applicable license.

If IPC Cayman fails to complete option 1 or 2 within 60 days after the Lead Investors’ obligation ends, it will be deemed to have elected option 3 above. As between us and ITC, if we fail to establish financial capability to the extent of our proportionate ownership of IPC Cayman, then ITC can establish such financial capability on behalf of IPC Cayman and the ownership of IPC Cayman will be readjusted to reflect the acquisition by ITC of our interest in the applicable license. As explained below, in October 2010, IPC Partnership secured funding of up to US$ 28 million which we believe satisfies the financial capability requirements in respect of IPC Cayman’s (including Bontan’s) interest in the licenses.

In a letter dated May 16, 2010, Petroleum Commissioner confirmed that the two licenses are fully valid and approved changes in the work plan submitted by the steering committee. The Petroleum Commissioner approved deadlines for submitting various work plans between July 15, 2010 and March 31, 2011. With respect to the financial capability requirement for approval of the transfer of rights, the Petroleum Commissioner has indicated that the joint venture partners must demonstrate liquidity equal to at least half of the cost of the first well drilling, which we estimate to be approximately USD $50 million.

On May 19, 2010, Geoglobal Resources (India) Inc. was appointed operator for the Myra and Sara licenses, subject to the execution of a joint operating agreement. A Joint Operating Agreement dated October 6, 2010 was signed on November 8, 2010 for each of the two licenses The operator is a wholly owned subsidiary of Geoglobal Resouces Inc.,(“Geoglobal”) a public company headquartered in Calgary, Alberta Geoglobal is primarily engaged since 2002 in exploration and development of oil and gas reserves – both on shore and off shore – in India. It has exploration rights through production sharing contracts in four offshore and on shore geological basins covering approximately 1.7 million net acres. The operator has acquired a 5% working interest in the Myra and Sara licenses pro rata from the Lead Investors and IPC Cayman for USD $1.2 million. The operator also has an option to acquire an additional 2.5% working interest in one or both licenses pro rata from the Lead Investors and IPC Cayman.

The joint venture partners and the operator also entered into an option agreement dated as of May 19, 2010. Under this option agreement, the joint venture partners have the option to purchase up to a 12.5% ownership interest in a shallow water offshore drilling license known as the Samuel license, subject to the license being granted to the operator by the Israel Petroleum Commissioner. This agreement also provides that the joint venture partners shall have a right to increase their ownership interest in the Samuel license by a further 7.5% in return the operator is given a right to increase its interest in Sarah and Myra licenses by an additional 2.5%.The Samuel license has been granted to the operator, and IPC Cayman is entitled to acquire a 2.72% interest in the Samuel license, of which Bontan’s share would be 2.09% and the minority shareholder of IPC Cayman will be entitled to the balance 0.63%. The Samuel license covers an area of approximately 400 square kilometers and is located in the Levantine Basin.

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.

The Benjamin permit originally held by PetroMed Corporation and acquired by IPC Cayman expired in February 2010 because the required seismic data was not timely submitted to the Petroleum Commissioner. The Israeli Ministry of Petroleum invited new applications for licenses covering the same area as the original Benjamin permit. The Lead Investors and IPC Cayman paid for and obtained the required 2D seismic data for this application and submitted an application for the Michael license on May 20, 2010. On June 16, 2010, the Isaeli Ministry of Petroleum informed the Lead Investors that their application for the Michael license was not approved.

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.In additional, Ofer was granted certain voting and management rights with respect to major operational decisions and material changes in the timing or costs of the initial drilling program. The agreement provides for Ofer to deposit at closing US$ 2 million with IPC Partnership to cover future cash calls made by the operator relating to initial drilling and exploration costs. Ofer is required to contribute up to an additional US$ 26 million, upon cash calls made by the operator, to pay for IPC Partnership’s 13.609% share of the initial drilling and exploration costs. If IPC Partnership’s aggregate share of the initial drilling and exploration costs for the initial two exploratory wells exceed $28 million, then IPC Cayman and Ofer have agreed to increase their capital commitments to IPC Partnership in respect of the shortfall.

To the extent required by law, the consent of the Israeli Petroleum Commissioner is a condition precedent to the grant of rights to Ofer under the Ofer agreement. If such consent is required but not obtained by December 31, 2011, then (i) Ofer may terminate the Ofer agreement and IPC Partnership will be required to make a restitution payment to Ofer by June 30, 2013 in an amount equal to the capital contributions actually made by Ofer plus 10% interest from the date of each such contribution or (ii) IPC Partnership may terminate the Ofer agreement and IPC Partnership will be required to make the restitution payment referenced in (i) within seven days of the notice of termination. The agreement also provides that ITC and Ofer will use their best efforts to establish, no later than December 31, 2010, a new Israeli entity to replace ITC as the general partner of IPC Partnership. To date we are not aware of any new Israel entity that has replaced ITC

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. As the majority stockholder of IPC Cayman, we believe the proposed Shaldieli transaction is subject to our approval. Bontan has never given this approval and does not consider the proposed Shaldieli transaction to be beneficial to Bontan and its shareholders for several reasons, including the following:

·	10% of the Shaldieli shares are reserved for existing Shaldieli shareholders without any contribution of funds to the business. This will result in dilution of our indirect interest, which could exceed 20% if the options proposed to be issued in the transaction are exercised.

·	Mr. Cooper will be chairman and president of Shaldieli without our vote or approval as the majority stockholder of IPC Cayman.

·	The proposed transaction structure provides no proper safeguards to Bontan regarding future activities of Shaldieli and the Shaldieli board structure.

The proposed Shaldieli transaction appears to involve numerous conflicts of interest and related party transactions with Mr. Cooper and his affiliates, including issues concerning his remuneration, status as a dircetior, option rights, annual grants, and right to a percentage of the profits of Shaldieli.

The Shaldieli transaction is also subject to approval by Shaldieli’s shareholders and to Israeli regulatory approvals. As of the date of this prospectus, Shaldieli has not held a shareholder meeting to approve the proposed Shaldieli transaction. Shaldieli has reported that the shareholders’ meeting to approve the transaction did not take place due to Israel Securities Authority demand and that the shareholders’ meeting for approval of this transaction has been postponed for an indefinite period of time. In light of our inability to obtain a temporary injunction against the proposed Shaldieli transaction and past actions taken by Mr. Cooper without Bontan’s consent to register the 13.609% working interest in IPC Partnership rather than in IPC Cayman, and to sell off a 50% interest in IPC Partnership to Ofer, Bontan cannot assure that IPC Cayman and IPC Partnership will not attempt to consummate the proposed transaction with Shaldeili without Bontan’s consent

The complete details of the Shaldieli transaction are not known to us. However, Shaldieli published a Transaction Report (equivalent to a prospectus) as part of its reports to the Israeli Stock Exchange on December 11, 2010 and published a new transaction report on June 21, 2011 calling for a shareholders meeting on July 26, 2011 to approve the said deal. We have been not been provided with copies of communication that Shaldieli might have had with the Israel Securities Authority as a result of its filing of the Transaction Reports and are therefore not aware of issues raised, if any by the Israel Securities Authority.

As a result of our disputes with Mr. Cooper, ITC and IPC Cayman, we commenced various legal actions as explained under item 8 of this report.

On November 8, 2010, joint operating agreements relating to each of the Myra and Sara licenses were signed by the joint venture partners and GeoGlobal, as operator. The agreements contain substantially similar provisions that relate to the rights and obligations of the parties with regard to operations under the licenses, including joint exploration, appraisal, development, production and disposition of oil and natural gas produced from the areas covered by the licenses. Under the joint operating agreements, an operating committee is created to supervise and direct operations and activities carried out by the operator with respect to each license. The operating committee (which we understand replaces the steering committee created by the Allocation of Rights and Settlement Agreement) will be comprised of representatives of each joint venture partner holding a working interest. Decisions of the operating committee are determined by an affirmative vote of two or members representing at least 51% of the working interests; provided that the vote must include the affirmative vote of Emanuelle Energy Ltd., Emanuelle Energy Oil and Gas Limited Partnership, Israel Land Development Company Ltd., IDB Development Corporation Ltd., and Modiin Energy Limited Partnership as long as each of them holds at least 50% of its original working interest. Currently, we understand that the operating committee has 4 members: H. Howard Cooper (IPC Cayman), Ohad Marani (Emanuelle Energy Ltd.), Ron Maor (Modiin Energy Oil & Gas Ltd. Partnership) and a representative from GeoGlobal Resources (India) Inc. While we own 76.79% of IPC Cayman, we agreed to have IPC Cayman’s representative on the operating committee be appointed by ITC. We believed at that time that ITC’s representative would be Mr. Howard Cooper. Mr. Cooper has significant experience in handling oil and gas projects and has been actively involved in developing of the offshore Israel project.

Each joint operating agreement designates GeoGlobal as the operator and contains provisions regarding the rights of the other parties to the agreement to remove GeoGlobal as operator (with or without cause) and to repurchase portions of its working interest under various stages of the project with varying amounts of reimbursement for amounts paid by GeoGlobal. The parties have agreed to indemnify the operator for any claim, loss, liability or expense arising out of or resulting from operations under the applicable license, except for actions taken by senior supervisory personnel, which constitutes gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

Key events occurring after March 31, 2011 relating to the Israeli project:

a.	The Operator signed a letter of intent with a drilling contractor in April 2011.

b.	The Operator signed in April 2011 an assignment agreement with a third party to acquire drilling rig and associated services to be available in December 2011.

c.	In May 2011, the Petroleum commissioner approved to extend validity of the Sara and Myra licenses to July 13, 2012.

d.	Operator reported in July 2011 extracts from a prospective resource assessment as of June 15, 2011 conducted by an independent firm of Geologists.

Current Ownership of Licenses

100% of the rights and interests in the Myra and Sara licenses have been allocated and registered with the Israel Ministry of National Infrastructure as follows:

Myra (400000 dunams)

* Emanuelle Energy Limited 24.1610 %

Modiin Energy Limited Partnership 19.2820 %

Emanuelle Energy Oil & Gas Limited Partnership19.1610 %

I.P.C. Oil and Gas Limited Partnership13.6090 %

Blue Water Oil & Gas Exploration Limited 8.7870 %

GeoGlobal Resources (India) Inc. 5.0000 %

IDB Development Corporation Limited 5.0000 %

Israel Land Development Company Limited 5.0000 %

Sara (400000 dunams)

* Emanuelle Energy Limited 24.1610 %

Modiin Energy Limited Partnership 19.2820 %

Emanuelle Energy Oil & Gas Limited Partnership19.1610 %

I.P.C. Oil and Gas Limited Partnership. 13.6090 %

Blue Water Oil & Gas Exploration Limited8.7870 %

GeoGlobal Resources (India) Inc. 5.0000 %

IDB Development Corporation Limited5.0000 %

Israel Land Development Company Limited5.0000 %

Note: (a) I.P.C. Oil and Gas (Israel) Limited Partnership (or IPC Partnership) is currently owned 50% by IPC Cayman and 50% by Ofer Investments Ltd. We own 76.79% of IPC Cayman. Hence our indirect working interest in the above licenses is 5.23% (13.609% x 50% x76.79%). This interest may decrease further if Geoglobal Resources (India) Ltd. exercises its option to acquire an additional 2.5% working interest in the licenses pro rata from the Lead Invsetors and IPC Cayman.

(b) We understand that recently Blue Water Oil & Gas Exploration Limited failed to fulfil its financial obligation under a cash call and as a result forfeited its interest to Emanuelle Energy Limited and Modiin Energy Limited Partnership. We have however not received any written confirmation of this matter. It also does not affect our interest in the two licenses.

The following diagram illustrates the ownership structure with respect to the Myra and Sara licenses as of the date of this report.

Manager of Offshore Israel Project

International Three Crown Petroleum LLC (or ITC) is the sole director of IPC Cayman and the general partner of IPC Partnership. ITC owns a 23.20% equity interest and JKP Petroleum Company LLC (“JKP”) owns a 0.01% equity interest in IPC Cayman. The majority member and principal of ITC and JKP is H. Howard Cooper.

H. Howard Cooper is currently the manager of ITC, which serves as the sole director of IPC Cayman. Mr. Cooper is also the manager Power Petroleum LLC. ITC was formed by Mr. Cooper in 2005 to identify and purchase oil and gas leases, primarily in the U.S. Rocky Mountain Region. Power Petroleum, which was formed by Mr. Cooper in 2007, puts drilling prospects together in Colorado, Montana, Utah and North Dakota. From 1996 until February 2005, Mr. Cooper was the chairman of the board of directors of Teton Energy Corporation, a U.S. publicly traded company formerly known as Teton Petroleum Company. Mr. Cooper also served as president and CEO of Teton from 1996 until May 2003. During his tenure with Teton, Teton primarily engaged in oil and gas exploration, development, and production in Western Siberia, Russia. Prior to joining Teton, Mr. Cooper served as a director and president of American Tyumen, a company he founded in 1996 and which shortly thereafter merged with Teton. From 1994 to 1995, Mr. Cooper was a principal with Central Asian Petroleum, an oil and gas company with its primary operations in Kazakhstan. From 1992 to 1994 Mr. Cooper served with AIG, an insurance group in New York, evaluating oil and gas projects in Russia. From 1981 - 1991, Mr. Cooper was an independent landman developing oil and gas opportunities in the U.S. Rocky Mountain Region.

Under a Stockholders Agreement dated as of November 14, 2009, we have limited authority to participate in the management of IPC Cayman. ITC as the sole director of IPC Cayman has the right to make operational decisions with respect to matters affecting the exploration and development of the licenses and permit, including farming out or otherwise disposing of interests to third parties who will agree to assume the obligations to conduct required exploratory and development operations at their cost. ITC cannot be removed other than for willful misconduct that adversely affects the offshore Israel project or in the event of a transfer of the ownership of ITC, such that Mr. Howard Cooper is no longer the managing member.

