Further re: licence discussions and Notice of General Meeting

Resolution of licence discussions

On 20 April 2011, the Company announced that it had received notice that a third party had also been granted exclusive rights by Pyromex Holding AG ("Pyromex") to use, own, assemble and install and operate Pyromex UHTG systems in Australia and also in certain other territories, contrary to information previously supplied by Pyromex to PowerHouse Energy, Inc. ("PowerHouse") and inconsistent with the disclosure contained in the Admission Document published by the Company on 31 March 2011. In order to reach a resolution to this matter, the Directors of Bidtimes adjourned the General Meeting of the Company from 26 April 2011 to 12 May 2011.

On 12 May 2011, the Company announced that it had been advised that PowerHouse, Pyromex and the third party had entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding and that in order to allow the parties to finalise the necessary documentation, the Company had decided to adjourn the General Meeting to be held later that day until further notice.

The Company is now pleased to announce that it has today entered into a settlement agreement with Pyromex and RenewMe Limited, a corporation incorporated in Cyprus ("RenewMe"), pursuant to which PowerHouse will continue to hold the exclusive rights to Australia and in addition has gained the exclusive rights to New Zealand

As a result of these arrangements, PowerHouse now has a sole and exclusive licence in North America, Central America, the Surrounding Islands, Nigeria, Australia and New Zealand and a non-exclusive licence in the Middle East and North Africa (but excluding Nigeria), the Gulf Co-operation Council (made up of Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates and Oman), French Polynesia, South Pacific, Asia (but excluding India) and United States Territories.

Furthermore, Pyromex has granted to PowerHouse an exclusive perpetual and irrevocable licence to use various patents and licensed technology insofar as they relate to syngas production using above ground coal as feedstock (with the right to sub-license) and including the rights to fabricate, manufacture, have manufactured and sell, operate or otherwise supply coal to syngas units worldwide excluding Italy.

Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Pyromex has agreed with PowerHouse to waive PowerHouse's obligation to make the next five annual $200,000 payments under the Pyromex Licence on the basis that PowerHouse will pay such payments to RenewMe on the terms of the agreement with RenewMe. The net effect on the Company is cash neutral.

In addition, conditional upon the acquisition of PowerHouse being completed, the Company has guaranteed the performance of all of PowerHouse's obligations under the agreements with RenewMe.

Notice of General Meeting

Due to the lapse of time since the date of publication of the Admission Document and the notice of the General Meeting included in it, the Company is now reconvening the adjourned General Meeting which will now be held on 27 June 2011.

The Company posted a circular on 4 June 2011 containing a notice reconvening the adjourned General Meeting, which has been reconvened for 10.00 a.m. on 27 June 2011 at the offices of Merchant Securities, 51-55 Gresham Street, London EC2V 7HQ for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing the following resolutions:
