'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.'
