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 ASOS,
Greater London House, Hampstead Road, London, NW1 7FB.

'I am very pleased to report a strong first half performance in terms of both
sales and margin. Sales are 80% ahead of last year and our clothing margin has
improved by 3.5% points for the 6 months to 30th September 2007. Consequently,
we believe our profit before tax for the full year to 31 March 2008 will be
slightly ahead of market expectations.

We have experienced exceptionally strong performances in our women's clothing,
menswear and our lingerie and swimwear departments. We have also been encouraged
by the reaction to our new designer boutique and the recent launch of our
premium brand offer.

We have continued with our planned programme of investment, adding resource
across the business as well as increasing our logistics capacity to support our
current and future growth.

With six months of the year to go, including the important Christmas period, and
faced with tougher comparables, it is too early to assess whether our current
sales performance will continue for the full year.

Interim results will be released on 5th December 2007.'
