On December  17, 2004,  NCT Group,  Inc.  ("NCT")  issued  Carole  Salkind an 8%
convertible note in the principal amount of $400,000, for which Ms. Salkind paid
NCT $400,000 in cash. The note is secured by substantially  all of the assets of
NCT. The note matures on June 17, 2005.  The note bears interest at 8% per annum
until the due date of the note,  and bears  interest at a default rate of 13% on
any amount of  principal  or  interest  that is not paid when due.  Interest  is
payable  on June 17,  2005.  At the  election  of Ms.  Salkind,  the note may be
converted into 24,096,386  shares of NCT common stock at a conversion  price per
share of $0.0166 or exchanged  for shares of common stock of any  subsidiary  of
NCT (except Pro Tech  Communications,  Inc.) that makes a public offering of its
common  stock  (at the  public  offering  price).  The note  contains  events of
default,  any one of which (if not cured)  triggers a default  penalty of 10% of
the then outstanding  principal.  If triggered,  the default penalty, along with
the  outstanding  principal and accrued  interest,  becomes  immediately due and
payable.  Events of default  include the failure to pay  principal  and interest
when due and the  failure  to issue  shares of common  stock  upon  exercise  of
conversion rights.

In  conjunction  with this note  issuance,  NCT issued Ms.  Salkind a  five-year
warrant to acquire 6,750,000 shares of NCT common stock at an exercise price per
share of $0.0166.

The issuance of the note and warrant was not registered under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the exemption set forth in Section 4(2) of
the Securities Act relating to  transactions by an issuer not involving a public
offering.
