Final Results for the year end 31 December 2010
Chairman's statement
I am pleased to present the annual results of the Company for
the year ended 31 December 2010 in which the Company continued to
pursue its stated investment strategy, with a focus on reviewing
the potential acquisition of a preferred target company.
As a result on 1 April 2011 we were delighted to announce the
proposed acquisition of Powerhouse Energy Inc. ("Powerhouse"), a
company focusing on the commercialisation of an alternative energy
business based on zero emission conversion of waste materials and
coal deposits into a range of clean energy products.
The proposed acquisition is classified as a reverse takeover
under the AIM Rules and as such is subject to shareholder approval
at a general meeting to be held on 27 June 2011.
While the Company focused on the above transaction very limited
exploration work was carried out on the exploration licence over
the Kyber Pass project, the Company's joint venture interest in
South Australia. Subject to approval by shareholders of the
proposed acquisition of Powerhouse, the Company intends to
terminate the joint venture interest.
During the year, the Company made a loss of GBP89,154 after
taxation, compared with a loss of GBP101,358 in the ten months
ended 31 December 2009. Should the proposed acquisition of
Powerhouse be approved the next set of results will incorporate the
full trading results of the enlarged group.

Notes to the financial statements
1. Basis of preparation
The financial statements have continued to be prepared in
accordance with IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards)
as adopted by the European Union, and with those parts of the
Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under
IFRS.
Bidtimes plc's financial statements were previously prepared in
accordance with United Kingdom accounting standards (United Kingdom
Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) until 28 February 2007. The
date of transition to IFRS was 1 March 2007.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS
requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions
that affect the application of policies and reported amounts in the
financial statements. The areas involving a higher degree of
judgements or complexity, or areas where assumptions or estimates
are significant to the financial statements are disclosed with the
notes.
The financial information set out above does not constitute the
Company's statutory accounts for the period ended 31 December 2009
or the year ended 31 December 2010, but is derived from those
accounts. Statutory accounts for 2009 have been delivered to the
Registrar of Companies and those for 2010 will be delivered
following the Company's Annual General Meeting.

3. Taxation on loss on ordinary activities
No taxation charge arises on the loss for the year (Period ended

The tax assessed for the year is different to the standard rate
of corporation tax in the UK of 28 per cent (Period ended 31
December 2009: 28 per cent). The differences are explained as
follows:

The calculation of the basic loss per share is based on the loss
on ordinary activities after tax and on the weighted average number
of ordinary shares in issue during the year. The impact of the
share options is anti dilutive.
