ITEM 4. CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
On July 23, 2001, 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, Schwartz
Levitsky Feldman 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, 2000.
The replacement of Schwartz Levitsky Feldman llp was recommended and
approved by the Board of Directors of the Company and is not the result of any
disagreement with Schwartz Levitsky Feldman 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 Schwartz Levitsky
Feldman 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 Schwartz Levitsky Feldman llp regarding accounting
principles, or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedure nor any dispute between the Company and Schwartz Levitsky Feldman
llp with respect to the Company's status as a "going concern."
Effective July 23,2001, the Board of Directors of the Company determined
that it would be in the best interests of the Company to retain the services of
Zafer Husain Siddiqui, Chartered Accountant, to replace Schwartz Levitsky
Feldman 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, 2001.
The Company intends to have Zafer Husain Siddiqui, Chartered Accountant
continue to serve as the Company's accountant and auditors for the fiscal year
ending March 31, 2002.
During the last two fiscal years and subsequent periods, the Company did not
consult with Zafer Husain Siddiqui, Chartered Accountant regarding accounting
principles, or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedure or accounting principles applicable to any specific transaction.
