                          CHRISTMAS TRADING STATEMENT


*  ASOS.com sales + 80% for the 4 weeks to 10 December 2006**

    NB. **Comparative figures for 11 December 2006 to 15 January 2007 do not exist
    due to the closure of ASOS following the Buncefield fuel depot explosion on 
    11 December 2005


*  Strong trading continues


*  710,000 items (285,000 orders) successfully shipped across November
   and December 2006


Against tougher comparatives ASOS managed an 80% increase in sales for the 4
weeks to 10 December and trading has continued strongly since. 710,000 items
(285,000 orders) were shipped over the Christmas period.


Nick Robertson, the Chief Executive, commenting on Christmas trading, said:

'We had a great Christmas. The fact that we continue to outperform the online
market in general, is testament to our buyers, our proposition, and the enduring
appeal of ASOS amongst our core customer base.

Due to the warehouse closure last year, we do not have a comparative for the
whole Christmas period. Current trading is in line with internal forecasts and
at this stage we estimate our profit before tax for the full year will be in
line with market expectations.'
