                         PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION


Item 1.  Financial Statements.
         ---------------------

         The financial statements attached to the end of this quarterly report
are filed as part of this quarterly report. The financial statements include all
adjustments which in the opinion of management are necessary in order to make
the financial statements not misleading.

Item 2.  Management's Discussions and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
         -----------------------------------------------------------

         The following selected financial information set forth below has been
derived from the unaudited financial statements of the Company. This discussion
and analysis should be read in conjunction with such financial statements. All
amounts are in US dollars.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

For the three months ended September 30, 1996 compared to the three months ended
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
September 30, 1995
- ------------------

         Sales for the three months ended September 30, 1996 were $1,521,000
compared to $1,547,000 for the corresponding period of the prior year. ACD unit
volume for the current period increased by approximately 15% over the same
period last year. Revenues from ACD software training, installation and
maintenance increased by approximately 42% over the prior year quarter and sales
of the Tele-Series call accounting product increased by 24% over the same
period. Sales of the Company's retail product, OCTus PTA, were negatively
impacted due to higher than expected returns of inventory overstock by one of
its distributors. Cintech is currently repositioning this product to generate
higher unit sales.

         Gross Margin as a percentage of sales, increased to 67% compared to 56%
for the comparable prior year period. This increase in Gross Margin is
attributable to the Company's strategy of concentrating on higher margin ACD
software unit sales while de-emphasizing distribution of the lower margin
PC-hardware products. This change in strategy, combined with sales of high
margin, non-ACD products such as Tele-Series, Dial-by-Name, maintenance,
installation, etc., allowed the Company to generate Gross Profit of $1,026,000,
an increase of $153,000 or 18% compared to the same period of last year.

         The first quarter represents the first full quarter whereby Cintech's
ACD products were promoted and sold under the joint marketing agreement entered
into with Nortel in March 1996. Under this partnership arrangement, Cintech's
PRELUDE and CINPHONY ACD are listed in the Nortel catalog and are sold by Nortel
through Authorized Norstar Distributors. Cintech receives revenue on software
only instead of software and hardware as in the past. Nortel now is

                                       2
<PAGE>   3

responsible for supplying the PC hardware components. On a per unit basis then,
Cintech realizes less revenue, countered by a higher gross margin. Unit volume
is expected to continue to increase, brought about by the marketing and sales
leverage of Nortel. (Nortel has approximately 120 salespeople versus Cintech's
10.) For comparative purposes, had Cintech continued to provide PC-hardware
components during the current quarter, sales would have increased approximately
34% over the prior year's first quarter to about $2,075,000.

         Research and Development costs increased to $90,000 or 7% over the same
prior year period. This reflects the Company's ongoing efforts in product
development including the most recent software solution - JAZZ2000 ACD for NEC's
NEAX 2000 IVS. Selling, General and Administrative (S,G&A) expenses of
$1,190,000 were approximately 16% higher than the comparable quarter due to the
implementation of the Company's joint marketing strategy. The greatest portion
of the increase in S,G&A over the first quarter of last year was due to higher
payroll costs of $139,000 reflecting higher staffing levels. The organizational
growth occurred mainly in fiscal 1996 with staffing levels maintained from the
fourth quarter of fiscal 1996 to the first quarter of 1997.

         Other Income decreased to $8,000 for the first three months of fiscal
1997 compared with $24,000 for the prior year quarter due to lower levels of
interest income generated from corresponding lower levels of funds invested in
marketable securities.

         The Company incurred a Net Loss of $247,000 for the first three months
of fiscal 1997 compared to the $241,000 Net Loss reported for the same period
last year. The $0.02 Loss per Share was equal to that realized for the first
quarter of 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

         Working Capital decreased to $1.7 million for the current quarter
compared to $2.0 million for the corresponding prior year. This $300,000
decrease was attributable to decreases in cash and marketable securities
($538,000), accounts receivable ($83,000), and current liabilities ($26,000)
offset by increases in inventory and prepaid expenses of $277,000 and $18,000
respectively.

         The Company's operations provided cash of $175,000 during the first
fiscal quarter ended September 30, 1996. The cash provided was partially offset
by net cash used by investing activities of $67,000.

         As of September 30, 1996, Cintech had outstanding debt obligations of
$115,000 due to the buyout of the lease on the Company's former office
facilities in May, 1996 and held cash and marketable securities totaling $1.07
million.

