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, the terms "Bontan Corporation Inc." the "Company,"Bontan", we, us, our are used interchangeably in this Annual Report and mean Bontan Corporation Inc. and its subsidiaries.

(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.

We  have  a  history  of  operating  losses  and  may  not  achieve  or  sustain profitability in the future.



We have incurred significant operating losses during recent fiscal years. We have not yet had any revenue from the exploration activities on our properties nor have we found that development activity is warranted on any of our properties.  As of March 31, 2005, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $27.1 million.



We expect to continue to incur losses until it is determined that properties in which we have an investment can be sufficiently developed for commercialization. Even if it is determined that such properties should be developed for commercialization, there is no certainty that the Company will produce revenue, operate profitably or provide a return on investment in the future.We cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve or sustain profitable operations in the future.



There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.



The audit report of our auditors covering the March 31, 2005 consolidated financial statements contains comments stating that conditions and events exist that cast substantial doubt on our ability to continue as a going concern.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of that uncertainty.



In the past, the Company has relied on borrowings from shareholders and sales of equity securities to meet most of its cash requirements. There can be no assurance that funding from these sources will be available or sufficient in the future to satisfy operational requirements and cash commitments.  Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.



We will need to raise additional funds in the future, which may not be available to us.



The Company is currently without a source of revenue and will most likely be required to issue additional securities to finance its operations and the development of its projects.  We may not be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms or at all. Failure to obtain additional financing on a timely basis could cause the Company to sell or forfeit its interest in its properties and reduce or terminate its operations on such properties or discontinue operations entirely.











There is a substantial risk of dilution through possible equity financings and stock options.

Any equity or debt financings, if available at all, may cause dilution to our then-existing shareholders. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the net tangible book value per share of our common shares would decrease and the percentage ownership of then current shareholders would be diluted.



3





Additionally, the Company may in the future grant to some or all of its own and its subsidiaries' directors, officers, insiders and key consultants options to purchase the Company's common shares as non-cash incentives to those people. Such options may be granted at exercise prices equal to market prices at time when the public market is depressed or below fair market value.  To the extent that significant numbers of such options may be granted and exercised, the interests of the then existing shareholders of the Company may be subject to additional dilution.



Our operations are subject to substantial exploration and development risks.



The Company is participating in resource properties in the hope of locating reserves.  The Company's property interests are in the exploration stage only.  Accordingly, there is little likelihood that the Company will realize any profits in the short to medium term.  Any profitability in the future from the Company's business will be dependent upon locating reserves, which itself is subject to numerous risk factors.



The business of exploring for and producing oil and gas involves a substantial risk of investment loss, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome.  The principal resources necessary for the exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas are leasehold prospects under which crude oil and natural gas reserves may be discovered, drilling rigs and related equipment to explore for such reserves and knowledgeable personnel to conduct all phases of crude oil and natural gas operations, all of which requires a substantial investment.



Drilling oil and gas wells involves the risk that the wells will be unproductive or that, although productive, the wells do not produce oil and/or gas in economic quantities.  Other hazards, such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, pressures, fires, blowouts, loss of circulation of drilling fluids or other conditions may substantially delay or prevent completion of any well. Adverse weather conditions can also hinder drilling operations.



A productive well may become uneconomic in the event water or other deleterious substances are encountered, which impair or prevent the production of oil and/or gas from the well.  In addition, production from any well may be unmarketable if it is impregnated with water or other deleterious substances.  As with any petroleum property, there can be no assurance that oil and gas will be produced from the properties in which the Company has interests.



In addition, the marketability of oil and gas, which may be acquired or discovered, will be affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company.  These factors include the proximity and capacity of oil and gas pipelines and processing equipment, market fluctuations of prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production and environmental protection.



The extent of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital. There is no assurance that our exploration and development activities in our current and future resource properties will ultimately yield oil or gas in commercial quantities.  Drilling for oil and gas may be unprofitable. Dry holes and wells that are productive but do not produce sufficient net revenues after drilling, operating and other costs are unprofitable.  We can not assure you that we will be able to achieve profitable operations in the future.

Our interests are subject to uninsurable risks.

Our industry also experiences numerous operating risks. These operating risks include the risk of fire, explosions, blow-outs, pipe failure, abnormally pressured formations and environmental hazards. Environmental hazards include oil spills, natural gas leaks, ruptures or



4





discharges of toxic gases. Such events could result in substantial damage to oil and gas wells, producing facilities and other property and personal injury.

Although management believes the operator of any properties in which the Company and its subsidiaries may acquire interests, will acquire and maintain appropriate insurance coverage in accordance with standard industry practice, the Company and its subsidiaries may suffer losses from uninsurable hazards or from hazards which the operator has chosen not to insure against because of high premium costs or other reasons.  If any of these industry-operating risks occur, the Company and its subsidiaries may face liability.  The payment of any such liabilities may have a material, adverse effect on the Company's financial position. We cannot assure you that insurance held by the operator of any of our properties will be adequate to cover losses or liabilities.



Environmental and other regulatory requirements may delay production and development of our resource interests.



The current or future operations of the Company, including development activities and commencement of production on its properties, require permits from various governmental authorities and such operations will be subject to laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, safety and other matters. Companies engaged in the development and operation of natural resource properties and related facilities generally experience increased costs, and delays in production and other schedules as a result of the need to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permits.  There can be no assurance that approvals and permits required to commence production on its properties will be obtained.  Additional permits and studies, which may include environmental impact studies conducted before permits can be obtained, may be necessary prior to operation of the properties in which the Company acquires interests and there can be no assurance that the operator of these interests or the Company will be able to obtain or maintain all necessary permits that may be required to commence construction, development or operation of oil and gas extraction facilities at these properties on terms which enable operations to be conducted at economically justifiable costs.



Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions against the operator of any of our resource properties or us, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions.



Conducting business in foreign countries subjects us to special risks which we have no control over.



Companys current business strategy involves participation in overseas projects in the resource sector.  Consequently, the Company will be subject to certain risks associated with foreign ownership, including currency fluctuations, inflation, political instability and political risk. Oil, gas and other resource exploration and production activities in foreign countries may be affected in varying degrees by political stability and government regulations relating to the resource industry. Any changes in regulations or shifts in political conditions are beyond the control of the Company and may adversely affect its business. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, restriction of earnings, taxation laws, expropriation of property, environmental legislation, water use and workplace safety.



We are dependent upon of our key managerial consultants, the loss of which would negatively affect our business.



5







Our performance depends on a small number of key managerial consultants. In particular, we believe our success is highly dependent upon the services of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Principal Officer, Mr. Kam Shah, as well as Mr. Terrance Robinson who has been significantly involved in locating and negotiating our resource investments. Loss of either of their services could negatively affect our business.



Our officers and directors reside outside of the United States and there is a risk that civil liabilities and judgments may be unenforceable.



The Company and its officers and all but one of its directors are residents of countries other than the United States, and most of the Company's assets are located outside the United States.  As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons or enforce in the United States against such persons judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal securities laws or state securities laws.





Our share price has been volatile in the past and may decline in the future.



In recent years, the securities markets in Canada and the United States have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market prices of securities of many companies, particularly small mineral exploration companies like the Company, have experienced wide fluctuations which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies.  Our shares may continue to experience significant market price and volume fluctuations in the future in response to factors, which are beyond our control.

Shares eligible for future sale may depress our stock price.

At March 31, 2005, we had 12,971,720 shares of common stock outstanding of which 4,841,769 are restricted securities under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.  We also have 8,879,571 and 4,4 million shares of commons stock issuable under presently exercisable warrants and options, respectively.  4,073,699 of our restricted shares and 7,266,012 shares of the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants have now been registered under the US Securities Act and will be eligible for resale in the public market.  The shares of the common stock issuable upon exercise of the stock options have been registered under the  US Securities Act.

Sales of shares of common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement or under Rule 144 or another exemption under the US Securities Act could have a material adverse effect on the price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities.





We do not intend to pay dividends.



All of the Company's available funds will be invested to finance the growth of the Company's business and therefore investors cannot expect and should not anticipate receiving a dividend on the Company's common shares in the foreseeable future.



Our common stock is subject to penny stock rules.





6





The capital stock of the Company would be classified as penny stock as defined in Reg. § 240.3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the 1934 Act).  In response to perceived abuse in the penny stock market generally, the 1934 Act was amended in 1990 to add new requirements in connection with penny stocks.  In connection with effecting any transaction in a penny stock, a broker or dealer must give the customer a written risk disclosure document that (a) describes the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading, (b) describes the brokers or dealers duties to the customer and the rights and remedies available to such customer with respect to violations of such duties, (c) describes the dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stock and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask prices, (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary histories of brokers and dealers, and (e) define significant terms used in the disclosure document or the conduct of trading in penny stocks.  In addition, the broker-dealer must provide to a penny stock customer a written monthly account statement that discloses the identity and number of shares of each penny stock held in the customers account, and the estimated market value of such shares.  The extensive disclosure and other broker-dealer compliance related to penny stocks may result in reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for such stocks, thus limiting the ability of the holder to sell such stock.



Your rights and  responsibilities  as a shareholder  will be governed by Canadian law and  differ  in some  respects  from  the  rights  and  responsibilities  of shareholders under U.S. law.



We are incorporated under Ontario Canada law. The rights and responsibilities of holders of our shares are governed by our memorandum of association, our articles of association and by Canadian law. These rights and responsibilities may differ in some respects from the rights and responsibilities of shareholders in typical U.S. corporations.



Changing regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure can cause additional expenses and failure to comply may adversely affect our reputation and the value of our securities.



Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, new SEC regulations and new and changing provisions of Canadian securities laws, are creating uncertainty because of the lack of specificity and varying interpretations of the rules. As a result, the application of the rules may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies, which could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We are committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and public disclosure. As a result, our efforts to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards have resulted in, and are likely to continue to result in, increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. Any failure to comply with applicable laws may materially adversely affect our reputation and the value of our securities.



If we fail to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, our reputation and the value of our securities may be adversely affected.



Beginning with our annual report for the year ending March 31, 2007, Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 will require us to include an internal control report of management with our annual report on Form 20-F, which is to include managements assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the fiscal year. That report will also be required to include a statement that our independent auditors have issued an attestation report on managements assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. In order to achieve compliance with Section 404 within the prescribed period, management is in the process of adopting a detailed project work plan to assess the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, validate through testing that controls are functioning as documented, remediate any control weaknesses that may be identified, and implement a continuous reporting and improvement process for internal control over financial reporting. Any failure to comply with Section 404, including issuing the required management report and obtaining the attestation report on managements assessment from our independent auditors, may materially adversely affect our reputation and the value of our securities.



ITEM 4  INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY



(A)  HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY



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

The Companys registered office is situated at 47 Avenue Road, Suite 200, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5R 2G3The Company is a reporting issuer in the provinces of Ontario. The Companys shares have been listed on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under the symbol BNTNF in the United States.



The Company went through several name changes and five major changes in its business activities. Details of these changes were provided in the Registration Statement F-20 dated June 12, 2000 and the annual reports FormF-20 for the subsequent fiscal years.



a.

The Company was incorporated under the name Kamlo Gold Mines Limited and remained an inactive shell from the date of incorporation to 1985.

b.

Between 1986 and 1982, the Company was involved in the development of a new technology for the marine propulsion business. During this period, the Company went through three name changes.

c.

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

d.

The Company remained an inactive shell since the closure of snack food business in November 1996 until December 1998 when it changed its name to Dealcheck.com Inc. and agreed on a new business strategy. This strategy focused on investing in new and emerging technology oriented projects and businesses.

e.

In 1999, the company successfully raised $3.2 million, which were invested in various projects and companies over the next two years as per the new business strategy of the company. Unfortunately, IT sector performed poorly since 2001 and new and emerging technology-based businesses suffered significant losses, financial problems and bankruptcies. These factors adversely affected the companys investments and its profitability. The company had to write off all its investments by the end of the fiscal 2003.



1.

In April 2003, the Company changed its business focus to resource industry based on the recommendations of its shareholders in the last shareholders meeting. At that time, the Company commenced and successfully completed a private placement of approximately 8.9 million common shares, raising approximately US$3.1 million. These funds were primarily invested in projects involving oil and gas exploration and diamond mining as explained under Item 5 of this report.







The Company relies principally on equity financing to fund its projects and expenditures.





(B)  BUSINESS OVERVIEW





The Company continued to focus on the resource sector as per the business plan agreed during the fiscal year 2004.

In the fiscal 2004, the Company advanced approximately US$1.9 million to a non-affiliated corporation for acquiring an indirect participation interest (IPI) in an oil exploration project in Papua New Guinea (Oil Project). On July 9, 2004, these advances were converted into 15,262 common shares of Interoil Corporation and .75% IPI in the Oil Project as per the terms of the IPI agreement. The shares were sold for approximately US$500,000 during the fiscal 2005 and Ipi was sold for US$3.2 million in July 2005.



In September 2004, the company acquired a subsidiary in Brazil and began investing in diamond mining joint venture projects. However, owing to unfavourable political and regulatory situation, which was causing significant increasing in the time and costs estimates on the projects, the company decided to abandon these projects and close the Brazilian operations in December 2005. The total cost of approximately $180,000 relating to the Brazilian subsidiary and joint venture participation was expensed.



In October 2004, the Company entered into an exploration agreement with a private investor group in the United States under which it acquired 49% gross working interest in a gas exploration project in the State of Louisiana. Total costs of the project are estimated at US$7 million. The company paid approximately US$180,000 as its share of the exploration cost by March 31, 2005 and a further sum of US$3.6 million towards its share of the exploration costs between April 2005 and August 15, 2005. The company has now fully pre-paid its share of the exploration costs.



The following are the key features of the gas project:



1.

The Company has a 49% gross working interest in the initial test well under the gas exploration project in eastern Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. There are further two wells identified provided the first one finds a proven gas reserve. The Companys share in the subsequent wells will be 41%.



2.

In addition to the Company, two long time Pittsburgh, Pa. operators hold an interest, as well as smaller interests held by Wadi Petroleum of Houston and companies controlled by several former senior major oil company executives.



3.

Keystone Oil Company based in Dallas, Texas, is the operator for the exploration program





4.

Brammer Engineering of Shreveport, La. Is the project engineer.  Brammer is a widely known operations management company and operates for a broad range of major and independent companies in Louisiana as well as offshore





5.

A turnkey drilling contract has been signed with Grey Wolf, Inc for the initial well. Grey Wolf, Inc. is a leading provider of contract oil and gas land drilling services in the United States serving both major and independent oil and gas companies with a premium fleet of 127 rigs. Approximately 95% of the wells drilled by Grey Wolf are targeted to natural gas.



6.

The initial well is identified as Placid Richard et.al. The zones to be tested by the initial well have possible reserves of up to 50 billion cubic feet equivalent of gas (BCFE)



7.

Drilling began on its initial test well, Placide Richard No. 1 on August 21, 2005 and has reached a depth of 4,745 as at August 30, 2005.



