                       WIDECOM ANNOUNCES COMPLETION OF 
                         WARRANT REDEMPTION PROGRAM 
 
 
      Mississauga, Ontario, Canada  --  The WideCom Group Inc. announced 
today that it had completed its warrant redemption program.   
 
      Pursuant to the redemption program, half of the Company's publicly-
traded warrants (Nasdaq: "WIDWF";  BSE: "WDEW") were tendered for exercise, 
resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $2.7 million.  
None of the Company's publicly-trade warrants were, therefore, redeemed.   
 
      As previously announced, the remaining half of the Company's publicly-
traded warrants continue to trade in the market and the exercise price of 
those warrants has reverted to $4.00 per share.

performance, wide-format document management systems.  WideCom's product 
lines include its 36" WIDEfax(R) facsimile machines, engineering scanners and