The director must get prior written approval of stockholders holding a majority of shares of IPC Cayman to take any of the following actions:

Expansion of the scope of IPC Cayman’s business beyond the acquisition, development and potential farmout or sale of the Myra and Sara licenses and Benjamin permit and any license that may be issued in lieu of such permit and any other oil and gas exploration and development activity within the offshore or onshore areas of the State of Israel;

Sale or merger of IPC Cayman or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of IPC Cayman (other than a sale or farmout to an industry partner in connection with a commitment to conduct exploratory or development operations on the licenses and permit);

Admit additional owners to IPC Cayman;

Liquidate IPC Cayman;

Enter into any contract or agreement between IPC Cayman and ITC or any affiliate;

Modify any compensation arrangement between the Project Company and ITC and any affiliate; and

Amend the organizational and internal operating documents of IPC Cayman.

Under the Stockholders Agreement, IPC Cayman will pay ITC a monthly management fee of $20,000 for its services as director of IPC Cayman and is obligated to reimburse reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the director on behalf of IPC Cayman. In connection with any farmout, sale or other transfer of all or a portion of the offshore Israeli project, ITC will receive a disposition fee equal to the product of 5% of our percentage ownership interest in IPC Cayman and the total cash proceeds received by us or our shareholders in such transaction. ITC will also receive a warrant to purchase a number of our common shares which is equal to the product of 5% of our percentage ownership interest in IPC Cayman and the fair market value of all consideration received by us in such transaction, divided by the market price of one common share as of the date of issuance of the warrant. The exercise price of the warrant will be equal to the market price. In addition, ITC will receive $50,000 for every $1,000,000 increase in current assets received by IPC Cayman or Bontan from investors introduced by ITC to IPC Cayman or Bontan.

The terms of the Stockholders Agreement have significantly been affected by the Allocation of Rights and Settlement Agreement. We are trying to negotiate with ITC to replace the current agreement with a new agreement to reflect all the changes. However, ITC is refusing to consider our request. We are currently in litigation with ITC as explained elsewhere in this report.

Israel's Petroleum Law

Exploration and production of gas and oil in Israel is governed by the Petroleum Law, 1952 of the State of Israel. The administration and implementation of the Petroleum Law and the regulations promulgated there under is vested in the Minister of National Infrastructures and the Petroleum Commissioner, with the Petroleum Council generally playing an advisory role. The following discussion includes a brief summary of certain aspects of the current legal situation.

Petroleum resources are owned by the State of Israel, regardless of whether they are located on state lands or the offshore continental shelf. No person is allowed to explore for or produce petroleum without being granted a specific right under the Petroleum Law. Israeli law provides for three types of rights, two relevant to the exploration stage and the third for production:

Preliminary permit. The preliminary permit allows a prospector to conduct preliminary investigations, such as field geology, airborne magnetometer surveys and seismic data acquisition, but does not allow test drilling. The holder of a preliminary permit is entitled to request a priority right on the permit area, which, if granted, prevents an award of petroleum rights on the permit area to any other party. The priority right may be granted for a period not to exceed 18 months. The maximum area for an offshore preliminary permit is 4,000,000 dunam. One dunam is equal to 1,000 square meters (approximately .24711 of an acre). There are no restrictions as to the number of permits that may be held by one prospector. However, the petroleum regulations mandate that the prospector demonstrate that he possesses requisite experience and financial resources necessary to execute a plan of operation.

License. A license grants the exclusive right for further exploration work and requires the drilling of one or more test wells. The initial term of a license is up to three years and it may be extended for up to an additional four years. An offshore license area may not exceed 400,000 dunam (approximately 98,800 acres). No one entity may hold more than twelve licenses or hold more than a total of four million dunam in aggregate license area.

Production lease. Upon discovery of petroleum in commercial quantities in the area of a license, a licensee has a statutory "right" to receive a production lease. The initial lease term is 30 years, extendable up to a maximum period of 50 years. A lease confers upon the lessee the exclusive right to explore for and produce petroleum in the lease area and requires the lessee to produce petroleum in commercial quantities (or pursue test or development drilling). The lessee is entitled to transport and market the petroleum produced, subject, however, to the right of the government to require the lessee to supply local needs first, at market price.

The holders of preliminary permits, licenses and leases are required to pay fees to the government of Israel to maintain the rights. The fees vary according to the nature of the right, the size and location (on-shore or off-shore) of the right, area subject of the right and, in the case of a license, the period during which the license has been maintained. The fees range from New Israeli Shekels (NIS) 66.72 (approx. USD $17.78 at the Bank of Israel representative rate published on February 15, 2010) per 1,000 dunam (approx. 247.11 acres) per year for a permit to NIS 12131.52 (approx. USD $3,233.35) per 1,000 dunam per year for a lease (except for 50,000 dunam around each producing well for which no fee is due). All fees are linked to the Israeli Consumer Price Index.

The holder of a right under the Petroleum Law, whether permit, license or lease, is required to conduct its operations in accordance with a work program set as part of the respective right, with due diligence and in accordance with the accepted practice in the petroleum industry. The holder is required to submit progress and final reports; provided, however, the information disclosed in such reports remains confidential for as long as the holder owns a right on the area concerned.

If the holder of a right under the Petroleum Law does not comply with the work program provided for by the terms of the right, the Petroleum Commissioner may issue a notice requiring that the holder cure the default within 60 days of the giving of the notice, together with a warning that failure to comply within the 60-day cure period may entail cancellation of the right. If such right is cancelled following such notice, the holder of the right may, within 30 days of the date of notice of the Petroleum Commissioner's decision, appeal such cancellation to the Minister of National Infrastructures. No right may be cancelled until the Minister has ruled on the appeal.

The holder of a license or lease on which there is a producing well is required to pay a royalty to the government of 12.5% of production. The government may elect to take the royalty in kind, or take payment in cash for its share of production.

Application of Israeli Law Outside of the Israeli Territorial Waters

Current Israeli law provides that (a) the territorial waters of Israel are 12 miles from the shoreline and (b) the seabed and the subsea bed adjacent to the shoreline and outside of the territorial waters are included in the area of the State of Israel up to such depth as enables exploitation of natural resources. The waters above such subsea areas (high seas) are not considered as part of Israeli territory. Maritime law and international public law would apply to such areas. There are therefore certain ambiguities with respect to the application of Israeli law to activities taking place outside the territorial waters. Since the Myra and Sara licenses and Benjamin permit are outside of the Israeli territorial waters, as set out above, there is uncertainty as to the application of Israeli law to activities in their area, with the exception of the Petroleum Law, which does apply.

A proposal for a new subsea law is currently before the legislator, which would, if enacted, replace the above laws and determine Israel's sovereign rights in areas that extend beyond its territorial waters

It is anticipated that the area of the Myra and Sara licenses and Benjamin permit would be included in an Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) area to be declared under the new subsea law, and if the area of the EEZ is decreased, then the area of the licenses and the permit would be decreased in such manner so as to ensure that its entire area will fall within the area of the EEZ, without compensation to the owner of the licenses or permit.

We do not know and cannot predict whether any legislation in this area will be enacted and, if so, in what form and which of its provisions, if any, will relate to and affect our activities, how and to what extent nor what impact, if any, it might have on our financial statements.

Administrative approvals are required from a number of ministries and agencies in the field of oil and gas exploration and development. Over the past few years, a number of legislative bills which would affect this are have been proposed (but not yet passed), and such bills, if passed into law, could have a negative effect on our business and activities.

Environmental Matters

Oil and gas drilling operations could potentially harm the environment if there are polluting spills caused by the loss of well control. The Petroleum Law and the regulations promulgated there under provide that the conduct of petroleum exploration and drilling operations be pursued in compliance with “good oil field practices” and that measures of due care be taken to avoid seepage of oil, gas and well fluids into the ground and from one geologic formation to another. The Petroleum Law and the regulations promulgated thereunder also require that, upon the abandonment of a well, it be adequately plugged and marked. Furthermore, the Petroleum Commissioner and the Minister of National Infrastructures have authority to enforce measures to prevent damages.

Our operations may also be subject to claims for personal injury and property damage caused by the release of chemicals or petroleum substance by us or others in connection with the conduct of petroleum operations on our behalf. Such claims could be advanced under public international law claims or under national laws of tort.

We do not know and cannot predict whether any legislation in the environmental area will be enacted and, if so, in what form and which of its provisions, if any, will relate to and affect our activities, how and to what extent nor what impact, if any, it might have on our financial statements.

We have two wholly owned subsidiaries, Israel Oil and Gas Corporation and 1843343 Ontario Inc. Israel Oil and Gas Corporation holds our 76.79% equity interest in IPC Cayman. Israel Oil and Gas, which was incorporated on February 20, 2004 as an Ontario corporation changed its name effective January 18, 2010 from Bontan Oil & Gas Corporation.

Our second subsidiary, 1843343 Ontario Inc. was incorporated in Ontario, Canada on January 31, 2011.

(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. We signed a one –year lease effective August 1, 2010.

As described above, we have an indirect 5.23% working interest in two drilling licenses in the Levantine Basin, approximately 40 kilometres off the west coast of Israel. As of the date of this report, we did not have any reserves associated with our interests in the oil and gas properties.

Overview

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.

c.	Our subsidiary IPC Cayman set up IPC Israel in May 2010 and as a result, it became a 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.

During the year ended March 31, 2010, our main activities were as follows:

a.	Completing acquisition of indirect working interest in an Offshore Israel Project involving two licensees.

b.	Completing a private placement to raise gross US$ 500,000 that was announced previously in December 2008. This was completed in October 2009.

c.	Reviewing various short term investments in our investment portfolio and disposing off or writing off significant portion of those investments which indicated declining values with no future outlook for improvements.

d.	Began a new private placement in November 2009 to raise up to US$ 7.9 million. This private placement was completed on April 30, 2010, which raised approximately gross US$ 7.6 million. Up to March 31, 2010, we raised approximately gross US$ 5 million.

These events are discussed further in this annual report.

The following were the key events in fiscal 2009:

The management continued to look for suitable business proposals and projects to participate in. We received several projects during the year of which about fifteen were reviewed and discussed in detail. Many of these related to emerging high technology projects, resource sector exploration and development projects. Unfortunately, we were unable to conclude successfully in any of these business proposals. They were either too pricey compared to the expected growth and returns or they carried considerable debts and other commitments which would affect their ability to achieve their stated targets. We also looked at possibilities of merging with existing businesses. Our efforts at getting a project or a business that can that can get us back into working mode and enhance our shareholders value still continue.

We also had to spend considerable time and efforts in continually monitoring our short term investments. These investments which represented our surplus funds earmarked for future projects suffered adversely in value due to deteriorating economic conditions during the past several months. We were however able to dispose of some of these holdings at reasonable

profits whenever opportunities arose. Some of our key investments, although suffered value depreciation on a temporary basis, do reflect strong possibility of full recovery in the near future. We have discussed these investments later in this report.

We revised the terms of our outstanding options and warrants by extending their maturity dates and reducing their exercise prices to ensure that these instruments continue to provide easy access to further cash flows from our existing shareholders. Refer to notes 7 and 8 of the consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2009 which form part of this report for further details.

We also attempted to initiate a private placement to raise up to US$ 500,000. However, this proved difficult due to our inability to secure a business project and extremely adverse market conditions. Still we were able to get a new investors to invest US$ 50,000. We have for now kept this private placement open.

Two new accounting standards and an amendment to an existing accounting standard issued by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants were adopted by the Company during the fiscal year 2009 on a prospective basis. These are more fully explained in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year 2009.

Income

Income comprised the following:

Fiscal year ended March 31	2011	2010	2009

Interest	-	-	7,901

There was no revenue during the year ended March 31, 2011.

Interest earned in fiscal 2009 was mainly on cash balances held by the brokerage firms.

Expenses

The overall analysis of the expenses is as follows:

Fiscal year ended March 31	2011	2010	2009

Operating expenses	$ 379,636	$ 380,537	$ 288,875
Consulting fee & payroll	818,637	1,236,619	480,050
Exchange (gain)loss	20,688	(120,735)	(119,789)

Professional fees Bank charges, interest and fees	1,221,720 4,096	992,989 691,062	27,844 2,362
	$ 3,779,638	$ 4,284,058	$ 697,316

Operating Expenses

Fiscal year ended March 31			2011	2010		2009

Travel, meals and entertainment			$ 131,976	$ 86,939		$ 66,896
	Shareholder information	148,610			158,509		144,757
	Other	99,050			135,089		77,222

			$ 379,636	$ 380,537		$ 288,875

Travel, meals and entertainment

These expenses were substantially incurred by our CEO, Kam Shah and the key consultant, Mr. Terence Robinson and other consultants and lawyers in visiting Israel, Vancouver, UK and USA in connection with the Israel Project and fund raising efforts and local club and entertainment costs in business meetings and also in maintaining Mr. Robinson’s network which has been successfully used in raising funds, in attracting qualified consultants with minimum cash outlay and in securing suitable projects for the Company.

Increased travel costs during fiscal 2011 were caused by several visits to Israel and Grand Cayman in connection with our litigations in those places and various meetings held with the manager of IPC Cayman during the fiscal year.

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 82%) 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.

Expenses for the fiscal year 2010 included approximately $ 12,000 in various filing fees in connection with registration statements and increased press releases due to Israel project.

The differences in investor and media relation fee between the three fiscal years 2011 through 2009 was due to significant changes in the exchange rates between Canadian and US dollars.

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.

Substantial decrease in fiscal year 2011 was mainly due to deconsolidation of IPC Cayman.

Increase in fiscal year 2010 compared to earlier years was due to operations of a new subsidiary, IPC Cayman which added approximately $ 46,000 in costs and transfer agent fees, which went up from an average of $ 4,500 in earlier years to $ 10,800 due to increased treasury activities resulting from two private placements. Our Toronto office general costs also increased as a result of increased business activities.