(C) ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE





As at March 31, 2005, the Company had the following whollyowned subsidiaries:

The Company issued stocks and options to various consultants under the two plans registered under the US Securities Act, which were valued at approx. $6.5 million. $4.8 million was expensed and $1.7 was deferred.



During the fiscal year 2004, the Company adopted a new business plan focusing on resource sector. Its key activities were the private placement campaign and advances of approx. US$ 2.1 million to a non related private corporation for investment into an oil exploration project in Papua New Guinea.



During fiscal 2003, the Company was inactive due to discontinuation and write off of all its interests in projects involving new and emerging technologies under its previous business plan.



Income



During the fiscal 2005, no income was generated from the operating segments, which were energy and minerals. The Company made a net capital gain of approx. $417,000 from disposal of 15,262 shares of Interoil Corporation that it received by converting part of its advances for a oil exploration project in Papua new Guinea made in fiscal 2004 and certain other shares of non related corporations that it bought as part of its temporary investments of surplus funds. The Company also earned interest of approx. $1,600 on its surplus funds at the brokerage firm.



During the fiscal 2004, no income was generated from the operating segment, which was energy. The revenue of approx. $47,000 resulted from year-end exchange gains. The Company had significant transactions in US Dollars. It raised about $2.6 million in US Dollars through private placement and invested about $1.9 million dollars in oil exploration project. These transactions constituted over 90% of the transactions during the fiscal year and were converted into Canadian dollar at rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions as per the Companys accounting policy. The exchange rates between Canadian Dollar and US Dollar fluctuated significantly during the year from CDN$1.47 = US$1 at March 31, 2003 to CDN$1.31=US$1 at March 31, 2004  almost 11% decline in US dollar value verses Canadian dollar.



There were no operating segments in the fiscal 2003. The revenue mainly came form the year-end exchange gain of approx. $13,000 from conversion of US dollar transactions and balances into Canadian dollars.

Travel, meals and entertainment



Expenses in fiscal 2005 related to the visits to the USA and Brazil in connection with the Companys projects and prospective new business opportunities.



Most of these expenses during the fiscal 2004 were incurred by the CEO of the Company, Mr. Terence Robinson in meeting with the prospective investors in connection with private placement campaign and also in pursuing leads provided by various consultants in business prospects, which conform to the new business strategy of the Company.



There were no new initiatives during fiscal 2003. This explains the significantly lower travel and entertainment.





Consulting costs



Consulting fee relate to cash fees  of $28,000  paid to Mr. Terence Robinson, the ex-CEO of the company who serves as consultant , $13,000 (US$10,000) paid to Snapper Inc. under a consulting contract which was terminated on May 31, 2004 and the balance of the fees were paid to administrative assistant and other temporary consultants.  The Company preferred to settle the fees of their consultants in shares and options in order to retain its funds for business investments purposes. This is the reason for significant decline in the cash fee compared to the fees paid in fiscal 2004.



Most of the consulting fees paid in fiscal 2004 were attributable to two consultants  approx. $268,000 was paid to Snapper Inc., a shareholder corporation towards consulting fee and finders fee and approx. $112,000 to chief executive officer under a consulting agreement, which provided for a fee of $10,000 per month.



Consulting fee for the fiscal 2003 included a fee of approx. $93,000 paid to Snapper Inc.



Promotion costs



Promotional costs for fiscal 2005 include general business entertainment costs of approx. $ 22,000 by Mr. Terence Robinson payable per consulting contract and special promotional efforts made through Googles adwords and overtures of approx. $26,000.



There was no major promotional activity during fiscal years 2004 and 2003.





Professional fees



Professional fees in fiscal 2005 were $116,479, in fiscal 2004 were $110,547 and in fiscal 2003 were $45,339.



Fiscal 2005 professional fee include fee of $ 36,000 charged by Kam Shah, CEO for accounting services, $22,478 for the audit services and balance was mostly legal fees. Higher legal fees were due to legal work involved in reviewing various project related documents and registration of stock compensation and stock option plans and issuing opinions under rule 144 with respect to the removal of restrictive legends on the restricted shares issued under the private placement.



Major item in fiscal 2004 consisted of fees of $93,135 for accounting services. Of this, $27,610 was paid to a shareholder corporation, Current Capital Corp. for providing financial and accounting services under an Expense Sharing Agreement dated April 1, 2003 for one year. The agreement was not renewed on expiry. The balance of $65,525 was paid to an executive by issuance of shares under the 2001 Consultants Stock Compensation Plan The common shares were valued at their fair market value of US$0.50 per share.



Fees for fiscal 2003 were relatively smaller due to lack of any new business initiatives and consisted mainly of audit and accounting fees.



Shareholders information



Shareholder information costs comprise investor and media relations fee, costs of holding annual general meeting of the shareholders and various regulatory filing fees. Total cost for fiscal 2005 was $127,205, for fiscal 2004 was $165,431 and for fiscal 2003 was $63,657..



Major item was media relations fee of $117,053 charged by a shareholder corporation, Current Capital Corp charged under a Investor relations contract dated April 1, 2003 and Media relation contract dated April 1, 2003. Both the contracts provide for a monthly fee of US$5,000 each.



Fiscal 2004 costs mainly include fees of $160,628 charged by Current Capital Corp. under the contracts mentioned above. The fee amount was relatively less in fiscal 2005 due mainly to favourable CDN/US exchange rate.



Fee for fiscal 2003 mainly includes fee of $60,000 for an investor relation services provided by Current Capital Corp. at the fee of $10,000 per month. The fee was only for the first six months period since the said contract was canceled effective October 1, 2002.









Other operating costs



These costs include rent, telephone, Internet, transfer agents fees and other general and administration costs. Other operating costs in fiscal 2005 were $34,350, in fiscal 2004 were $25,916 and in fiscal 2003 were $31,237.

The company received a Notice of Termination dated February 6, 2003 from the landlord, wherein the landlord claimed rent arrears of $28,924 and current plus next three months rent and damage for the loss of rent for the remaining term of the lease. The management is of the opinion that they have a strong case against the landlord for not paying such rent and penalty besides no further communication was received since then from the landlord. The management therefore reversed the provision of approx. $37,000 in fiscal 2005.



Stock based compensation

|Unearned stock compensation | $1,732,929 | $-       | $-  





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 Company has registered two Plans under the US Securities Act.  These Plans cover approx. 2.2 million common shares and 5.5 million options.



During fiscal 2005, approx. 929,000 shares were issued under the Consultants compensation plan to eleven consultants for services provided in fiscal 2005 and to be provided during the fiscal 2006. These shares were valued at the fair value, based on the market value on the date of issue, of approx. $1.2 million. Approx.. 347,000 shares valuing at approx. $590,000 related to the services to be provided in the fiscal 2006 and have therefore been carried as deferred compensation while the remaining value was expensed in fiscal 2005.



During the fiscal 2005, the Company also allotted all the 5.5 registered Options to eleven individuals, which were valued at approx. $5.3 million using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Approx. $4.1 was expensed and the balance 1.1 million was deferred. Further details on the Options are available in note 9 to the financial statements for fiscal 2005.



This is the first year when the Company granted options to various consultants and also the first year when the options granted were valued using Black Scholes  option price model and  recorded as expense according to the new accounting policy. This factor accounts for the significant increase in costs during the fiscal year 2005.



The following table summarizes the stock and option granted by each consultant and nature of the services provided by the consultants:





| | Name of the consultant | Number of shares/options given in fiscal 2005

Total value assigned in the financials ( in CDN$) | Experience of the consultant | Services performed by the consultant

No shares or options were issued in the fiscal 2003.





