The spontaneous interlayer phase coherent (111) state of bi-layer Quantum Hall system at filling factor $\nu=1$ may be viewed as a condensate of interlayer particle-hole pairs or excitons. We show in this paper that when the layers are biased in such a way that these excitons are very dilute, they may be viewed as point-like bosons. We calculate the exciton dispersion relation, and show that the exciton-exciton interaction is dominated by the dipole moment they carry. In addition to the phase coherent state, we also find a Wigner Crystal/Glass phase in the presence/absence of disorder which is an insulating state for the excitons. The position of the phase boundary is estimated and the properties of the superfluid-insulator type transition between these two phases is discussed. We also discuss the relation between these "dipolar" excitons and the "dipolar" composite fermions studied in the context of half-filled Landau level.
