ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON AUGUST 30, 2008

August 13, 2008

Dear Stockholders:

You are invited to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Network CN Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “our” or  “Network CN”), which will be held at the Company's offices at 21st Floor, Chinachem Century Tower, 178 Gloucester Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong, on Saturday, August 30, 2008, at 2:00 p.m.(Australian Western Standard Time, also known as Chinese Standard Time).

We discuss the matters to be acted upon at the meeting in more detail in the attached Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement. There are two specific items for which you are being asked to vote: (i) the election of a full slate of nine (9) directors to the Board of Directors of the Company; and (ii) ratification of appointment of the Company's independent registered public accounting firms for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2008. The Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the nine (9) individuals nominated and “FOR” ratification of the independent registered public accounting firms. Included with the Proxy Statement is a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report. We encourage you to read the Form 10-KSB and Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report. It includes our audited financial statements and information about our operations, markets, products and services.

You can vote by signing and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage prepaid envelope provided or via facsimile. Returning the proxy card by mail or by facsimile will ensure your representation at the meeting but does not deprive you of your right to attend the meeting and to vote your shares in person. The Proxy Statement explains more about how to vote by proxy. Please read it carefully.

You are entitled to attend the Annual Meeting only if you were a Network CN stockholder as of the close of business on July 2, 2008 or hold a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting. You should be prepared to present valid government-issued photo identification for admittance. In addition, if you are a stockholder of record, your ownership will be verified against the list of stockholders of record on the record date prior to being admitted to the meeting. If you are not a stockholder of record but hold shares through a broker or nominee (i.e. in street name), you should provide proof of beneficial ownership as of the record date, such as your most recent account statement prior to July 2, 2008, a copy of the voting instruction card provided by your broker, trustee or nominee, or other similar evidence of ownership. If you do not provide photo identification or comply with the other procedures outlined above upon request, you may not be admitted to the Annual Meeting. We hope that you can attend the Annual Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend, you can be sure that your shares are represented at the meeting by promptly voting by one of the methods provided. Any stockholder attending the Annual Meeting may vote in person, even if that stockholder has returned a proxy. Your vote is important, whether you own a few shares or many.

If you have questions concerning the Annual Meeting or your stock ownership, please call our Corporate Secretary, Daley Mok, at (852) 2833-2186. Thank you for your continued support of Network CN.
 
  Very truly yours,

Q:           Who is entitled to vote at the meeting?
 
A:
Stockholders Entitled to Vote.  Stockholders who our records show owned shares of Network CN as of the close of business on July 2, 2008 (the “Record Date”) may vote at the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, we had a total of 71,546,608 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, which were held of record by approximately 160 stockholders. The stock transfer books will not be closed between the Record Date and the date of the meeting. As of the Record Date, we had no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding. Each share of Network CN Common Stock is entitled to one vote.
   
 
Registered Stockholders.  If your shares are registered directly in your name with Network CN’s transfer agent, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record, and these proxy materials are being sent to you by Network CN. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the individuals listed on the proxy card or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting.
   
 
Street Name Stockholders. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name. These proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker or nominee, who is considered, with respect to those shares, the record holder. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or nominee how to vote, and you are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the record holder, you may not vote these shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you follow your broker’s procedures for obtaining a legal proxy. Your broker or nominee has enclosed a voting instruction card for you to use.
 
Q:           Can I attend the meeting in person?
 
A:
You are entitled to attend the Annual Meeting only if you were a Network CN Inc. stockholder as of the close of business on July 2, 2008 or hold a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting. You should be prepared to present valid government-issued photo identification for admittance. In addition, if you are a stockholder of record, your ownership will be verified against the list of stockholders of record on the Record Date prior to being admitted to the meeting. If you are not a stockholder of record but hold shares through a broker or nominee (i.e., in street name), you should provide proof of beneficial ownership as of the Record Date, such as your most recent account statement prior to July 2, 2008, a copy of the voting instruction card provided by your broker, trustee or nominee, or other similar evidence of ownership. If you do not provide photo identification or comply with the other procedures outlined above upon request, you may not be admitted to the Annual Meeting.
 
