Trading Update
Bright Things plc, the creator of Bubble, the pre-school interactive games
console and associated software, announces that in excess of 28,000 Bubble
hardware units were shipped into the sales channel by Bandai in the period to 31
December 2005. As a result the company expects to make a loss before tax in the
range £4.5M - £5.0M for the year ended 31 March 2006.
As previously announced Bandai, distributor of Bubble, have now ordered a total
of 112,000 units, 86,000 of which shipped to their warehouse by 31 December
2005. The remaining 26,000 are due to arrive from China in the first quarter of
2006.
As is normal for products and brands in this category, sales can take time to
build, typically rising each year after launch. As previously stated the
majority of the units ordered by Bandai are expected to be sold in 2006.
Six games are now available for Bubble, including titles based on 'actual TV
footage' from Thomas & Friends, Noddy and The Tweenies. Further games are
scheduled for launch in Spring 2006, based on 'actual TV footage' from Bob the
Builder, Postman Pat, Angelina Ballerina and Pingu.
