                         PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION


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

         The condensed 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 condensed 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, 2000 COMPARED TO THE THREE
MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

         Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2000 were $2,611,000
compared to $3,019,000 for the same period last year. The $408,000 or 14%,
decrease in sales is due to a 13% decrease in ACD (Automatic Call Distribution)
revenue and a 44% decrease in revenue from other Company products, offset by a
2% increase in services revenue.

         Gross profit of $1,931,000 was $273,000, or 12%, lower than the
corresponding period of last year. This decrease in gross profit is a direct
result of the decrease in sales volume. Gross profit as a percentage of sales
was 74% or 1% greater than that experienced during the same period of the prior
year.

         The Company continued its investment in its growth strategy. Research
and development costs of $264,000 were $146,000, or 123%, higher than the
comparable prior year period. Selling, general and administrative expenses of
$1,668,000 were $419,000, or 34%, higher than the comparable prior year period.

         The Company realized a loss from operations of $1,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to income from operations of
$836,000 reported for the same period last year.

         Other income was $126,000 as compared to $42,000 for the comparable
prior year period.

         The income tax provision of $39,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 as


                                       2
<PAGE>   3

compared to $178,000 for the comparable prior year period decreased as a result
of lower taxable income.

         The Company realized net income of $86,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to net income of $700,000 reported for the same
period last year. Earnings per share, basic and diluted, were $0.01 versus a
$0.06 per share reported for the comparable prior year period.



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

         Working Capital increased to $7.6 million as compared to $6.4 million
for the corresponding period of last year. The increase of $1.2 million is
primarily due to an increase in cash and marketable securities of $0.9 million
and decreases in accounts payable and accrued wages and compensation of $0.2
million and $0.1 million, respectively.

         As of September 30, 2000, the Company held cash and marketable
securities totaling approximately $7.7 million and had no outstanding long-term
debt obligations.


         The Company's plan of operation is to continue distributing its contact
center solutions and development of services revenue. The Company has no
material commitments for capital expenditures. The Company feels that there are
no significant elements of income or loss that does not arise from the Company's
continuing operations.

   Condensed Financial Statements for the
   Three Months Ended September 30, 2000
   and 1999 and Independent Accountants'
   Report

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT


To the Directors of
  Cintech Solutions, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed balance sheets of Cintech Solutions,
Inc. (formerly Cintech Tele-Management Systems, Inc.) (the "Company") as of
September 30, 2000 and 1999 and the related condensed statements of income,
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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America, 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, 2000, and the related statements of income, stockholders' equity, and
cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report
dated August 25, 2000, 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, 2000 is fairly stated, in all material
respects, in relation to the balance sheet from which it has been derived.

CINTECH SOLUTIONS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF JUNE 30, 2000 AND AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999 AND FOR THE
THREE-MONTH PERIODS THEN ENDED (INFORMATION RELATED TO THE THREE-MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999 IS UNAUDITED)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      NATURE OF BUSINESS - Cintech Solutions, Inc. (formerly Cintech
      Tele-Management Systems, Inc.) (the "Company") develops and markets
      Internet technology solutions exclusively for small to mid-size entities
      within the Fortune 1000 and small businesses to manage and analyze
      interactions with their customers, partners, and associates for improved
      relationships and informed decisions. In concert with the Internet
      technology solutions, the Company also provides services, such as
      installation, training, project management, consulting and maintenance
      support.

      BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The condensed 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 7. 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, 2000 has not changed materially unless
      otherwise disclosed herein. Financial information as of June 30, 2000
      included in these condensed 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United
      States of America 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 product and service revenue when
      the product is shipped and the service is provided. 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 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 software 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 cost. The reserve is adjusted periodically based upon
      actual experience.

      DEPRECIATION - Fixed assets are carried at cost. Depreciation is computed
      using an accelerated method

         Equipment                                         3-5 years
         Furniture and fixtures                            2-7 years


      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:

      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 $248,082 and $127,249 and related amortization was
      $19,547 and $46,249 for the three-months ended September 30, 2000 and
      1999, 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. License fee expense was $487,361 and $468,642 for the
      three-months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, 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.

      ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - In 1999, the Securities and Exchange
      Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition
      in Financial Statements." The bulletin had no impact on the Company's
      financial statements.

      In 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
      No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."
      This statement, as amended, was adopted on July 1, 2000 and had no impact
      on the Company's reported financial position, results of operations or
      cash flows.

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

      RECLASSIFICATION - Certain fiscal 2000 amounts have been reclassified in
      order to conform to fiscal 2001 presentation.

2.    MARKETABLE SECURITIES

      The Company maintains various investments in 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:

5.    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. In 2000, the plan was amended and restated to
      include in one document all previous amendments and other non-material
      changes designed to improve the operation of the plan and to reserve an
      additional 1,000,000 shares for issuance under the plan. 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 period ranging from one to four years.
      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 or are
      subject to the performance provisions of specific grants.

      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 2000 and 1999, determined using the
      fair value method consistent with SFAS No. 123, were presented in the
      footnotes to the 2000 annual report.

6.    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:

      The primary difference between the statutory rate for federal income tax
      and the effective income tax rate is the utilization of research and
      development credits to reduce the income tax liability. At September 30,
      2000, for U.S. Federal tax purposes, the Company has research and
      development credit carryforwards available to offset future income taxes
      of approximately $301,000 which will begin to expire in 2009.

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

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

      During the periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, differences between
      Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP arose as a result of depreciation. For U.S.
      GAAP purposes, furniture and fixtures, equipment, leasehold improvements,
      and computer equipment are depreciated over useful lives of seven, five,
      two, and three years, respectively, using an accelerated method. For
      Canadian GAAP purposes, furniture and fixtures, equipment, leasehold
      improvements, and computer equipment are to be depreciated over useful
      lives of five, three, two, 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 $38,244 and $2,104 for
      the periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The
      difference does not have a material effect on the earnings per share
      calculation for either period.