Consulting fees and payroll	2011	2010	2009

Fees settled in common shares	91,714	105,107	193,139
Fee settled by issuance of options	181,329	419,482	84,717
Fee settled in cash	505,856	667,086	166,928
Payroll	39,738	44,944	35,266
	$ 818,637	$ 1,236,619	$ 480,050

Stock based compensation is made up of the Company’s common shares and options to acquire the Company’s common shares being issued to various consultants and directors of the Company for services provided. The Company used this method of payment mainly to conserve its cash flow for business investments purposes. This method also allows the Company to avail the services of consultants with specialized skills and knowledge in the business activities of the Company without having to deplete its limited cash flow.

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.

The following were the key details forming part of consulting fee and payroll costs during the fiscal year 2010:

Fee settled in common shares included credit of $ 81,957, which represented shares previously allotted to Mr. John Robinson, a consultant for his service being deferred and now expensed for the period. However, Mr. John Robinson returned all the shares – 350,000 common shares – on August 12, 2009 for cancelation and instead was paid cash fee of $82,000 as approved by our board of directors. Four non related consultants were issued 708,333 shares under our 2009 consultant stock compensation plan for a value of $217,372.

During the fiscal 2010, the board of directors approved extension of all outstanding options to March 31, 2014 in view of the limited liquidity and market value of our shares. The fair value of these options was re-estimated to reflect the term modification, using black-Scholes option price model. This resulted in an additional cost of $ 419,482.

Fees settled in cash consisted of fee of $250,000 paid to Mr. Kam Shah, CEO/CFO. Mr. Shah received fee at $ 10,000 per month between April 2009 and August 2009.Effective September 2009, his monthly fee increased to $ 15,000 as approved by the audit committee. He was also allowed a one-time bonus of $ 70,000 which was offset against fee advance given to him during the previous year. Fee for fiscal 2010 also included fee of $ 10,000 per month paid to Mr. Terence Robinson. Two independent directors were paid $5,000 each for their services as members of the audit committee. The balance of the fees was paid to consultants hired by the Company as well as its subsidiary, IPC.

d.	An administrative assistant was hired as an employee in May 2008 for the first time. Payroll reflects the salary and related expenses in connection with this position. In prior periods, administrative work was carried out by a contract person

The following were the major details forming part of the consulting fee and payroll during the fiscal year 2009:

1.	Consulting fee in common shares comprise three consultants who were paid for their services in common shares - Mr. Kam Shah, the executive and financial officer, Mr. Terence Robinson, the key consultant and Mr. John Robinson. No new shares were issued during the fiscal year.

2.	Mr. Terence Robinson returned 275,000 shares previously issued as compensation for cancelation and instead requested cash payment. This reduced stock compensation costs by $64,395 and increased cash compensation by an agreed sum of $60,000.

3.	Option value included $76,839 resulting from the changes in terms of the existing options. These changes involved reduction in the exercise value and extension of the expiry dates as more fully explained in note 7 (i) to the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal 2009.

4.	The balance of the options were issued to the two independent directors as part of their fees in their capacity as audit committee members.

5.	Majority of cash fee comprised $90,000 fee to Mr. Terence Robinson, including $60,000 on account of shares returned for cancellation as explained in 2. above. And $50,000 to Kam Shah.

6.	The administrative assistant was hired as an employee in May 2008 for the first time. The payroll reflected the salary and related expenses in connection with this position. In prior periods, administrative work used to be carried out by a contract person.

Exchange (gain) Loss

Exchange losses and gains related to translation losses and gains arising from converting foreign currency balances, mainly in US dollar, into Canadian dollar, which is the reporting unit of currency, on consolidation.

During most part of fiscal 2011, Canadian dollar remained at parity with the US dollar. Overall liabilities declined due to non-inclusion of IPC Cayman liabilities due to deconsolidation. Year-end liabilities and assets in US dollar were relatively insignificant as most of the treasury transactions in US dollar were converted at historical rates. There was therefore a small exchange loss of $20,688 at the year end.

During the fiscal year 2010, we acquired a significant asset – Offshore Israel Project – as explained earlier. The purchase price was in US dollars. We also took over liability to pay for the seismic data as part of the Project which was approximately US$ 2.2 million and also borrowed short term funds in US dollars of approximately $ 1.3 million. Further, we now have a new subsidiary, IPC Cayman, which incurs its expenses in US dollar and is funded by us. Thus, at the year, almost all our current liabilities were in US dollars. US dollar weakened against Canadian dollar during the year form US$ 1 = CDN$ 1.22 at the beginning of the year to US$1= CDN$ 1.02 at the end of the year. The bulk of the translation gains arose from this exchange differences when we converted all liabilities in US dollar into Canadian dollar at the year-end rate. The majority of our assets and capital transactions were done at historical costs and were not converted at the year-end rate and so there were no significant offsetting gains or losses.

During the fiscal year 2009, we had more monetary assets than liabilities in US dollars. Canadian dollar continually weakened in value against US dollar – from $1.0279 per US dollar at March 31, 2008 to $1.2602 per US dollar at March 31, 2009 – approximately 23% reduction in value. As a result, the year-end revaluation of assets held in US dollar resulted in a significant exchange gain of $119,789.

Write off of short term investments

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.

During the fiscal year 2010, the Company decided to write off two of its short term investments in non-marketable securities. These investments were held for several years in the hope that the investee companies would eventually go public and its shares would then be disposed of. However, while these two entities continue to operate, they were found to be having serious cash flow problems and current market conditions would unlikely to allow them to raise equity through public. These investments were therefore written off in full.

During the fiscal 2009, the Company wrote off an investment of $63,010(US$50,000) in a private Canadian corporation. This Corporation was engaged initially in exploration of oil and gas in Argentina

and other South American countries and later exploited hydro-electric projects in Panama. Unfortunately, none of these projects came to fruition and the Corporation was unable to attract more financing and as a result has now become inactive shell with no funds. The management review of these affairs concluded that our investment value has been permanently impaired and as a result, we decided to fully write off this investment.

Loss (Gains) on disposal of short term investments

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 increasing litigation costs.

During the fiscal year 2010, management reviewed its short-term investment portfolio and identified several holdings whose market value remained depreciated for quite some time and showed no signs of any recovery in the near future. We therefore decided to dispose of these investments and focus on those whose values are likely to improve.

Fifteen holdings form the portfolio having carrying cost of approximately $1.3 million were sold for total proceeds of $410,454, resulting in a loss of $852,806.

Market conditions during later part of the fiscal 2009 deteriorated significantly and many of our investments lost values as part of the overall losses in the stock market. However, we were still able to identify some opportunities and dispose of some of our holdings at a profit. We decided not to sell securities which lost significant market values but rather use our existing cash for operating needs and wait for these securities to regain their original values before disposing them. During the fiscal year 2009, the Company sold investments of approximately $1.8 million while invested approximately $2.4 million. Net return on investments disposed of during the year was approximately 2.5%

Professional fees

Professional fees primarily consist of audit and legal fees.

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. Legal costs were approximately $1.1 million

During the fiscal 2010, our audit fee was $ 60,000 and legal fees were $ 932,989. Increase in audit fee form $ 25,000 in earlier year to $ 60,000 was mainly due to increased business activities, complexity of transactions involving new acquisitions and two private placements and a new subsidiary which extended the scope of audit.

The fiscal year 2010 also saw significant increase in legal fees. Approximately 71% of the legal fees - $ 661,894 were incurred by our subsidiary, IPC Cayman in various lawsuits associated with acquisition of the Israeli properties. The Company was also similarly involved in various lawsuits arising from vendors and others associated with the acquired Israeli properties. All these legal costs were involved in defending our titles to these properties and as a result, they were written off and not capitalized to the cost of the related properties. There were also legal costs associated with registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and two private placements to raise equity funds.

For fiscal year 2009, audit fee was $25,000 and legal fees were $2,844.

Bank charges, interest and fees

All loans were settled in early fiscal 2011 and as a result, interest and fees were at a minimum.

Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year 2010 provide break down of bank charges, interest and fees. These costs included a fee of $590,288 paid by our subsidiary, IPC Cayman to a non-related entity in connection with fund raising negotiations which were not successful.

(B) Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working Capital

As at March 31, 2011, the Company had a net working capital of approximately $1.7 million compared to a working capital of $ 371,000 as at March 31, 2010.

Our short term investment portfolio improved in value at March 31, 2011 compared to the value at March 31, 2010 for same securities. We also raised additional money through completion of our 2010 private placement in April 2010. We also settled all loans prior to their maturities. However, we have initiated extensive legal actions as explained elsewhere in this report. The legal costs associated with these actions will continue to have significant adverse effect on our working capital while on the other hand these actions also affect adversely our ability to raise additional funding in future.

Our financials for the fiscal 2011 include a going concern note which reflects the above situation.

Operating cash flow

During the fiscal year 2011, operating activities required a net cash outflow of approximately $2.6 million mainly due to increased legal costs and cash fees. This was met from available cash and sale of short term investments.

During the fiscal year 2010, operating activities required a net cash outflow of approximately $ 363,000 which was met from the available cash and cash generated from equity financing.

During the fiscal year 2009, operating activities generated a net cash outflow of $362,874, which was primarily met from the available cash on hand.

The company expects its operating cash requirements to increase due to its continuing legal actions in several territories and also as the exploration work begins on the Israeli project.

Investing cash flows

Key investing activities comprised disposal of significant short term investments and advances made to IPC Cayman towards the Israeli project.

Acquisition of Oil and Gas Properties

Effective May 18, 2010, the Company decided to de-consolidate the results of its subsidiary; IPC Cayman wherein it holds 76.79% equity due to loss of effective control over IPC Cayman’s financial reporting process as explained in Note 25.

IPC Cayman was incorporated solely for the purpose of managing exploration and development of 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. (“Israeli project”)

IPC Cayman holds 50% partnership interest in IPC Oil and Gas (Israel) Limited Partnership (“IPC Israel”) which is the registered holder of 13.609% interest in the Israeli project.

Funds provided by us towards exploration activities of the Israeli project either direct to the consortium or though IPC Cayman have been classified as investment in subsidiary after the deconsolidation. In fiscal year 2010, they were classified as Oil & Gas properties and related expenditure.

The movements and composition of our investment are as follows:

		Cost of acquisition of interest in Israeli project	Related expenditure	Total cost
Balance, April 1, 2010		$5,447,422	$1,072,945	$6,520,367
Incurred during the period	(i),(ii)	435,122	17,250	452,373

Balance, March 31, 2011		$5,882,544	$1,090,195	$6,972,740

(i)	Under a new agreement entered on March 25, 2010 between the Company, IPC Cayman and three other joint venture partners (“new agreement”), the company was entitled to increase its working interest from 10% to 11% by paying an additional US$ 240,000. This amount was paid during the fiscal year 2011.

(ii)

In fiscal year 2010, the Company issued warrants to induce short term loans borrowed to finance the cost of acquisition. Value of these warrants of $ 173,953 which related to the period after March 31, 2010 was adjusted against the short term loans as at March 31, 2010. Upon settlement of these loans during the year, the value of warrants was transferred to the cost of acquisition.

(iii)

The operator of the project acquired 5% working interest for US$1.2 million proportionately from the consortium partners. The company’s share amounted to US$135,936, which was received by IPC Cayman but was not refunded to the Company. Owning to the current litigations and de-consolidation of IPC Cayman, management decided not to account for this receivable.

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 matter is currently under dispute and litigation between the Company and IPC Cayman management (Note 14).

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

During the fiscal year 2011, there were new investments of approximately $5,500. 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 approximately $950,000.

During the fiscal year 2010, the Company invested $53,103 in short term marketable securities while sold marketable securities for net proceeds of $ 410,454.

The Company had short term investments at a carrying cost of approximately $ 2.1 million (2009: $4 million) as at March 31, 2011– all of which (2010: $3.8 million or 95%) was held in Canadian currency. (2010: the balance 5% was held in US currency) Investments were in 5 public companies (2010:13 public companies) while investments in two private companies totalling to $250,780 were written off during the fiscal year 2010. These investments were stated at their fair value of approximately $ 1.9 million (2010: $1.4 million) as at March 31, 2011 and the difference representing unrealised gain of approximately $168,000 (2010: loss of approximately $2.6 million) was transferred to accumulated other comprehensive income and included under shareholders equity.

During the fiscal 2009, Company invested approximately $2.4 million in short term marketable securities while realised approximately $1.8 million from the disposal of such securities, which were essentially reinvested. Net additional investments were funded from the available cash on hand.

The Company had short term investments at a carrying cost of approximately $5.5 million as at March 31, 2009 – of which $5.2 million or 95% was held in Canadian currency and the balance 5% was held in US currency. Approximately 95% of the investments were in 24 public companies while 5% was invested in two private companies. An investment of US$50,000 in a private corporation was written off during the year due to permanent impairment of its carrying costs. These investments were stated at their fair value of approximately $1.1 million as at March 31, 2009 and the difference representing unrealised loss of approximately $4.4 million was transferred to accumulated other comprehensive income 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:

March 31,	2011			2010
	In 000’
	# of shares	cost	Fair value	# of shares	cost	Fair value
Marketable Securities
Brownstone Ventures Inc.	522	755	611	1,292	1,869	775
Roadrunner Oil & Gas Inc.	1,561	586	755	1,744	658	244
Skana Capital Corp.	750	685	495	773	706	155
5(2010: 10) other public companies – mainly resource sector		93	39		775	185
		$2,119	$1,900		$4,008	$1,359

Management believes that the reduction in fair value of the above investments due to application of mark to market accounting rules is temporary and is a direct effect of the adverse current market conditions in the resource sector in general. The fundamentals of the investee corporations are strong in terms of their financial and portfolio strength and will eventually reflect in higher market prices once market condition improves for the resource sector.

Financing cash flows

Financing cash flow arose from equity financing which was used to settle short term loans and balance on operating costs.

Equity financing

During the fiscal year 2011, the Company raised a net of $ 2 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 finders’ 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 and the balance was used towards working capital.

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 fiscal 2011 financials provide further details of these private placements.

Debt funding

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

Note 10 to the financials for fiscal 2011 provide further details of these loans.

