COMPANY BUSINESS (INCLUDING MAIN COUNTRY OF OPERATION) OR, IN THE CASE OF AN INVESTING COMPANY, DETAILS OF ITS INVESTING POLICY). IF THE ADMISSION IS SOUGHT AS A RESULT OF A REVERSE TAKE-OVER UNDER RULE 14, THIS SHOULD BE STATED:
The acquisition of PowerHouse Energy, Inc. by Bidtimes plc will result in a reverse takeover under the AIM Rules. On completion and prior to readmission of the Enlarged Group, the Company will change its name to PowerHouse Energy Group plc.
The Enlarged Group will provide fully integrated waste to energy solutions to its pipeline of new business opportunities, using technology recently licensed by PowerHouse from Pyromex Holding AG ("Pyromex"). PowerHouse has secured four sales contracts and the Company is focusing on executing these near term system sales in order to generate its first revenues from its new waste to energy business. A key focus will be the sale of units to Linc Energy, a key customer and strategic shareholder in PowerHouse, and PowerHouse Energy Australia, PowerHouse's exclusive distributor in Australia, as these initial sales have the potential to unlock more business in the attractive markets in which these companies operate. In addition, the Company will continue to focus on securing new sales contracts to build its growing sales pipeline.
The Company is also working closely with Pyromex to complete the commissioning of Pyromex's first commercial system in Munich, Germany, which is due to commence operation following commissioning in Q2 of 2011. The successful launch of this unit is expected to unlock a healthy pipeline of sales as it will be the first commercial demonstration of the capability of the technology.
