"We are pleased to report another year of international success for Ted Baker
despite a tough domestic retail environment. Design, product quality and
attention to detail continue to drive the performance of the brand.



Our multi-channel distribution strategy is providing a strong foundation for our
global expansion. We are now carefully launching Ted Baker in Asia and the
Middle East through licence agreements and over the next few years the
distribution of our brand will extend to a further sixteen countries.



While being cautious of the economic outlook, we remain confident in the long
term strength of the Ted Baker brand."

Notes to Editors



'No Ordinary Designer Label...' Ted Baker has grown steadily from a single shirt
specialist store in Glasgow to an international brand that distributes through
retail showcases, leading department stores and key independents in Europe, USA,
Canada and Australasia. In 2006 distribution will extend to the Middle East and
Asia.



Using three distinct channels of distribution, retail, wholesale and licensing,
allows Ted to pursue a policy of careful brand management and growth by
extending the breadth of the collections, controlling distribution channels and
developing our presence within key markets especially the United States.



Ted's collections include three men's ranges: Global, which consists of limited
edition opulent pieces; Endurance, a fusion of traditional tailoring with 21st
century technology and high performance fabrics; and Men's Mainline which is a
combined collection of laid-back denim pieces, casual shirts and contemporary
suiting. Ted Womenswear collection includes tailoring, silk jerseys, directional
knitwear, sophisticated dresses, and appliqued denim pieces. Both the men's and
women's offer is complimented by their individual accessory collections.The
Childrenswear and Babywear ranges are aptly named Teddy Boy, Teddy Girl, Teddy
Baby and are treated as 'small cuts dressed by Ted.' Fragrances, Footwear,
Eyewear, Watches and Intimates are designed by Ted and distributed through
licensees.



Renowned for the brand's quirky sense of humour and attention to detail, Ted
Baker has always had a very clear unswerving focus on quality. Ted creates
collections that appeal to a broad range of style conscious men and women
looking for that certain something a little out of the ordinary.





CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT





I am pleased to report strong results despite a marked slowdown in the domestic
retail economy. Solid growth in our three divisions, retail, wholesale and
licensing, resulted in both turnover and profits being significantly up on last
year, reflecting the strength of the brand. Ted Baker continues to make good
progress in the United States, with new store openings in Los Angeles and Dallas
during the year. Towards the end of the year, we signed three licences to take
the brand into a further sixteen countries across Asia and the Middle East. I
would like to thank the team at Ted Baker for another successful year for our
business.



Results

Group turnover increased by 11.4% to #117.8m (2005: #105.8m) for the 52 weeks
ended 28 January 2006. Operating profit increased by 11.8% to #18.3m (2005:
#16.4m) and profit before tax increased by 12.9% to #18.4m (2005: #16.3m). Basic
earnings per share increased by 14.2% to 30.6p per share (2005: 26.8p per
share).



Dividends

The Board is pleased to recommend a final dividend of 8.2p per share (2005: 7.3p
per share) making a total for the year of 12.1p per share (2005: 10.8p per
share) an increase of 12.0% on the previous year, which is in line with our
targeted dividend cover of two and a half times. The final dividend will be
payable on 23 June 2006 to those shareholders on the register on 19 May 2006.



Share Buy-back

In line with market practice, the Company will seek authority from shareholders
to buy back up to 10% of the ordinary issued share capital of the Company in the
next twelve months.  As the exercise of such authority could give rise to an
obligation on the part of Ray Kelvin, chief executive of the Company, to make a
mandatory offer under Rule 9 of The City Code on Takeovers and Mergers, such
authority will also be conditional on the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers
agreeing to grant a dispensation from that obligation.  Further details of this
will be sent out in a letter accompanying the Notice of Meeting.



Current Trading

The reaction to our Spring Summer 2006 collection has been encouraging with
total retail sales ahead by 5.3% for the first seven weeks, compared with the
same period last year, even though two stores were closed for refurbishment
during part of the period.



Later phasing of deliveries and difficult market conditions currently being
experienced by some of our trustees have led to wholesale sales being down 14.6%
compared to the same period last year.



We will continue our expansion in the United States in May with a store opening
in South Coast Plaza, a leading shopping centre located in Costa Mesa,
California.



While being mindful of the current economic conditions, at this early stage we
remain confident of another year of growth and development for our brand.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S REVIEW



It has been another good year for Ted Baker despite a tough UK retail
environment. Increased turnover and profit growth demonstrate the resilience of
our multi-channel distribution strategy. The brand performed well thanks to our
key strengths of design, product quality and attention to detail. During the
period we continued to build our presence in the United States with the
successful openings of two more stores in Los Angeles and Dallas. We are now
launching the brand in Asia and the Middle East through licence agreements
signed with two leading partners: The Li & Fung Group and RSH Limited. As a
result over the next few years the distribution of our brand will extend to a
further sixteen countries.



