shareholders dated 4 September 2006) were duly passed.



At the meeting held in London, Ranjit Murugason, Chairman of Hot Tuna, made the
following statement: "We are extremely pleased with the strong progress that the
Company has made over the summer months.  The enthusiasm that we have
experienced for the regeneration of the iconic Hot Tuna brand around the world
has been extremely encouraging.  In order to facilitate this regeneration,
whilst adhering to strict cost controls, we have managed to secure the services
of some of the most revered names in the surf industry and have also
successfully launched our Spring / Summer 2007 collection whilst attending the
largest industry trade shows in the US.



"In August and September we signed exclusive agreements with pro surfing stars
Bron Heussenstamm and Shea Lopez to become Hot Tuna ambassadors and endorse our
apparel and accessories to young surfers who aspire to be like these surfing
champions.  We are pleased to say that this process is already underway with
Bron attending the Hot Tuna Surf Championship at St. Ives in Cornwall in August,
a well attended event which was covered extensively in the global surfing media.



"It is important to understand that whilst the Hot Tuna brand is core retail, it
draws its inspiration fron international surf culture and global youth fashion
and therefore it is vital to secure the right ambassadors which is what we have
done.  Although there is still a lot of hard work to be done, the key
cornerstones of the business are firmly in place and we look forward to the
future with considerable optimism."

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
Frontier International (Holdings) Pty Ltd, 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, Australia and the UK. In its core markets, Hot Tuna sells
products, which are directly manufactured in facilities in North America, Europe
and in China.



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