By Order of the Board of Directors, /s/ Douglas Leighton ---------------------------- Douglas Leighton Corporate Secretary September 10, 2004 NETWORK INSTALLATION CORP. 15235 Alton Parkway, Suite 200 Irvine, CA 92618 (949) 753-7551 --------------------- INFORMATION STATEMENT --------------------- GENERAL We are providing this Information Statement to you to inform you that we have adopted a resolution by written consent by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock. The resolution gives us the authority to take the following actions: (i) To amend our Articles of Incorporation to authorize the Board of Directors in its discretion, to effect by a resolution(s), a forward split(s) of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation, with the ratio to be selected and implemented by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion without changing the number of authorized shares of the Corporation. We have established August 20, 2004 as the Record Date. We are mailing this Information Statement on or about September 10, 2004 to our stockholders of record at the close of business on August 20, 2004. This Information Statement is being sent to you for information purposes only. WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY. Because the written consent of a majority of stockholders satisfies the applicable stockholder voting requirement of Nevada Law and our Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, we are not asking for a proxy and you are not requested to send one. STOCKHOLDERS ENTITLED TO VOTE Holders of our common stock at the close of business on August 31, 2004 were entitled to vote. On August 20, 2004 we had approximately 11,580,745 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held by such stockholder. RESULTS OF VOTE On the Record Date, holders of a majority of our outstanding common stock executed a written consent in favor of the action described above. The amendment was approved by a vote of 8,430,000 shares, or 73% of all shares entitled to vote. This consent satisfies the stockholder approval requirement for the proposed action. REASON FOR THE POTENTIAL FORWARD SPLIT We believe that a potential forward split will be in the best interests of our stockholders and will allow our stock to trade in a price range that will appeal to more investors. Additionally, we believe that a range of potential exchange ratios, rather than a single exchange ratio, provides the Board with the flexibility to achieve the desired results of the forward stock split. COST OF INFORMATION STATEMENT We have asked or will ask brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of our common stock held of record by such persons and will reimburse such persons for expenses incurred in forwarding such material. INTEREST OF PERSONS ON MATTERS TO BE ACTED ON No officer or director or principal stockholder has a substantial or material interest in the favorable action on these proposals. DISSENTER'S RIGHTS OF APPRAISAL Not Applicable. PROPOSAL TO AMEND OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO AUTHORIZE THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO EFFECT A FORWARD SPLIT OF OUR COMMON STOCK The amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, will authorize our Board of Directors in its discretion, to effect by a resolution(s), a forward split(s) of the outstanding shares of common stock with the ratio to be selected and implemented by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion without changing the number of our authorized shares and without having to submit such proposal to the shareholders. Accordingly, the Board of Directors has approved such an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation, a copy of which is attached to this Information Statement as Exhibit A. To affect the forward stock split, we would file an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State. The text of the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation is subject to modification to include such changes as may be required by the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada and as the Board of Directors deems necessary and advisable to affect the forward stock split, including the applicable ratio for the forward stock split. If the Board elects to implement the forward stock split, the number of issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock would be increased in accordance with the selected exchange ratio for the forward stock split. The par value and number of authorized shares of the Common Stock would remain unchanged. The forward stock split would become effective upon filing the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State. No further action on the part of stockholders would be required to either effect or abandon the forward stock split. The Board reserves the right to elect not to proceed and abandon the forward stock split if it determines, in its sole discretion, that this proposal is no longer in the best interests of our stockholders.
