The SEC allows us to "incorporate by reference" the information we file with them, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to those documents.

Any statement contained in any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superceded for purposes of this registration statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any subsequently filed document which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supercedes the statement.    Any statement so modified or superceded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superceded, to constitute a part of this registration statement.
ITEM 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
Not Applicable.
ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
Not Applicable.
ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Under the
Business Corporations Act
(Ontario) (the "Act"), the Company may indemnify a present or former director or officer or a person who acts or acted at the Company's request as a director or officer or of another corporation of which the Company is or was a shareholder or creditor, and his heirs and legal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of being or having been such a director or officer if the director or officer acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, had reasonable grounds for believing that his conduct was lawful.  Such indemnification may be made in connection with an action by or on behalf of the Company or such other corporation only with court approval.  A director or officer is entitled to indemnification from the Company as a matter of right in respects of all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense of any civil, criminal or administrative proceeding to which he is a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of such corporation if he was substantially successful on the merits and fulfilled the conditions set forth above.
The by-laws of the Company provide that each director, each officer, each former director, each former officer and each person who acts or acted at the Company's request as a director or officer or of a body corporate of which the Company is or was a shareholder or creditor, and his heirs and legal representatives, shall be indemnified and saved harmless by the Company from and against all costs, charges and expenses, including without limitation, each amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which his is made a party by reason or being or having been a director or officer of the Company or such body corporation, if he acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the Company's best interests and in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty he had reasonable grounds for believing his conduct was lawful.  In certain circumstances the Company has provided its Directors or its subsidiaries' Directors with a written indemnification confirming the indemnification available under its by-laws.
The Company currently does not maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that, in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and is therefore unenforceable.

Not applicable.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.
(a)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement and
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
Provided, however, that
paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference herein.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Toronto, Province of Ontario, Canada, on January 12, 2007

Bontan Corporation Inc.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5R 2G3
Re:          Issuance of Securities
Ladies and Gentlemen:
You have requested our opinion as your special U.S. securities counsel with respect to certain matters in connection with the filing by Bontan Corporation Inc. (the "Company") of the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the sale of up to 1,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock") for possible issuance under the Company's 2007 Consultant Stock Compensation Plan (the "Plan").
In connection with this opinion, we have examined the Registration Statement and such other documents, records, certificates, memoranda and other instruments, as we deem necessary as a basis for this opinion. We have assumed the genuineness and authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies thereof and execution and delivery of all documents, where execution and delivery are a prerequisite to the effectiveness thereof.
We advise you that we are licensed to practice in Minnesota. Accordingly, our opinion assumes that the provincial laws of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada would yield the same opinion as application of the laws of the State of Minnesota and the federal laws of the United States.
On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, we are of the opinion that the Common Stock, when issued in accordance with the Plans and the Registration Statement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
Messerli & Kramer P.A.

The determinations of the Board of Directors on the matters referred to in this Section shall be conclusive.  The Board of Directors shall have sole and absolute discretion to amend this Plan.

X. LAWS AND REGULATIONS.
1. The obligation of the Company to sell and deliver shares of Common Stock on the grant of an Award under this Plan shall be subject to the condition that counsel for the Company be satisfied that the sale and delivery thereof will not violate the Act or any other applicable laws, rules or regulations.
