                         PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION


Item 1.  Financial Statements.

         The unaudited condensed financial statements attached to the end of
this quarterly report are filed as part of this quarterly report. The unaudited
condensed 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 March 31, 1999 compared to the three months
ended March 31, 1998

         Sales for the three months ended March 31, 1999 were $2,979,000
compared to $2,067,000 for the same period last year. The $912,000, or 44%,
increase in sales is due to a 63% increase in ACD software and hardware revenues
combined with a 22% decrease in revenue from other CTI products and a 26%
increase in services revenue.

         Gross margin of $2,055,000 was $734,000, or 56%, greater than the
corresponding period of last year. This increase in gross margin is a direct
result of the increase in sales volume and product mix. Gross margin was 69%,
which as a percentage of sales was 5% greater than that experienced during the
same period of the prior year.

         Research and development costs of $99,000 were approximately $35,000
less than the comparable prior year period. Selling, general and administrative
(S,G&A) expenses of $1,288,000 were approximately $156,000 higher than the
comparable prior year period.

         The Company realized net income of $633,000 for the three months ended
March 31,1999 compared to net income of $66,000 reported for the same period
last year. Earnings per share, basic and diluted, were $0.05 versus a $0.01 per
share reported for the comparable prior year period.

         For the nine months ended March 31, 1999 compared to the nine months
ended March 31, 1998

         Sales for the nine months ended March 31, 1999 were $8,496,000 compared
to $6,745,000 for the same period last year. The $1,751,000, or 26%, increase in
sales is due to a 32% increase in ACD software and hardware revenues combined
with a 1% decrease in revenue from other CTI products and a 25% increase in
services revenue.

         Gross margin of $5,908,000 was $1,532,000, or 35%, greater than the
corresponding period of last year. This increase in gross margin is a direct
result of the increase in sales volume and product mix. Gross margin was 70%,
which as a percentage of sales was 5% greater than that experienced during the
same period of the prior year.

         Research and development costs of $295,000 were approximately $114,000
less than the comparable prior year period. Selling, general and administrative
(S,G&A) expenses of $3,606,000 were approximately $182,000 higher than the
comparable prior year period.

         The Company realized net income of $2,015,000 for the nine months ended
March 31,1999 compared to net income of $570,000 reported for the same period
last year. Earnings per share, basic and diluted, were $0.16 versus a $0.05 per
share reported for the comparable prior year period.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Working capital increased to $4.0 million as compared to $1.4 million
for the corresponding period of last year. The increase of $2.6 million is
primarily due to the increase in cash and marketable securities of $3.4 million
offset by increases in accounts payable of $231,000, deferred maintenance
revenue of $318,000 and accrued salaries and payroll taxes of $252,000. The
increases in cash and marketable securities reflect the increase in sales volume
and profitability experienced by the Company thus far during fiscal 1999.

         As of March 31, 1999, Cintech held cash and marketable securities
totaling approximately $ 5.0 million and had no outstanding long-term debt
obligations.

         The Company's plan of operation is to continue distributing its
ACD-related products via strategic alliances with Northern Telecom and NEC. The
Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures. The Company feels
that there are no significant elements of income or loss that do not arise from
the Company's continuing operations.


Year 2000 Compliance

     The Company is in the process of conducting a comprehensive review of its
key internal financial, information and operational systems to identify the
systems that could be materially affected by the Year 2000 issue. The Company
will be making appropriate modifications and 



                                       3
<PAGE>   4



conducting compliance testing on these systems. The Company believes that with
modifications to, or replacement of, existing systems, the Year 2000 issue will
not pose significant operating problems. The Company believes that its key
internal systems will be Year 2000 compliant before June 30, 1999. The Company
began replacing non-compliant versions of internal software during the second
fiscal quarter. Based upon preliminary information, the costs of addressing
internal problems are not expected to have a material adverse impact on the
Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows in future
periods. Accordingly, the cost for Year 2000 problems, which is expected to be
less than $20,000, will be funded through operating cash flows.

         The Company has evaluated all of its products for Year 2000 readiness.
The evaluation included comprehensive testing of the capability of its products
to handle the transition to and operate in the Year 2000. The company believes
that all products are Year 2000 ready or can be updated with versions currently
available to become Year 2000 ready. Information regarding the Year 2000
readiness of the Company's products or services is available through the
Company's website: www.cintech-cti.com.

         The Company is in the process of assessing the readiness of significant
suppliers and customers to determine the extent to which the Company is
vulnerable to those third parties' failure to remediate their own Year 2000
issues. Failure of the Company's suppliers to address their own Year 2000 issues
could result in a delay of the Company's ability to ship its products. The
Company cannot guarantee that the systems of other companies will be converted
in a timely manner, or the conversion or failure to convert systems, would not
have an adverse material effect on the Company.

         The Company is in the process of evaluating alternative procedures to
handle Year 2000 issues in the event that there would be a delay in implementing
any changes stemming from its current review process.

Condensed Financial Statements for the Three and Nine-Months Ended 
March 31, 1999 and 1998 and Independent Accountants' Report

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT


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

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed balance sheets of Cintech
Tele-Management Systems, Inc. (the "Company") as of March 31, 1999 and 1998 and
the related condensed statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash
flows for the three months and nine 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 condensed financial statements for them to be in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America, the balance sheet of the Company as of
June 30, 1998, and the related statement of operations, stockholders' equity and
cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report
dated August 26, 1998, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial
statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 1998 is fairly stated, in all material
respects, in relation to the balance sheet from which it has been derived.