Q:           How can I vote my shares?
 
A:           
Registered Stockholders:  Registered stockholders may vote in person at the Annual Meeting or by one of the following methods:
   
· 
    By Mail.  Complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card and return it in the prepaid envelope provided; or
 
      By Fax. Complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card and fax to Holladay Stock Transfer at 480-481-3941.
   
 
Please note that voting facilities for registered stockholders will close at 12:00 p.m. Pacific Time on August 29, 2008.
   
 
Street Name Stockholders: If your shares are held by a broker, bank or other nominee, you must follow the instructions on the form you receive from your broker, bank or other nominee in order for your shares to be voted. Please follow their instructions carefully. Also, please note that if the holder of record of your shares is a broker, bank or other nominee and you wish to vote at the Annual Meeting, you must request a legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares and present that proxy and proof of identification at the Annual Meeting to vote your shares.
   
 
Based on the instructions provided by the broker, bank or other holder of record of their shares, street name stockholders may generally vote by one of the following methods:
   
   
By Mail.  You may vote by signing, dating and returning your voting instruction card in the enclosed pre-addressed envelope; or
   
By Methods Listed on Voting Instruction Card.  Please refer to your voting instruction card or other  information forwarded by your broker, bank or other holder of record to determine whether you may vote by mail or fax, and follow the instructions on the voting instruction card or other information provided by the record holder; or

2

 
               
In Person With a Proxy from the Record Holder.  A street name stockholder who wishes to vote at the Annual Meeting will need to obtain a legal proxy from his or her bank or brokerage firm. Please consult the voting instruction card sent to you by your bank or broker to determine how to obtain a legal proxy in order to vote in person at the Annual Meeting.
 
Q:           If I sign a proxy, how will it be voted?
 
A:
When proxies are properly dated, executed and returned, the shares represented by such proxies will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the stockholder. However, if no specific instructions are given, the shares will be voted in accordance with the above recommendations of our Board of Directors. If any matters not described in the Proxy Statement are properly presented at the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders will use their own judgment to determine how to vote your shares. If the Annual Meeting is adjourned, the proxy holders can vote your shares on the new meeting date as well, unless you have revoked your proxy instructions, as described below under “Can I change my vote?”

Q:           What should I do if I get more than one proxy or voting instruction card?
 
A:
Stockholders may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of these proxy materials and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, stockholders who hold shares in more than one brokerage account may receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which shares are held. Stockholders of record whose shares are registered in more than one name will receive more than one proxy card. You should sign and return all proxies and voting instruction cards you receive relating to our Annual Meeting to ensure that all of your shares are voted.
 
Q:           Can I change my vote?
 
A:
You may change your vote at any time prior to the vote at the Annual Meeting. To revoke your proxy instructions and change your vote if you are a holder of record, you must (i) attend the Annual Meeting and vote your shares in person, (ii) advise Daley Mok, the Company’s Corporate Secretary, at our principal executive office in writing before the proxy holders vote your shares, or (iii) deliver later dated and signed proxy instructions.
 
Q:
What happens if I decide to attend the Annual Meeting but I have already voted or submitted a proxy covering my shares?
 
A:
You may attend the meeting and vote in person even if you have already voted or submitted a proxy. Please be aware that attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy. If a bank, broker or other nominee holds your shares and you wish to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person, you must obtain a “legal proxy” from the record holder of the shares giving you the right to vote the shares.
 
Q:           How are votes counted?
 
A:
The Annual Meeting will be held if a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote is represented in person or by proxy at the meeting. If you have returned valid proxy instructions or attend the Annual Meeting in person, your Common Stock will be counted for the purpose of determining whether there is a quorum, even if you wish to abstain from voting on some or all matters at the meeting.
   
