Adili plc, the online ethical fashion retailer which was admitted to trading on
AIM in December 2007, announces a trading update for the Christmas 2007 trading
period.

Sales in the four weeks prior to the final shipping date for Christmas (21
December 2007) were up by 388 per cent. on those for the same period in 2006.
2,357 items (2006: 835) were shipped, arising from 1,050 orders (2006: 376),
during the same period.

The Company also reports that strong trading has continued into the sale
period, which commenced on 21 December 2007.

The Directors are greatly encouraged by the level of trading leading up to
Christmas and the strong start to the Sale, which was in line with their
expectations.

Adam Smith, Chief Executive, commented:

"Given the increasing share of the retail market being taken by ethical
consumerism together with the continued rapid growth of online retail sales, we
remain confident and excited about the prospects for Adili."