Loss from discontinued operations



The Company incurred losses of $179,678 from a discontinued operation during the fiscal 2005. No such loss was incurred in fiscals 2004 and 2003.



The losses related to the diamond mining activities, which the Company commenced in June 2004 but were discontinued in December 2004.



Losses were made up of expenses of approx. $121,000 relating to operations of the Brazilian office and approx. $55,000 relating to the costs of investments in two joint ventures, which was originally deferred but was written off on the closure of the operations.



On June 14, 2004, The Companys subsidiary, Bontan Diamond Corporation, acquired 100% equity in a Brazilian Corporation, Astrogemas Mineração Ltda (AML). AML set up a representative office in Brazil whose primary purpose was to identify opportunities for alluvial diamond mining in joint venture with landowners/licence owners and others. The

Cost of the office was financed by the Company until November 2004, when the key consultants, Mr. Fracis Guardia, the chief geologist on the project and Fernando, the brazilian geologist and the director of the Brazilian office, resigned and closed down the office in December 2004. The Company also concluded by then that it was not cost effective to continue to support Brazilian operations which were affected adversely by the local conditions involving significant delays in permits an licenses and costs projections which turned out to be far higher than the ones originally provided to  the Company .



Operational costs mainly comprised fees of $ 57,000 paid to various consultants and meals and travels of $33,000.



The details of the project costs of $55,000, which were fully written off can be found in note 7 to the financial statements for the fiscal 2005.



(B)       Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has financed its operations principally through the sale of its equity securities. The Company does not have any producing resource properties, its only revenue source  in fiscal 2005 comprised  interest income earned from amounts on deposit and gain on sale of shares of Interoil acquired under an IPI agreement as explained earlier. The amount of interest income earned is expected to decrease as the Company continues exploring its existing gas properties. The Company will continue to obtain additional funding through the sale of its equity securities unless its gas project finds proven reserves and starts generating revenue in the near future.

Working Capital



As at March 31, 2005, the Company had a net working capital of  $4.8 million compared to a working capital deficit of $311,005 as at March 31, 2004.



Significant improvement in the working capital at the end of fiscal 2005 was mainly due to reclassification of Interest in oil properties of $2.1 million from long term to current asset. The reclassification reflected the Companys decision to sell this asset rather than hold it till commercial exploitation. The asset was subsequently sold for US$3.2 million



Cash on hand as at March 31, 2005 was $860,330. The improved cash position was mainly due to sale of common shares of Interoil Corporation received in exchange of the part of the Companys IPI in oil properties as explained elsewhere in this report. The sale generated cash inflow of around $625,000.



Operating cash flow



During the fiscal 2005, net cash outflow of $437,528 from the operations was off set by the net cash inflow of $738,253 from the financing activities and $59,064 from the investing activities, thus resulting in a net cash increase of $359,789 which was added to the cash of $500,541 at the beginning of the year, resulting in a cash on hand of $860,330 at the end of the year.



Cash flow from financing activities related to cash received from private placement and exercise of options as further explained below under financing activities. Cash flow from investing activities included the new investments of $216,568 towards our 49% working interest in gas properties in the State of Louisiana and liquidation of advances of $2.5 million and investment of $2.1 million in acquiring .75% interest in oil project and net investment of approx. $93,000.

General



The primary function of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors of the Company (the Board) in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by reviewing the financial information to be provided to the shareholders and others, the systems of internal controls and management information systems established by management and the Companys external audit process and monitoring compliance with the Companys legal and regulatory requirements with respect to its financial statements.



The Audit Committee is accountable to the Board. In the course of fulfilling its specific responsibilities hereunder, the Audit Committee is expected to maintain an open communication between the Companys external auditors and the Board.



The responsibilities of a member of the Audit Committee are in addition to such members duties as a member of the Board.



The Audit Committee does not plan or perform audits or warrant the accuracy or completeness of the Companys financial statements or financial disclosure or compliance with generally accepted accounting procedures, as these are the responsibility of management and the external auditors.



Effective Date

This Charter was implemented by the Board on August 2, 2005.



Composition of Audit Committee

The Committee membership shall satisfy the laws and policies governing the Company and the independence, financial literacy and experience requirements under securities law, stock exchange and any other regulatory requirements as are applicable to the Company.



Relationship with External Auditors

The external auditor is required to report directly to the Audit Committee. Opportunities shall be afforded periodically to the external auditor and to members of senior management to meet separately with the Audit Committee.



Responsibilities

1. The Audit Committee shall be responsible for making the following recommendations to the Board:



(a)

the external auditor to be nominated for the purpose of preparing or issuing an auditors report or performing other audit, review or attest services for the Company; and



(b)

the compensation of the external auditor.



2. The Audit Committee shall be directly responsible for overseeing the work of the external auditor, including the resolution of disagreements between management and the external auditor regarding financial reporting. This responsibility shall include:



(a)

reviewing with management and the external auditor any proposed changes in major accounting policies, the presentation and impact of significant risks and uncertainties, and key estimates and judgments of management that may be material to financial reporting;



(b)

questioning management and the external auditor regarding significant financial reporting issues discussed during the fiscal period and the method of resolution;



(c)

reviewing audited annual financial statements, in conjunction with the report of the external auditor;



(d) reviewing any problems experienced by the external auditor in performing the audit, including any restrictions imposed by management or significant accounting issues on which there was a disagreement with management; and



(d)

reviewing the evaluation of internal controls by the external auditor, together with managements response.



3.

The Audit Committee shall review interim unaudited financial statements before release to the public.



4.

The Audit Committee shall review all public disclosures of audited or unaudited financial information before release, including any prospectus, annual report, annual information form, and managements discussion and analysis.



5.

The Audit Committee shall review the appointments of the chief financial officer and any other key financial executives involved in the financial reporting process, as applicable.



6.

Except as exempted by securities regulatory policies, the Audit Committee shall pre-approve all non-audit services to be provided to the Company or its subsidiary entities by the external auditor.



7.

The Audit Committee shall ensure that adequate procedures are in place for the review of the Companys public disclosure of financial information extracted or derived from the Companys financial statements,  and shall periodically assess the adequacy of those procedures.

(a)

the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters; and



(b) the confidential, anonymous submission by employees of the Company of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters.

Authority



The Audit Committee shall have the authority to:



(a)

to engage independent counsel and other advisors as it determines necessary to carry out its duties;



(b)

to set and pay the compensation for any advisors employed by the Audit Committee; and



(c)

to communicate directly with the external auditors.



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 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 Damian Lee





(D)  EMPLOYEES



The Company presently has no permanent employees. It uses the services of consultants from time to time.



(E)  SHARE OWNERSHIP



The Corporation had the following plans as at March 31, 2005:



1.

1999 Stock Option Plan covering 3 million options registered under the Securities Act of 1933 , United States of America ( the Act) on April 30, 2003.

2.

2001 Consultant Stock Compensation Plan covering 1,205,714 shares registered under the Act on April 30, 2003.

3.

2003 Stock Option Plan covering 2.5 million options registered under the Act on July 22, 2004

4.

2003 Stock Compensation Plan covering 1 million shares registered under the Act on July 22, 2004.



As of August 15, 2005, all options under the 1999 and 2003 plans have been granted and of which, there are 4,175,000 options outstanding to purchase equal number of common shares of the Corporation.



As of August 15, 2005, 1,973,667 shares were issued under the 2001 and 2003 consultant stock compensation plan.



The directors now propose to create two additional plans to be named  (a) 2005 Consultant Stock Compensation Plan covering 1 million common shares of the Corporation and (b) 2005 Stock Option Plan covering 2.1 million options of which 1.1 million options exercisable at US$0.60 will be set aside for Mr. Terence Robinson for bringing in the prospective buyer of the Companys interest in oil exploration project in Papua New Guinea and other related services provided in connection with Gas exploration project in Louisiana.

