                              CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT


I am delighted to report another successful year for Ted Baker. Through our
proven multi-channel distribution strategy we carefully continue to expand our
business both in the UK and internationally.


Our retail and licence divisions have once again delivered an excellent
performance with retail sales increasing by 15.5% and licence income increasing
by 32.5%.


Wholesale sales rose by 7.5%, which was ahead of our expectations and we have
been pleased by growth in certain areas of our wholesale business. However,
market conditions still provide challenges for some of our wholesale customers
and we continue to monitor the profile of our wholesale customers to ensure it
remains appropriate for our brand.


I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the team at Ted Baker for
their hard work, passion and dedication during the year.


Results

Group revenue increased by 13.2% to �142.2m (2007: �125.6m) for the 52 weeks
ended 26 January 2008. Operating profit increased by 10.4% to �22.1m (2007:
�20.0m) and profit before tax increased by 10.0% to �22.1m (2007: �20.1m). Basic
earnings per share increased by 6.5% to 36.1p per share (2007: 33.9p per share).


Dividends

The Board is pleased to recommend a final dividend of 11.4p per share (2007:
10.3p per share) making a total for the year of 16.4p per share (2007: 14.6p per
share) an increase of 12.3% on the previous year.  This reflects our more
progressive dividend policy as previously announced. The final dividend will be
payable on 20 June 2008 to those shareholders on the register on 16 May 2008.


Share Buy-back

In line with market practice, the Company will seek to renew the 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, Founder and 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 and Outlook

The reaction to our Spring Summer 2008 collection has been encouraging with
total retail sales ahead by 16.1% for the first seven weeks, compared with the
same period last year.  Retail square footage was some 9.9% higher during this
period compared to last year.  This performance has benefited from three stores
which were closed for refurbishment last year being open for the seven week
period this year.


We plan to open seven stores this year and expect retail square footage to
increase by some 30,000 square feet in total by the end of the year.  New store
locations will include Heathrow Terminal 5, Cheapside in the City of London,
Belfast, Cambridge, Bristol and White City, London. We will also open a store in
South Molton Street, London featuring our Langley Court Womenswear collection.


Wholesale sales were 21.6% below the same period last year for the first seven
weeks, in part due to the phasing of deliveries.  We anticipate that conditions
will remain challenging for some of our wholesale customers and we will continue
to take action in respect of those customers who are no longer appropriate for
our brand. As a result, we expect wholesale sales for 2008 to be below the level
achieved for the period to 26 January 2008.


We have made a satisfactory start to the year and consider that the strength of
our brand and our robust business model mean we are well placed to navigate the
current uncertain economic outlook.


At this early stage, we look forward to another year of growth and development
of the Ted Baker brand.

                                BUSINESS REVIEW



OUR BUSINESS


Ted Baker is a leading designer brand that operates through three main
distribution channels: retail; wholesale; and licensing. We offer a wide range
of collections including: Menswear; Womenswear; Global; Phormal; Endurance;
Accessories; Lingerie and Underwear; Childrenswear; Fragrance and Skinwear;
Footwear; Eyewear and Watches.


The brand has grown steadily from its origins as a single shirt specialist store
in Glasgow to the global business it is today. We distribute through our own and
licensed retail outlets, leading department stores and selected independents in
Europe, the US and the Middle East and Asia.


Our strategy is to become a leading global designer brand, based on three main
elements:


*         considered expansion of the Ted Baker collections. We review our
collections continually to ensure we react to trends and meet our customers
expectations. In addition, we look for opportunities to extend the breadth of
collections and enhance our offer;

*         controlled distribution through three main channels: retail;
wholesale; and licensing. We consider each new opportunity to ensure it is right
for the brand and will deliver margin led growth; and

*         carefully managed development of overseas markets. We continue to
manage growth in existing territories while considering new territories for
expansion.


Underlying our strategy is an emphasis on design, product quality and attention
to detail, which is delivered by the passion, commitment and dedication of our
teams, licence partners and wholesale customers (trustees).



GLOBAL GROUP PERFORMANCE


Retail

The retail division performed very strongly during the year with sales growth up
15.5% to �103.0m (2007: �89.2m). Average retail square footage rose by 5.8% over
the period to 156,428 sq.ft. (2007: 147,861 sq.ft.). At 26 January 2008, total
retail square footage was 166,761 sq.ft. (2007: 152,937 sq.ft.), representing an
increase of 9.0%. As newer space and overseas stores continue to mature, retail
sales per square foot increased by 9.1% from �603 to �658.


Wholesale

Wholesale sales for the year were 7.5% ahead of last year at �39.2m (2007:
�36.5m), which exceeded our expectations.


Whilst we have seen a reduction in wholesale sales to some traditional customers
and the transfer of some wholesale accounts to retail concessions has continued,
other areas of our wholesale business have performed well. Conditions remain
difficult for some of our wholesale customers and we have continued to take
action in respect of those who are no longer appropriate for our brand.


The reduction was offset by the growth in products supplied to our licence
partners, albeit at lower margins.



