Nick Robertson, the Chief Executive, will make the following comments on current
trading at the Annual General Meeting to be held at 11.00am today at the
Chartered Accountants' Hall, One Moorgate Place, London, EC2R 6EA.

"I am pleased to report a strong first half performance with sales for ASOS.com
93% ahead for the 6 months to 30th September 2006. This is the result of the
investment made last year in our buying and merchandising teams and the
subsequent increase in the number of products available from 1500, 12 months
ago, to 4000 now. Encouragingly, all departments have recorded strong growth
with our branded and footwear divisions performing particularly well.

As previously advised, we have continued to invest in our infrastructure in the
first half of the year to support future growth plans. This will be reflected in
the administrative costs in the interim results to be released on 28 November
2006.

At this stage, despite much tougher comparables ahead (after adjusting for the
impact of the Buncefield fuel depot explosion) and the peak trading period still
to come, the board remains confident that the full year results will be in line
with market expectations."