The objective of these Plans is to provide for and encourage ownership of common shares of the Company by its directors, officers, consultants and employees and those of any subsidiary companies so that such persons may increase their stake in the 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 the Companys operations to the mutual benefit of both the Company and such individuals and also allow the Company to avail of the services of experienced persons with minimum cash outlay.

The following table sets forth the share ownership of those persons listed in subsection 6.B above and includes details of all options or warrants to purchase of the Company held by such persons at March 31, 2005:

EXCHANGE CONTROLS

There are no governmental laws, decrees or regulations in Canada relating to restrictions on the export or import of capital, or affecting the remittance of interest, dividends or other payments to non-resident holders of the Companys common shares.  Any remittances of dividends to United States residents are, however, subject to a 15% withholding tax (5% if the shareholder is a corporation owning at least 10% of the outstanding common shares of the Company) pursuant to Article X of the reciprocal tax treaty between Canada and the United States.  See Item 10  Additional Information  E.  Taxation below.



Except as provided in the Investment Canada Act (the Act), which has provisions which govern the acquisition of a control block of voting shares by non-Canadians of a corporation carrying on a Canadian business, there are no limitations specific to the rights of non-Canadians to hold or vote the common shares of the Company under the laws of Canada or the Province of Ontario or in the charter documents of the Company.



Management of the Company considers that the following general summary fairly describes those provisions of the Act pertinent to an investment in the Company by a person who is not a Canadian resident (a non-Canadian).



The Act requires a non-Canadian making an investment which would result in the acquisition of control of the Canadian business to notify the Investment Review Division of Industry Canada, the federal agency created by the Act; or in the case of an acquisition of a Canadian business, the gross value of the assets of which exceeds certain threshold levels or the business activity of which is related to Canadas cultural heritage of national identity, to file an application for review with the Investment Review Division.



The notification procedure involves a brief statement of information about the investment on a prescribed form, which is required to be filed with Investment Canada by the investor at any time up to 30 days following implementation of the investment.  Once the completed notice has been filed, a receipt bearing the certificate date will be issued to the non-Canadian investor.  The receipt must advise the investor either that the investment proposal is unconditionally non-reviewable or that the proposal will not be reviewed as long as notice of review is not issued within 21 days of the date certified under the receipt.  It is intended that investments requiring only notification will proceed without government intervention unless the investment is in a specific type of business activity related to Canadas cultural heritage and national identity.



If an investment is reviewable under the Act, an order for review must be issued within 21 days after the certified date on which notice of investment was received.  An application for review in the form prescribed is required to be filed with Investment Canada prior to the investment taking place.  Once the application has been filed, a receipt will be issued to the applicant, certifying the date on which the application was received.  For incomplete applications, a deficiency notice will be sent to the applicant, and if not done within 15 days of receipt of application, the application will be deemed to be complete as of the date it was received.  Within 45 days after the complete application has been received, the Minister responsible for the Investment Canada Act must notify the potential investor that the Minister is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada.  If within such 45-day period the Minister is unable to complete the review, the Minister has an additional 30 days to complete the review, unless the applicant agrees to a longer period.  Within such additional period, the Minister must advise either that he is satisfied or not satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada.  If the time limits have elapsed, the Minister will be deemed to be satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada.  The investment may not be implemented until the review has been completed and the Minister is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada.



If the Minister is not satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada, the non-Canadian must not implement the investment or, if the investment has been implemented, could be penalized by being required to divest himself of control of the business that is the subject of the investment.  To date, the only types of business activities which have been prescribed by regulation as related to Canadas cultural heritage or national identity deal largely with publication, film and music industries.  Because the Companys total assets are less than the $5 million notification threshold, and because the Companys business activities would likely not be deemed related to Canadas cultural heritage or national identity, acquisition of a controlling interest in the Company by a non-Canadian investor would not be subject to even the notification requirements under the Investment Canada Act.



The following investments by non-Canadians are subject to notification under the Act:



1. An investment to establish a new Canadian business; and



2. An investment to acquire control of a Canadian business that is not reviewable pursuant to the Act.



The following investments by a non-Canadian are subject to review under the Act:



1. Direct acquisition of control of Canadian businesses with assets of $5 million or more, unless the acquisition is being made by a World Trade Organization (WTO) member country investor (the United States being a member of the WTO);



2. Direct acquisition of control of Canadian businesses with assets of $237,000,000 or more by a WTO investor;



3. Indirect acquisition of control of Canadian business with assets of $5 million or more if such assets represent more than 50% of the total value of the assets of the entities, the control of which is being acquired, unless the acquisition is being made by a WTO investor, in which case there is no review;



4. indirect acquisition of control of Canadian businesses with assets of $50 million or more even if such assets represent less than 50% of the total value of the assets of the entities, the control of which is being acquired, unless the acquisition is being made by a WTO investor, in which case there is no review; and



5. An investment subject to notification that would not otherwise be reviewable if the Canadian business engages in the activity of publication, distribution or sale of books, magazines, periodicals, newspapers, film or video recordings, audio or video music recordings, or music in print or machine-readable form.



Generally speaking, an acquisition is direct if it involves the acquisition of control of the Canadian business or of its Canadian parent or grandparent and an acquisition is indirect if it involves the acquisition of control of a non-Canadian parent or grandparent of an entity carrying on the Canadian business.  Control may be acquired through the acquisition of actual voting control by the acquisition of voting shares of a Canadian corporation or through the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of the Canadian business.  No change of voting control will be deemed to have occurred if less than one-third of the voting control of a Canadian corporation is acquired by an investor.



A WTO investor, as defined in the Act, includes an individual who is a national of a member country of the World Trade Organization or who has the right of permanent residence in relation to that WTO member, a government or government agency of a WTO investor-controlled corporation, limited partnership, trust or joint venture and a corporation, limited partnership, trust or joint venture that is neither WTO-investor controlled or Canadian controlled of which two-thirds of its board of directors, general partners or trustees, as the case may be, or any combination of Canadians and WTO investors.



The higher thresholds for WTO investors do not apply if the Canadian business engages in activities in certain sectors such as uranium, financial services, transportation services or communications.



The Act specifically exempts certain transactions from either notification or review.  Included among this category of transactions is the acquisition of voting shares or other voting interests by any person in the ordinary course of that persons business as a trader or dealer in securities.

(E)  TAXATION

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a summary of the anticipated material U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder (as defined below) arising from and relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of common shares of the Company (Common Shares).



This summary is for general information purposes only and does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential U.S. federal income tax consequences that may apply to a U.S. Holder as a result of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.  In addition, this summary does not take into account the individual facts and circumstances of any particular U.S. Holder that may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.  Accordingly, this summary is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal or U.S. federal income tax advice with respect to any U.S. Holder.  Each U.S. Holder should consult its own financial advisor, legal counsel, or accountant regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. state and local, and foreign tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.



Scope of this Disclosure



Authorities



This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), Treasury Regulations (whether final, temporary, or proposed), published rulings of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), published administrative positions of the IRS, the Convention Between Canada and the United States of America with Respect to Taxes on Income and on Capital, signed September 26, 1980, as amended (the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention), and U.S. court decisions that are applicable and, in each case, as in effect and available, as of the date of this Annual Report.  Any of the authorities on which this summary is based could be changed in a material and adverse manner at any time, and any such change could be applied on a retroactive basis.  This summary does not discuss the potential effects, whether adverse or beneficial, of any proposed legislation that, if enacted, could be applied on a retroactive basis.









