            Trading Update: Sale of non-core joint venture business

Bright Futures today announces that it has completed the sale of its 49%
shareholding in its joint venture route2mobility (r2m) to Enabling Partnership
Trading Limited, its joint venture partner. r2m operates the Motability scheme
for electric scooters and powered wheelchairs and was established in May 2003.

Since the announcement on 10 September 2003 of the Bright Futures store opening
programme, the company has conducted a review of its retail strategy and trading
assets. Following this review, the Company believes that the sale of its holding
in r2m, a non-core financing business, will free up additional resources to
enable it to concentrate on the core retail store opening programme. The sale
was completed for a consideration of #150,000 payable immediately.