During the fiscal 2009, the Company generated $56,000 in equity fund through a private placement, net of finder’s fee of $6,228. On December 12, 2008, the directors of the Company approved a private placement to raise equity funds of up to US$500,000. The private placement comprises issuance up to ten million units at US$0.05 each, being the prevailing market price, each unit consists of one common share and one warrant exercisable at US$0.10 within two years of its issuance. The private placement was considered necessary to improve the Company’s liquidity and holding ability so that it may be able to gain higher values for its investments once the current market conditions improve.

Equity fund raised as above reflected subscription to one million units under the above private placement by one accredited investor.

The Company has not spent any funds on research and development during the fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008.

(D) TREND INFORMATION

There are no other trends, commitments, events or uncertainties presently known to management that are reasonably expected to have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operation other than uncertainty as to the speculative nature of the business (Refer to the heading entitled “Risk Factors”).

(E) OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

At March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not have any off balance sheet arrangements, including any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnership to enhance perceived liquidity.

(F) CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

Under the terms with our other Israeli partners, IPC Cayman must provide by December 1, 2010 evidence of its financial capability to meet future financing requirements with respect to exploration and development of test wells to our Israeli partners. The Company’s share is expected to be approximately US$ 12 million. As explained elsewhere, in October 2010, IPC Cayman secured funding of up to US$ 28 million which we believe satisfies the financial capability requirement in respect of IPC Cayman’s (including Bontan’s) interest in the licenses.

(G) SAFE HARBOUR

Not applicable.

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 May 16, 2011, the Company had two active plans.

2009 Consultant Stock Option Plan under which 3 million shares have been registered with Securities and Exchange Commission. 843,333 shares have been issued to date and 2,156,667 shares remained unissued.

2011 Consultant Stock Option Plan under which six million shares have been registered with Securities and Exchange Commission. No shares have been issued to date.

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, 2011:

ITEM 8 – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(A) CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Information regarding our financial statements is contained under the caption "Item 17. Financial Statements" below.

Legal Proceedings

Actions taken in Israel

On January 4, 2011, Bontan and the Subsidiary (Israel Oil & Gas Corporation) filed a petition for the granting of a temporary injunction against Shaldieli Ltd., Mr. Yaron Yenni, Upswing Capital Ltd., Asia Development (A.D.B.M.) Ltd., Howard H. Cooper, International Three Crown Petroleum LLC, JKP Petroleum Company Limited, Israel Petroleum Company Limited, and IPC Oil & Gas (Israel) Limited Partnership ( the “Defendants”), before the Economic Department of the Tel Aviv-Jaffa District Court. Within the framework of the petition, the Honourable Court was requested to stop and to prevent the completion of the transaction which had been signed by and between IPC Cayman and Shaldieli, which involved a breach of agreements and undertakings between Bontan and IPC Cayman.

On January 12, 2011, Bontan and the Subsidiary filed an action against the Defendants, before the Economic Department of the Tel Aviv-Jaffa District Court, in which declaratory remedies and the issuance of permanent injunctions against the Shaldieli transaction were sought. Within the framework of the above-cited action, Bontan argued that the Shaldieli transaction could not be implemented without its consent and that, in light of the fact that Bontan was opposed to the transaction, it could not be completed. Bontan argued that, should the transaction be completed, it would incur irreversible damage, as its rights to the “Sarah” and “Myra” gas and oil exploration licenses would be significantly diluted. Accordingly, declaratory remedies were sought, within the framework of the above cited action, with regard to Bontan’s rights pursuant to the agreements between the parties, as well as permanent injunctions against the completion of the transaction.

On January 15, 2011, our petition for a temporary injunction was denied by the District Court. On January 20, 2011, our petition for leave to appeal against the decision which had been handed down by the District Court was denied by the Supreme Court in Israel.

On January 23, 2011, a Statement of Counterclaim against Bontan and the Subsidiary was filed by International Three Crown Petroleum LLC and Israel Petroleum Company Limited (the “Plaintiffs in Counterclaim”), for monetary damages in the amount of NIS 18 million (approximately US$ 5 million) and for an order cancelling Bontan’s shares in IPC Cayman, with respect to contractual arguments of breach of the agreements between the parties. The Plaintiffs in Counterclaim argued that Bontan had failed to comply with its monetary undertakings pursuant to the agreements between the parties. It was further argued that, in view of the breach by Bontan (and the Subsidiary) of their undertakings vis-à-vis IPC Cayman, Bontan had lost its rights to the shares in IPC Cayman.

On April 14, 2011, Bontan filed an amended Statement of Claim to the Statement of Claim initially filed on January 12, 2011. The amended Statement of Claim includes a claim in the amount of NIS 25 million (approximately US$7 million) against all of the Defendants, a claim for a declaratory remedy and permanent injunctions, a claim for the production of accounts and other remedies relating to the governance of IPC Cayman and Shaldieli should the Shaldieli transaction go through, remedies against Mr. Cooper’s position in IPC Cayman, and other remedies.

A first pre-trial hearing in this case was held on June 5, 2011. The Court was informed of the following:

a.	Shaldieli lawyer informed that Shaldieli encountered certain problems with the Israeli SEC “due to pressures by Bontan” but that they had now overcome these problems and were ready to prepare the necessary new documents required and call for shareholders meeting.

b.	IPC lawyer informed that there was one capital call which required IPC to put about US$ 220,000. The capital call was in connection with a decision to conduct a third drilling test. Judge asked if more funding was expected and was told that it was not known at the moment.

c.	Bontan’s lawyer told the judge that all this was news to us because we have not been provided with any information and we did not receive any request for any cash call.

The judge set 90 days for discovery and interrogatory proceedings and the next pre-trial is scheduled for October 9, 2011.

On July 5, 2011, we filed another application for the temporary injunction against Shaldieli Ltd., Mr Yaron Yenni, Upswing Capital Ltd., Asia Development (A.D.B.M.) Ltd, International Three Crown Petroleum LLC (ITC) and Howard Cooper

The application seeks an injunction against the planned transaction and in the alternative, an injunction against the payment of US$4 million out of the fundraising which is planned to take place by Shaldieli towards coverage of IPC costs (including US$2 million return of loan to ITC). We have asked the court to order that funds raised by Shaldieli can only be used for the purposes of the drilling in the Licenses, or set in escrow pending other resolution of the court and should not be used to fund private litigation costs.

As detailed in the application that was filed with the court, we believe that the following change of circumstances occurred since the previous decision given by the court:

1.	It is evident now that there is no urgency in having the Shaldieli transaction given that more than 6 months passed since the previous round.

There does not appear to be any immediate need for cash in connection with the Licenses. At the moment the drilling is only planned to begin in 2012, and this in any event is going to be covered by the Ofer brothers funding. This is reinforced by the fact that since the previous attempt to complete the Shaldieli transaction, about six months ago, only US$220,000 were called for by the Consortium.

The terms of the transaction were changed, and now there is consent for "appropriating" US$4 million out of the Shaldieli fund raising towards coverage of IPC debts (including a US$2 million loan of ITC), as opposed to the previous US$2 million which were permissible in the previous round. No explanation is given how in only 6 months additional US$2 million debts were incurred.

4.	The payment of the US$4 million contravenes the Shareholders Agreement, inter-alia since it is not for the purpose of conducting exploratory works, and it benefits ITC without providing the same benefit to Bontan.

The above hearing was held on July 24, 2011. Based on judge’s recommendations, a procedural agreement was reached which basically did not impose temporary injunction but required ITC to provide full accounting of US$ 4 million requested for withdrawal from Shaldieli to us and would be subject to our audit and review by the court before actual distribution.

Actions taken in Cayman Islands

On March 8, 2011, we asked ITC as sole director of IPC Cayman to register transfers of 750 IPC shares held by the Subsidiary to Bontan and 750 shares to our other wholly owned subsidiary, 1843343 Ontario Inc.

On April 26, 2011, ITC declined to approve the transfers.

On April 28, 2011, we filed a summons against IPC Cayman and ITC for unreasonably withholding the consent and refusing to register two share transfer requests and asking court to pass an order for such transfers. The court in the Cayman Islands set August 18, 2011 as the date of hearing of this summon. The purpose of this action is to enable Bontan to call for a shareholders meeting of IPC Cayman to discuss among other things, the management of IPC Cayman.

Dividend Policy

Since its incorporation, the Company has not declared or paid, and has no present intention to declare or to pay in the foreseeable future, any cash dividends with respect to its Common Shares. Earnings will be retained to finance further growth and development of the business of the Company. However, if the Board of Directors declares dividends, all Common Shares will participate equally in the dividends, and, in the event of liquidation, in the net assets, of the Company.

(B) SIGNIFICANT CHANGES

Subsequent events have been evaluated through to July 23, 2011, the date of this report.

There were no significant events other than legal actions as discussed under Item 8 above and Israeli project development as described under item 4(B).

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.

Partnership Subscription and Contribution Agreement

The Partnership Subscription and Contribution Agreement is described under Item 4(B) “Business overview –Background and Status of Offshore Israel Project.”

Allocation of Rights and Settlement Agreement

The Allocation of Rights and Settlement Agreement is described under Item 4(B) “Business overview –Background and Status of Offshore Israel Project.”

Agreement Regarding Ownership interests in Israel Petroleum Company, Limited

Under the terms of the agreement dated April 14, 2010, International Three Crown Petroleum LLC is deemed to have owned and currently owns a 23.21% equity interest in IPC Cayman represented by 2,321 ordinary shares of IPC Cayman and Bontan is deemed to have owned and currently owns a 76.79% equity interest in IPC Cayman represented by 7,679 ordinary shares of IPC Cayman. Allied Ventures Incorporated is deemed not to have owned or to ever have owned and not to currently own any equity interest in IPC Cayman.

Apart from the above, the other terms of the Contribution and Assignment Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement – discussed below- remain valid subject to the obligation of International Three Crown Petroleum LLC to enter into good faith negotiations with Bontan to revise the terms of these two agreements.

Contribution and Assignment Agreement

Under the terms of a Contribution and Assignment Agreement dated November 14, 2009 by and among, International Three Crown Petroleum LLC, Bontan Oil & Gas Corporation, Bontan, IPC Cayman and Allied Ventures Incorporated:

International Three Crown Petroleum LLC contributed and assigned all of its right, title and interest in and to an Option Agreement for Purchase and Sale dated October 15, 2009 between International Three Crown Petroleum LLC and PetroMed Corporation, pursuant to which International Three Crown Petroleum LLC obtained, among other things, an exclusive option to purchase PetroMed’s undivided 95.5% interest in Petroleum License 347 (“Mira”) and Petroleum License 348 (“Sarah”) and Petroleum Preliminary Permit 199 (“Benjamin”).

·	IPC Cayman issued 7,500 ordinary shares to Bontan (representing a 75% equity interest in IPC Cayman), 2,250 ordinary shares to International Three Crown Petroleum LLC and 250 ordinary shares to Allied Ventures.

Upon the closing of the exercise of the option, which occurred on November 18, 2009, and as consideration to PetroMed for its sale of the Mira and Sarah licenses and the Benjamin permit, Bontan delivered to PetroMed USD $850,000 in cash, 8,617,686 common shares of Bontan and a 7- year warrant to purchase 22,853,058 common shares of Bontan with an exercise price of USD $4.00 per share.

Upon the closing of the exercise of the option, Bontan issued a warrant to purchase up to 5,000,000 common shares of Bontan to International Three Crown Petroleum LLC and a warrant to purchase up to 2,000,000 common shares of Bontan to Allied Ventures. These warrants have a 5-year term and an exercise price of USD $0.35 per share.

Following the closing of the exercise of the option, IPC Cayman conveyed to H. Howard Cooper a gross 1% over-riding royalty of all oil and gas produced, saved and sold from the area covered by the Mira and Sarah licenses and the Benjamin permit, free and clear of any costs incurred in connection with the exploration, production and delivery of the oil and gas.

Under the Contribution Agreement, we have agreed to use our best efforts to raise up to USD $18 million in equity or debt financings and to contribute the net proceeds from these financings to IPC Cayman to cover the costs of seismic and other technical work and other expenses expected to be incurred related to the project, for general working capital purposes and to reimburse International Three Crown Petroleum for certain expenses in connection with the project. To raise cash to satisfy our USD $850,000 payment obligation to PetroMed, we sold a USD $850,000 promissory note secured by our pledge of 1,125 shares of IPC Cayman together with a 5-year warrant to purchase 1,000,000 common shares at an exercise price of USD $0.35 per share. The note bears an interest rate of 10% per year has been paid in fiscal 2011.

All the above terms have significantly been affected by the Allocation of Rights and Settlement Agreement and Agreement Regarding Ownership Interest in Israel Petroleum Company, Limited as discussed above. We are currently negotiating with ITC to replace the current agreement with a new agreement to reflect all the changes.

We have agreed to file and seek effectiveness of one or more registration statements to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission covering the resale of the various securities issued to PetroMed, International Three Crown Petroleum, Allied Ventures and the investors in the financings. Under the terms of the warrants issued to International Three Crown Petroleum and Allied Ventures, if we fail to file the registration statement within 60 days following the date of issuance, or if the registration statement is not declared effective within nine months following the date of issuance, then, in each case, the number of shares underling the warrants will increase by 2%. For each subsequent 30 day period during which the registration statement is not filed or declared effective, the number of shares underlying the warrants will increase by 1%. The maximum adjustment to the shares is 10%.

In addition, on November 18, 2009, International Three Crown Petroleum entered into a consulting services agreement with Hagai Amir under which Mr. Amir will provide certain services as requested by International Three Crown Petroleum. International Three Crown Petroleum has agreed to pay Mr. Amir USD $20,000 per month for a 6-month period beginning in December 2009 and USD $60,000 upon approval of the transfer of the two licenses and permit by the Israeli Petroleum Commissioner. Also, we

agreed to issue to Mr. Amir a 5-year warrant to purchase 500,000 common shares at an exercise price of USD $4.00 per share. These agreements would be canceled as a result of new agreements as discussed above.

