                                 INTERIM REPORT
                                      2004




STRATEGIC RETAIL Plc

_______________________________________________________________________





Chairman's Statement

The Company has followed its stated strategy of making opportunistic
acquisitions within the retail sector.


New stores have already been opened in Sheerness, Streatham, Camden Parkway,
Camden Archway and Brixton.  Store openings in Blair Gowrie and Inverurie are
scheduled for later in the year.


On 4th October 2004 the Company acquired Leveys Limited ("Leveys") through its
wholly owned subsidiary, Leveys (Fads) Limited.  Leveys is an eighteen-store
chain of retail outlets offering paint, wallcoverings and associated sundries.
This increases the total number of stores to 72.



Results for the 26 weeks ended 28th August 2004

The company made a profit before taxation for the period of #67,229 on turnover
of #7,049,766.  There was no equivalent period in the prior year.



Outlook

The addition of the Leveys chain, which has added 54,000 sq ft of retail space
in an area where Fads had no outlets, will lead to an increase in margins for
both chains.



The Company continues to actively pursue growth through opening new stores and
the acquisition of appropriate retail businesses.