U.S. Holders



For purposes of this summary, a U.S. Holder is a beneficial owner of Common Shares that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is (a) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the U.S., (b) a corporation, or any other entity classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, that is created or organized in or under the laws of the U.S. or any state in the U.S., including the District of Columbia, (c) an estate if the income of such estate is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of the source of such income, or (d) a trust if (i) such trust has validly elected to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (ii) a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such trust.



Non-U.S. Holders



For purposes of this summary, a non-U.S. Holder is a beneficial owner of Common Shares other than a U.S. Holder.  This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares to non-U.S. Holders.  Accordingly, a non-U.S. Holder should consult its own financial advisor, legal counsel, or accountant regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. state and local, and foreign tax consequences (including the potential application of and operation of any tax treaties) of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.



U.S. Holders Subject to Special U.S. Federal Income Tax Rules Not Addressed



This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares to U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including the following U.S. Holders:  (a) U.S. Holders that are tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, or other tax-deferred accounts; (b) U.S. Holders that are financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, or regulated investment companies; (c) U.S. Holders that are broker-dealers, dealers, or traders in securities or currencies that elect to apply a mark-to-market accounting method; (d) U.S. Holders that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar; (e) U.S. Holders that are liable for the alternative minimum tax under the Code; (f) U.S. Holders that own Common Shares as part of a straddle, hedging transaction, conversion transaction, constructive sale, or other arrangement involving more than one position; (g) U.S. Holders that acquired Common Shares in connection with the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services; (h) U.S. Holders that hold Common Shares other than as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code; or (i) U.S. Holders that own, directly or indirectly, 10% or more, by voting power or value, of the outstanding shares of the Company.  U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including U.S. Holders described immediately above, should consult their own financial advisor, legal counsel or accountant regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. state and local, and foreign tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.



If an entity that is classified as partnership (or pass-through entity) for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Common Shares, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such partnership (or pass-through entity) and the partners of such partnership (or owners of such pass-through entity) generally will depend on the activities of the partnership (or pass-through entity) and the status of such partners (or owners).  Partners of entities that are classified as partnerships (or owners of pass-through entities) for U.S. federal income tax purposes should consult their own financial advisor, legal counsel or accountant regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.



Tax Consequences Other than U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences Not Addressed



This summary does not address the U.S. state and local, U.S. federal estate and gift, or foreign tax consequences to U.S. Holders of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.  Each U.S. Holder should consult its own financial advisor, legal counsel, or accountant regarding the U.S. state and local, U.S. federal estate and gift, and foreign tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.  (See TaxationCanadian Federal Income Tax Consequences below).



U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Acquisition, Ownership, and Disposition of Common Shares

Distributions on Common Shares



General Taxation of Distributions



A U.S. Holder that receives a distribution, including a constructive distribution, with respect to the Common Shares will be required to include the amount of such distribution in gross income as a dividend (without reduction for any Canadian income tax withheld from such distribution) to the extent of the current or accumulated earningsand profits of the Company.  To the extent that a distribution exceeds the current and accumulated earnings and profits of the Company, such distribution will be treated (a) first, as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of a U.S. Holders tax basis in the Common Shares and, (b) thereafter, as gain from the sale or exchange of such Common Shares.  (See more detailed discussion at Disposition of Common Shares below).



Reduced Tax Rates for Certain Dividends



For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2002 and before January 1, 2009, a dividend paid by the Company generally will be taxed at the preferential tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains if (a) the Company is a qualified foreign corporation (as defined below), (b) the U.S. Holder receiving such dividend is an individual, estate, or trust, and (c) such dividend is paid on Common Shares that have been held by such U.S. Holder for at least 61 days during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date (i.e., the first date that a purchaser of such Common Shares will not be entitled to receive such dividend).



The Company generally will be a qualified foreign corporation under Section 1(h)(11) of the Code (a QFC) if (a) the Company is incorporated in a possession of the U.S., (b) the Company is eligible for the benefits of the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention, or (c) the Common Shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the U.S.  However, even if the Company satisfies one or more of such requirements, the Company will not be treated as a QFC if the Company is a passive foreign investment company (as defined below) for the taxable year during which the Company pays a dividend or for the preceding taxable year.  In 2003, the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the Treasury) and the IRS announced that they intended to issue Treasury Regulations providing procedures for a foreign corporation to certify that it is a QFC.  Although these Treasury Regulations were not issued in 2004, the Treasury and the IRS have confirmed their intention to issue these Treasury Regulations.  It is expected that these Treasury Regulations will obligate persons required to file information returns to report a distribution with respect to a foreign security issued by a foreign corporation as a dividend from a QFC if the foreign corporation has, among other things, certified under penalties of perjury that the foreign corporation was not a passive foreign investment company for the taxable year during which the foreign corporation paid the dividend or for the preceding taxable year.





As discussed below, the Company does not believe that it was a passive foreign investment company for the taxable year ended March 31, 2005, and does not expect that it will be a passive foreign investment company for the taxable year ending December 31, 2005.  (See more detailed discussion at Additional Rules that May Apply to U.S. Holders below).  However, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the determination made by the Company concerning its passive foreign investment company status or that the Company will not be a passive foreign investment company for the current or any future taxable year.  Accordingly, although the Company expects that it may be a QFC, there can be no assurances that the IRS will not challenge the determination made by the Company concerning its QFC status, that the Company will be a QFC for the current or any future taxable year, or that the Company will be able to certify that it is a QFC in accordance with the certification procedures issued by the Treasury and the IRS.



If the Company is not a QFC, a dividend paid by the Company to a U.S. Holder, including a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate, or trust, generally will be taxed at ordinary income tax rates (and not at the preferential tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains).  The dividend rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own financial advisor, legal counsel, or accountant regarding the dividend rules.



Distributions Paid in Foreign Currency



The amount of a distribution paid to a U.S. Holder in foreign currency generally will be equal to the U.S. dollar value of such distribution based on the exchange rate applicable on the date of receipt.  A U.S. Holder that does not convert foreign currency received as a distribution into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt generally will have a tax basis in such foreign currency equal to the U.S. dollar value of such foreign currency on the date of receipt.  Such a U.S. Holder generally will recognize ordinary income or loss on the subsequent sale or other taxable disposition of such foreign currency (including an exchange for U.S. dollars).



Dividends Received Deduction



Dividends paid on the Common Shares generally will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction.  The availability of the dividends received deduction is subject to complex limitations that are beyond the scope of this discussion, and a U.S. Holder that is a corporation should consult its own financial advisor, legal counsel, or accountant regarding the dividends received deduction.



Disposition of Common Shares



A U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss on the sale or other taxable disposition of Common Shares in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (a) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received and (b) such U.S. Holders tax basis in the Common Shares sold or otherwise disposed of.  Any such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss, which will be long-term capital gain or loss if the Common Shares are held for more than one year.  Gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder on the sale or other taxable disposition of Common Shares generally will be treated as U.S. source for purposes of applying the U.S. foreign tax credit rules.   (See more detailed discussion at Foreign Tax Credit below).



Preferential tax rates apply to long-term capital gains of a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate, or trust.  There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains of a U.S. Holder that is a corporation.  Deductions for capital losses and net capital losses are subject to complex limitations.  For a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate, or trust, capital losses may be used to offset capital gains and up to U.S.$3,000 of ordinary income.  An unused capital loss of a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate, or trust generally may be carried forward to subsequent taxable years, until such net capital loss is exhausted.  For a U.S. Holder that is a corporation, capital losses may be used to offset capital gains, and an unused capital loss generally may be carried back three years and carried forward five years from the year in which such net capital loss is recognized.





