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, 1997 compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1996

         Sales for the three months ended September 30, 1997 were $2,057,000
compared to $1,521,000 for the same period last year. The $536,000 or 35%,
increase in sales is primarily attributable to the combined effects of a 50%
increase in ACD unit volume and a 108% increase in training, installation and
maintenance revenue which were slightly offset by a 19% decrease in sales
realized from the Tele-Series call accounting product.

         Gross Margin of $1,375,000 was $350,000 or 34%, greater than the
corresponding period of last year. The increase in Gross Margin is a direct
result of the increase in sales volume. Gross Margin as a percentage of sales
was 67% or unchanged from that experienced during the same period of the prior
year.

         Research and Development costs increased to $132,000 or 39%, over the
same prior year period. This reflects the Company's continued efforts to produce
new products such as the MINUET ACD for Nortel which was released at the end of
September. Selling, General and Administrative (S,G&A) expenses of $1,145,000
were approximately $40,000 or 3.4%, lower than the comparable prior year period.

         The Company realized Net Income of $106,000 for the three months ended
September 30,1997 compared to a $247,000 Net Loss reported for the same period
last year. Earnings Per Share were $0.01 versus a $0.02 Loss Per Share reported
for the prior year quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Working Capital decreased by approximately $761,000 or 45%, to $927,000
when compared to the corresponding period of last year. The decrease is
primarily due to the approximate $800,000 retail inventory product write-off
reported for the third fiscal quarter of last year.

         The Company's operations provided cash of $235,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1997. As of September 30, 1997, Cintech held cash and
marketable securities totaling approximately $974,000 and had no outstanding
long-term debt obligations.

         The Company's plan of operation is to continue distributing its
ACD-related products via joint marketing agreements with Northern Telecom and
NEC America. The Company believes that increases in sales and/or the liquidation
of marketable securities will provide sufficient cash flow to meet these
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 or loss that do not arise from the Company's continuing operations.
