Oxygen, NADPH (Nicotinamide Dinucleotide Phosphate) and ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) molecules.

NADP+ is the final electron acceptor for non-cyclic photophosphorylation, which forms NADPH after it accepts the electron in NADP Reductase.
Water or H2O is broken down into Hydrogen ions and Oxygen molecules.
Hydrogen ions or H+ are pumped through the thylakoid membrane against the concentration gradient. When H+ diffuses down concentration gradient out of thylakoid through ATP synthase (which is embedded in thylakoid member), ATP is synthesised.

Hope this helps! :)
