Interim Results for six months ended
31 August 2009
Chairman's statement
I am pleased to present the interim results for the Group for the six
months ended 31 August 2009.
During the period the Company continued to pursue the investment strategy as
defined in the last annual report, albeit with a limited budget in order to
build value for its Shareholders.
Initial exploration work has been carried out on the exploration licence over
the Kyber Pass project where the company is earning a joint venture interest in
South Australia.
In light of the significant increases in the gold price and interest in uranium
the Directors believe that this property has the potential to deliver
significant exposure to both commodities. Work on the project will continue into
the coming half to determine its actual potential.
Additionally during the period under review the Company has continued to
identify and assess other investment opportunities in the minerals and energy
sectors in line with its investment strategy, and is also currently assessing
opportunities in the clean energy sector.
Over the interim period the Company has made a loss for the period of
GBP61,578 after taxation, compared with a loss of GBP91,938 in the corresponding
six month period in 2008.

Notes to the interim results
for the six months ended 31 August 2009
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 240 of the Companies Act 1985. The
figures for the year ended 28 February 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 and did not contain a statement under Section 237(2) or Section
237(3) of the Companies Act 1985.
3. Dividends
No dividend is proposed for the six months ended 31 August 2009.
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
