Aqua Bio Technology (ABT) has entered into a strategic partnership with DCP
Dermoscience of Canada. The cooperation includes worldwide distribution rights
for several DCP skincare products and joint development of new products.

DCP Dermoscience is a Quebec based cosmetics company developing and
manufacturing natural skincare products. The company has developed and
manufactured products for several renowned brands, such as L'Oreal, Johnson &
Johnson and Gillette. Like ABT, DCP focuses on skin care products of marine and
botanic origin.

The business development and distribution agreement enables two attractive
opportunities: ABT has attained distribution rights for a number of DCP skincare
products worldwide, excl. Canada. ABT has during the last two years developed a
distribution network for skincare products covering three continents. The core
of ABT's portfolio is the Moana skincare series, developed and manufactured in
New Zealand.

In addition to the distribution of DCP products, the two companies may jointly
develop new skincare products.

"While product development and manufacturing are DCP's core activities, ABT
represents industry and product expertise as well as a strong market network,
reaching markets with a total of 1.7 billion people. We are confident that our
partnership will prove highly beneficial to both companies," said DCP
Dermoscience's CEO Maude Saint-Pierre.

"The cooperation with DCP Dermoscience represents a significant boost for our
portfolio of natural skincare products, providing flexibility and enabling us to
meet an even greater variety of customer demands and preferences. The joint
expertise of the two companies will also be a powerhouse for developing new
products," said ABT's CEO Espen Kvale.
