By analyzing non-linear I-V curves in normal and tilted magnetic fields we conclude that the edge energy spectrum is in a close connection with the bulk one. At the bulk phase transition spin-singlet - canted antiferromagnetic phase I-V curve becomes linear, indicating the disappearance or strong narrowing of the ν=1 incompressible strip at the edge of the sample.
