                           Voting Rights and Capital



In conformity with the Transparency Directive's transitional provision 6, Serica
is required to notify the market of the following:



The Company's capital includes 150,537,955 ordinary shares of US$0.10 each with
voting rights.  None of these ordinary shares is held in Treasury.



Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 150,537,955.



The above figure of 150,537,955 ordinary shares may be used by shareholders as
the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are
required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, Serica
under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.



The above figure of 150,537,955 ordinary shares includes 7,989,376 ordinary
shares issued, as previously announced, during 2007.  Application has been made
to AIM for the admission to trading of the 7,989,376 of US$0.10 each in the
Company.  Of the 7,989,376 ordinary shares 7,949,376 ordinary shares were issued
pursuant to an exercise of warrants (August 2006 expiry) and 40,000 ordinary
shares were issued (January 2006) pursuant to exercises under the Company's
share option scheme. The ordinary shares issued rank equally with the existing
ordinary shares of the Company.
