                                    ASOS plc

                               ' ASOS' or 'Group'

                  ('A leading Internet based fashion retailer')


                              PRE-CLOSE STATEMENT


*         Profits for the year to 31 March 2005 in-line with market expectations

*         Move to new 70,000 sq.ft warehouse scheduled for August 2005

*         One million unique customers in March 2005

*         Over 580,000 registered customers

*         Confident of another strong year


Nick Robertson, the Chief Executive, commenting on the results, said:


I can confirm that the profit before tax and goodwill amortisation for the year
ended 31 March 2005 will be in line with market expectations and will be not
less than £1.05 million.  We estimate that group sales for the period increased
by 79% to £13.4 million.


The move to the new 70,000 sq. ft. warehouse has been scheduled for the first
week in August.  This has not, and will not effect current trading, as stock in
the business is currently 30-40% lower than pre-Christmas levels.


I remain optimistic about the prospects for the year ending March 2006.  Young
fashion appears to be more resilient to macro economic pressures and the Company
will benefit from a full year of sales for the additional departments added
throughout 2004.


The web site has had a make-over, and our traffic levels are the highest they
have ever been. In March 2005 we attracted over one million unique customers for
the first time, and as at 1 June 2005 we had over 580,000 registered customers.
Consequently, I am confident that we can look forward to another strong year.


It is anticipated that the preliminary results for the year ended 31 March 2005
will be issued in the second week of July.
