                          INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT 
 
 
JD Sports Fashion Plc (the "Group"), the leading retailer of sport inspired and 
fashion footwear and apparel, today releases the following Interim Management 
Statement. 
 
On 21 September 2010, the Group announced a positive like for like sales 
performance for the UK and Ireland retail fascias for the 4 weeks to 28 August 
2010 of 2.7% (cumulative year to date 2.8%).   We are pleased to report that 
cumulative year to date sales to 13 November 2010 have marginally increased and 
cumulative gross profit margins have been maintained. 
 
As stated on 21 September 2010 the result for the full year remains very 
dependent on the sales and margin performance in December and January, and we 
are inevitably cautious about maintaining such positive like for like sales 
performance during the Christmas period against a backdrop of successive uplifts 
in previous years. 
 
The Group will issue its post Christmas trading update in the first half of 
January 2011.
