ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

     This discussion and analysis includes a number of forward-looking
statements which reflect the Company's current views with respect to future
events and financial performance. These forward-looking statements are subject
to certain risks and uncertainties, including those discussed under "Business
Environment and Future Results" and elsewhere in this Item, that could cause
actual results to differ materially from historical results or those
anticipated. In this Item, the words "anticipates," "believes," "expects,"
"intends," "future" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.

OVERVIEW

     The Company generates its revenues from cardiac information services (which
includes telephonic monitoring services for cardiac pacemaker patients
("Pacing"), cardiac event detection services ("CEDS") and Holter), diagnostic
imaging services and from heart facilities.

     Following the Company's initial public offering in December 1995, the
Company has entered into a series of transactions which expanded its heart
center and physician practice management businesses. As a result, revenue is
also being provided from: Raytel Heart Center at Granada Hills ("RHCGH")
beginning on February 1, 1996; the management of Southeast Texas Cardiology
Associates II L.L.P. ("SETCA") beginning on September 18, 1996; the management
of Comprehensive Cardiology Consultants, a Medical Group, Inc. ("CCMG")
beginning on November 1, 1996; and Cardiovascular Ventures, Inc. ("CVI")
beginning on August 15, 1997, which included the multi-specialty physician
clinic, Heart and Family Health Institute ("HFHI") and six cardiovascular
diagnostic facilities.

     Under certain practice management contracts, revenues are recognized
pursuant to long-term arrangements with physician groups under which the Company
provides the physician group with a full range of services, including, but not
limited to, office space, specialized clinical and procedural facilities,
medical equipment, data processing and medical record keeping, billing and
collection procedures and services, non-physician licensed personnel, such as
nurses and technicians, as well as office staff and administrative personnel. In
the case of SETCA and CCMG, the Company's practice management revenues are
derived from the physician groups' revenues, generally as a purchased service,
except for certain physician compensation and employment benefits, which are
paid by the physician group on a priority basis. Under the above management
services arrangements, the Company's practice management revenues represent
approximately 67% and 68% of the revenues of the physician groups for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively and approximately 75% and 67%
for the six months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. For HFHI, the
Company recognizes 100% of all medical revenue as the physicians are employees
of the Company.

     On October 9, 1997, the Company announced it had entered into an agreement
with The Baptist Hospital of Southeast Texas ("Baptist") to develop a Raytel
Cardiovascular Center at the hospital. Under the agreement, Raytel was to manage
the cardiovascular center, which will provide the entire continuum of
cardiovascular services, including diagnostic, therapeutic and patient
management programs. Among other duties, Raytel was to be responsible for the
day-to-day operations of the heart center, including administrative support,
information systems management, marketing and public relations activities. The
Company began operations at Baptist during its fourth quarter of fiscal 1998.
Due to a merger between Baptist and the Memorial Hermann Hospital System, a
modified agreement became effective March 1, 1999. Therefore, during the first
five months of fiscal 1999, the Company only recognized revenue to the extent of
expenses. Effective March 1, 1999, the Company is recognizing revenue based on
the modified agreement which calls for the Company to manage portions of the
cardiovascular surgery and cardiology programs at Baptist and to develop and
manage specialty clinics to support the cardiovascular program.



                                       7
<PAGE>   8

     Effective March 27, 1999, the Company entered into a revised agreement with
RHCGH. The new agreement results in significantly lower revenues and expenses
than revenues and expenses recognized under the previous agreements. However,
under the new agreement, the Company expects to generate income. Under the old
agreements, operating expenses were in excess of revenues.

     In November 1999, the Company filed a demand for arbitration against CCMG
with JAMS/Endispute, Inc. The Company provides management services to CCMG
pursuant to a long-term management services agreement entered into between the
parties in November 1996. The demand for arbitration asserts that Raytel is
entitled to rescission, restitution and/or damages as a result of CCMG's
material breaches of the management services agreement. The Company does not
expect that an adverse opinion in the arbitration will have a material adverse
effect on the financial condition of the Company.