 
Shares that are voted “WITHHELD” or “ABSTAIN” are treated as being present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum and as entitled to vote on a particular subject matter at the Annual Meeting. If you hold shares of Network CN common stock in street name through a bank, broker or other nominee holder, the nominee holder may only vote your shares in accordance with your instructions. If you do not give specific instructions to your nominee holder as to how you want your shares voted, your nominee will indicate that it does not have authority to vote on the proposal, which will result in what is called a “broker non-vote”. All shares of Network CN common stock represented at the Annual Meeting, including broker non-votes and abstentions, will be counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

Q:           Who will tabulate the votes?
 
A:           Network CN will designate Benedict Fung as the Inspector of Election who will tabulate the votes.
 
3

 
Q:           Who is making this solicitation?
 
A:           This proxy is being solicited on behalf of Network CN’s Board of Directors.

Q:           Who pays for the proxy solicitation process?
 
A:
Network CN will pay the cost of preparing, assembling, printing, mailing and distributing these proxy materials and soliciting votes. We do not plan to retain a solicitor to assist with the solicitation. We may, on request, reimburse brokerage firms and other nominees for their expenses in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners. In addition to soliciting proxies by mail, we expect that our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies in person or by facsimile. None of these individuals will receive any additional or special compensation for doing this, although we will reimburse these individuals for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

Q:
May I propose actions for consideration at next year’s annual meeting of stockholders or nominate individuals to serve as directors?
 
A:
You may present proposals for action at a future meeting only if you comply with the requirements of the proxy rules established by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and our bylaws. In order for a stockholder proposal to be included in our Proxy Statement and form of Proxy relating to the meeting for our 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders under rules set forth in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Securities Exchange Act”), the proposal must be received by us no later than 5:00 p.m. (Chinese Standard Time) no later than the 90th day, and not earlier than the 120th day, prior to the first anniversary of the mailing of the notice for the preceding year’s annual meeting. Accordingly, stockholder proposals intended to be presented in our proxy materials for the 2009 Annual Meeting must be received by Daley Mok, Corporate Secretary, on or after Thursday, April 16, 2009, and prior to 5:00 p.m. (Chinese Standard Time) on Saturday, May 16, 2009 and must satisfy the requirements of the proxy rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our bylaws require that certain information and acknowledgments with respect to the proposal and the stockholder making the proposal be set forth in the notice. A copy of the relevant bylaw provision is available upon written request to Network CN Inc. at Corporate Secretary at 21st Floor, Chinachem Century Tower, 178 Gloucester Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong. You can also access our SEC filings, including our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, on our website at www.ncnincorporated.com. The information on our website is not a part of this Proxy Statement.

Q:           How do I obtain a separate set of proxy materials or request a single set for my household?
 
A:
If you share an address with another stockholder, have the same last name, and do not participate in electronic delivery of proxy materials, you will receive only one set of proxy materials (including our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, Amendment No.1 to the Annual Report and Proxy Statement). If you wish to receive a separate Proxy Statement at this time, please request the additional copy by contacting our transfer agent, Holladay Stock Transfer by telephone at 480-481-3940, or by facsimile at 480-481-3941.
   
 
You may also request to receive a separate Annual Report and a separate Proxy Statement by email at info@ncnincorporated.com or by writing to: Network CN, Inc, 21st Floor, Chinachem Century Tower, 178 Gloucester Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong.
 
Q:           What if I have questions about lost stock certificates or need to change my mailing address?
 
A:
You may contact our transfer agent, Holladay Stock Transfer, by telephone at 480-481-3940, or by facsimile at 480-481-3941, if you have lost your stock certificate or need to change your mailing address.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee oversees our accounting, financial reporting and audit processes; appoints, determines the compensation of, and oversees, the independent auditors; pre-approves audit and non-audit services provided by the independent auditors; reviews the results and scope of audit and other services provided by the independent auditors; reviews the accounting principles and practices and procedures used in preparing our financial statements; and reviews our internal controls.

