         Information in this Form 6-K, including exhibits, contains "forward-
looking" statements about Bright Station. By their nature, forward looking
statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that
will occur in the future. There are a number of factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward looking
statements including amongst other things, changes in demand for Bright
Station's products; fluctuations in quarterly results; dependence on key
personnel; growth of the Internet; investment risk; financial risk management
and the risk of litigation. Additional factors that could cause actual results
to differ materially are discussed in Bright Station's recent filing with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to
its Annual Report in Form 20-F and its Form 6-K's.