We believe our key financial commitments under the Contribution Agreement have been met. Approximately US$ 10.5 million was raised and used to pay off costs relation to seismic and other technical work under the Allocation of Rights and Settlement Agreement and a further financing of up to US$ 28 million was secured under the Ofer agreement to cover IPC Cayman’s (including Bontan’s) share of the initial exploration and drilling costs of the initial two exploratory wells. However the sole director of IPC Cayman has communicated to us that we have not satisfied out financial commitments under the Contribution Agreement and we are negotiating as well as asking courts in Israel to resolve the director’s claims.

Stockholders Agreement

The terms of the Stockholders Agreement have significantly been affected by the Allocation of Rights and Settlement Agreement and Agreement Regarding Ownership Interest in Israel Petroleum Company Limited, as discussed above. We are currently in litigation with ITC in this matter

Concurrently with the execution of the Contribution Agreement, Bontan Oil & Gas Corporation, ITC, Allied Ventures and Bontan entered into a Stockholders Agreement. Under the Stockholders Agreement, ITC, as the sole director of IPC Cayman, is responsible for the management of the business and affairs of IPC Cayman. The director will be liable to IPC Cayman and its stockholders only for willful misconduct or gross negligence in the management of the business and affairs of IPC Cayman. IPC Cayman will indemnify the director and its affiliates, and any agents, officers and employees of the director and its affiliates, from any loss or liability incurred as a result of any act or omission, or error of judgment, related to the director’s management of IPC Cayman unless the loss or liability results from the director’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.

ITC may not be removed as director by the stockholders of IPC Cayman other than (i) for willful misconduct that materially and adversely affects the project or (ii) in the event that a controlling interest in ITC is transferred to a person who is not a Qualified Buyer (as defined) and the management team of ITC is not substantially the same as the management team of ITC before the transfer. Removal of ITC as director for any such reason requires the affirmative vote of stockholders owning a majority of the ordinary shares of IPC Cayman, and appointment of a new director to replace ITC as director requires the affirmative vote of stockholders owning at least 80% of the ordinary shares of IPC Cayman. A Qualified Buyer is defined to mean any person that has experience in the oil and gas industry substantially equivalent to, or greater than, that of ITC.

If ITC transfers a majority of its ordinary shares of IPC Cayman to a Qualified Buyer, then the Qualified Buyer will have the sole authority to appoint and remove the director of IPC Cayman. However, in this case, stockholders owning a majority of the ordinary shares of IPC Cayman may remove the director only for willful misconduct that materially and adversely affects the project, and appointment of a new director will require the affirmative vote of stockholders owning at least 80% of the ordinary shares of IPC Cayman.

Under the Stockholders Agreement, stockholders owning a majority of the ordinary shares of IPC Cayman have the right to approve the following actions:

Expansion of the scope of IPC Cayman’s business beyond the acquisition, development and potential farm out or sale of the Myra and Sara licenses and the Benjamin permit and the exploitation and commercialization of those licenses and permit;

Sale or merger of IPC Cayman or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the IPC Cayman’s assets (other than a sale or farm out to an industry partner in connection with a commitment to conduct exploratory or development operations on the licenses and permit);

Admit additional owners to IPC Cayman;

Liquidate IPC Cayman;

Enter into any contract or agreement between IPC Cayman and ITC, Mr. Cooper, Allied Ventures or any affiliate of those persons;

Modify any compensation arrangement between IPC Cayman and ITC, Mr. Cooper, Allied Ventures or any affiliate of those persons;

Redeem any shares or other equity interest in IPC Cayman; and

Amend the organizational and internal operating documents of IPC Cayman.

Under the Stockholders Agreement, IPC Cayman will pay to ITC a monthly management fee of $20,000 for its services as director of IPC Cayman and is obligated to reimburse reasonable out-of pocket expenses that the director incurs on behalf of IPC Cayman. ITC is also entitled to receive certain commissions and fees related to the financing of the project and any farmout, option, sale, assignment or other transfer of all or a portion of the project.

The Stockholders Agreement provides for information rights and restrictions on transfer of the ordinary shares, including a right of first refusal.

Except for contracts entered into in the ordinary course of its business, there were no material contracts to which we are or have been a party to for the two years preceding this annual 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 is a discussion of the material United States Federal income tax consequences, under current law, applicable to a U.S. Holder (as defined below) of our common shares who holds such shares as capital assets. This discussion does not address all potentially relevant Federal income tax matters and it does not address consequences peculiar to persons subject to special provisions of Federal income tax law, such as those described below as excluded from the definition of a U.S. Holder. In addition, this discussion does not cover any state, local, or foreign tax consequences. (See “Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences” above.)

The following discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury Regulations, published Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) rulings, published administrative positions of the IRS and court decisions that are currently applicable, any or all of which could be materially and adversely changed, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time. In addition, this discussion does not consider the potential effects, both adverse and beneficial, of any recently proposed legislation which, if enacted, could be applied, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time.

The discussion below does not address potential tax effects relevant to our company or those tax considerations that depend upon circumstances specific to each investor. In addition, this discussion does not address the tax consequences that may be relevant to particular investors subject to special treatment under certain U.S. Federal income tax laws, such as, dealers in securities, tax-exempt entities, banks, insurance companies and non-U.S. Holders. Purchasers of the common stock should therefore satisfy themselves as to the overall tax consequences of their ownership of the common stock, including the State, local and foreign tax consequences thereof (which are not reviewed herein), and should consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.

U.S. Holders

As used herein, a “U.S. Holder” includes a beneficial holder of common shares of our company who is a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation or partnership created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof, any trust if a US court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more US persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, any entity created or organized in the United States which is taxable as a corporation for U.S. tax purposes and

any other person or entity whose ownership of common shares of our company is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. A U.S. Holder does not include persons subject to special provisions of Federal income tax law, such as tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, broker-dealers, non-resident alien individuals or foreign corporations whose ownership of our common shares is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States and shareholders who acquired their shares through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation.

Dividend Distribution on Shares of our Company

U.S. Holders receiving dividend distributions (including constructive dividends) with respect to the common shares of our company are required to include in gross income for United States Federal income tax purposes the gross amount of such distributions to the extent that we have current or accumulated earnings and profits, without reduction for any Canadian income tax withheld from such distributions. Such Canadian tax withheld may be deducted or may be credited against actual tax payable, subject to certain limitations and other complex rules, against the U.S. Holder’s United States Federal taxable income. See “Foreign Tax Credit” below. To the extent that distributions exceed our current or accumulated earnings and profits, they will be treated first as a return of capital to the extent of the shareholder’s basis in the common shares of our company and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of the common shares of our company. Preferential tax rates for net long term capital gains may be applicable to a U.S. Holder which is an individual, estate or trust.

In general, dividends paid on our common shares will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction provided to corporations receiving dividends from certain United States corporations.

Foreign Tax Credit

A U.S. Holder who pays (or who has had withheld from distributions) Canadian income tax with respect to the ownership of our common shares may be entitled, at the election of the U.S. Holder, to either a deduction or a tax credit for such foreign tax paid or withheld. This election is made on a year-by-year basis and generally applies to all foreign income taxes paid by (or withheld from) the U.S. Holder during that year. There are significant and complex limitations which apply to the credit, among which is the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of the U.S. Holder’s United States income tax liability that the U.S. Holder’s foreign source income bears to his or its world-wide taxable income. In determining the application of this limitation, the various items of income and deduction must be classified into foreign and domestic sources. Complex rules govern income such as “passive income”, “high withholding tax interest”, “financial services income”, “shipping income” and certain other classifications of income. A U.S. Holder who is treated as a domestic U.S. corporation owning 10% or more of our voting stock is also entitled to a deemed paid foreign tax credit in certain circumstances for the underlying foreign tax of our company related to dividends received or Subpart F income received from us. (See the discussion below of Controlled Foreign Corporations). The availability of the foreign tax credit and the application of the limitations on the foreign tax credit are fact specific and holders and prospective holders of our common shares should consult their own tax advisors regarding their individual circumstances.

Disposition of Common Shares

If a “U.S. Holder” is holding shares as a capital asset, a gain or loss realized on a sale of our common shares will generally be a capital gain or loss, and will be long-term if the shareholder has a holding period of more than one year. However, gains realized upon sale of our common shares may, under certain circumstances, be treated as ordinary income, if we were determined to be a “collapsible corporation” within the meaning of Code Section 341 based on the facts in existence on the date of the sale (See below for definition of “collapsible corporation”). The amount of gain or loss recognized by a selling U.S. Holder will be measured by the difference between (i) the amount realized on the sale and (ii) his tax basis in our common shares. Capital losses are deductible only to the extent of capital gains. However, in the case of taxpayers other than corporations (U.S.)$3,000 ($1,500 for married individuals filing separately) of capital losses are deductible against ordinary income annually. In the case of individuals and other non-corporate taxpayers, capital losses that are not currently deductible may be carried forward to other years. In the case of corporations, capital losses that are not currently deductible are carried back to each of the three years preceding the loss year and forward to each of the five years succeeding the loss year.

A “collapsible corporation” is a corporation that is formed or availed principally to manufacture, construct, produce, or purchase prescribed types or property that the corporation holds for less than three years and that generally would produce ordinary income on its disposition, with a view to the stockholders selling or exchanging their stock and thus realizing gain before the corporation realizes two thirds of the taxable income to be derived from prescribed property. Prescribed property includes: stock in trade and inventory; property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business; unrealized receivables or fees, consisting of rights to payment for noncapital assets delivered or to be delivered, or services rendered or to be rendered to the extent not previously included in income, but excluding receivables from selling property that is not prescribed; and property gain on the sale of which is subject to the capital gain/ordinary loss rule. Generally, a shareholder who owns directly or indirectly 5 percent or less of the outstanding stock of the corporation may treat gain on the sale of his shares as capital gain.

Other Considerations for U.S. Holders

In the following circumstances, the above sections of this discussion may not describe the United States Federal income tax consequences resulting from the holding and disposition of common shares of the Registrant. Our management is of the opinion that there is little, if not, any likelihood that we will be deemed a “Foreign Personal Holding Company”, a “Foreign Investment Company” or a “Controlled Foreign Corporation” (each as defined below) under current and anticipated conditions.

Foreign Personal Holding Company

If at any time during a taxable year more than 50% of the total combined voting power or the total value of our outstanding shares is owned, actually or constructively, by five or fewer individuals who are citizens or residents of the United States and 60% or more of our gross income for such year was derived from certain passive sources (e.g., from dividends received from its subsidiaries), we would be treated as a “foreign personal holding company.” In that event, U.S. Holders that hold common shares in our capital would be required to include in income for such year their allocable portion of our passive income which would have been treated as a dividend had that passive income actually been distributed.

Foreign Investment Company

If 50% or more of the combined voting power or total value of our outstanding shares are held, actually or constructively, by citizens or residents of the United States, United States domestic partnerships or corporations, or estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts (as defined by the Code Section 7701(a)(31)), and we are found to be engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities, commodities, or any interest therein, it is possible that we might be treated as a “foreign investment company” as defined in Section 1246 of the Code, causing all or part of any gain realized by a U.S. Holder selling or exchanging our common shares to be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gains.

Passive Foreign Investment Company

A U.S. Holder who holds stock in a foreign corporation during any year in which such corporation qualifies as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) is subject to U.S. federal income taxation of that foreign corporation under one of two alternative tax methods at the election of each such U.S. Holder.

Section 1297 of the Code defines a PFIC as a corporation that is not formed in the United States and, for any taxable year, either (i) 75% or more of its gross income is “passive income,” which includes interest, dividends and certain rents and royalties or (ii) the average percentage, by value (or, if the company is a controlled foreign corporation or makes an election, adjusted tax basis), of its assets that produce or are held for the production of “passive income” is 50% or more. For taxable years of U.S. persons beginning after December 31, 1997, and for tax years of foreign corporations ending with or within such tax years, the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 provides that publicly traded corporations must apply this test on a fair market value basis only. The Registrant does not believe that it is a PFIC.

As a PFIC, each U.S. Holder must determine under which of the alternative tax methods it wishes to be taxed. Under one method, a U.S. Holder who elects in a timely manner to treat the Registrant as a Qualified Electing Fund (“QEF”), as defined in the Code, (an “Electing U.S. Holder”) will be subject, under Section 1293 of the Code, to current federal income tax for any taxable year in which we qualify as a PFIC on his pro-rata share of our (i) “net capital gain” (the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss), which will be taxed as long-term capital gain to the Electing U.S. Holder and (ii) “ordinary earnings” (the excess of earnings and profits over net capital gain), which will be taxed as ordinary income to the Electing U.S. Holder, in each case, for the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which (or with which) our taxable year ends, regardless of whether such amounts are actually distributed. Such an election, once made shall apply to all subsequent years unless revoked with the consent of the IRS.

A QEF election also allows the Electing U.S. Holder to (i) generally treat any gain realized on the disposition of his common shares (or deemed to be realized on the pledge of his common shares) as capital gain; (ii) treat his share of our net capital gain, if any, as long-term capital gain instead of ordinary income, and (iii) either avoid interest charges resulting from PFIC status altogether (see discussion of interest charge below), or make an annual election, subject to certain limitations, to defer payment of current taxes on his share of our annual realized net capital gain and ordinary earnings subject, however, to an interest charge. If the Electing U.S. Holder is an individual, such an interest charge would be not deductible.

The procedure a U.S. Holder must comply with in making an timely QEF election will depend on whether the year of the election is the first year in the U.S. Holder’s holding period in which we are a PFIC. If the U.S. Holder makes a QEF election in such first year, (sometimes referred to as a “Pedigreed QEF Election”), then the U.S. Holder may make the QEF election by simply filing the appropriate documents at the time the U.S. Holder files its tax return for such first year. If, however, we qualified as a PFIC in a prior year, then the U.S. Holder may make an “Unpedigreed QEF Election” by recognizing as an “excess distribution” (i) under the rules of Section 1291 (discussed below), any gain that he would otherwise recognize if the U.S. Holder sold his stock on the qualification date (Deemed Sale Election) or (ii) if we are a controlled foreign corporation (“CFC”), the Holder’s pro rata share of the corporation’s earnings and profits (Deemed Dividend Election) (But see “Elimination of Overlap Between Subpart F Rules and PFIC Provisions”). The effect of either the deemed sale election or the deemed dividend election is to pay all prior deferred tax, to pay interest on the tax deferral and to be treated thereafter as a Pedigreed QEF as discussed in the prior paragraph. With respect to a situation in which a Pedigreed QEF election is made, if we no longer qualify as a PFIC in a subsequent year, normal Code rules and not the PFIC rules will apply.