Licence income

Ted Baker operates two types of licences: territorial licences covering North
America, the Middle East, Asia, Australia and New Zealand; and product licences
covering perfume & fragrance, watches, footwear, eyewear, childrenswear,
lingerie and branded mobile phones.


Licence income for the year was up 32.5% to �5.3m (2007: �4.0m) including a
first full year from the retail licence agreements signed in 2006 with RSH
Limited and Li and Fung Group of Companies.  Our other territorial licences have
continued to perform in line with our expectations.


Good performances were delivered across our product licences with our perfume
and fragrance license delivering particularly strong growth.


Product licence income for the period included a contribution from our
collaboration with The Carphone Warehouse Group to launch two Ted Baker branded
mobile phones and a contribution from our new licensed childrenswear collection
exclusive to Debenhams called Baker by Ted Baker, which complements our well
established premium Childrenswear collection and we have been particularly
pleased with progress to date.


We also signed a global watch licence (excluding the UK) with the Advanced Watch
Company Limited which trades as the Geneva Watch Group ("Geneva"). Geneva will
also acquire the rights to the UK on expiry of our existing licence with Zeon
Limited. Geneva is one of the largest designers, manufacturers and marketers of
watches in the world and we are delighted with their commitment to develop the
Ted Baker watch business globally. The licence, which runs for an initial term
of five years is subject to minimum guarantees and may be renewed for a further
five years subject to achieving certain sales targets.


We would like to thank the team at Zeon for their hard work and dedication in
establishing the Ted Baker watch brand in the UK.



Collections

Ted Baker Menswear enjoyed good growth in the period with sales up 11.1% to
�79.3m (2007: �71.4m). Menswear represented 55.8% of total sales (2007: 56.4%).


Ted Baker Womenswear enjoyed excellent growth in the period with sales up 16.8%
to �57.2m (2007: �48.9m). Womenswear represented 40.2% of total sales (2007:
39.6%) reflecting the growing strength of our Womenswear collections.


Sales of other collections, comprising Childrenswear and Footwear were up 7.4%
at �5.7m (2007: �5.3m) and these collections represented 4.0% of our total sales
(2007: 4.0%).



GEOGRAPHIC PERFORMANCE


United Kingdom and Europe

Our UK and Europe retail division delivered a strong performance for the year
with sales up 16.7% to �93.3m (2007: �80.0m).


Average square footage rose by 4.6% over the period to 131,085 sq ft (2007:
125,333 sq ft). At 26 January 2008, total retail square footage was 138,838 sq
ft (2007: 128,481 sq ft) representing an increase of 8.1%. Retail sales per
square foot increased from �638 to �712.


During the year we were delighted to announce the opening of a new store in
Dublin on Grafton Street which has traded ahead of our expectations. We also
opened stores in Brighton and Gatwick North and have been pleased by their
performance to date.


We were also delighted to announce the launch of our standalone store dedicated
purely to Womenswear in Langley Court, Covent Garden. As well as our Womenswear
collections, the store houses an exclusive range of new premium, limited edition
Womenswear products called the Langley Collection, as well as lingerie, footwear
and accessories, showcasing the breadth and depth of our growing Womenswear
collection. We have been pleased with the performance of the store and will
continue to assess opportunities to open further standalone Womenswear stores,
as and when appropriate.


At 26 January 2008 we operated 24 stores (2007: 21), 85 concessions (2007: 78)
and 10 outlet stores (2007: 8).


US

Our US retail division has delivered a strong performance for the period. Sales
increased by 13.8% to $19.5m against $17.1m last year which in sterling was
equivalent to sales up 5.6% to �9.7m (2007: �9.2m).


During the period we were delighted to announce the opening of a store in
Aventura Mall, Florida. We now have 8 stores across the United States and will
continue to review suitable opportunities to further our presence here, as and
when they arise.


Average square footage rose by 9.9% over the period to 24,764 sq ft (2007:
22,528 sq ft). At 26 January 2008, total retail square footage was 26,423 sq ft
(2007: 24,456 sq ft).  Retail sales per square foot increased from $760 to $787.


Hartmarx Corporation, our US wholesale licencee, continues to make progress in
developing our brand in North America.


Middle East , Asia and Australasia

We have continued with the careful expansion of the Ted Baker brand across the
Middle East and Asia through our territorial licence partners RSH Limited and Li
and Fung Group of Companies.  We work closely with them to ensure that the
visual merchandising of the stores and the training of the teams reflect the Ted
Baker ethos and culture.


During the period we opened a further 7 stores through these licence partners,
in Dubai, Malyasia (3), Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong and three concessions in
Taiwan (2) and Thailand. At the year end the total number of stores and
concessions in these territories was 17.


In October 2007 we were also pleased to announce the opening of our first store
in Melbourne Australia, through a joint venture with our licence partner in the
territory and we have been pleased with its performance to date.