        The Company is continuing to execute its joint marketing strategy with
Nortel and NEC America that provides higher margin unit sales and a much larger
sales and marketing effort from the partnering companies. While operating
expenses did increase during the periods covered, the Company believes that
increases in sales and/or the liquidation of marketable securities will provide
sufficient cash flow to meet expenses in future periods. The Company has no
material commitments for capital expenditures, nor is the Company subject to
seasonal aspects that could be expected to have a material effect on the
Company's financial condition or its results of operations. The Company feels
that there are no significant elements of income


                                       3
<PAGE>   4


or loss that do not arise from the Company's continuing operations, other than
interest income realized from investment in marketable securities.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

To the Directors of
  Cintech Tele-Management Systems, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheets of Cintech Tele-Management
Systems, Inc. (the "Company") as of September 30, 1996 and 1995 and the related
statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the three
months then ended (all expressed in U.S. dollars). These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytic procedures to
financial data and of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is
the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to such financial statements for them to be in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

CINTECH TELE-MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF JUNE 30, 1996 (AUDITED) AND AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995 AND FOR THE
TWO THREE MONTH PERIODS THEN ENDED
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1.    INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

      In January 1994, Cintech Tele-Management Systems, Inc. (the "Company")
      completed its initial public offering of 2,181,820 shares of common stock
      (the "Offering"). The Company's shares are traded on the Toronto Stock
      Exchange (TSE) under the symbol "CTM".

2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      NATURE OF BUSINESS - The Company develops and markets computer software in
      the emerging Computer-to-Telephone Integration (CTI) industry which
      integrates the voice functions of the telephone with the data functions of
      the computer to provide various business applications. This provides the
      means for small to mid-sized offices to take advantage of the rapid
      advances and emerging capabilities of CTI. This is accomplished through
      StarDome, the Company's marketing and distribution organization that
      offers Business and Personal Computer Telephony Applications to this
      market. StarDome applications may be developed by the Company or by
      selected development companies. These products are offered through the
      Company's extensive distribution network with all the major telephone
      companies in North America.

      USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of the financial statements in
      conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
      management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
      amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure 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 estimates.

      FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION - These financial statements have been
      prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
      the United States of America and are expressed in United States dollars.
      The differences in accounting principles generally accepted in the United
      States of America and Canada are described in Note 9.

      REVENUE - Generally, the Company records revenue from product sales when
      the product is shipped. Contracts with certain distributors may have terms
      which cause the Company to record revenue when the product is sold to
      third parties. Also, the Company records an estimate of potential future
      returns of product sold at the time of sale.

      The Company sells product maintenance agreements which provide for repair
      of hardware and no-cost upgrade of software. These agreements normally
      cover a one-year period with revenue being recognized on a straight-line
      basis over the maintenance period.

      DEPRECIATION - Fixed assets are carried at cost. Depreciation is based on
      the estimated useful lives of the assets and is computed using an
      accelerated method. Depreciation is computed using the following useful
      lives:

          Furniture and Fixtures                               7 years
</TABLE>

      INVENTORY - Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with
      cost being computed using the first-in, first-out method. Inventories
      consist of:

      SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS - Costs incurred internally for creation of the
      computer software product are charged to research and development expense
      when incurred until technological feasibility has been established for the
      product. Thereafter, until general release, all software production costs
      are capitalized and subsequently reported at the lower of amortized cost
      or net realizable value. As the Company's products are in their early
      product life cycle, the capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line
      basis over the estimated economic life of the product.

      Costs capitalized were $51,996 and $37,168 and related amortization was
      $11,164 and $34,070 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and
      1995, respectively.

      FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The carrying value of certain of the
      Company's financial instruments, such as cash, trade accounts receivable
      and trade accounts payable, approximate their fair values. The Company's
      notes payable also approximate fair value based on the borrowing rates
      currently available to the Company for notes with similar terms and
      average maturities.

      CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - For purposes of reporting cash flows, the
      Company considers all money market instruments to be cash equivalents.

      RECLASSIFICATION - Certain 1995 amounts have been reclassified in order to
      conform to 1996 presentation.

3.    MARKETABLE SECURITIES

      The Company maintains various investments in treasury bills which are
      classified as held to maturity and are reported at amortized cost in
      accordance with FASB Statement No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments
      in Debt and Equity Securities". All items mature within one year. The cost
      and market value of the investments are summarized below:

4.    OPERATING LEASES

      OPERATING LEASES - The Company leases its office facility in Norwood,
      Ohio. This operating lease, which began in March 1995 and expires in March
      2002, calls for escalating lease payments over the term of the lease. The
      Company records lease expense on a straight-line basis over the life of
      the lease.