If a U.S. Holder has not made a QEF Election at any time (a “Non-electing U.S. Holder”), then special taxation rules under Section 1291 of the Code will apply to (i) gains realized on the disposition (or deemed to be realized by reason of a pledge) of his common shares and (ii) certain “excess distributions”, as specially defined, by our company. An “excess distribution” is any current-year distribution in respect of PFIC stock that represents a ratable portion of the total distributions in respect of the stock during the year that exceed 125 percent of the average amount of distributions in respect of the stock during the three preceding years.

A Non-electing U.S. Holder generally would be required to pro-rate all gains realized on the disposition of his common shares and all excess distributions over the entire holding period for the common shares. All gains or excess distributions allocated to prior years of the U.S. Holder (other than years prior to our first taxable year during such U.S. Holder’s holding period and beginning after January, 1987 for which it was a PFIC) would be taxed at the highest tax rate for each such prior year applicable to ordinary income. The Non-electing U.S. Holder also would be liable for interest on the deferred tax liability for each such prior year calculated as if such liability had been due with respect to each such prior year. A Non-electing U.S. Holder that is an individual is not allowed a deduction for interest on the deferred tax liability. The portions of gains and distributions that are not characterized as “excess distributions” are subject to tax in the current year under the normal tax rules of the Internal Revenue Code.

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a Non-electing U.S. Holder holds common shares, then we will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such common Shares, even if it is no longer by definition a PFIC. A Non-electing U.S. Holder may terminate this deemed PFIC status by electing to recognize gain (which will be taxed under the rules discussed above for Non-Electing U.S. Holders) as if such common shares had been sold on the last day of the last taxable year for which it was a PFIC.

Under Section 1291(f) of the Code, the Department of the Treasury has issued proposed regulations that would treat as taxable certain transfers of PFIC stock by Non-electing U.S. Holders that are generally not otherwise taxed, such as gifts, exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganizations, and transfers at death.

If a U.S. Holder makes a QEF Election that is not a Pedigreed Election (i.e., it is made after the first year during which we are a PFIC and the U.S. Holder holds our shares) (a “Unpedigreed Election”), the QEF rules apply prospectively but do not apply to years prior to the year in which the QEF first becomes effective. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the specific consequences of making a Non-Pedigreed QEF Election.

Certain special, generally adverse, rules will apply with respect to the common shares while we are a PFIC whether or not it is treated as a QEF. For example under Section 1297(b)(6) of the Code (as in effect prior to the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997), a U.S. Holder who uses PFIC stock as security for a loan (including a margin loan) will, except as may be provided in regulations, be treated as having made a taxable disposition of such stock.

The foregoing discussion is based on currently effective provisions of the Code, existing and proposed regulations thereunder, and current administrative rulings and court decisions, all of which are subject to change. Any such change could affect the validity of this discussion. In addition, the implementation of certain aspects of the PFIC rules requires the issuance of regulations which in many instances have not been promulgated and which may have retroactive effect. There can be no assurance that any of these proposals will be enacted or promulgated, and if so, the form they will take or the effect that they may have on this discussion. Accordingly, and due to the complexity of the PFIC rules, U.S. Holders of the Registrant are strongly urged to consult their own tax advisors concerning the impact of these rules on their investment in our company. For a discussion of the impact of the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 on a U.S. Holder of a PFIC, see “Mark-to-Market Election For PFIC Stock Under the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997” and “Elimination of Overlap Between Subpart F Rules and PFIC Provisions” below.

Mark-to-Market Election for PFIC Stock Under the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997

The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 provides that a U.S. Holder of a PFIC may make a mark-to-market election with respect to the stock of the PFIC if such stock is marketable as defined below. This provision is designed to provide a current inclusion provision for persons that are Non-Electing Holders. Under the election, any excess of the fair market value of the PFIC stock at the close of the tax year over the Holder’s adjusted basis in the stock is included in the Holder’s income. The Holder may deduct any excess of the adjusted basis of the PFIC stock over its fair market value at the close of the tax year. However, deductions are limited to the net mark-to-market gains on the stock that the Holder included in income in prior tax years, or so called “unreversed inclusions.” For purposes of the election, PFIC stock is marketable if it is regularly traded on (1) a national securities exchange that is registered with the SEC, (2) the national market system established under Section II A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or (3) an exchange or market that the IRS determines has rules sufficient to ensure that the market price represents legitimate and sound fair market value.

A Holder’s adjusted basis of PFIC stock is increased by the income recognized under the mark-to-market election and decreased by the deductions allowed under the election. If a U.S. Holder owns PFIC stock indirectly through a foreign entity, the basis adjustments apply to the basis of the PFIC stock in the hands of the foreign entity for the purpose of applying the PFIC rules to the tax treatment of the U.S. owner. Similar basis adjustments are made to the basis of the property through which the U.S. persons hold the PFIC stock.

Income recognized under the mark-to-market election and gain on the sale of PFIC stock with respect to which an election is made is treated as ordinary income. Deductions allowed under the election and loss on the sale of PFIC with respect to which an election is made, to the extent that the amount of loss does not exceed the net mark-to-market gains previously included, are treated as ordinary losses. The U.S. or foreign source of any income or losses is determined as if the amount were a gain or loss from the sale of stock in the PFIC.

If PFIC stock is owned by a CFC (discussed below), the CFC is treated as a U.S. person that may make the mark-to-market election. Amounts includible in the CFC’s income under the election are treated as foreign personal holding company income, and deductions are allocable to foreign personal holding company income.

The above provisions apply to tax years of U.S. persons beginning after December 31, 1997, and to tax years of foreign corporations ending with or within such tax years of U.S. persons.

The rules of Code Section 1291 applicable to nonqualified funds as discussed above generally do not apply to a U.S. Holder for tax years for which a mark-to-market election is in effect. If Code Section 1291 is applied and a mark-to-market election was in effect for any prior tax year, the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the PFIC stock is treated as beginning immediately after the last tax year of the election. However, if a taxpayer makes a mark-to-market election for PFIC stock that is a nonqualified fund after the beginning of a taxpayer’s holding period for such stock, a co-ordination rule applies to ensure that the taxpayer does not avoid the interest charge with respect to amounts attributable to periods before the election.

Controlled Foreign Corporation Status

If more than 50% of the voting power of all classes of stock or the total value of the stock of our company is owned, directly or indirectly, by U.S. Holders, each of whom own after applying rules of attribution 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of our company, we would be treated as a “controlled foreign corporation” or “CFC” under Subpart F of the Code. This classification would bring into effect many complex results including the required inclusion by such 10% U.S. Holders in income of their pro rata shares of “Subpart F income” (as defined by the Code) of our company and our earnings invested in “U.S. property” (as defined by Section 956 of the Code). In addition, under Section 1248 of the Code if we are considered a CFC at any time during the five year period ending with the sale or exchange of its stock, gain from the sale or exchange of common shares of our company by such a 10% U.S. Holder of our common stock at any time during the five year period ending with the sale or exchange is treated as ordinary dividend income to the extent of our earnings and profits attributable to the stock sold or exchanged. Because of the complexity of Subpart F, and because we may never be a CFC, a more detailed review of these rules is beyond of the scope of this discussion.

Elimination of Overlap Between Subpart F Rules and PFIC Provisions

Under the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, a PFIC that is also a CFC will not be treated as a PFIC with respect to certain 10% U.S. Holders. For the exception to apply, (i) the corporation must be a CFC within the meaning of section 957(a) of the Code and (ii) the U.S. Holder must be subject to the current inclusion rules of Subpart F with respect to such corporation (i.e., the U.S. Holder is a “United States Shareholder,” see “Controlled Foreign Corporation,” above). The exception only applies to that portion of a U.S. Holder’s holding period beginning after December 31, 1997. For that portion of a United States Holder before January 1, 1998, the ordinary PFIC and QEF rules continue to apply.

As a result of this new provision, if we were ever to become a CFC, U.S. Holders who are currently taxed on their pro rata shares of Subpart F income of a PFIC which is also a CFC will not be subject to the PFIC provisions with respect to the same stock if they have previously made a Pedigreed QEF Election. The PFIC provisions will however continue to apply to U.S Holders for any periods in which Subpart F does not apply (for example he is no longer a 10% Holder or we are no longer a CFC) and to U.S. Holders that did not make a Pedigreed QEF Election unless the U.S. Holder elects to recognize gain on the PFIC shares held in our company as if those shares had been sold.

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.

The types of risk exposure and the way in which such exposures are managed are as follows:

(a)	Concentration risk:

Concentration risks exist in cash and cash equivalents because significant balances are maintained with one financial institution and a brokerage firm. The risk is mitigated because the financial institutions are international banks and the brokerage firm is well known Canadian brokerage firm with good market reputation and all its assets are backed up by a major Canadian bank. Our key asset, indirect working interest in two off shore drilling licenses is located in Israel.

(b)	Market price risk:

Market risk primarily arises from the Company’s short term investments in marketable securities which accounted for approximately 20% of total assets of the Company as at March 31, 2011 (13% at March 31, 2010). Further, the Company’s holding in one Canadian marketable security accounted for approximately 40% (2010: 57%) of the total short term investment in marketable securities or 8% (2010: 9%) of total assets at March 31, 2011.

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

(c)	Liquidity risk:

The Company monitors its liquidity position regularly to assess whether it has the funds necessary to fulfill planned exploration commitments on its petroleum and natural gas properties or that viable options are available to fund such commitments from new equity issuances or alternative sources such as farm-out agreements. However, as an exploration company at an early stage of development and without significant internally generated cash flow, 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 on-going litigations could have an impact on the Company’s future ability to access capital on terms that are acceptable to the Company. The Company has so far been able to raise the required financing to meet its obligations on time.

The Company maintains limited cash for its operational needs while most of its surplus cash is invested in short term marketable securities which are available on short notice to fund the Company’s operating costs and other financial demands.

(d)	Currency risk

The operating results and financial position of the Company are reported in Canadian dollars. Approximately 6% of total monetary assets at March 31, 2011 (23% as at March 31, 2010), and approximately 65% of its liabilities as at that date ( 87% as at March 31, 2010) were held in US dollars. The results of the Company’s operations are therefore subject to currency transaction and translation risk.

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:

As at March 31,	2011	2010
One US Dollar to CDN Dollar	0.9718	1.0156

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, 2011 were as follows: (all figures in CDN$ equivalent)

	2011

Cash & short term investments	$148,505
Accounts payable and accrual	(433,636)
Net liabilities	$ (285,131)

Based on the above net exposure, a 5% depreciation of the Canadian dollar against US dollar will increase net liabilities by $14,257 while a 5% appreciation of the Canadian dollar against US dollar will reduce liability by $ 14,257

Other risks:

Our business is also subject to certain risks, which may negatively affect it. Certain of the risks are described below in addition to elsewhere in this report:

(a)	Exploration and Development

The business of exploring for, developing and producing oil and gas involves a high degree of risk. Oil and gas reserves may never be found or, if discovered, may not be result in production at reasonable costs or profitability. The business of exploring, developing and producing is also capital intensive and, to the extent that cash flows from operating activities and external sources become limited or unavailable, our ability and of our operating partners to meet our respective financial obligations which are necessary to maintain our interests in the underlying properties could be impaired, resulting in the loss of those interests.

(b)	Dependence Upon Operating Manager

Our oil and gas activities are conducted through IPC Cayman in respect of which we are not the operator. We are dependent upon our operating manager for technical support. If our operating manager is unable to fulfill his own contractual obligations, our interests could be jeopardized, resulting in project delays, additional costs and loss of the interests.

(c)	Environmental

Our oil and gas operations are subject to environmental regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will likely require stricter standards and enforcement, increased costs, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect our operations. Environmental hazards may exist on the properties in which we hold interests which are presently unknown to us and which have been caused by previous or existing owners or operators of the properties or by illegal mining activities.

(d)	Governmental

Our current project requires registration and approvals and permits from the Israel Ministry of Infrastructure. To the extent such approvals are required and not obtained; we may be delayed or prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of properties. Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of oil and gas companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on us and cause increases in capital expenditures or require abandonment or delays in development of new properties. Although the Israel government have been stable recently, there is no assurance that political and economic conditions will remain stable. Political and economic instability may impede our ability to continue our exploration activities in the manner currently contemplated.

(e)	Foreign Operations

We are exposed to risks of political instability and changes in government policies, laws and regulations in Israel. Any changes in regulations or shifts in political conditions are beyond our control and may adversely affect our business. Our operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations, including those with respect to restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, income taxes, expropriation of property, employment, land use, water use, environmental legislation and mine safety. There is no assurance that permits can be obtained, or that delays will not occur in obtaining all necessary permits or renewals of such permits for existing properties or additional permits required in connection with future exploration and development programs. In the event of a dispute arising out of our foreign operations, we may be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of foreign courts or may not be successful in subjecting foreign persons to the jurisdiction of courts in Canada. We may also be hindered or prevented from enforcing our rights with respect to a government entity or instrumentality because of the doctrine of sovereign immunity.

ITEM 14 – MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS AND USE OF PROCEEDS

ITEM 15 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

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, 2011, the management carried out a comprehensive review and up date 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, 2011, 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

Not applicable, pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

ITEM 16 (A) AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERTS

As at the Company’s financial year ended March 31, 2011, the audit committee consisted of two independent directors, one of whom, Mr. Dean Bradley would be determined as a financial expert, as that term is defined under Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Mr. Bradley’s background is described under Item 6(A) Directors and senior management.

