                        TRADING UPDATE
 In line with market expectations and confident for year ahead

Ahead of a planned series of institutional meetings to be held
next week, ScS is pleased to announce that, subject to suppliers
fulfilling delivery promises, it expects pre-tax profits for
the year to September 1998 to be in line with current market
expectations. This will be achieved despite the acceleration
in the store opening programme. In addition,based on current
indications of trading, ScS approaches the new financial year
with confidence.

In the financial year to September 1998, ScS will have opened
stores in Coventry, Telford, Banbury and Birmingham, increasing
the number of stores to 16. The Birmingham store (on the
Stechford Retail Park), which opened in August, is proving to be
ScS's most successful store opening to date. 

ScS has plans to open a further five stores in financial year
1999, starting with Nottingham where ScS has become the second
tenant to take a unit at Wilson Bowden Properties' Lady Bay
Retail Park development. It is intended that the store will
commence trading on Boxing day.

The preliminary announcement of the results ended 30th
September 1998 will be made on Tuesday 1st December 1998.