      The annual minimum rent to be paid under the operating lease agreement for
      the facility in Norwood, Ohio is as follows:

</TABLE>



      Rent expense for the leased office space was $73,276 and $57,098 in the
      three month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

      During 1996 and 1995, the Company remained obligated for the lease on its
      former office facility in Cincinnati, Ohio leased from a partnership in
      which two of the Company's stockholders, one of whom is also a director,
      are partners. As a result of the duplicate office facility the Company
      accrued as lease termination cost the remaining lease payments on the
      Cincinnati facility, less projected sublease income and expenses. In May
      1996, this obligation was removed through a buyout of the lease as
      discussed in Note 5.

5.    NOTES PAYABLE

      Notes Payable consisted of the following at September 30, 1996 and June
      30, 1996 respectively:

</TABLE>


      The Term Note Payable - Bank bears interest at the prime lending rate
      (8.25% at September 30, 1996). The remaining term is 15 months. The note
      is secured by various securities on deposit with the bank.

      The Term Note Payable - Third Party bears interest at 6%. The term of the
      note is for 12 months with principal and interest due in full on May 13,
      1997. The note is with a partnership in which two of the company's
      stockholders, one of whom is also a director, are partners.

      The notes are a result of the buyout of the lease on the Company's former
      office facility in Cincinnati, Ohio. As a result of the lease buyout, the
      Company has eliminated the liability for accrued lease termination costs.

      Loss per common share was based on the weighted average number of common
      shares outstanding during each period. Exercise of stock options is not
      assumed as the effect is antidilutive. The weighted average number of
      common shares outstanding was 12,279,371, 12,269,699 and 12,264,422 at
      September 30, 1996, June 30, 1996, and September 30, 1995, respectively.

7.    STOCK OPTION PLAN

      During 1994, the Board of Directors approved a plan providing for the
      granting, to employees, options for the purchase of a maximum of 1,500,000
      shares of common stock. In February 1994 the Company granted 141,500 stock
      options to its employees to purchase common stock at prices which reflect
      a discount from the market value at the date of grant. The related
      compensation expense is recognized over the period earned. Options granted
      become exercisable over a two-year period and expire at the end of ten
      years from the date of grant. In November 1994, the Company adjusted the
      exercise price on the options to $.88. In March 1995, the Company granted
      an additional 118,000 stock options to its employees. These options were
      granted at prices equal to the market value at the date of grant and
      become exercisable over a four-year period and expire at the end of ten
      years from the date of grant. In January, March, June and August of 1996,
      the Company granted additional stock options to its employees of 35,000,
      10,000, 174,015 and 50,000, respectively. These options were all granted
      at prices equal to market value at the date of the grant and become
      exercisable over a four year period and expire at the end of ten years
      from the date of grant. The status of stock options granted at September
      30, 1996, June 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995 is as follows:

      In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
      of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for
      Stock-Based Compensation," which is effective for the Company beginning
      July 1, 1996. SFAS No. 123 requires expanded disclosures of stock-based
      compensation arrangements with employees and encourages (but does not
      require) compensation cost to be measured based on the fair value of the
      equity instrument awarded. Companies are permitted, however, to continue
      to apply APB Opinion No. 25, which recognizes compensation cost based on
      the intrinsic value of the equity instrument awarded. The Company will
      continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25 to its stock based compensation
      awards to employees.

8.    INCOME TAXES

      Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences
      between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities
      that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on
      enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the
      differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances
      are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount
      expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or
      refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in
      deferred tax assets and liabilities.

      Deferred taxes consist of the following:

      At September 30, 1996, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of
      $6,717,031 for U.S. Federal tax purposes. Such loss carryforwards, if
      unused as offsets to future taxable income, will expire beginning in 2002
      and continuing through 2011. Also at September 30, 1996, for U.S. Federal
      tax purposes, the Company has research and development credit
      carryforwards available to offset future income taxes of $140,075 which
      will begin to expire in 2003.

9.    RECONCILIATION OF CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING
      PRINCIPLES ("CANADIAN GAAP AND U.S. GAAP")

      These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
      accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

      During the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, differences
      between Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP arose as a result of depreciation. For
      U.S. GAAP purposes, furniture and fixtures and equipment are depreciated
      over useful lives of seven and five years, respectively, using an
      accelerated method. For Canadian GAAP purposes, furniture and fixtures and
      equipment are to be depreciated over useful lives of five and three years,
      respectively, using a straight-line method. The difference does not have a
      material effect on income nor on the earnings per share calculation.