ITEM 16 (B) CODE OF ETHICS

We have adopted a Code of Ethics, which applies to all employees, consultants, officers and directors. A copy of our current code of ethics was included in the exhibits to the annual report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 (Exhibit Item 19(b) 11).

A copy of our Code of Ethics can be obtained by writing to our corporate office at 47 Avenue Road, Suite 200, Toronto, ON M5R 2G3 attention: Chief Executive Officer.

ITEM 16 (C) PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT’S FEES AND SERVICES

The following outlines the expenditures for accounting fees for the last two fiscal periods ended:

March 31,	2011	2010
Audit fee	$60,000	$60,000
Other services	9,982	2,000

Under our existing policies, the audit committee must approve all audit and non-audit related services provided by the auditors.

ITEM 16 (G) – CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Our securities are listed on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board of NASDAQ. There are no significant ways in which our corporate governance practices differ from those followed by domestic companies under the listing standards of that exchange except for proxy delivery requirements. The OTC Bulletin Board, administered by NASDAQ requires the solicitation of proxies and delivery of proxy statements for all shareholder meetings, and requires that these proxies be solicited pursuant to a proxy statement that conforms to the proxy rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. As a foreign private issuer, the Company is exempt from the proxy rules set forth in Sections 14(a), 14(b), 14(c) and 14(f) of the Act. The Company solicits proxies in accordance with applicable rules and regulations in Canada.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders of Bontan Corporation Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Bontan Corporation Inc., which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as at March 31, 2011 and 2010, and the consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, comprehensive loss and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and statement of cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended March 31, 2011, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bontan Corporation Inc. as at March 31, 2011 and 2010, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

Emphasis of Matter

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2 in the consolidated financial statements which describes matters and conditions that indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Other Matter

See Note 24 for differences between Canadian and United States generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Canadian Dollars)

March 31, 2011 and 2010

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Bontan Corporation Inc. (“the Company”) incorporated in Ontario on April 9, 1973, is a diversified natural resource company that invests in oil and gas exploration and development projects.

The Company holds an indirect 5.23% working interest in two off-shore drilling licenses in the Levantine Basin, approximately forty kilometres off the West coast of Israel.

The Company does not currently own any oil and gas properties with proven reserves.

2. 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) as described in Note 24 “Differences from United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”.

Going concern

Management has prepared these consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates that assets will be realized and liabilities discharged in the normal course of business as they come due. To this point, all operational activities and the overhead costs have been funded from the available cash and short term investments and by equity issuances

The Company has working capital of approximately $ 1.7 million and accumulated deficit of approximately $ 41 million. While the Company’s commitment to meet its share of the exploration and development obligations under its current project is covered to the extent of US $28 million as explained in Note 8, it is still responsible for its share of any costs overruns. Further, the Company has entered into an extensive litigation with the minority shareholder and manager of its subsidiary to protect its interest in the project. Litigations are still in progress and may involve further substantial legal costs, which can not be reasonably estimated at this stage.

The Company will have to secure new cash resources to meet these obligations. Management is currently evaluating and pursuing funding alternatives, including additional farm-out agreements and new equity issuances. While the management has so far been successful in raising the required equity financing, there is no assurance that these initiatives will continue to be successful. Uncertainty in global capital markets and pending litigations could have a negative impact on the Company’s ability to access capital in the future.

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to access sufficient capital to defend its interest, complete exploration and development activities, identify commercial oil and gas reserves and to ultimately have 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 the Company was unable to realize its assets and settle its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations. Such adjustments could be material.

3. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and of the following subsidiaries:

a.	Israel Oil & Gas Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary

b.	1843343 Ontario Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary incorporated in Ontario on January 31, 2011 and has no activity since its inception.

The Company has consolidated the results of Israel Petroleum Company, Limited, a Cayman Island limited company incorporated on November 12, 2009, in which Israel Oil & Gas Corporation owns a 76.79% equity interest (“IPC Cayman”) for the period from April 1, 2010 up to May 18, 2010 and since then IPC Cayman financials have been de-consolidated due to loss of control as explained in note 25. The accounting for this investment is recorded at the lower of the carrying value and the recoverable amount.

All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following paragraphs describe the significant accounting policies.

Oil and Gas Properties

The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for its oil & gas operations, which are held in Israel.

The costs of acquiring interests in oil & gas properties are carried at cost until they are brought into production, at which time they are depleted on a unit-of-production method based on estimated recoverable proven oil & gas reserves. When a property is subsequently abandoned or sold, its cost is written off against income in the year of abandonment. Oil & gas properties which the Company and its partners have no intention to develop, and which management believes have little or no value, are written down to their estimated fair value.

The costs of drilling and equipping wells, both exploratory and development, and other exploration costs, including geological and geophysical costs, are capitalized as incurred. Costs include any cash consideration and the fair market value of any shares and/or options issued for the acquisition of oil & gas interests. Oil & gas interests acquired under option or participation agreements, whereby payments are made at the sole discretion of the Company, are recorded in the accounts at the time of payment.

In applying the full cost method, the Company applies a ceiling test to capitalized costs to ensure that such costs do not exceed estimated future net revenues from production of proven reserves at year end market prices less future production, administrative, financing, site restoration, and income tax costs plus the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value of unproved properties.

All of the Company's oil & gas activities are conducted jointly with others. The Company's accounts reflect only the Company's proportionate interest in these activities (see note 25).

Revenue Recognition

Revenues from the production of oil and natural gas properties in which the Company has an interest with joint venture partners are recognized, on the basis of the Company’s working interest in those properties (the entitlement method), on receipt of a statement of account from the operators of the properties.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)

Financial Instruments

Short-term investments are investments that are either highly liquid or are to be disposed of within a one year period. All short term investments are considered available for sale type of investments.

All financial instruments are measured at fair value on initial recognition of the instrument. Measurement in subsequent periods depends on whether the financial instrument has been classified as “held-for-trading”, “available-for-sale”, “held-to-maturity”, “loans and receivables”, or “other financial liabilities” as defined by the applicable accounting standards.

Cash is designated as “held-for-trading” and is measured at carrying value, which approximates fair value.

Short term investments which consist mostly of marketable securities are designated as “available-for-sale” and measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded in other comprehensive income until the security is sold or if an unrealized loss is considered other than temporary, the unrealized loss is expensed. Unrealized gains and losses represent the net difference between the total average costs of short term assets on hand and their fair value based on quoted market prices for the marketable securities.

Other Receivables are designated as “loans and receivable” and are carried at amortized cost. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are designated as ‘other financial liabilities” and are carried at amortized cost.

The CICA Handbook Section 3862 – “Financial Instruments – Disclosure”, requires an entity to classify fair value measurements in accordance with an established hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs in valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The levels and inputs which may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

·	Level 1 – fair values are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

·	Level 2 – fair values are based on inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); or

·	Level 3 – applies to assets and liabilities for inputs that are not based on observable market data, which are unobservable inputs.

Cash and short term investments are classified as a level 1 input.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The carrying values of property and equipment and other long lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the recoverable amount may be less than the carrying value. The determination of when to recognize an impairment loss for a long-lived asset to be held and used is made when its carrying value exceeds the total undiscounted cash flows expected from its use and eventual disposition. When impairment is indicated, the amount of the impairment loss is determined as the excess of the carrying value of the amount over its fair value based on estimated discounted cash flows from use or disposition.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional and reporting 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 Company’s subsidiaries use the US Dollar as the functional currency. However, these subsidiaries are not self-sustaining but are integrated to Bontan Corporation Inc since they rely on the Company to fund their operations. Hence translation gains and losses of these subsidiaries are charged to the consolidated statement of operations.

Office Equipment and Furniture

Office equipment and furniture are amortised over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Office furniture 20%– declining balance basis

Computers 33% – declining balance basis

Software 20% - declining balance basis

New purchases during the fiscal year are amortized at half the applicable rate.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive income include net unrealised gains and losses on short term investments net of applicable taxes, held as available for sale. Accumulated other comprehensive income is included on the consolidated balance sheet as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

Credit Risk and the Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted the recommendations of the Emerging Issues Committee Abstract EIC -173, “Credit Risk and the Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” which states that an entity’s own credit and the credit risk of the counterparty should be taken into account in determining the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities. These recommendations were particularly applied in evaluating the fair values of the Company’s short term investments.

Asset Retirement Obligation

The Company recognizes and measures the liabilities for obligations associated with the retirement of petroleum and natural gas properties when those obligations result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of the asset. The obligation is measured at fair value and the related costs recorded as part of the carrying value of the related asset. In subsequent periods, the liability is adjusted for the change in present value and any changes in the amount or timing of the underlying future cash flows required to settle the obligation. The asset retirement costs included in petroleum and natural gas costs are depleted or amortized into income in accordance with the Company’s policies pertaining to those assets. Actual costs to retire petroleum and natural gas properties are deducted from the accrued liability as these costs are incurred. There were no asset retirement costs recorded during the fiscal year.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the 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. A valuation allowance against future tax assets is provided to the extent that the realization of these future tax assets is not more likely than not.

Stock-Based Compensation Plan

The Company follows a fair value based method of accounting for all Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments to employees and non-employees. The fair value of all share purchase options is expensed over their vesting period with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus. Upon exercise of share purchase options, the consideration paid by the option holder, together with the amount previously recognized in contributed surplus, is recorded as an increase to share capital. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to calculate the fair value of share purchase options at the date of grant.

The quoted market price of the Company’s shares on the date of issuance under any stock compensation plan is considered as fair value of the shares issued.

Warrants

When the Company issues Units under a private placement comprising common shares and warrants, the Company follows the relative fair value method of accounting for warrants attached to and issued with common shares of the Company. Under this method, the fair value of warrants issued is estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model which is added to fair value of the common shares determined using the stock price at the date of issuance and the percentage relative fair values determined. The fair value of the common shares and the warrants are proportionately adjusted to the net proceeds received. The fair value is then related to the total of the net proceeds received on issuance of the Common shares.

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.

Business combinations

In January 2009, the CICA issued Section 1582, “Business Combinations”, Section 1601, “Consolidations”, and Section 1602, “Non-Controlling Interests”. These sections replace the former Section 1581, “Business Combinations”, and Section 1600, “Consolidated Financial Statements”, and establish a new section for accounting for a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary.

Sections 1582 and 1602 will require net assets, non-controlling interests and goodwill acquired in a business combination to be recorded at fair value and non-controlling interests will be reported as a component of equity. In addition, the definition of a business is expanded and is described as an integrated set of activities and assets that are capable of being managed to provide a return to investors or economic benefits to owners. Acquisition costs are not part of the consideration and are to be expensed when incurred. Section 1601 establishes standards for the preparation of consolidated financial statements.

The company adopted these standards effective fiscal year 2010.

Use of Estimates and Measurement Uncertainty

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. Some of the key areas where estimates and assumptions are normally used include valuation of stocks, warrants and options, ascertaining useful lives of office equipment and furniture, impairment of short term investments and the recording of accruals.

Future Accounting Pronouncements

International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)

In January 2006, the CICA’s Accounting Standards Board ("AcSB") formally adopted the strategy of replacing Canadian GAAP with IFRS for Canadian enterprises with public accountability. The current conversion timetable calls for financial reporting under IFRS for accounting periods commencing on or after January 1, 2011. On February 13, 2008 the AcSB confirmed that the use of IFRS will be required in 2011 for publicly accountable profit-oriented enterprises. For these entities, IFRS will be required for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011.

Effective April 1, 2011 the company will adopt IFRS as the basis for preparing its consolidated financial statements which will require re-statement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Company for the year ended March 31, 2011. The company will prepare its financial statements for the quarter ending June 30, 2011 in accordance with IFRS, which will include comparative data for the prior year also prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The initial phase of implementation included conceptual application of the new rules, analysis of the Company’s accounting data and assessment of key areas that may be impacted. In this phase, short term investments and oil & gas properties and related expenditure were identified as key areas. The Company has assessed the adoption of IFRS for 2011 and currently, the financial reporting impact of the transition to IFRS is not expected to be significant.

Other accounting pronouncements with future effective dates are not expected to have a significant impact on the financial reporting of the Company.

5.	SHORT TERM INVESTMENTS

Marketable securities are designated as “available-for-sale”.

Marketable securities are stated at fair value based on quoted market prices on the balance sheet as at March 31, 2011. An unrealized gain of $ 2,864,560 for the year was included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss and accumulated other comprehensive income.

As at March 31, 2011, the management concluded that certain marketable securities had suffered decline in their values which were unlikely to be recovered in the near future. Since this is a loss in value that is other than temporary decline, the cumulative loss of $386,672 has been removed from other comprehensive income and recognised in net income even though these investments have not been de-recognised.

As at March 31, 2011, the Company held warrants in certain marketable securities which are exercisable at its option to convert into an equal number of common shares of the said securities. The total exercise price of these warrants was $75,800 (as at March 31, 2010:$119,217) and the market value of the underlying securities was $14,655 (as at March 31, 2010: $19,506). These warrants and the underlying unrealised gains and losses have not been accounted for in the financial statements since the Company has not yet determined if it would exercise these warrants when they become exercisable. The warrants expire between March 26, 2012 and April 26, 2012. Warrants whose exercise cost was $250,000 and market value was $nil as at June 5, 2010 expired unexercised on June 5, 2010.

6. PREPAID CONSULTING SERVICES

Prepaid consulting services relates to the fair value of shares and options issued under the Company’s Consultants’ Stock Compensation and Stock Option Plans to consultants for services that will be performed during the period subsequent to the balance sheet date. Changes during the year were as follows:

(a)	In August 2010, 950,000 options were issued to eight consultants and were fully vested and expensed as at March 31, 2011. See Note 12 (b) for further details.

(b)	During the year, 135,000 shares were issued to three consultants under 2009 Consultant Stock Compensation Plan. See note 11(i) for further details.

