BONTAN CORPORATION INC.
NOTICE TO READER OF THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying consolidated financial statements for Bontan Corporation Inc. for the six months ended September 30, 2006 have been prepared by management in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied. These consolidated financial statements have not been reviewed by the auditors of the Company.
These financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events. Therefore, estimates and approximations have been made using careful judgement. Recognizing that the management is responsible for both the integrity and objectivity of the financial statements, management is satisfied that these financial statements have been fairly presented.
Canadian generally accepted accounting principles vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States would have affected results of operations for the six months ended September 30, 2006 and the shareholders’ equity as at that date to the extent summarised in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements.

CAPITAL STOCK (b) – Continued…….
(i)
On February 24, 2006, the Company reached an agreement with certain accredited investors for a private placement of 10.4 million Units at US$0.25 per Unit for gross proceeds of US$2.6 million. Each Unit includes one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles its holder to acquire one common share of the company at a price of US$0.35 within twenty-four months of the date of issuance of the Unit. The shares issued under this private placement would be restricted in terms of their transferability and salability in accordance with the relevant regulatory requirements. Private placement was closed on April 16, 2006. The number of Units subscribed under the private placement between April 1, 2006 and the closing date was 4.5 million resulting in issuance of equal number of common shares.
Refer to Note 6 regarding the details of the warrants issued and their valuation
(ii) Expenses relating to private placement relate to finder fee payable to Current Capital Corp., a related corporation, at the rate of 10% of the proceeds. Finder fee includes cash fee of $130,313 at 10% of the private placement proceeds of $1,303,126 received during the period and 1,040,000 warrants at 10% of the total number of Units at 10.4 million issued under the private placement. The warrants were issued on the closing date. Each warrant can be exercised to acquire one common share of the company at an exercise price of US$0.35 within 24 months of the date of its issuance. The warrants were valued at $609,730 as explained in Note 6.
(iii) 42,500 shares were issued under 2003 Consultant Stock Compensation Plan to Jeffrey Robinson; brother of Mr. Terence Robinson, the key consultant. The shares were issued for various services provided under consulting contract and valued at the fair market value of shares on the date of issue. The Consulting contract with Mr. Jeffrey Robinson expired on July 30, 2006 and has not been renewed.

6. WARRANTS - Continued
i.
The company issued 6.5 million warrants under a 2006 private placement. 2 million warrants relating to Units subscribed and paid for prior to March 31, 2006 and the balance 4.5 million relating to Units subscribed during the current period as explained in Note 5(b) (i). These warrants are convertible into equal number of common shares at an exercise price of US$0.35 per warrant and expiry within two years of their issue. As at September 30, 2006, none of the warrants were exercised or expired.
The fair value of these warrants has been estimated using a Black-Scholes option price model with the following assumptions:
Risk free interest rate
5%
Expected dividend
nil
Expected volatility
130%
Expected life
730 days
Market price
US$0.67
The amount of $3,810,814 has been accounted for as a reduction of the value of the shares issued.
ii.
On April 16, 2006, the Company issued 1,040,000 warrants to Current Capital Corp., a related party as part of the finder’s fee in connection with a private placement as explained in Note 5(b) ii. The warrants are convertible into equal number of common shares at an exercise price of US$0.35 per warrant and expiry within two years of their issue.
The fair value of these warrants has been estimated using a Black-Scholes option price model with the assumptions detailed in 6.i. above. The amount of $609,730 has been accounted for as a finder’s fee.
The shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants would be restricted in terms of their transferability and salability in accordance with the relevant regulatory requirements
7.
LOSS PER SHARE
Loss per share is calculated on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, which were 27,292,703 shares for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 27,281,870 for the six months ended September 30, 2006 (14,867,109 for three months ended September 30, 2005 and 13,218,228 for six months ended September 30, 2005 ).
The Company had approximately 13.2 million warrants and 4.8 million options, which were not exercised as at September 30, 2006. Inclusion of these warrants and options in the computation of diluted loss per share would have an anti-dilutive effect on loss per share and are therefore excluded from the computation. Consequently, there is no difference between loss per share and diluted loss per share.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
i.
Short-term Marketable securities
In accordance with Canadian GAAP, short-term marketable securities are carried at the lower of aggregate cost and current market values, with unrealized losses being included in the determination of net income (loss) for the year. Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, requires that equity securities that have readily determinable fair values be classified as either available-for-sale or trading securities, and that they be reported at fair market values. For available-for-sale securities, unrealized gains or losses are to be reported as other comprehensive income, a separate component of shareholders��� equity, until realized.
ii. New accounting pronouncements
The following were new accounting developments in the US standards that would affect the results of operations or financial position of the Company in addition to those detailed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2006.
In September 2006, FASB issued Standard 157 ‘Fair Value Measurements’. FAS 157 provides enhanced guidance for using fair values to measure assets and liabilities and applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. FAS157 does not expand the use of fair values in any new circumstances. FAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.
The Company has not yet determined the effect of future implementation of this new interpretation on its financial statements.
In September 2006, FASB issued Statement No. 158,Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R). This Statement applies to employers that sponsor single-employer defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans
The requirement to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan and the disclosure requirements for entities with publicly traded equity securities are effective as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006
The Company currently does not have any defined benefit plan or any other post retirement plans. The Company will therefore determine the effect of future implementation of these new FAS, if and when it introduces any post retirement plans.