FINANCIAL REVIEW


Gross Margin

Retail gross margins were in line with last year at 64.9% (2007: 65.0%). The
wholesale gross margin was down at 40.3% (2007: 42.9%), largely as a result of
increased sales to our licence partners in the Middle East and Asia at lower
than average margins.  The composite gross margin was 58.1% (2007: 58.6%) mainly
reflecting the reduction in the wholesale margin.


Operating Expenses

Operating expenses rose by 14.0% to �66.2m (2007: �58.0m).  Distribution costs,
which include the costs of retail stores, outlets and concessions increased by
16.7% to �48.3m (2007: �41.4m), which was above the 5.8% increase in average
retail selling space due to continued investment in our distribution centres,
store refurbishments, higher turnover rents due to performance and above average
increases in rates.  Administration expenses increased by 7.2% to �17.8m (2007:
�16.6m), reflecting the increased activity of our business and expansion in the
UK, Middle East and Asia.


Finance Income and Expenses

The net interest payable during the year of �0.2m, against net interest
receivable in the prior year (2007: �0.1m), reflected the effect of purchase of
own shares and increased capital expenditure on cash resources.


Taxation

The tax charge for the year was �6.8m (2007: �5.6m), an effective tax rate of
30.9% (2007: 28.1%). The effective rate was higher than last year as the 2007
rate reflected a deferred tax adjustment on the recognition of tax losses in
overseas subsidiaries. Excluding this, our underlying effective rate in 2007 was
30.9 %.


Cash Flow and Working Capital

We continued to focus on strong cash management and net cash generated from
operations was �19.5m (2007: �13.9m), which reflected a small increase in
working capital requirements and lower tax payable during the year.


Inventory levels increased by �1.5m or 5.4% which was below the growth of the
business during the year.


Capital expenditure was �8.8m (2007: �4.9m) and largely comprised investment in
new retail stores. Some �1.9m of capital expenditure related to stores that will
open in the early part of 2008.


Shareholder Return

Basic earnings per share increased by 6.5% to 36.1p per share (2007: 33.9p per
share), which is lower than the increase in profit before tax due to the effect
of a higher tax charge in 2008. Excluding the impact of these, basic earnings
per share would show an underlying increase of 10.7%.


The proposed final dividend per share has increased by 10.7% from 10.3p to
11.4p. Free cash flow per share, which is calculated using the net cash
generated from operating activities and interest received, increased by 39.3%
from 32.6p to 45.4p primarily reflecting the higher cash generated from
operating activities.

8)   Prior year restatements


Group statement of changes in equity


The following presentational changes have been made within the 2008 Group
statement of changes in equity, 2007 comparatives have been restated
accordingly.  Amounts previously shown as 'movements in respect of treasury
shares', 'movements in respect of own shares' and 'disposal of own shares' have
been reclassified under the following 3 lines:

*         Own shares acquired,

*         Transfer of treasury shares from Ted Baker PLC to the Employee Benefit
          Trust ("EBT") and;

*         Disposal of own shares


Section 162F of the Companies Act 1985 requires amounts received for treasury
shares that are in excess of the cost to be recognised as share premium.
Although the amounts received by the group on the sale of these shares in
satisfaction of share options exercised in the year ended 27 January 2007 were
less than the original cost of the treasury shares, the transfer of shares
between Ted Baker Plc and the Employee Benefit Trust was at an amount greater
than the original cost and therefore resulted in share premium arising.  An
amount of �1,024,000 has therefore been reclassified from retained earings to
share premium.


These reclassifications did not result in a change in shareholders funds at 27
January 2007.


Group balance sheet


The presentation of the Group balance sheet within the 2007/2008 financial
statements is consistent with the one presented in the 2006/2007 financial
statements except where noted below.  Prior year comparatives have been restated
accordingly:

*         An amount of �3,560,000 in respect of 'other taxes and social
security' has been reclassified from 'income tax payable' to 'trade and other
payables' for the year ended 27 January 2007 in accordance with IAS 1.

*         An amount of �1,024,000 has been reclassified from 'retained earnings'
to 'share premium account' for the year ended 27 January 2007 as explained
above.

These reclassifications did not result in a change to either net assets or
shareholders funds at 27 January 2007.

Group cash flow statement

The presentation of the Group cash flow statement within the 2007/2008 financial
statements is consistent with the one presented in th 2006/2007 financial
statements except where noted below.  Prior year comparatives have been restated
accordingly:

*         Amounts previously shown as 'proceeds from issue of ordinary shares' '
sale of own shares', 'shares vested and disposal of own shares' have been
reclassified as 'proceeds from option holders for exercise of options' and '
increase in inter-company balances' in accordance is IAS 7.

*         An amount of �750,000 previously separately presented as 'loan
repayment' in the movement of cash and cash equivalents between the year ended
28 January 2006 and 27 January 2007 has now been aggregated with the brought
forward balance as this amount was the opening balance of long term borrowings
at 27 January 2007 and was incorrectly netted off against cash and cash
equivalents.

The restatements above did not result in a change in the "net cash movement" for
the period as disclosed in the cash flow statement of 27 January 2007.