(i)	Under a new agreement entered on March 25, 2010 between the Company, IPC Cayman and three other joint venture partners (“new agreement”), the company was entitled to increase its working interest from 10% to 11% by paying an additional US$ 240,000. This amount was paid during the fiscal year 2011.

(iii)

The operator of the project acquired 5% working interest for US$1.2 million proportionately from the consortium partners. The company’s share amounted to US$135,936, which was received by IPC Cayman but was not refunded to the Company. As a result of current litigation and de-consolidation of IPC Cayman, management decided not to account for this receivable.

Key developments during the year ended March 31, 2011

On October 13, 2010, IPC Cayman and IPC Israel 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 Israel’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 Israel and certain voting and management rights related to IPC Israel.

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

c)	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 matter is currently under dispute and litigation between the Company and IPC Cayman management.(Note 14)

12. STOCK OPTION PLANS – (continued)

(i)

In August 2010, 950,000 options were allotted to eight consultants including 300,000 options valued at $57,262 to the three directors. These options are for five year term expiring on August 18, 2015 and can be exercised to acquire equal number of common shares at an exercise price of USD$0.35. These options were valued at $181,329 (US$178,236) using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Risk free interest rate

Expected dividend

Expected volatility (based on previous 262 weeks average market price)

Expected life

Exercise price

Market price at August 18, 2010

Nil

US$0.22

Option price models used for calculating fair value of options require input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected price volatility. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore the models do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of the Company’s options.

(c)	Details of weighted average remaining life of the options granted and outstanding are as follows:

March 31,	2011	2010

Number of options outstanding and exercisable	5,775,000	4,825,000
Exercise price in US$	0.18	0.15
Weighted average remaining contractual life	3.62 years	4 years

The options can be exercised at any time after vesting within the exercise period in accordance with the applicable option agreement. The exercise price was more than the market price on the date of the grants for 2,945,000 options and less than the market price for the balance of 2,830,000 options.

The Company had approximately 73 million warrants and 5.8 million options, which were not exercised as at March 31, 2011. Inclusion of these warrants and options 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.

20. PENDING DISPUTES

Actions taken in Israel:

On January 4, 2011, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Israel Oil & Gas Corporation (the “Subsidiary”) filed a petition for the granting of a temporary injunction against Shaldieli Ltd. (“Shaldieli”), Mr. Yaron Yenni, Upswing Capital Ltd., Asia Development (A.D.B.M.) Ltd., Howard H. Cooper (“Cooper”), International Three Crown Petroleum LLC, JKP Petroleum Company Limited, Israel Petroleum Company Limited, and IPC Oil & Gas (Israel) Limited Partnership (the “Defendants”), before the Economic Department of the Tel Aviv-Jaffa District Court. Court was requested to stop and to prevent the completion of the transaction (“Shaldieli transaction”) which had been signed by and between IPC Cayman and Shaldieli, which involved a breach of agreements and undertakings between the Company and IPC Cayman.

On January 12, 2011, the Company and the Subsidiary filed an action against the Defendants, before the Economic Deparment of the Tel Aviv-Jaffa District Court, in which declaratory remedies and the issuance of permanent injunctions against the Shaldieli transaction were sought. The Company argued that the Shaldieli transaction could not be implemented without its consent and that, in light of the fact that it was opposed to the Shaldieli transaction, it could not be completed. Should the Shaldieli transaction be completed, the Company would incur irreversible damage, as its rights to the “Sarah” and “Myra” gas and oil exploration licenses would be significantly diluted. Accordingly, declaratory remedies were sought with regard to the Company’s rights pursuant to the agreements between the parties, as well as permanent injunctions against the completion of the Shaldieli transaction.

On January 15, 2011, the Company’s petition for a temporary injunction was denied by the District Court. On January 20, 2011, its petition for leave to appeal against the decision which had been handed down by the District Court was denied by the Supreme Court.

20. PENDING DISPUTES - continued

On January 23, 2011, a Statement of Counterclaim against the Company and the Subsidiary was filed by International Three Crown Petroleum LLC and Israel Petroleum Company Limited (hereinafter: the “Plaintiffs in Counterclaim”), for monetary damages in the amount of NIS 18 million ( approximately US$ 5 million), and for an order cancelling the Company’s shares in IPC Cayman, with respect to contractual arguments of breach of the agreements between the parties. The Plaintiffs in Counterclaim argued that the Company had failed to comply with its monetary undertakings pursuant to the agreements between the parties. It was further argued that, in view of the breach by the Company (and the Subsidiary) of their undertakings vis-à-vis IPC Cayman, the Company had lost its rights to the shares in IPC Cayman.

On April 14, 2011, the Company filed an amended Statement of Claim to the Statement of Claim initially filed on January 12, 2011. The amended Statement of Claim in the action includes a claim in the amount of NIS 25 million (approximately US$7 million) against all of the Defendants, a claim for a declaratory remedy and permanent injunctions, a claim for the production of accounts and other remedies relating to the governance of IPC Cayman and Shaldieli should the Shaldieli transaction go through, remedies against Cooper’s position in IPC Cayman and other remedies.

A first pre-trial hearing in this case was held on June 5, 2011. The judge set 90 days for discovery and interrogatory proceedings and the next pre-trial is scheduled for October 9, 2011.

On June 21, 2011, Shaldieli announced a new call to a shareholders meeting on July 26, 2011 and also submitted a new Mitar (Prospectus). The company and its subsidiary filed on July 5, 2011 another application for temporary injunction. This was heard on July 25, 2011.

Actions taken in Cayman Islands

On March 8, 2011, the Company asked ITC as sole director of IPC Cayman to register transfers of 750 IPC shares held by the subsidiary to the Company and 750 shares to its other wholly owned subsidiary, 1843343 Ontario Inc.

On April 26, 2011, ITC declined to approve the transfers.

On April 28, 2011, the Company filed a summons against IPC Cayman and ITC for unreasonably withholding the consent and refusing to register the two share transfer requests and asking the court to pass an order for such transfers. The summons is scheduled to be heard by the courts in the Cayman Islands on August 18, 2011.The purpose of this action is to enable the Company to call for a shareholders meeting of IPC Cayman to discuss among other things, the management of IPC Cayman.

21. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

As at March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company had only one major business segment-

Energy sector: This segment includes the Company’s acquisition of interests in joint ventures and projects relating to exploration and commercial drilling of oil and gas and related products.

The Company had no business activity in the above segment in fiscal years 2009. During fiscal year 2010, the Company acquired through its subsidiary, an indirect 11% working interest in two off-shore drilling licenses in the Levantine Basin, approximately forty kilometres off the West coast of Israel. This interest current stands at 5.23%.

Geographic Information

The Company operates from one location in Canada and its subsidiary, IPC Cayman has an office in the US. (2009: one location in Canada). Its assets were located as follows

Location	2011	2010

Canada	$ 2,379,060	$ 3,615,914

US	-	217,497

Israel	6,972,740	6,586,376

	$ 9,351,800	$ 10,419,787

22. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CONCENTRATION OF RISKS

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 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. Cash, short term investments, accounts payable and accruals are classified as level one financial instruments.

The types of risk exposure and the way in which such exposures are managed are as follows:

(a)	Concentration risk:

Concentration risks exist in cash and cash equivalents because significant balances are maintained with one financial institution and a brokerage firm. The risk is mitigated because the financial institution is an international bank and the brokerage firm is a reputable Canadian brokerage firm. The Company’s key asset, the indirect working interest in two off shore drilling licenses is located in Israel, ownership of which is currently in dispute.

22. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CONCENTRATION OF RISKS - continued

(b) Market price risk:

Market risk primarily arises from the Company’s short term investments in marketable securities which accounted for approximately 20% of total assets of the Company as at March 31, 2011 (15% as at March 31, 2010). Further, the Company’s holding in one Canadian marketable security accounted for approximately 40% (2010: 57%) of the total short term investment in marketable securities or 8% (2010: 9%) of total assets as at March 31, 2011.

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

(c)	Liquidity risk:

The Company monitors its liquidity position regularly to assess whether it has the funds necessary to fulfill planned exploration commitments on its petroleum and natural gas properties or that viable options are available to fund such commitments from new equity issuances or alternative sources such as farm-out agreements. However, as an exploration company at an early stage of development and without significant internally generated cash flow, 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 ongoing litigations could have an impact on the Company’s future ability to access capital on terms that are acceptable to the Company. The Company has so far been able to raise the required financing to meet its obligations on time.

(d)	Currency risk

The operating results and financial position of the Company are reported in Canadian dollars. Approximately 6% of total monetary assets at March 31, 2010 (23% as at March 31, 2010), and approximately 65% of its liabilities as at that date ( 87% as at March 31, 2010) were held in US dollars. The results of the Company’s operations are therefore subject to currency transaction and translation risk.

Comparative foreign exchange rates are as follows:

As at March 31, 20102010

One US Dollar to CDN Dollar 0.9718 1.0156

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

Accounts payable and accrual	(433,636)
Net liabilities	$(285,131)

23. CAPITAL DISCLOSURES

The Company considers the items included in Shareholders’ Equity as capital. The Company had payables of approximately $ 0.7 million as at March 31, 2011 and current assets, mostly in cash and short term investments of approximately $2.3 million. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue new business opportunities and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk.

The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue new debt, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash and short term investments.

As at March 31, 2011, the shareholders’ equity was approximately $ 8.7 million (March 31, 2010: $7.2 million). Approximately 25% or $2.3 million was held in cash and short term investments (March 31, 2010: $3.7 million or 52%). The Company completed its 2009-10 private placement on April 30, 2010 and approximately additional $2.3 million was raised.

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements and does not presently utilize any quantitative measures to monitor its capital.

The Company expects its current capital resources will be sufficient to carry out its business plans and operations through its current operating period. However, the Company has initiated litigation to preserve its interest in the Israeli project, which may require further funds if these litigation efforts are not concluded satisfactorily within the next year.

24.	DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada ("Canadian GAAP"). Material variations in the accounting principles, practices and methods used in preparing these consolidated financial statements from principles, practices and methods used in the United States ("US GAAP") and in SEC Regulation S-X are described and quantified below.

There were no significant differences between Canadian GAAP and US GAAP which had any impact on the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of cash flows.

Recently adopted accounting standards

FASB Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2010-13 was issued in April 2010, and amends and clarifies ASC 718 with respect to the classification of an employee share based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the underlying security trades. This ASU was effective for the fourth quarter of 2011 and did not have a material effect on the Company.

Future Accounting pronouncements

In January 2010, ASU No. 2010-06 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurement" was issued, which provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that requires new disclosures as follows:

1.	Transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2. A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers.
2.	Activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number).

This Update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that clarify existing disclosures as follows:

1.	Level of disaggregation. A reporting entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. A class is often a subset of assets or liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position. A reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities.
2.	Disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. Those disclosures are required for fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3.

This Update also includes conforming amendments to the guidance on employers' disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets (Subtopic 715-20). The conforming amendments to Subtopic 715-20 change the terminology from major categories of assets to classes of assets and provide a cross reference to the guidance in Subtopic 820-10 on how to determine appropriate classes to present fair value disclosures. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.

24.	DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES - continued

Future accounting pronouncements - continued

In December 2010, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-28 "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test For Reporting Units With Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts" ("ASU 2010-28").Under ASU 2010-28, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit is zero or negative, an entity must assess whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists. To make that determination, an entity should consider whether there are adverse qualitative factors that could impact the amount of goodwill, including those listed in ASC 350-20-35-30. As a result of the new guidance, an entity can no longer assert that a reporting unit is not required to perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test because the carrying amount of the reporting unit is zero or negative, despite the existence of qualitative factors that indicate goodwill is more likely than not impaired. ASU 2010-28 is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010, with early adoption prohibited.

In December 2010, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-29 "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations" ("ASU 2010-29"). ASU 2010-29 specifies that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments in this Update also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures under Topic 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amended guidance is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted.

The company will transition to IFRS (see note 4) on April 1, 2011 and will no longer be required to prepare a reconciliation to US GAAP. Accordingly, the Company has not assessed the impact of adopting future US accounting pronouncements with an application date of April 1, 2011 or beyond in its financial statements and disclosures.

25.	DECONSOLIDATION OF IPC CAYMAN

IPC Cayman was incorporated on November 12, 2009 in Cayman Islands. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Israeli Oil & Gas Corporation own 76.79% equity while Three Crown Petroleum LLC (“ITC”) and another entity both controlled by Mr. Howard Cooper (“Cooper”) owns the remaining 23.21% equity in IPC Cayman.

The purpose of IPC Cayman was to enable Cooper to manage the Israeli assets as described in Note 8. Cooper was therefore made the sole director and manager of IPC Cayman and enjoyed wide powers under the shareholders agreement. The said agreement also provided limited circumstances under which he could be removed as sole director/manager.

The Company was able to consolidate IPC Cayman financials since its inception.

However, several new developments occurred during fiscal 2011:

On May 18, 2010, IPC Cayman established a limited partnership in Israel (‘IPC Israel’) and registered IPC Cayman’s interest in the two licenses in the name of IPC Israel. Further, Cooper made ITC the general manager of IPC Israel and IPC Cayman remained as a limited partner. This was done without the Company’s knowledge or consent.

b.	At the same time, Cooper transferred all assets and liabilities of IPC Cayman to IPC Israel without transferring any of the protections given to the Company in the shareholders’ agreement which governed IPC Cayman.

c.	Consequently, disputes arose between the Company and Cooper and various litigations were initiated as explained in Note 20.

d.	Cooper also refused to provide any financial information and made excessive financial demands on the Company.

As a result of the above, the Company was prevented from obtaining and currently do not have access to financial information of IPC Cayman and IPC Israel and since the Company has been prevented from obtaining the financial information necessary to report the financial results of IPC Cayman, the Company concluded that it has effectively lost control over IPC Cayman’s financial reporting process. Therefore, although the Company still owns 76.79% of IPC Cayman’s common stock, IPC Cayman’s financial results were deconsolidated with effect from May 18, 2010.
