                                VICTORIA P.L.C.
                                 Trading Update


Following a meeting of its board of directors yesterday, Victoria P.L.C wishes
to provide the following update to the market on trading in the final quarter of
its financial year ended 29 March 2003.


Trading in the final quarter has remained strong across all parts of the Group,
and the significant increase in the level of sales experienced in the third
quarter has continued since Christmas, giving a very strong finish to the year.


As a result of this ongoing high level of activity throughout the final quarter,
the Board estimates that Group pre-tax profits for the year will be not less
than £2.9 million.  This estimate is based on unaudited management accounts for
the period.


Further details will be provided in the preliminary announcement of audited
results, which will be made on 17 June 2003.