The Audit Committee works closely with management and our independent auditors. The Audit Committee also meets with our independent auditors without members of management present, on a quarterly basis, following completion of our auditors’ quarterly reviews and annual audit and prior to our earnings announcements, to review the results of their work. The Audit Committee also meets with our independent auditors to approve the annual scope and fees for the audit services to be performed.

During fiscal 2007, Audit Committee did not meet on its own until fiscal 2008; however, the Audit Committee did meet in executive session as part of meetings of the Board. Each of the Audit Committee members is an independent director within the meaning set forth in the rules of the American Stock Exchange, as currently in effect. In addition, the Board of Directors has determined that each of Messrs. Jakob, Lu and Mak is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by SEC rules. Mr. Mak and Mr. Lu are qualified accountants with many years of finance and audit experience, while Mr. Jakob is the chairman of a company specializing in asset management and securities trading, where one of his responsibilities is to oversee the company’s finance function.

Audit Committee Report

THE FOLLOWING REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE SOLICITING MATERIAL AND SHOULD NOT BE DEEMED FILED OR INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE INTO ANY OTHER FILING UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT NETWORK CN INC. SPECIFICALLY INCORPORATES THIS REPORT BY REFERENCE THEREIN.

The Audit Committee oversees the financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed the audited financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB (including Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the unaudited financial statements included with Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Commission.

The Audit Committee discussed with management and the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statements on Accounting Standards (SAS) No. 61. These discussions included the clarity of the disclosures made therein, the underlying estimates and assumptions used in the financial reporting, and the reasonableness of the significant judgments and management decisions made in developing the financial statements. In addition, the Audit Committee has discussed with the independent auditors their independence from the Company and has received the written letter from the independent auditors required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1.
 
7

 
The Audit Committee also discussed with the independent auditors’ issues related to the overall scope and objectives of the audit, the Company’s internal controls and critical accounting policies, and the specific results of the audit. Management was present at part of some of these meetings.

Pursuant to the reviews and discussions described above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Management is responsible for the Company’s financial reporting process, including its system of internal controls, and for the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s independent auditors are responsible for auditing those financial statements. The Audit Committee's responsibility is to monitor and review these processes. It is neither the Committee’s duty nor responsibility to conduct auditing or accounting reviews or procedures. Members of the Audit Committee are not employees of the Company and may not be, and do not represent themselves to be or to serve as, accountants or auditors by profession or experts in the fields of accounting or auditing. Therefore, members have relied, without independent verification, on management’s representation that the financial statements have been prepared with integrity and objectivity and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and on the representations of the independent auditors included in their report on the Company’s financial statements. The Audit Committee’s oversight does not provide it with an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles or policies, or appropriate internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, consultations and discussions with management and the independent auditors do not assure that the Company’s financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, that the audit of the Company’s financial statements has been carried out in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards or that the Company’s independent accountants are in fact “independent”.

Remuneration Committee

The Remuneration Committee (i) oversees and makes general recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding our compensation and benefits policies; (ii) oversees, evaluates and approves cash and stock compensation plans, policies and programs for our executive officers; and (iii) oversees and sets compensation for the Board of Directors.

During 2007, the Remuneration Committee held one (1) meeting. Each current member of the Remuneration Committee is an independent director within the meaning set forth in the rules of the American Stock Exchange, as currently in effect.

Remuneration Committee Interlocking and Insider Participation

No person who served on the Remuneration Committee in fiscal 2007 was during the year or previously an officer or employee of the Company or has a relationship with the Company requiring disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K. Further, no interlocking relationship exists between any member of the Board of Directors and any member of any other company’s board of directors and compensation committee.

Nominating Committee

The Nominating Committee (i) considers and periodically reports on matters relating to the identification, selection and qualification of the Board of Directors and candidates nominated to the Board of Directors and its committees; (ii) develops and recommends governance principles applicable to the Company; and (iii) oversees the evaluation of the Board of Directors and management from a corporate governance perspective.

