Notes to Editors:


Hot Tuna International PLC (AIM: HTT) owns the rights to the Hot Tuna brand, a
progenitor of global youth fashion, born in Australia with a heritage of
authentic surf culture.

Hot Tuna is one of the world's most iconic names in surf lifestyle and can trace
its roots back to 1969 when it was founded by a surfer and his fashion designer
wife. Though the label had not been actively marketed over for the last decade,
it retained an organic cult status among core action sports enthusiasts.

In June 2005, Hot Tuna International PLC purchased the 'Hot Tuna' brand from a
consortium of investors, listed on AIM in September 2005, and has since started
to aggressively market the brand and reinvigorate the business. The Company now
owns all intellectual property rights to its name and related iconography, and
has put in place key management drawn from the executive ranks of Quiksilver,
O'Neill and Ocean Pacific, among others.

Headquartered in the UK, Hot Tuna operates design, marketing and distribution
hubs in the USA and the UK, with exclusive licensed apparel and accessories
businesses in Australia and New Zealand. In its core markets, Hot Tuna sells
products, which are directly manufactured in facilities in the U.S.A. and in
China. In other non-core channels, the Company employs a license model wherein
Hot Tuna enters into contractual relationships alongside other parties with
complementary product offerings, solid financing and infrastructure, and  
superior market knowledge and relations.

Hot Tuna offices are maintained in Sydney, Los Angeles and London.
