1. Presentation of Interim Information

	In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements include all
	normal adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position at December 31, 2002, and
	the results of operations for the three months ended december 31, 2002 and 2001 and cash flows
	for the nine months ended December 31, 2002. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of
	of results for full year.

	The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by
	Form 10QSB and do not contain certain information included in Widecom's audited
	consolidated financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002.

2. Financial Statements

	owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances, transactions and stockholdings

5.   Convertible Debentures

	During 1999, the Company conducted a private placement of ten specific investment
	units, each comprising 10,000 common shares  and a three-year 12% convertible subor-
	dinated convertible subordinated note in the amount of $20,000.  Interest payments are
	payable quarterly and conversion is available at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.
	One-half of the principal amount of the note is exercisable during the 30 day period
	commencing 180 days from the initial closing on February 19, 1999.  The remaining principal


							 Page 7






5.   Convertible Debentures (cont'd)

	amount is convertible following 360 days after the initial closing.  During the fiscal year ended
	March 31, 2000, the Company issued the remaining one-half unit comprising of 5,000
	common shares ( see Note 10(b)(x)) and a three-year 12% convertible subordinated note
	in the amount of $10,000.

	The Company is presently in default on the interest payments on the 12% convertible
	debentures.  The consequences of this default has not been determined.

6.   Loans from Related Parties

	The loans from related parties are non-interest bearing, due on demand and were advanced
	to the Company in order to assist in certain working capital requirements.

7.   Bank indebtedness

(a)	The Company has an operating line of credit available for approximately $100,000 which
	bears interest at prime rate plus 0.75%, is due on demand, and is secured by a general
	security agreement over all Company assets except real property.

(b)	In February 2002, the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) served through its attorneys a notice
	upon the Company demanding immediate repayment of the outstanding debt. A few weeks
	later RBC accepted a settlement offer made by the Company's management. In April 2002,
	however, RBC reneged, and WideCom threatened legal action against RBC for breach of
	contract. In response, RBC agreed to consider WideCom revised offer (a) to make an
	initial payment of $20,000 CAN followed by a monthly payment of #5,000 CDN until the
	entire amount has been settled, and (b) a personal guarantee of $20,000 CDN by one of

	the executives of the Company. As of the date of the accountant's review report, the
	matter has remained unresolved, pending a firm response from RBC.

	In the event of a non-acceptance by RBC of the Company's revised offer, management may
	have to resort to legal action against the bank, the outcome whereof, at the present time
	(i.e. the date of the accountant's review report) is extremely hard to predict.

8. Contingent Liabilities


      (a)   In the prior years the Company had been served with a claim with respect to an alleged
	breach of contract regarding the Company's rights under two specific joint venture and
	development agreements to use and distribute various iterations of software components
	allegedly the sole property of the claimant. The action claimed damages for breach of
	contract along with copyright and trademark infringement. The claim sought a total of
	$15.85 million in damages and was in progress in the Province of Ontario. During the previous
	quarter to the quarter being reported on, the claim has been settled for $CDN 5,000 in
	cash and 100,000 shares in the Company. These shares have not yet been issued and
	are not reflected in these financial statements or in these accompanying notes elsewhere.

	Several other claims against the Company are in various stages of litigation.  In
	management's opinion, these claims are not material and accordingly no provision has
	been made in the consolidated financial statements.

	Loss, if any, on the above claims will be recorded when settlement is probable and the
	amount of the settlement is estimable.

           (b)  The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Indo WideCom International Ltd., in India, has
	not met export obligations for the fiscal year which may result in additional customs duty
	levied by the authorities in India.  As at year end, this amount was not determinable.

8.   Investment in Affiliate	        	December 31,
						2001	2002
 3294340 Canada Inc.				 Nil 	 Nil

	In October 1996, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement which resulted in
	the purchase of a 45% stake in 3294340 Canada Inc., a Quebec based company, for
	approx. $1,875,000.  The investee carries on research and development activities in order
	to develop improvements, modifications, additions or alteration to the intellectual
	property and to develop new products.  In connection with the transaction, the Company
	also entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement with Societe Innovatech du Grand
	Montreal (""Innovatech""), an economic development agency of the government of the
	Province of Quebec, pursuant to which Innovatech would be permitted, under certain
	circumstances, to exchange its 45% interest for up to 63,250* common shares of the
	Company.

	During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000,  Innovatech had made a request to convert 80% of
	its shares in 329430 Canada Inc. into the Company's common stock.

	During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001, the Company issued 50,600 shares to Innovatech.
	As a result of another transaction with M.S. Judge Systems, and with the other shareholders of
	329430 Canada Inc., the Company had no further stake in the affiliate.

	At the end of September 2001, the asset value of the Company's investment in its affiliate
	became nil, and the Company divested itself of its stake in 329430 Canada Inc.