Although our bylaws do not contain provisions which specifically address the process by which a stockholder may nominate an individual to stand for election to the Board of Directors at our annual meeting of stockholders, the Nominating Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders. In evaluating candidates submitted by stockholders, the Nominating Committee will consider (in addition to the criteria applicable to all director candidates described below) the needs of the Board and the qualifications of the candidate, and may also take into consideration the number of shares held by the recommending stockholder and the length of time that such shares have been held.
 
8

 
The Nominating Committee does not have any formal criteria for director nominees; however, it believes that director nominees should have certain minimum qualifications, including the highest personal and professional integrity and values, an inquiring and independent mind, practical wisdom and mature judgment. In evaluating director nominees, the Nominating Committee also considers an individual’s skills, character, leadership experience, business experience and acumen, familiarity with relevant industry issues, national and international experience, and other relevant criteria that may contribute to our success. This evaluation is performed in light of the skill set and other characteristics that would most complement those of the current directors, including the diversity, maturity, skills and experience of the board as a whole, with the objective of recommending a group of persons that can best implement our business plan, develop our business and represent shareholder interests.

During 2007, the Nominating Committee held one (1) meeting. Each member of the Nominating Committee is an independent director within the meaning set forth in the rules of the American Stock Exchange, as currently in effect.

Communications with the Board of Directors

Although we do not have a formal policy regarding communications with the Board of Directors, stockholders may communicate with the Board of Directors by submitting an email to info@ncnincorporated.com or by writing to us at Network CN Inc., Attention: Investor Relations, 21/F., Chinachem Century Tower, 178 Gloucester Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong.

A Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is a written standard designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote (a) honest and ethical conduct, (b) full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in regulatory filings and public statements, (c) compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, (d) prompt reporting violation of the code and (e) accountability for adherence to the Code.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview

Our Board of Directors determines executive compensation. The Company’s executive compensation program is generally designed to align the interests of executives with the interests of shareholders and to reward executives for achieving the Company’s objectives. The executive compensation program is also designed to attract and retain the services of qualified executives.

In determining executive compensation, our Board considers the recommendations of its Remuneration Committee which bases its recommendations on input from the Chief Executive Officer, the officers’ current compensation, changes in cost of living, our financial condition, our operating results and individual performance.

Executive compensation generally consists of base salary, bonuses and long-term incentive equity compensation such as stock grants or additional options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock as well as various health and welfare benefits. The Board has determined that both the base salary and long-term incentive equity compensation should be the principal component of executive compensation. The Board has not adopted a formal bonus plan, and all bonuses are discretionary.

Compensation Components

The executive compensation for (i) the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and (ii) the Company’s other two most highly compensated executive officers who were serving as executive officers (collectively “Named Executive Officers”) for fiscal 2007 primarily consisted of base salary, long term incentive equity compensation, income tax reimbursement, and other compensation and benefit programs generally available to other employees .

Base Salary. The Board establishes base salaries for the Company’s Named Executive Officers based on the scope of their responsibilities, taking into account competitive market compensation paid by other companies in the Company’s peer group for similar positions. Generally, the Board believes that executive base salaries should be targeted near the median of the range of salaries for executives in similar positions and with similar responsibilities at comparable companies in line with our compensation philosophy.
 
12

 
Base salaries are reviewed annually, and may be adjusted to realign salaries with market levels after taking into account individual responsibilities, performance and experience. The monthly base salaries for three Named Executive Officers, Mr. Godfrey Hui, our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Daniel So, our Managing Director and Mr. Daley Mok, our Chief Financial Officer were increased from HK$70,000 ($8,974), HK$50,000 ($6,410) and HK$50,000($6,410) to HK$120,000 ($15,384), HK$80,000($10,256) and HK$70,000($8,974) respectively during fiscal 2007 to be generally competitive at the median salary ranges observed at comparable companies.

