Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including forward-looking
statements about the Company's estimated revenue, gross margins,
earnings and tax rates. All statements other than statements of
historical facts contained in this press release, including statements
regarding the Company's future financial position, business strategy
and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are
forward looking statements. The words "believe," "may," "will,"
"estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "expect," and similar
expressions, as they relate to the Company, are intended to identify
forward looking statements. Bidz based these forward-looking
statements largely on current expectations and projections about
future events and financial trends that Bidz believes may affect its
financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and
financial needs. Risks and uncertainties relating to these statements
include the ability of the Company to attract customers to its website
and offer attractive products; to maintain its website, electronic
data processing systems, and systems hardware; to forecast accurately
net revenue and plan for expenses; to protect intellectual property
rights; and potential litigation and government enforcement actions
that may result from our prior securities offerings. All
forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by
reference to the factors described in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors"
in Bidz' 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in Part II, Item 1A,
"Risk Factors" in Bidz' Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended September 30, 2007, that could cause the actual results of Bidz
to differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking
statements.

   All subsequent forward-looking statements, whether written or oral
and whether made by or on behalf of Bidz, also are expressly qualified
by these cautionary statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks
only as of the date on which such statement is made, and Bidz
undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to
reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement
is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New
factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for Bidz to
predict all such factors, nor can it assess the impact of each such
factor or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors,
may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any
forward-looking statement.
