                               INTERIM STATEMENT

                     for the six months ended 30 JUNE 2006



CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT


Six months ended 30 June 2006


Introduction and Finance Overview


The trading subsidiaries were disposed of to Sussex Wellbeing Limited for a
consideration of #913,719 on 30 March 2006, which gave rise to a loss on
disposal of these discontinued operations of #471,000. The operating loss of the
subsidiaries for the 3 months prior to 30 March 2006 are incorporated in the
consolidated unaudited profit and loss account, and amounted to #21,000.
Following the disposal of the trading subsidiaries, Bright Futures Group PLC
("the Company") has not had any trading businesses.


The funds from the disposal, after the deduction of transaction costs and other
ongoing company expenses, amounted to #768,000 as at 30 June 2006. The majority
of these funds are invested on bank deposit attracting interest at market rates.


Costs are restrained to the absolute minimum necessary to maintain our AIM
listing whilst actively seeking a new acquisition opportunity.


Change of Directors and acquisition search


The former directors of the company resigned on 30 May 2006 and myself and
Marcus Yeoman were appointed as non-executive Directors with the objective of
identifying a business that could be acquired by the Company and which has a
good prospect of increasing shareholder value over time.


We have looked at a number of opportunities in a variety of sectors to date and
will continue to search selectively for the right value proposition for the
Company. We anticipate that the current non-executive Directors will be
compensated by the issue of warrants in the Company for the successful
identification and acquisition of a new trading operation.


Our aim is to have completed this process and seek shareholder approval for the
acquisition as soon as possible prior to 31 March 2007.