Retail

Our retail division performed strongly during the year with sales up 11.7% to
#80.1m (2005: #71.7m). The average retail square footage rose by 20.5% over the
period to 137,538 sq. ft. (2005: 114,153 sq. ft.). At 28 January 2006, total
retail square footage was 141,022 sq. ft. (2005: 129,023 sq. ft.) representing
an increase of 9.3%. As anticipated, retail sales per square foot decreased from
#628 to #582 due to a significant increase in retail space as a result of
relocations and new openings, which have lower than average trading densities.



At 28 January 2006, the retail division consisted of 102 retail locations (2005:
96) comprising 19 UK stores (2005: 19), 7 overseas stores (2005: 6), 68
concessions (2005: 64) and 8 outlet stores (2005: 7).



In the United States, our expansion strategy continued as planned with the
opening of a 3,310 sq.ft. 'Best in Show' store in Los Angeles in June and a new
3,500 sq.ft. store in November, as part of the expansion to the exclusive North
Park centre in Dallas. Both stores have received very positive reactions. We
also expanded the New York store, with additional space dedicated to Womenswear
collections, based around an English Tea Party theme. Other stores in the United
States continued to perform well and in line with our expectations. Miami has
now been closed and as previously indicated there is no profit impact associated
with this exit as the assets were fully written off in the previous financial
year. We remain committed to further store openings in the United States as we
find appropriate locations to showcase the brand.



Wholesale

Our wholesale division performed strongly during the year as wholesale sales
rose by 10.8% to #37.8m (2005: #34.1m). Our principal collections, men's and
women's casualwear, Endurance and Accessories all performed well, with
womenswear in particular recording above average growth. However, childrenswear
was affected by difficult trading conditions during the period.



Underlying gross margins were slightly ahead of last year due to buying
efficiencies but this was impacted by a small level of inventory management in
the second half leading to an achieved gross margin of 42.2% (2005: 42.6%),
which was slightly below last year.


Licence Income

Licence income increased by 9.4% to #3.5m (2005: #3.2m).



In the US, our wholesale licensee, Hartmarx Corporation, made good progress
although the minimum guarantee for the period was not exceeded. Tura LP was
appointed by Hartmarx as sub-licensee for eyewear in the US and Canada and they
have made an excellent start, considerably exceeding our expectations. Our
licensee in Australia and New Zealand, Flair Menswear Pty Ltd, also made good
progress and continues to grow this area of the business.



Our sunglasses and ophthalmic licensee, Mondottica Ltd, made strong progress and
continues to increase distribution both in the UK and overseas. Ted Baker
Skinwear, our licensed fragrance range, continued to perform well and we
launched Ted Baker Bodywear, a range of bodycare products in the second half of
the year. The performance of this new range has exceeded our expectations. Our
watch licensee performed well and was in line with our expectations. Our shoe
licensee had a tough year and performed below expectations although the Spring
Summer collection has been very well received and we are confident that 2006
should see a significant improvement.



In October 2005 we signed Ted Baker's first Asian territorial licence with the
Li & Fung Group of Companies. The Li & Fung Group operates three distinctive
businesses: export trading, retail and distribution, in 40 countries and employs
over 12,000 people worldwide. The licence covers retail distribution of the Ted
Baker brand and wholesale distribution of certain collections in Hong Kong,
Macau, China, Taiwan and South Korea. The agreement, which is subject to minimum
guaranteed royalties and minimum number of store openings runs to 31 December
2011, and may be renewed for a further five years subject to specific
performance criteria.



In December 2005 we signed a second Asian territorial licence and a Middle East
licence with RSH Limited, a company listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange,
which covers retail distribution of the Ted Baker brand in Singapore, Malaysia,
Thailand, Indonesia, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait and
Lebanon. RSH is a leading marketeer, distributor and retailer of sports and
fashion brands across Asia and the Middle East, operating 390 stores and 480
shop-in-shops in 11 countries. The agreements with RSH Limited are subject to
minimum guaranteed royalties and minimum number of store openings. The two
licences will run for six years to 31 December 2011 with a possible renewal for
a further 5 years subject to specific performance criteria.



Although the financial impact of these licences will not be material in the
short term, they are in line with Ted Baker's strategy to develop its presence
in overseas markets in conjunction with key territorial partners. They represent
significant progress in our ongoing strategy for the development of Ted Baker as
a global brand.

FINANCE DIRECTOR'S REPORT





The financial results reflect our continued focus on margin led growth and
strong cash management.  Our net margin before taxation increased to 15.6%
(2005: 15.4%) and opening cash and cash equivalents of #8.9m improved to closing
cash and cash equivalents of #10.1m.



