trading at the Annual General Meeting to be held at 11.00 am today at JPMorgan 
Cazenove, 20 Moorgate, London, EC2R 6DA. 
"I am pleased to report another strong first half performance for ASOS. Sales 
for the 6 months to 30 September are 47% ahead of the comparable period last 
year with International sales increasing by over 110%, representing around 25% 
of total sales for the period. 
The results to date are in line with management's expectations. We expect the 
first half outcome to be marginally ahead of the prior year and continue to view 
the outlook for the full year with confidence. 
As at 30 September 2009, ASOS has 1.2m active customers, up from 890,000 at the 
same point last year. 
Highlights from the period include; the introduction of Gap and Mango, the 
launch of Menswear into our Outlet offer and the introduction of 'free returns' 
for all our UK customers.  Additionally, we added a further 56 countries to our 
International shipping list taking the total to 114 compared to 58 at the time 
we issued our full year results.  We also enhanced our delivery options for 
International customers, introducing fixed rate and express shipping options." 
 
 
A further trading update will be provided at the time of the interim results for 
the six months ended 30 September 2009, which will be released on 16 November 
2009.
