PART 1
Item 1. Exchange Act Reporting History
A.
InNexus Biotechnology Inc. (the "Company") first incurred the duty to file reports under Section 13(a) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") sixty days after it filed a Registration Statement on Form 20-F with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to register its shares of common stock ("Common Shares") under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. The Registration Statement on Form 20-F was initially filed on March 30, 2004
B.
The Company has filed or submitted all reports required under Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act and the corresponding rules of the SEC for the 12 months preceding the filing of this Form 15F, including at least one annual report pursuant to section 13(a) of the Exchange Act.
Item 2. Recent United States Market Activity
The Company has never sold its securities in the United States in an offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933 other than an offering to employees that was registered on Form S-8.
Item 3. Foreign Listing and Primary Trading Market
A.
The Company has maintained a listing of its Common Shares under the trading symbol "ISX" on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V"), the primary trading market (as defined in Rule 12h-6(f)) for the Common Shares, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada (the "Primary Jurisdiction").
B.
The date of the initial listing of the Common Shares on the TSX-V was October 9, 1998. The Common Shares have been listed on the TSX-V since such date. Thus, the Company has maintained a listing of the Common Shares for a period that is longer than the 12 months preceding the date of the filing of this Form 15F.
C.
To the best knowledge of the Company, for the period commencing on December 1, 2008 and ended on and including November 30, 2009 (the "Recent Trading Period"), the percentage of worldwide trading in the Common Shares that occurred in the Primary Jurisdiction was 85%, and as such the primary trading market is larger than the trading market for the Common Shares in the United States during the same period.