Gross Margin

Retail gross margins were slightly below last year at 66.1% (2005: 66.8%) and
the wholesale gross margin was slightly down at 42.2% (2005: 42.6%), which
resulted in a decrease in the composite gross margin to 58.4% (2005: 59.0%).



Operating Expenses

Operating expenses rose by 9.8% to #54.3m (2005: #49.5m).  Distribution costs,
which include the costs of retail stores, outlets and concessions increased by
13.3% to #39.0m (2005: #34.4m), which was below the increase in average retail
selling space.  Administration expenses increased by 1.7% to #15.3m (2005:
#15.1m), reflecting tight cost management.



Finance Income and Expenses

The net interest charge during the year was below last year at #0.1m (2005:
#0.2m) reflecting continued generation of cash from operations.



Taxation

The tax charge for the year was #5.4m (2005: #4.9m), an effective tax rate of
29.6% (2005: 30.1%). The effective rate was lower, due mainly to adjustments in
respect of prior periods.



Shareholder Return

Basic earnings per share increased by 14.2% to 30.6p per share (2005: 26.8p per
share). Free cash flow per share increased 9.2% from 32.6p to 35.6p and the
proposed dividend per share increased by 12.0% from 10.8p to 12.1p. During the
year, we purchased 1,010,000 of our own shares at 410.0p per share, to be held
in treasury, which represented a timely use of our cash resources.



Cash Flow and Working Capital

Net cash generated from operations was #20.7m (2005: #18.5m) primarily
reflecting increased trading and continued tight cash management. Working
capital was tightly controlled and increased from #9.6m to #11.2m largely in
line with the growth of the business.  Stock levels increased by 3.3%, which was
below the increase in retail square footage during the year and the growth and
phasing of the wholesale business.



Capital expenditure was #5.1m (2005: #7.5m) and largely comprised investment in
new retail stores and our distribution facility.



Net cash outflow from financing was #9.1m (2005: net cash outflow #6.6m) and
reflected the purchase of treasury shares during the year (#4.2m) and the
purchase of shares by the Ted Baker Group Employee Benefit Trust (#0.4m).


Treasury and Risk Management

The principal risks to the Group arise from exchange rate and interest rate
fluctuations. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing these risks on
a regular basis. Where appropriate, the Group uses financial instruments to
mitigate these risks. All transactions in derivatives, principally forward
foreign exchange contracts, are taken solely to manage these risks. No
transactions of a speculative nature are entered into.



The most significant exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations relates to
purchases in foreign currencies. The Group's policy is to hedge substantially
all the risks of such currency fluctuations by using forward contracts taking
into account forecast foreign currency cash inflows. There has been no change
since the year-end to the major financial risks faced by the Group or the
Group's approach to the management of those risks.



International Financial Reporting Standards

For the year ended 28 January 2006, the Group was required to prepare its
financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU.



The adoption of IFRS represents an accounting change only and does not affect
the underlying business or cash flows. Details of the changes may be found on
our website, www.tedbaker.com. The most significant change has been in the
recognition of a fair value charge for share options, which has resulted in an
additional net charge of #0.5m for the full year.

Notes



1)       Basis of preparation



EU law (IAS Regulation EC 1606/2002) requires that the Group financial
statements of the Group, for the 52 weeks ended 28 January 2006, are prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) adopted for
use in the EU ("adopted IFRSs").



This financial information has been prepared on the basis of the recognition and
measurement requirements of adopted IFRSs as at 28 January 2006.



As allowed by IFRS 1 'First-time adoption of IFRS,' the Group adopted IAS 32 '
Financial instruments: disclosure and presentation' and IAS 39 'Financial
instruments: recognition and measurement', prospectively from 30 January 2005.
Therefore until 29 January 2005, the Group continued to hedge account for
forecast foreign transactions and commodity exposures in accordance with UK
GAAP, and hence the comparative financial statements exclude the impact of these
standards.



The financial information set out above does not constitute the Group's
statutory accounts for the 52 weeks ended 28 January 2006 or 29 January 2005.
Statutory accounts for 2005, which were prepared under UK GAAP, have been
delivered to the registrar of companies. The auditors have reported on those
accounts; their reports were i) unqualified and, ii) did not contain statements
under section 237 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985. The statutory accounts
for 2006, prepared under accounting standards adopted by the EU, will be
delivered in due course.



A full list of the UK GAAP accounting policies is provided in the Group's
financial statements for the year ended 29 January 2005. A reconciliation of
total equity and retained profit from UK GAAP to International Financial
Reporting Standards ("IFRS") for the comparative periods is available on the
Company's website, www.tedbaker.com, together with narrative describing the key
differences applicable to the Group.



2)       Segment information



The revenue and profit before taxation are attributable to the Group's principal
activities, the design and contracted manufacture of high quality fashion
clothing and related accessories for wholesale and retail customers.
