For Immediate Release                                             12 August 2003



                  ScS Upholstery plc ('ScS' or 'the Company')

                                 Trading update


The board of ScS, the upholstery specialist, wishes to inform the market that
the record breaking hot weather over the last few weeks has had an inevitable
effect on trading. After 45 weeks of the current financial year, the overall
like-for-like sales order intake is down by 2%, however, the underlying
like-for-like sales order intake is up by 2%. The underlying like-for-like
figure excludes the effect of the buoyant first six weeks of new store openings,
of which there were 11 in the prior period.

With the trading period leading up to the traditionally busy August bank holiday
still ahead of us, the board believes that ScS will report another year of
record profits before tax, albeit slightly below the market's expectations for
the financial year ending 30 September 2003.

ScS continues to gain market share and remains on target to achieve its
short-term goal of 70 stores by the end of 2004.
