                WideCom Group Moves Up Warrant Exercise Date


MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, Canada, June 3, 1996--The WideCom Group Inc. (NASDAQ; 
WIDEF, WIDWF) (BSE; WDE, WDEW) announced today it would accelerate the 
exercisability of certain outstanding  warrants (the "Bridge Warrants") from 
January 13, 1997 to June 13, 1996, giving the holder the discretion to 
exercise at any time between this date and January 13, 2001.

The Bridge Warrants, which were acquired by investors in the Company's 1995 
private placement, are exercisable upon payment of an exercise price of US 
$4.00 per share, during the period from June 13, 1996 to January 31, 2001. A 
total of 840,000 Bridge Warrants are outstanding.

Raja S. Tuli, WideCom's Chief Executive Officer, noted that "The advantage of 
accelerating the exercise date of the Bridge Warrants is to bring additional 
working capital to the Company."

The WideCom Group Inc. designs, manufactures and markets high-speed, high-
performance wide-format document management systems. The Company's product 
lines include its 36"-wide WIDEfax(TM) machines, engineering scanners and 
direct imaging plotters. WideCom distributes its products directly through its 
sales offices as well as distributors internationally.
