Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(in United States dollars)

March 31, 2002 and 2003

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business         	The WideCom Group Inc. ("the Company") was incorporated
				under the laws of Ontario, Canada on June 15, 1990.  The
				Company designs, assembles and sells high speed, high
				performance document systems which transmit, receive, print,
				copy and/or archive wide format documents.

Basis of Financial Statements	The accompanying consolidated financial statements are stated
				in United States dollars, "the reporting currency". The transac-
				tions of the Company have been recorded during the year in
				Canadian dollars, "the functional currency".  The translation of
				Canadian dollars into United States dollars amounts have been
				made at the year end exchange rates for revenues, expenses,
				gains and losses.  Translation adjustments to reporting currency
				are included in equity as "cumulative other comprehensive
				loss" (see Note 10).

				The consolidated financial statements reflect retroactively a
				reverse stock split occurring during 1999 (see Note 9).

				These consolidated financial statements have been prepared
				by management in accordance with generally accepted
				accounting principles in the United States of America.

Principles of Consolidation	These consolidated financial statements include the accounts
				of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
				All significant inter-company transactions and  accounts have
				been eliminated.

Investment in Affiliate		The investment in affiliate is accounted for on the equity basis.

Accounting Estimates		The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with
				generally accepted accounting principles, requires manage-
				ment to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
				reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of
				contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
				statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
				during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from
				those estimated.

Inventory			Inventory is valued at the lower of cost, determined on a first -
                                in first-out basis, and market value.  Market value for raw
                                material is defined as the replacement cost and for finished
                                goods as the net realizable value.

Long-lived Assets		Management reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable
				intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in
				circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
                        may not be recoverable, and, if deemed impaired, measure-
                        ment and recording of an impairment loss is based on the fair
                        value of the asset.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(in United States dollars)

March 31, 2002 and 2003
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES cont'd

Capital Assets			Capital assets are recorded at cost.  Amortization is provided
                        annually at rates calculated to amortize the assets over their
				estimated useful lives as follows:
				Machinery, plant & computer equipment	30% declining balance
				Furniture and fixtures			20% declining balance
				Prototypes and jigs			20% declining balance

Earning or Loss Per Share	The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
				Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" during fiscal
				1998. As a result of this adoption, the Company has restated all
				periods presented in these financial statements to reflect
				"basic" and "diluted" earning (loss) per share.  Basic earnings
				(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by
				the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
				for the period.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed
				by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number
				of common shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents
				(if dilutive) related to stock options and warrants for each
				period.

Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments
				with original maturities of three months or less.

Revenue Recognition		Revenue from product sales is recognized once goods have been
				invoiced, delivered and paid for, whereafter title passes on
				to the customer who has no automatic right of returning the
				product.

Stock Based Compensation	SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation"
				encourages, but does not require, companies to record
				compensation costs for stock-based employee compensation
				plans at fair value.  The Company chose to continue to account
				for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method
				prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25.
				Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related
				interpretations.  Accordingly, compensation cost for stock
				options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market
				price of the Company's stock at the measurement date over the
				amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.  See Note
				10 (d) for a summary of the pro forma net loss per share
				determined as if the Company had applied SFAS No. 123.

Deferred Financing Charges	Deferred financing charges are amortized on a straight-line
				basis over three years.

Foreign Currency Translation	Balances of the Company denominated in foreign currencies
				and the accounts of the foreign subsidiary are translated into
				the functional currency as follows:

				(I) all assets & liabilities expect for capital at year end
                            rates;
				(ii)capital at historic rates;

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES cont'd

Foreign Currency Translation cont'd
            			(iii) revenue and expense transactions at the average rate of
                                    exchange prevailing during the year; and
				(iv)  changes in cash flows at the average rate of exchange
                              prevailing during the year.

				Exchange gains or losses arising on these translations are
				reflected in other comprehensive loss for the year.

Income Taxes			The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and
				liability method as required by SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for
				Income Taxes."  Under the asset and liability method, deferred
				income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of
				temporary differences by applying enacted tax rates applicable
				to future year differences between the financial statements
				carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and
				liabilities. When tax credits are available, they are recognized
				as reductions of the current year's tax expense.

Concentrations of Credit Risk 	The Company's receivables are unsecured and are generally
    and Business Concentration	due in 30 days.  Currently the Company's customers are
				primarily local, national and international users of wide format
				document management systems.  The Company's receivables
				do not represent significant concentrations of credit risk as at
				March 31, 2003 due to the wide variety of customers, markets
				and geographic areas to which the Company's products are
				sold.

Fair Value of Financial		The carrying amounts of financial instruments of the Company,
    Instruments			including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
				bank indebtedness, accounts payable, and convertible
				debentures approximate fair value because of their short
				maturity.  The fair value of advances to related parties cannot
				be readily determined because of the nature of their terms.

				The Company realizes a significant portion of its sales and
				purchases in a foreign currency.  Consequently some liabilities
				and expenses are exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations.

Research and Development	All research and development costs except for purchased
				research and development technology are expensed as
				research and development expenses.

13. Commitments and contingencies

        (a)  In the prior year the Company had been served with a claim, with respect to a
		 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 progressed in the Province of Ontario. Subsequent to
	the balance sheet date, the claim has been settled for CDN $ 5,000 in cash and 100,000
      shares in the Company. These shares are yet to be issued.

	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.

14.	Subsequent to the balance sheet date, on July 1, 2003, the Company was handed
	over a judgement by the Superior Court of the State of Rhode Island, USA. The
	judgement requires the Company to pay damages amounting to $ 593,414.50 to the plaitiff
	who dealt with certain individuals who he claimed were acting as the Company's
	apparent agents. The Company believes they acted in their individual capacities
	and it is currently in the process of preparing its case for requesting a retrial.