     The Company is currently engaged in discussions with SETCA, the physician
practice in Beaumont, Texas, which Raytel manages through a wholly-owned
subsidiary. SETCA has asserted the right to terminate the management services
agreement pursuant to an alleged oral agreement with Raytel. Raytel disputes
SETCA's right to terminate the management services agreement and has proposed a
sale of the management subsidiary either to SETCA or to its member physicians.
In the event that the parties are unable to resolve these issues amicably,
litigation may ensue. Any such litigation could be costly and time-consuming.
Should the outcome of the litigation be adverse to Raytel, the management
services agreement would be terminated. In any event, should the current
discussions or the potential litigation result in a termination of the
management services arrangement between Raytel and SETCA, Raytel would record a
material non-recurring, non-cash charge.

     The net income from CCMG and SETCA was immaterial for the 3 months and 6
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31,
1999.

     Revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, total revenues were
$24,628,000 compared to $27,056,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999,
representing a decrease of $2,428,000, or 9.0%.

     Cardiac information services revenues were $10,564,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2000, compared to $11,024,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1999, a decrease of $460,000, or 4.2%. The decrease in revenues for cardiac
information services was due primarily to lower revenues from CEDS as a result
of lower test volumes. Diagnostic imaging services revenue was $5,521,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2000, compared to $4,990,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1999, an increase of $531,000, or 10.6%, due primarily to
increases in revenue at certain centers and the imaging network due to an
increase in patient volumes. Heart facilities and other revenues were $8,543,000
for the three months ended March 31, 2000, compared to $11,042,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1999, a decrease of $2,499,000 or 22.6%, due primarily to
lower revenue at RHCGH due to the amended agreement and, to a lesser extent,
decreased revenue at certain cardiovascular diagnostic facilities, partially
offset by an increase in revenue from HFHI.

     Operating Expenses. Operating costs and selling, general and administrative
expenses decreased by $1,876,000, or 8.5%, from $22,155,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 to $20,279,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2000
due primarily to lower expenses at RHCGH due to the amended agreement, partially
offset by increases in costs and expenses in diagnostic imaging services.
Operating costs and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage
of total revenues increased slightly from 81.9% for the three months ended March
31, 1999 to 82.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2000. At RHCGH, operating
expenses were slightly in excess of revenues for the period ended March 31,
1999.

$382,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 to $272,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 due primarily to the decreased income in certain
cardiovascular diagnostic facilities.

34.5%, from $859,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 to $563,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2000 as a result of decreased taxable income.

1999, a decrease of $1,736,000, or 7.6%. The decrease in revenues for cardiac
information services was due primarily to lower revenues from CEDS as a result
of lower test volumes, and, to a lesser extent, lower revenues from Pacing due
to a decrease in test volumes, as well as lower reimbursement rates. Diagnostic
imaging services revenue was $10,853,000 for the six months ended March 31,
2000, compared to $9,770,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1999, an

ended March 31, 1999 to $40,057,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2000, due
primarily to lower expenses at RHCGH due to the amended agreement, partially
offset by increases in costs and expenses in diagnostic imaging services, HFHI
and cardiac information services. Operating costs and selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased from 81.6%
for the six months ended March 31, 1999 to 82.6% for the six months ended March

SEGMENT INFORMATION

     The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer
different services. The Company has three reportable segments: Cardiac
Information Services ("Information"), Diagnostic Imaging Services ("Imaging")
and Heart Facilities and Other ("Facilities"). The Information segment provides
remote cardiac monitoring and testing services utilizing telephonic and Internet
communication technology. The Imaging segment operates a network of imaging
centers throughout the United States. The Facilities segment provides
diagnostic, therapeutic and patient management services primarily associated
with cardiovascular disease.