Foreign Tax Credit



A U.S. Holder who pays (whether directly or through withholding) Canadian income tax with respect to dividends paid on the Common Shares generally will be entitled, at the election of such U.S. Holder, to receive either a deduction or a credit for such Canadian income tax paid.  Generally, a credit will reduce a U.S. Holders U.S. federal income tax liability on a dollar-for-dollar basis, whereas a deduction will reduce a U.S. Holders income subject to U.S. federal income tax.  This election is made on a year-by-year basis and applies to all foreign taxes paid (whether directly or through withholding) by a U.S. Holder during a year.



Complex limitations apply to the foreign tax credit, including the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of a U.S. Holders U.S. federal income tax liability that such U.S. Holders foreign source taxable income bears to such U.S. Holders worldwide taxable income.  In applying this limitation, a U.S. Holders various items of income and deduction must be classified, under complex rules, as either foreign source or U.S. source.  In addition, this limitation is calculated separately with respect to specific categories of income (including passive income, high withholding tax interest, financial services income, general income, and certain other categories of income).  Dividends paid by the Company generally will constitute foreign source income and generally will be categorized as passive income or, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, financial services income.  However, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2006, the foreign tax credit limitation categories are reduced to passive income and general income (and the other categories of income, including financial services income, are eliminated).  The foreign tax credit rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own financial advisor, legal counsel, or accountant regarding the foreign tax credit rules.



Information Reporting; Backup Withholding Tax



Payments made within the U.S., or by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman, of dividends on, and proceeds arising from certain sales or other taxable dispositions of, Common Shares generally will be subject to information reporting and backup withholding tax, at the rate of 28%, if a U.S. Holder (a) fails to furnish such U.S. Holders correct U.S. taxpayer identification number (generally on Form W-9), (b) furnishes an incorrect U.S. taxpayer identification number, (c) is notified by the IRS that such U.S. Holder has previously failed to properly report items subject to backup withholding tax, or (d) fails to certify, under penalty of perjury, that such U.S. Holder has furnished its correct U.S. taxpayer identification number and that the IRS has not notified such U.S. Holder that it is subject to backup withholding tax.  However, U.S. Holders that are corporations generally are excluded from these information reporting and backup withholding tax rules.  Any amounts withheld under the U.S. backup withholding tax rules will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holders U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, or will be refunded, if such U.S. Holder furnishes required information to the IRS.  Each U.S. Holder should consult its own financial advisor, legal counsel, or accountant regarding the information reporting and backup withholding tax rules.



Additional Rules that May Apply to U.S. Holders



If the Company is a controlled foreign corporation or a passive foreign investment company (each as defined below), the preceding sections of this summary may not describe the U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.



Controlled Foreign Corporation



The Company generally will be a controlled foreign corporation under Section 957 of the Code (a CFC) if more than 50% of the total voting power or the total value of the outstanding shares of the Company is owned, directly or indirectly, by citizens or residents of the U.S., domestic partnerships, domestic corporations, domestic estates, or domestic trusts (each as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), each of which own, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of the Company (a 10% Shareholder).



If the Company is a CFC, a 10% Shareholder generally will be subject to current U.S. federal income tax with respect to (a) such 10% Shareholders pro rata share of the subpart F income (as defined in Section 952 of the Code) of the Company and (b) such 10% Shareholders pro rata share of the earnings of the Company invested in United States property (as defined in Section 956 of the Code).  In addition, under Section 1248 of the Code, any gain recognized on the sale or other taxable disposition of Common Shares by a U.S. Holder that was a 10% Shareholder at any time during the five-year period ending with such sale or other taxable disposition generally will be treated as a dividend to the extent of the earnings and profits of the Company that are attributable to such Common Shares.  If the Company is both a CFC and a passive foreign investment company (as defined below), the Company generally will be treated as a CFC (and not as a passive foreign investment company) with respect to any 10% Shareholder.



The Company does not believe that it has previously been, or currently is, a CFC.  However, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be a CFC for the current or any future taxable year.



Passive Foreign Investment Company



The Company generally will be a passive foreign investment company under Section 1297 of the Code (a PFIC) if, for a taxable year, (a) 75% or more of the gross income of the Company for such taxable year is passive income or (b) 50% or more of the assets held by the Company either produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income, based on the fair market value of such assets (or on the adjusted tax basis of such assets, if the Company is not publicly traded and either is a controlled foreign corporation or makes an election).  Passive income includes, for example, dividends, interest, certain rents and royalties, certain gains from the sale of stock and securities, and certain gains from commodities transactions.  However, for transactions entered into on or before December 31, 2004, gains arising from the sale of commodities generally are excluded from passive income if (a) a foreign corporation holds the commodities directly (and not through an agent or independent contractor) as inventory or similar property or as dealer property, (b) such foreign corporation incurs substantial expenses related to the production, processing, transportation, handling, or storage of the commodities, and (c) gross receipts from sales of commodities that satisfy the requirements of clauses (a) and (b) constitute at least 85% of the total gross receipts of such foreign corporation.   For transactions entered into after December 31, 2004, gains arising from the sale of commodities generally are excluded from passive income if substantially all of a foreign corporations commodities are (a) stock in trade of such foreign corporation or other property of a kind which would properly be included in inventory of such foreign corporation, or property held by such foreign corporation primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, (b) property used in the trade or business of such foreign corporation that would be subject to the allowance for depreciation under Section 167 of the Code, or (c) supplies of a type regularly used or consumed by such foreign corporation in the ordinary course of its trade or business.



For purposes of the PFIC income test and assets test described above, if the Company owns, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the total value of the outstanding shares of another foreign corporation, the Company will be treated as if it (a) held a proportionate share of the assets of such other foreign corporation and (b) received directly a proportionate share of the income of such other foreign corporation.  In addition, for purposes of the PFIC income test and asset test described above, passive income does not include any interest, dividends, rents, or royalties that are received or accrued by the Company from a related person (as defined in Section 954(d)(3) of the Code), to the extent such items are properly allocable to the income of such related person that is not passive income.



If the Company is a PFIC, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares will depend on whether such U.S. Holder makes an election to treat the Company as a qualified electing fund or QEF under Section 1295 of the Code (a QEF Election) or a mark-to-market election under Section 1296 of the Code (a Mark-to-Market Election).  A U.S. Holder that does not make either a QEF Election or a Mark-to-Market Election will be referred to in this summary as a Non-Electing U.S. Holder.



Under Section 1291 of the Code, any gain recognized on the sale or other taxable disposition of Common Shares, and any excess distribution (as defined in Section 1291(b) of the Code) paid on the Common Shares, must be ratably allocated to each day in a Non-Electing U.S. Holders holding period for the Common Shares.  The amount of any such gain or excess distribution allocated to prior years of such Non-Electing U.S. Holders holding period for the Common Shares generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the highest tax applicable to ordinary income in each such prior year.  A Non-Electing U.S. Holder will be required to pay interest on the resulting tax liability for each such prior year, calculated as if such tax liability had been due in each such prior year.



A U.S. Holder that makes a QEF Election generally will not be subject to the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above.  However, a U.S. Holder that makes a QEF Election generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such U.S. Holders pro rata share of (a) the net capital gain of the Company, which will be taxed as long-term capital gain to such U.S. Holder, and (b) and the ordinary earnings of the Company, which will be taxed as ordinary income to such U.S. Holder.  A U.S. Holder that makes a QEF Election will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such amounts for each taxable year in which the Company is a PFIC, regardless of whether such amounts are actually distributed to such U.S. Holder by the Company.