Bonuses. Bonuses are intended to compensate the three Named Executive Officers for achieving the Company’s financial performance and other objectives established by the Board each year. The Board currently does not adopt a formal bonus plan and all bonuses are discretionary. No bonus was paid to the three Named Executive Officers in fiscal 2007.

Long-Term Incentive Equity Compensation. The Board believes that stock-based awards promote the long-term growth and profitability of the Company by providing executive officers with incentives to improve shareholder value and contribute to the success of the Company and by enabling the Company to attract, retain and reward the best available persons for executive officer positions. The Named Executive Officers were eligible to receive certain number of shares of common stock of the Company. The Board adopted a New Equity Compensation Plan in July 2007, pursuant to which each Named Executive Officer was granted shares of the Company’s common stock subject to annual vesting over five years in the following amounts: Mr. Godfrey Hui, 2,000,000 shares; Mr. Daniel So, 2,000,000 shares and Mr. Daley Mok 1,500,000 shares. Prior to July 2007, each Named Executive Officer was eligible to receive the shares of the Company’s common stock following each of their first two full years of employment in the following amounts: Mr. Godfrey Hui, 150,000 shares; Mr. Daniel So, 200,000 shares and Mr. Daley Mok 50,000 shares. The Company cannot currently determine the number or type of additional awards that may be granted to eligible participants under the long-term incentive equity compensation plan in the future. Such determination will be made from time to time by the Remuneration Committee (or Board).

Income Tax Reimbursement. Each Named Executive Officer was fully reimbursed by the Company for his Hong Kong personal income taxes resulting from his employment under the employment agreement dated July 23, 2007, except Mr. Godfrey Hui whose Hong Kong personal income taxes during the whole fiscal 2007 would be fully reimbursed by the Company.

Change-In-Control and Termination Arrangements. The employment agreements with each of the Named Executive Officers may be terminated with three-month advanced notice or for cause or disability. In the event employment is terminated other than for cause, disability, or in the event of their resignation for good reason, each Named Executive officer is entitled to severance payments consisting of his then base salary for 48 months provided there has been no change in control of either NCN Group or the Company, or for 60 months if there has been a change in control of either NCN Group or the Company in the preceding one year; In addition, each Named Executive officer shall be entitled to accelerated vesting of all stock grants, as of the date of such termination other than for cause, remain unexercised and unvested, to the extent permissible by law. In the event employment is terminated for disability, each Named Executive officer shall be potentially eligible for disability benefits under any Company-provided disability plan in which he then participate, and shall be entitled to accelerated vesting of all stock grants, as of the date of such disability, remain unexercised and unvested, to the extent permissible by law. In addition, there are restrictive covenants on other employment after termination for a period of six months without the approval of NCN Group’s Board of Directors, non-solicitation of customer, suppliers or employees of NCN Group Management Limited, and confidentiality.

Report of Remuneration Committee

THE FOLLOWING REPORT OF THE REMUNERATION COMMITTEE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE SOLICITING MATERIAL AND SHOULD NOT BE DEEMED FILED OR INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE INTO ANY OTHER FILING UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT NETWORK CN INC.

The persons named in the form of proxy solicited by the Board will vote all proxies which have been properly executed, and if any matters not set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting are properly brought before the meeting, such persons will vote thereon in accordance with their best judgment.

HOUSEHOLDING

We have adopted a procedure approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission called “householding.” Under this procedure, a house holding notice will be sent to stockholders who have the same address and last name and do not participate in electronic delivery of proxy materials, and they will receive only one copy of our annual report and Proxy Statement unless one or more of these stockholders notifies us that they wish to continue receiving individual copies. This procedure reduces our printing costs and postage fees. Each stockholder who participates in householding will continue to receive a separate proxy card.

If any stockholders in your household wish to receive a separate annual report and a separate Proxy Statement, they may call our Corporate Secretary, Daley Mok, at (852) 2833-2186 or write to Network CN Inc., 21st Floor, Chinachem Century Tower, 178 Gloucester Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong.
