                Interim Results for six months ended 30 June 2010 
 
 
Chairman's statement 
 
I am pleased to present the interim results of the Company for the six month 
period ended 30 June 2010 in which the Company continued to pursue its stated 
investment strategy, albeit with a limited budget, in order to build value for 
its shareholders. 
 
During the period under review, the Company continued to focus on identifying 
and assessing investment opportunities in the energy sector, particularly the 
alternative energy sector. The Company is continuing to assess an opportunity in 
the clean energy sector which was highlighted in the Company's last annual 
report, as the Directors believe that considerable opportunities with the 
potential to create shareholder value exist within this industry. 
 
Very limited exploration work has been carried out on the exploration licence 
over the Kyber Pass project, the Company's joint venture interest in South 
Australia. The Company continues to review the data generated from this work, in 
order to assess whether further investment is warranted. 
 
During the six month period, the Company made a loss of GBP26,421 after 
taxation, compared with a loss of GBP101,358 in the ten months ended 31 December 
2009.

Notes to the interim results 
for the six months ended 30 June 2010 
 
 
1.         Accounting policies 
The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, 
"Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union. The principal 
accounting policies of Bidtimes for the interim financial statements have 
remained unchanged from those set out in Bidtimes' 2009 annual report and 
financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as 
adopted by the European Union. 
 
 
2.         Basis of preparation 
The financial information set out in this interim report does not constitute 
statutory accounts as defined in Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006.  The 
figures for the ten month period ended 31 December 2009, have been extracted 
from the statutory financial statements, prepared under IFRS, which have been 
filed with the Registrar of Companies.  The auditors report on those financial 
statements was unqualified, did not contain an emphasis of matter paragraph and 
did not contain a statement under Section 498 of the Companies Act 2006. 
 
 
3.         Dividends 
No dividend is proposed for the six months ended 30 June 2010. 
 
 
4.         Taxation 
On the grounds that year to date losses have been made there is no taxation 
charged to the profit and loss account in this period. 
 
 
5.         Loss per share 
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 shares in issue 
during the period.  The impact of the share options is anti-dilutive.  The loss 
and weighted average number of shares used in the calculations are set out below