A U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election generally will not be subject to the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above.  A U.S. Holder may make a Mark-to-Market Election only if the Common Shares are marketable stock (as defined in Section 1296(e) of the Code).  A U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election will include in gross income, for each taxable year in which the Company is a PFIC, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the fair market value of the Common Shares as of the close of such taxable year over (b) such U.S. Holders tax basis in such Common Shares.  A U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election will, subject to certain limitations, be allowed a deduction in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) such U.S. Holders adjusted tax basis in the Common Shares over (b) the fair market value of such Common Shares as of the close of such taxable year.



The Company does not believe that it was a PFIC for the taxable year ended March 31, 2005, and does not expect that it will be a PFIC for the taxable year ending March 31, 2006.  There can be no assurance, however, that the IRS will not challenge the determination made by the Company concerning its PFIC status or that the Company will not be a PFIC for the current or any future taxable year.



The PFIC rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own financial advisor, legal counsel, or accountant regarding the PFIC rules and how the PFIC rules may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.



Canadian Taxation



The following summary fairly describes, as of the date hereof, the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to a U.S. Holder who is not and has not been or deemed to be resident in Canada for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "ITA") at any time while such U.S. Holder holds the common stock, is a resident of the U.S. for purposes of the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980), as amended (the "Convention"), and who, for purposes of the ITA, at all relevant times:



 is the beneficial owner of the common stock;

 holds the common stock as capital property;

 does not have a "permanent establishment" or "fixed base" in Canada, as defined in the Convention;

 does not use or hold (and is not deemed to use or hold) the common stock in carrying on a business in Canada; and

 deals at arm's length with us.



Special rules, which are not discussed below, may apply to "financial institutions" and "tax shelters" as defined in the ITA, and to non-resident insurers carrying on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere.



This summary is based upon the current provisions of the ITA, the regulations thereunder (the "Regulations"), the Convention, all specific proposed amendments to the ITA or the Regulations announced by or on behalf of the Canadian Minister of Finance prior to the date hereof, and the company's understanding of the current published administrative practices of the Canada Revenue Agency. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in law, whether by way of judicial, governmental or legislative decision or action, administrative practice nor any income tax laws or considerations of any province or territory of Canada or any jurisdiction other than Canada, which may differ from the Canadian federal income tax consequences described in this document.



The common stock will generally constitute capital property to a U.S. Holder unless such U.S. Holder holds such common stock in the course of carrying on a business of trading or dealing in securities or has acquired such common stock in a transaction or transactions considered to be an adventure in the nature of trade.



Under the Convention, dividends paid or credited, or deemed to be paid or credited, on the common stock to a U.S. Holder generally will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 15% of the gross amount of those dividends or deemed dividends. If a U.S. Holder is a corporation and owns 10% or more of the company's voting stock, the rate is reduced from 15% to 5%.





Under the Convention, dividends paid to religious, scientific, literary, educational or charitable organizations or certain pension, retirement or employee benefit organizations that have complied with specified administrative procedures are exempt from the aforementioned Canadian withholding tax so long as such organization is resident in and exempt from tax in the U.S.



A U.S. Holder will only be subject to taxation in Canada under the ITA on capital gains realized by the U.S. Holder on a disposition or deemed disposition of the common stock if the common stock constitutes "taxable Canadian property" within the meaning of the ITA at the time of the disposition or deemed disposition and the U.S. Holder is not afforded relief under the Convention. In general, the common stock will not be "taxable Canadian property" to a U.S. Holder if, at the time of its disposition, it is listed on a stock exchange that is prescribed in the Regulations (which includes American Stock Exchange), unless:



·

at any time within the five-year period immediately preceding the disposition or deemed disposition, the U.S. Holder, persons not dealing at arm's length with the U.S. Holder, or the U.S. Holder together with such non-arm's length persons, owned or had an interest in or a right or option to acquire 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of our capital stock;

·

the U.S. Holder was formerly resident in Canada and, upon ceasing to be a Canadian resident, elected under the ITA to have the common stock deemed to be "taxable Canadian property; or

·

the U.S. Holder's common stock was acquired in a tax deferred exchange in consideration for property that was itself "taxable Canadian property."



If a U.S. Holder's common stock is "taxable Canadian property," subject to the availability of an exemption under the Convention, such U.S. Holder will recognize a capital gain (or a capital loss) for the taxation year during which the U.S. Holder disposes, or is deemed to have disposed of, the common stock. Such capital gain (or capital loss) will be equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition exceed (or are less than) the U.S. Holder's adjusted cost base of such common stock and any reasonable costs of making the disposition. One-half of any such capital gain (a "taxable capital gain") must be included in income in computing the U.S. Holder's income and one half of any such capital loss (an "allowable capital loss") is generally deductible by the U.S. Holder from taxable capital gains arising in the year of disposition. To the extent a U.S. Holder has insufficient taxable capital gains in the current taxation year against which to apply an allowable capital loss, the deficiency will constitute a net capital loss for the current taxation year and may generally be carried back to any of the three preceding taxation years or carried forward to any future taxation year, subject to certain detailed rules in the ITA in this regard.



This summary does not take into account any provincial, territorial or foreign tax considerations, which may differ significantly from those discussed herein.



This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be relied on as legal or tax advice or representations to any particular investor.  Consequently, potential investors are urged to seek independent tax advice in respect of the consequences to them of the acquisition of common stock having regard to their particular circumstances.

ITEM 11  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company holds no material financial instruments.

The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk as it currently incurs  liabilities in United States dollars and Canadian dollars. Further, the Company also plans activities in different countries involving different local currencies. Exchange rates for these currencies in the future may have an adverse effect on our earnings or assets when these currencies are exchanged for Canadian dollars.  The Company has  not entered into forward foreign exchange contracts in an attempt to mitigate this risk.  To date, losses and gains resulting from foreign exchange transactions have been included in our results of operations.  Further discussion of foreign currency risk is set forth in Item 3 D under the heading, Conducting business in foreign countries.

The Company has no debt instruments subject to interest payments, sales contracts, swaps, derivatives, or forward agreements or contracts, or inventory.

The Company has no currency or commodity contracts, and the Company does not trade in such instruments.

The Company periodically accesses the capital markets with the issuance of new shares to fund operating expenses and new projects, and the Company does not maintain significant cash reserves over periods of time that could be materially affected by fluctuations in interest rates or foreign exchange rates.

ITEM 12  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES OTHER THAN EQUITY SECURITIES

Not applicable.

PART II



ITEM 13  DEFAULTS, DIVIDEND ARREARAGES AND DELINQUENCIES

None.

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

No modifications or qualifications have been made in the prior Fiscal Year to the instruments defining the rights of the holders of our Common Shares and no material amount of assets securing our securities has been withdrawn or substituted by us or anyone else (other than in the ordinary course of business).



On July 5, 2005, the Company sold its .75% indirect participation interest in oil exploration project in Papua New Guinea fos a sum of US$3.2 million. The carrying cost of the asset was approx. US$1.7 million. This is further explained  under item 8 (B) Significant Changes.



ITEM 15   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

A.    Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the "Evaluation Date"). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting them to the material information relating to the Company (or the Company's consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company's periodic SEC filings.

B.     Changes in Internal Controls

There were no significant changes made in the Company's internal controls or, to the Company's knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the Evaluation Date.

Mr. Kam Shah currently assumes the dual role of CEO and CFO and is currently the only executive director of the Company. Given the current size and nature of operations of the Company, strong financial and business background of Mr. Shah and existence of two independent directors out of three, the Company believes that existence of only one executive officer would not adversely affect the Companys disclosure controls and procedures.
