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 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. 3 4 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.

Condensed Financial Statements for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 and Independent Accountants' Report 7 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.

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 -7- 13 over the following useful lives: 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:

SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS - Most of the Company's sales are to distributors in the voice-centric call center solutions market. The Company had sales to major distributors, as follows: SALES FOR THE THREE-MONTHS ENDED SEPT 30, 2000 1999 ------------------- -------------------- AMOUNT % AMOUNT % Distributor A $1,831,272 70% $2,043,660 68% Distributor B 140,391 5% 356,525 12% ---------- -- ---------- -- Total $1,971,663 75% $2,400,185 80% ========== == ========== == The Company had gross accounts receivable from major distributors, each of which was in excess of 10% of the Company's total accounts receivable, as follows: GROSS ACCOUNTS DISTRIBUTORS RECEIVABLE September 30, 2000 1 76 % June 30, 2000 1 74 % September 30, 1999 2 79 % INTERNATIONAL SALES - The Company had international sales as follows: SALES FOR THE THREE-MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, ------------------------------------------------ 2000 1999 ----------------------- ----------------------- AMOUNT % AMOUNT % Canada $75,131 3% $46,190 2% SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS - Costs incurred internally for creation of the computer software product -8- 14 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:

3. OPERATING LEASES -9- 15 OPERATING LEASES - The Company leases its office facility in Norwood, Ohio. This operating lease, which began in March 1995 and expires in April 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: Period Ending September 30: 2001 $233,816 2002 116,910 Rent expense for the leased office space was $85,390 and $73,277 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. 4. CAPITAL STOCK AND INCOME PER SHARE The following schedule is a summary of the Company's shares of capital stock.

Stock options representing 20,000 shares for the three-months ended September 30, 2000 were not included in computing diluted earnings per share because their effects were antidilutive. -10- 16 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.

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.

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. * * * * * * -12-