CINTECH TELE-MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF JUNE 30, 1998 AND AS OF MARCH 31, 1999 AND 1998 AND FOR THE THREE-MONTH
AND NINE-MONTH PERIODS THEN ENDED (INFORMATION RELATED TO THE THREE AND
NINE-MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 AND 1998 IS UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.    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. Cintech has key strategic
      product partnerships with Nortel and NEC America. These strategic product
      partnerships provide the Company with extensive distribution
      opportunities.

      BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The financial statements have been prepared in
      accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
      States of America for interim financial information and with the
      instructions to Form 10-QSB and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X 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 8. The information disclosed in the notes to the
      financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
      10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 1998 has not changed materially unless
      otherwise disclosed herein. Financial information as of June 30, 1998
      included in these financial statements has been derived from the audited
      financial statements included in that report. In management's opinion all
      adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair
      presentation of the interim periods have been made.

      Results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that
      may be expected for future interim periods or for the full year.

      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.

      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.

      DEFERRED MAINTENANCE REVENUE - The Company sells product maintenance
      agreements which provide for repair of hardware and no-cost upgrade of
      software. These agreements normally cover periods ranging from 1-5 years
      with revenue being recognized on a straight-line basis over the
      maintenance period.

      WARRANTY RESERVE - At the time of sale, the Company accrues for warranty
      costs relating to hardware replacement or on site support to be provided
      during the first twelve months following the sale. Costs associated with
      supporting product under warranty are charged to the reserve instead of
      current period 



                                     - 6 -

      cost. The reserve, included in other accrued liabilities in the financial
      statements, is adjusted periodically based upon actual experience.

      DEPRECIATION - Fixed assets are carried at cost. Depreciation is computed
      using an accelerated method over the following useful lives:

      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:

</TABLE>


      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. The capitalized costs are amortized on a
      straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of the product.

      Costs capitalized were $78,292 and $51,381 and related amortization was
      $37,891 and $36,000 for the three-months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,
      respectively. Costs capitalized were $407,326 and $137,981 and related
      amortization was $109,891 and $108,000 for the nine-months ended March 31,
      1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company periodically evaluates the
      capitalized cost relative to potential sales and accelerates the write-off
      when appropriate.

      LICENSING FEE - The Company has agreements with distributors which require
      the payment of a license fee on certain software sales made by the
      distributors. This license fee is for the distribution of the Company's
      products.

      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.

      ACCOUNTING CHANGES - In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
      ("FASB") issued Statement No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
      Enterprise and Related Information." This statement, which is effective
      for the 1999 fiscal year, expands or modifies disclosures and,
      accordingly, will have no impact on the Company's reported financial
      position, results of operations or cash flows.

      In 1998, the FASB issued Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
      Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement, which is effective
      for all periods beginning after June 15, 1999, will have no impact on the
      Company's reported financial position, results of operations or cash
      flows.

      The Company adopted FASB Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," during
      the quarter ended December 31, 1997. Earnings per share of prior periods
      have been restated (see Note 5). The Company also adopted FASB Statement
      No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" during the quarter ended
      September 30, 1998. However, as the Company had no items of comprehensive
      income, there was no impact on the Company's financial statements.

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

      RECLASSIFICATION - Certain fiscal year 1998 amounts have been reclassified
      in order to conform to fiscal year 1999 presentation.

2.    MARKETABLE SECURITIES

      The Company maintains various investments in treasury bills and federal
      agency notes 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:

6.    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 1996, the plan was amended to provide for
      non-employee eligibility. Excluding the options granted in February 1994,
      all options have been granted at an exercise price equal to the fair
      market value at the date of grant and become exercisable equally over a
      four-year period. The February 1994 options were granted at a price below
      fair market value at the date of grant and were subsequently adjusted to
      market. The 1994 options granted became exercisable equally over a
      two-year period. All options expire at the end of ten years from the date
      of grant.

      The Company has adopted the disclosure only provision of SFAS No. 123 and
      applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its stock options. Proforma
      disclosure reflecting the financial impact of compensation cost for stock
      option grants made in fiscal years 1998 and 1997, determined using the
      fair value method consistent with SFAS No. 123, were presented in the
      footnotes to the 1998 annual report.

7.    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 March 31, 1999, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of
      approximately $3,800,000 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 March 31, 1999, for
      U.S. Federal tax purposes, the Company has research and development credit
      carryforwards available to offset future income taxes of approximately
      $195,000 which will begin to expire in 2002.


      Although the Company has net operating loss carryforwards, the Company has
      provided for federal taxes based upon the requirements of the alternative
      minimum tax.


8.    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 periods presented, differences between Canadian GAAP and U.S.
      GAAP arose as a result of depreciation. For U.S. GAAP purposes, furniture
      and fixtures, equipment, and computer equipment are depreciated over
      useful lives of seven, five, and three years, respectively, using an
      accelerated method. For Canadian GAAP purposes, furniture and fixtures,
      equipment, and computer equipment are to be depreciated over useful lives
      of five, three, and three years, respectively, using a straight-line
      method. The difference in methodology results in a reported U.S. GAAP net
      income in excess of Canadian GAAP of $12,281 and $11,020 for the
      nine-month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The
      difference does not have a material effect on the earnings per share
      calculation for either period.
