ITEM 4. CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
On June 15, 1999, the Board of Directors of The Widecom Group, Inc.
(the "Company") determined that it would be in the best interests of the
Company to cease the relationship with its independent accountant and
auditors, BDO Dunwoody, LLP, which acted as its independent accountant and
auditors with respect to the Company's financial statements for the
previous two fiscal years ended March 31, 1998.
The replacement of BDO Dunwoody, LLP was recommended and approved by
the Board of Directors of the Company and is not the result of any
disagreement with BDO Dunwoody, LLP on any matter of accounting principles
or practice, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.
During the last two fiscal years no report issued by BDO Dunwoody,
LLP contained any adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, or was
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting
principles. In addition, during the last two fiscal years and subsequent
periods, there were no disagreements with BDO Dunwoody, LLP regarding
accounting principles, or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
auditing scope or procedure nor any dispute between the Company and BDO
Dunwoody, LLP with respect to the Company's status as a "going concern."
Effective June 15, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company
determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company to retain
the services of Schwartz, Lewitski, Feldman, LLP to replace BDO Dunwoody,
LLP as its independent accountant and auditors. The firm will be auditing
the Company's financial statements to be included in the Company's Form 10K
for its fiscal year ended March 31, 1999 due to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on or about June 29, 1999.
The Company intends to have Schwartz, Lewitski, Feldman, LLP continue
to serve as the Company's accountant and auditors for the fiscal year
ending March 31, 2000.
During the last two fiscal years and subsequent periods, the Company
did not consult with Schwartz, Lewitski, Feldman, LLP regarding accounting
principles, or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope
or procedure or accounting principles applicable to any specific
transaction.
