Bright Things Plc
Chairman's Statement

Since April of this year, when your company raised four million pounds of
working capital, much progress has been made.

Considerable effort has been put into the creation of both the hardware unit
(the games console) and the interactive software to accompany it. To date
everything appears to be close to the schedule set by the executive team, but
there are several more months of work to follow before we will be in a position
to enter the manufacturing phase.

When the company presented to potential investors earlier this year it was made
clear that one of the keys to success would be the acquisition of rights to well
known children's properties such as Teletubbies, Noddy and Balamory. I am
pleased to report that the company has in fact been more successful in this area
than anticipated. The successful partnership signed with BBC Worldwide on 7 May
2004 not only saw us obtaining the rights to seven children's properties (as
detailed below), but also secured the secondment of a dedicated software
development management team from BBC Worldwide's award winning multi-media
business. Recently we have signed two properties from Entertainment Rights:
Postman Pat and Little Red Tractor.

We now have the rights to create interactive games designed for our console from
the following rights holders:

BBC: Andy Pandy, Balamory, Bill & Ben, Fimbles, Little Robots, Teletubbies,
Tweenies.

Chorion: Noddy

Entertainment Rights*: Postman Pat, Little Red Tractor

* signed post 1 October 2004

This brings the total number of signed titles to 10 which is higher than
expected and a most welcome development. We are also in active discussions with
other rights holders for additional titles. The company has been pleased by the
interest and enthusiasm of right holders who share in the belief that this
product has potential.

On the marketing front we have now prepared all the artwork and creative
treatment for the console and the line-look of the software. Advertising and PR
plans are being finalised for the introduction of the unit next year.
Preliminary discussions with key members of the trade are encouraging, and we
hope to have material progress on this in due course. As you will all
appreciate, the launching of any product of this nature requires careful
handling and the company is not giving too many details at this early stage.

There are many challenges ahead and risks attached to any project of this
nature, but I am pleased by the progress to date and the general reaction to the
product. I would like to thank all those who have been working so hard with us
on this venture.

Financial Review

Bright Things Plc was incorporated on 8 March 2004. On 16 April 2004 the entire
share capital of Bright Entertainment Limited (formerly Bright Things Limited)
was acquired by Bright Things Plc. The consideration comprised shares in Bright
Things Plc which were issued to the shareholders of Bright Entertainment Limited
on a share for share exchange basis.

Bright Things Plc placed 5,000,000 new ordinary shares at a price of 90 pence
per share and was admitted to trading on AIM on 30 April 2004. The company
raised £3,957,000 net of costs from this issue of ordinary shares.

The shareholders of Bright Things Plc post acquisition and the placing of new
ordinary shares comprised both the controlling management shareholders, new
institutional and private shareholders, and ex-Bright Entertainment Limited
shareholders.

The circumstances of the acquisition described above indicate that it meets the
criteria that would allow merger accounting relief provisions under s131
Companies Act to be adopted, summarised as follows:
(a)   Bright Things Plc acquires a 100% equity interest in Bright Entertainment
      Limited through the issue of equity shares on a share for share basis.

Merger accounting has been applied and the effect that this has on the
consolidated accounts is as follows:
(a)   the consolidated results include those of the trading company Bright
      Entertainment Limited for the nine month period to 30 September 2004;
(b)   a merger reserve with a deficit of £858,000 is created being the
      difference between the cost of the investment in Bright Entertainment 
      Limited (as shown in Bright Things Plc's balance sheet of £1,000,000) and 
      the nominal value of the share capital and share premium as shown in 
      Bright Entertainment Limited's balance sheet of £142,000.

Bright Things Plc entered into an agreement with BBC Worldwide Limited on 7 May
2004 (as described in the Chairman's statement). Part of the consideration
payable on this agreement was settled by the issue of 333,333 ordinary shares at
90 pence each to BBC Worldwide Limited on 14 May 2004.

Administrative expenses

Trading commenced in April 2004, administrative expenses relate to the nine
months ended 30 September 2004 and are the main component of the loss on
ordinary activities during the period. Administrative expenses are broken down
into two categories:

Research & development expenditure and acquisition of licences - £994,000;
Research and development expenditure incurred on hardware and software has been
written off to the profit and loss account. As part of the BBC Worldwide
contract as described in the Chairman's statement, six members of staff from BBC
Worldwide Limited were seconded to the company to work on the development of the
software titles. Hardware development is taking place using specialised
engineering firms primarily based in California, USA.

All licensing costs have been written off on the basis that there are still
risks ahead. Licensing expenditure includes payments made to two license holders
(BBC Worldwide and Chorion) to acquire the rights to licensed properties and to
develop interactive DVD games which work on our hardware platform for commercial
exploitation. Licensing expenditure includes £83,500 relating to advances paid
which are recoupable against future royalties payable. Licensing expenditure
includes £300,000 which was settled by the issue of 333,333 new ordinary shares.

General & administrative expenditure - £616,000;
The company opened offices in London and Palo Alto, California, USA during the
period. A specialised marketing agency and strategic planning consultant have
been appointed during the period.

Earnings per share

Basic loss per share of 12.1p (2003 loss of 1.0p) has increased due to the
scaling up of the companies research and development activities.

Net assets

The increase in Net Assets to £2,691,000 (2003 net liabilities £120,000) is
largely due to the increase in cash resulting from the issue of new shares from
the placing in April 2004.

Cash at bank at 30 September is £2,596,000, of this £1,000,000 is held on Money
Market Fixed Term Deposit maturing in January 2005. The remainder of the funds
are held on Money Market Call Deposit. The company has purchased US Dollars in
the period to cover its future exposure to US Dollar expenditure.

Bright Things Plc
Notes

1  Basis of Preparation

The results for the nine months ended 30 September 2004 and the comparative
figures for the nine months ended 30 September 2003 are unaudited. They have
been prepared on accounting bases and policies that are consistent with those
used in the preparation of the financial statements of the Group for the period
ended 31 December 2003.

The financial information contained in this report does not constitute statutory
accounts within the meaning of Section 240 of the Companies Act 1985. The
company was incorporated on 8 March 2004 and has yet to submit accounts. The
results of Bright Entertainment Limited for the period ended 31 December 2003
were reported on by the auditors and received an unqualified report and
contained no statement under Section 237(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985.
Full accounts have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies.

Basis of Consolidation

The unaudited consolidated accounts for Bright Things Plc incorporate the
results of Bright Things Plc and its subsidiary undertaking, Bright
Entertainment Limited (formerly Bright Things Limited), using the merger
accounting method.

Bright Things Plc was incorporated on 8 March 2004 and as such the comparative
figures are proforma and represent the results of Bright Entertainment Limited
only. Transactions in the three month period October to December 2003 were
insignificant and hence the 9 month comparative figures are proforma and are
based on the results and net assets of Bright Entertainment Limited, adjusted
for the shares issued to effect the merger.

The company intends its year end to be 31 March, with its first annual results
to 31 March 2005. Due to the timing of the fundraising in April 2004, and the
appropriate scaling up of trading activities at this time, it was considered
appropriate to prepare this first set of interim results for the 9 months ended
30 September 2004.

2  Basic loss per share for the nine months ended 30 September 2004 have been
calculated on the basis of the loss after taxation for the period of £1,568,000
(2003 £98,000) and the average number of shares in issue during the period of
12,980,535 (2003 10,000,000). The effect of all potential ordinary shares is
antidilutive.
