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, 2000 and 1999 and
the related condensed statements of income, 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 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, 1999, and the related statement of income, stockholders' equity, and
cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report
dated August 20, 1999, 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, 1999 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, 1999 AND AS OF MARCH 31, 2000 AND 1999 AND FOR THE THREE-MONTH
AND NINE-MONTH PERIODS THEN ENDED (INFORMATION RELATED TO THE THREE AND
NINE-MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 AND 1999 IS UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF BUSINESS - The Company develops and markets contact center
solutions for small- to mid-size entities, such as departments, branch
offices and workgroups, within global enterprises as well as small- to
mid-size businesses. In addition to the contact center 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, 1999 has not changed materially unless
otherwise disclosed herein. Financial information as of June 30, 1999
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 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 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 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 or 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 over the following useful lives:
Equipment 5 years
Furniture and fixtures 7 years
Leasehold improvements 2 years
Computer equipment 3 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:

Literature and other documentation $ 18,174 $ 14,309 $ 26,576

======== == ======== == ========= == ======== ==
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 $218,301 and $78,292 and related amortization was
$(17,047) and $37,891 for the three-months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. Costs capitalized were $509,716 and $407,326 and related
amortization was $89,202 and $109,891 for the nine-months ended March 31,
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.
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 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities." This statement, as amended, which is effective for
fiscal year 2001, will have no impact on the Company's reported financial
position, result of operations or cash flows.
The Company adopted FASB Statement No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information," during 1999. 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 1999 amounts have been reclassified in
order to conform to fiscal 2000 presentation.

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 March 31:
2001 $233,816
2002 253,300

Stock options representing 150,000 shares for the nine-months ended March
31, 1999 were not included in computing diluted earnings per share because
their effects were antidilutive.
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 1999, 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
-10-
13
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 1999 and 1998, determined using the
fair value method consistent with SFAS No. 123, were presented in the
footnotes to the 1999 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.

At March 31, 2000, the Company has state net operating loss carryforwards,
research and development credit carryforwards and alternative minimum tax
credits available to offset future income taxes.
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 March 31, 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 $23,551 and $12,281 for
the periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The difference
does not have a material effect on the earnings per share calculation for
either period.
