Welcome to CONCHA PLC (formerly Hot Tuna (International) PLC.

The stated aims of CONCHA PLC are to evaluate and invest in a broad range of
technology, media, well being and related industries.


Company History

Hot Tuna was born in Australia in the summer of 1969 to serve the demands of sojourning surfers, the product of a dedicated surfer�s passion fueled by the skill of his fashion designer wife. Spreading on the bodies and boards of watermen through coastal locales in the South Pacific, the brand quickly burgeoned globally, becoming an influential leader in the nascent surf industry and one of the progenitors of the neon era of surf in the '80s. Through the brand�s storied history, a long list of notables, in and out of the water, have waved the Hot Tuna banner at one time or another in their careers, including pro surfers such as Richie Lovett, Robbie Page, Beau Emerton and Drew Courtney.

In September 2005, Hot Tuna (International) PLC purchased the Hot Tuna brand from a consortium of investors and listed it on AIM, a division of the London Stock Exchange.

In the interest of managing its brand profile and distribution globally, the public Company began a rapid acquisition of its licensed interests around the world. Talented designers and key management with apparel business expertise from Quiksilver, O�Neill, Ocean Pacific, Rip Curl and Perry Ellis International, among others, were recruited to drive the process in the key markets of the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom. In July 2006, entrepreneur and fashion icon Elle Macpherson, who grew-up with the brand in Australia, was appointed as an executive director of Hot Tuna (International) PLC, her interests focused on design and distribution issues, as well as overall youth fashion and market insight. The Company's name change to Concha Plc (AIM Ticker: CHA) will become effective and the Company will begin trading under its new name from 8:00 a.m. on 7 February 2012.

Hi bullshare

Concha looks a very good punt at this level,i have been watching and researching
these for some time and last week i had contact with the company which was
rather positive.In summary they said they are doing very well in their main two
investments and are also confident of getting a good bonus out of CML.

I think concha are due to put their results out in mid december and they could
be rather good in my opinion.

Were you aware that Mr Nigel Wray and Mr Andrew Black both bought 100m shares
here at 0.35p ?

Jazz; Yes have held these for a few months. The problem is that there has been a series of bad news from the company the latest being a loan to Churchill Media a company controlled by Richard Thompson ( son of Thompson family who owned Hillsdown holdings). I understand he has personally offered other forms of guarantee against the loan which will need to be looked at by the company.

Not out of the woods yet but good Directors and as you say some heavyweight shareholders

Have kept these ex Hot Tuna dross for some time in the hope the loss would narrow. Looking at the performance to date it could be a long long wait.

Martini (ramper-in-chief) you are seriously in the money. No idea why the rise but I am sure you can make something up :-0)

Shush need to know stuff if I told you I would have to kill you :)

Martini: Will this be 100p by Xmas ?

Paying full offer 0.66p earlier 06574p was the norm, must be ready for the next move

Omg , now you two are in trouble ... window twankey is the kiss of death.

dil: must be time to fill yer boots. Crap company but up 17% today.

What is going on?

Most likley the company is waiting for the share price to reach a certain - good high point - where an Acquisition for shares can be arrange.
Looking forward to that, it would be no surprise if some are on the know and the "little bird" is doing its rounds

From the latest Results
"Concha's strategy remains to identify and invest in growth companies in the technology, media and communications sectors. The Board has identified a number of potential acquisition opportunities in these sectors, which it believes offer good opportunities to generate shareholder value. Whilst there can be no guarantee that one or more acquisition opportunities can be concluded successfully, the Board remains confident of creating shareholder value through Concha and looks forward to providing further updates in due course."

It could get very interesting if Christ Akers (1) manage to put together another Sports Internet Group type deal.

(1) - In 1999, he founded Sports Internet Group plc, which was admitted to AIM later that year and acquired by British Sky Broadcasting plc in 2000 for £300m

I would but it's that tw*t pantos' interest that worries me ... he's fecking useless :-)

mentor ... if memory serves me Ackers and Wray have also presided over some right royal disasters.

I'm sticking with my "new TAD" theory :-)

more money for the war chest £205,683......

Concha (AIM: CHA) announces that it has received notice of the exercise of, in aggregate, 66,910,139 warrants thereby generating gross cash proceeds of GBP205,683 for the Company. A breakdown of the warrants exercised is below:

A few buys since the RNS and share price moving higher to 0.66p with smaller spread again

Well done it went further up and closing at best of the day, no profit taking today

Amazed to see this going up, I thought the fashion police had closed down Hot Tuna... Who buys this stuff? It's not the intended market for sure.

On Edit, Sportsdirect are knocking out this crap at sale prices... Their wetsuits reduced from £149 to £45, I know if I had £149 to buy a wetsuit I'd go for a Mystic.

a new high 0.715p as buyers are cimbing on the Concha wagon
