Bright Station PLC
9 May 2001


The issuer advises that the sale of officeshopper assets announcement issued
today under RNS 3599D at 17:44 has been amended to remove unnecessary text.
The full amended version is shown below.


Sale of officeshopper assets



London 9 May 2001: Bright Station plc (LSE: BSN, NASDAQ: BSTN) ('Bright
Station' or 'the Group') announces that it has entered into a legally binding
agreement regarding the sale of the name, customer list and debtor book of
officeshopper, its online office supplies company, to Inkwell Direct, a
division of the Howarine Calvert group of companies, for consideration of up
to £450,000, payable in cash.



In the year ended 31 December 2000, officeshopper had turnover of £1.7 million
and a loss before interest and tax of £2.7 million. The net book value of the
assets that are subject to this transaction as at today's date is £357,000.
Consideration of £195,000 will be payable within the next 30 days, with the
balance of consideration payable based upon the recoverability of debtor
balances and the gross profit of officeshopper over the next 18 months.



This sale is in line with Bright Station's stated strategy of restructuring
the Group to reposition it as a 'pure play' knowledge management business
through Smartlogik, its knowledge management subsidiary.



The disposal of these officeshopper assets will reduce the ongoing operational
cash outflows of the Group and will mitigate anticipated closure costs.
Bright Station will retain the liability for any costs associated with the
closure of the officeshopper operations.



As part of the Group restructuring, Bright Station has also today transferred
its 100% shareholding in WebTop to Smartlogik. Smartlogik intends to leverage
WebTop's 500 million page index of the Web to complement their product
offering, allowing Smartlogik customers to search both internal and external
information simultaneously. In addition, WebTop's leading Cambridge-based
programmers will work on enhancing Smartlogik's knowledge management tools.

The only non-core business now remaining within the Group is Sparza, where the
cost base has been reduced and plans made for its closure in the event that an
offer is not forthcoming shortly.



During the past month corporate overheads have also been curtailed, and the
corporate centre is now focused exclusively on completing the restructuring
and on securing additional financing for the ongoing business, Smartlogik. In
light of the developments announced today, the Group will be able to make
further cost reductions during the remainder of Q2.



Allen Thomas, Chairman of Bright Station, said:



'I am pleased that we have agreed a sale of these officeshopper assets and
that we have made progress on the other aspects of our restructuring.
Discussions continue with a number of parties with regard to our financing
requirements. Based on the current status of these discussions the Board
remains confident of a successful outcome.'

[spear] 09/5/2001 22:32

tim,
things look grim, but if people can see through that this is the opportunity of the year, a little patience is called for, A lot of sorting out is needed BSN or shoulf I say SML ? will emerge much much stronger with better management whom the city can trust !!!

[raging bull1] 09/5/2001 22:15

i think we can expect the name of bright station to change soon to smartlogik thus ridding ourselves of the dw legacy - keeping the listing of course.
can only be good news for the future from now on

regards
tim

[raging bull1] 09/5/2001 22:12

you have missed your chance old chap
better have a look at the rns news x 3 of circa 1800 tonight
looks to me as if bsn are getting it together and quickly to
on the sort of news posted i would expect a rise in the share price from here starting tomorrow and when yes when the refinancing package is organised for sl/webtop then expect the share price to move back towards the 20p mark quickly
also good posibility that dw will purchase sparza with his remaining bsn stock holding before driving off into the sunset. otherwise sparza closes thus reducing cash burn considerably
regards
tim

[makeu] 09/5/2001 11:36

i am willing to put 10,000 cash only at 5p maybe 4p
if i am kind and feel the momentum at 6p. if not
south then back to 10p 0ffer and 9p bid might buy
from there in

[spear] 09/5/2001 08:08

Due a rebound soon, this company is in the process of rationalising, sorting out
management and finance. Dont get sucked in by the negative press. At this price this is an opportunity.
I know this sounds mad against the back drop of recent news....
but dont forget the intel / ibm deal plus new quality employees .. jim bair.
etc etc .....@ this price it is OK

Wait and see

[haystack] 09/5/2001 00:22

[trust_me_doc] 08/5/2001 19:53
