Hot Tuna (International) Plc (AIM: HTT), a leading surf wear and fashion brand, 
presents its consolidated results for the half year ending 31 December 2008. 
 
 
In spite of an extremely challenging trading environment, Hot Tuna continues to 
perform strongly with sales increase of 39% in the six months to 31 December 
2008. The Group continues to reap the benefits of the earlier restructuring 
across all regions. This, coupled with a shift in sales strategy; positioning 
the Hot Tuna brand from smaller independent retailers to major national 
retailers around the globe, has, and should continue to see an upward trend in 
revenue. 
 
 
The increase in sales has been achieved by reducing our cost base and lowering 
our marketing costs in line with stockists' expectations as well as greater use 
of partnering.  The improvement in revenue and a focus on a rigorous cost 
cutting exercise has enabled the Group to reduce its operational loss by some 
59% to GBP679,000 against the corresponding period's operational loss of 
GBP1,653,000. 
 
 
All regions now have considerably lower overheads than at the same time last 
year which means that the Group is in a significantly stronger position to face 
the global economic downturn. 
 
 
In Australia, the economic downturn has not yet been as severe as in other parts 
of the world. With the brand considered a 'home brand' by the market, we 
anticipate that our Australian business will continue to see strong sales 
increases with the major stockists of Myer and David Jones with an expanded 
product range stocked. 
 
 
In Europe the relocation of some parts of the manufacturing for the European 
market to Turkey has enable us to capitalise on the benefits of a shorter route 
to market and lower transport and logistical costs. This will show through with 
greater prominence in the second half of the financial year. In the UK, 
Debenhams has increased the number of stores in which it stocks Hot Tuna from 5 
to 45. In Germany, the online retailer Sportscheck increased their orders from 
Spring/Summer 2008 to Spring/Summer 2009 by 305%. 
 
 
The USA continues to pose challenges however the brand has now broken into 
Delia's and Victoria's Secret, with repeat orders on specific designs from these 
stockists. This supports our ongoing strategy of pursuing larger accounts in the 
USA. Further tightening of logistics and other costs will be required to push 
this into operational profit. 
 
 
Niels Juul, Chief Executive commented: "We are pleased with these results in 
what has been a very difficult trading period across the globe. We cannot ignore 
the significant task ahead of us and future potential slowdown in retail sales 
across all our key markets.  The Board continues to monitor all aspects of the 
business and will work with suppliers to reduce manufacturing and development 
costs.  To support the current order book and growth potential of Hot Tuna, the 
Board is looking at various funding opportunities to provide the necessary 
working capital."

4. LOSS PER SHARE 
+--+---------------------------------+---------------------------------+-----------------+ 
|  | T  The calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per share is based on the      | 
|  | following data:                                                                     |

+--+-------------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------+ 
|  | Earnings for the purposes of basic earnings per share net loss    |      688        | 
|  | for the period attributable to equity holders of the parent       |                 | 
+--+-------------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------+ 
|  | Number of shares                |                                 |                 |

|  | Weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purposes of    |  110,177,103    | 
|  | basic earnings per share                                          |                 |

+--+-------------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------+ 
|  | The denominator for the purpose of calculating the basic earnings per share has     | 
|  | been adjusted to reflect all capital raisings. Due to the loss incurred in the      | 
|  | period, there is no dilutive effect resulting from the issue of share options,      | 
|  | warrants and shares to be issued.                                                   |
