The Company has today received a notice from AMEX regarding this delinquent filing and that it is not in compliance with sections 134 and 1101 of the AMEX Company Guide. The liquidators have determined that a Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2007 will not be filed for the following reasons: the Company is in the process of liquidation and additional expenses should be minimized to allow for a larger distribution to shareholders and the Company�s major asset as of December 31, 2007 was the Trust Account and information with respect thereto has been given to shareholders. Shanghai Century Acquisition Corporation was formed for the purpose of acquiring an operating business. In April 2006 the Company raised US$115 million in its IPO of which approximately $110 million was deposited into the Trust Account. Since the Company�s proposed acquisition was not approved by its shareholders, the Company is required to liquidate and dissolve in accordance with its charter and applicable law.
