As outlined in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 17, 2006, NCT Group, Inc. (the "Company" or "NCT") is in the process of restating its previously issued audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2004 and NCT's previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Form 10-Q/A as of and for the three months ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2005. This effort has required the Company to devote a significant amount of resources to completing the restatement of prior financial statements, and, as a result, the Company has not yet been able to complete its interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The Company is currently in the process of completing such financial statements and will file its amended Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q/A for the quarters ended March 31, 2005, June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005 and its amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A2 for the year ended December 31, 2004 as soon as they are completed, which the Company anticipates will be in the near future. Once these amended reports are filed, the Company will file its Quarterly Report for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 as soon thereafter as practicable.