     The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in
the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 2 of the Company's 1999
Annual Report) except that the Company does not allocate all interest expense,
taxes or corporate overhead to the individual segments. The Company evaluates
performance based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes and
unallocated amounts. The totals per the schedules below will not and should not
agree to the consolidated totals. The difference is due to corporate overhead
and other unallocated amounts which are reflected in the reconciliation to
consolidated earnings before income taxes (in thousands):

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND FUTURE RESULTS

     The Company's future operating results may be affected by various trends in
the healthcare industry as well as by a variety of other factors, some of which
are beyond the Company's control.

     The healthcare industry is undergoing significant change as third-party
payors attempt to control the cost, utilization and delivery of healthcare
services. Substantially all of the Company's revenues are derived from Medicare,
HMOs, commercial insurers and other third-party payors. Both government and
private payment sources have instituted cost containment measures designed to
limit payments made to healthcare providers by reducing reimbursement rates,
limiting services covered, increasing utilization review of services,
negotiating prospective or discounted contract pricing, adopting capitation
strategies and seeking competitive bids. Revenue from the Company's Pacing
operations during certain periods of the last three fiscal years has been
negatively impacted by Medicare reimbursement rate reductions. Reimbursement
rate reductions applicable to the Company's Pacing procedures became effective
on January 1, 1997. These reductions had a negative effect on the Company's
operating results for the last three quarters of fiscal 1997 and for the first
quarter of fiscal 1998. The Company's Pacing operations have been favorably
impacted for the period January 1, 1998 to December 31, 1998 due to an increase
in Medicare reimbursement rates effective on January 1, 1998. However, a slight
decrease in these rates became effective on January 1, 1999, thereby having a
negative effect on Pacing revenue for calendar 1999. There was a slight increase
in Medicare reimbursement rates effective January 1, 2000. The Company cannot
predict with any certainty whether or when additional reductions or changes in
Medicare or other third-party reimbursement rates or policies will be
implemented. There can be no assurance that future changes, if any, will not
adversely affect the amounts or types of services that may be reimbursed to the
Company, or that future reimbursement of any service offered by the Company will
be sufficient to cover the costs and overhead allocated to such service.

     From time to time Congress considers legislation to reduce Medicare and
Medicaid expenditures. Future legislation of this type could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and operating
results. Governmental agencies promulgate regulations which mandate changes in
the method of delivering services which could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business.


                                       12
<PAGE>   13

     An element of the Company's strategy is to expand, in part, through
acquisitions and investments in complementary healthcare businesses. The
implementation of this strategy may place significant strain on the Company's
administrative, operational and financial resources and increase demands on its
systems and controls. There can be no assurances that businesses acquired by the
Company, either recently or in the future, will be integrated successfully and
profitably into the Company's operations, that suitable acquisitions or
investment opportunities will be identified, or that any such transactions can
be consummated.

     Providers of healthcare services are subject to numerous federal, state and
local laws and regulations that govern various aspects of their business. There
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain regulatory approvals
that may be required to expand its services or that new laws or regulations will
not be enacted or adopted that will have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition or operating results.

     The healthcare businesses in which the Company is engaged are highly
competitive. The Company expects competition to increase as a result of ongoing
consolidations and cost-containment pressures, among other factors.

     The trading price of the Company's Common Stock could be subject to wide
fluctuations in response to quarterly variations in the Company's operating
results, shortfalls in such operating results from levels forecasted by
securities analysts and other events or factors. In addition, the stock market
has, from time to time, experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that
have particularly affected the market prices of companies in the healthcare
service industries and that have often been unrelated to the operating
performance of the affected companies. Announcements of changes in reimbursement
policies of third-party payors, legislative or regulatory developments, economic
news and other external factors may have a significant impact on the market
price of healthcare stocks.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company acquired CDS in June 1996 for cash in the amount of
$14,254,000, SETCA in September 1996 for cash in the amount of $4,010,000, and
CCMG in November 1996 for cash in the amount of $427,000 and CVI in August 1997
for cash in the amount of $16,980,000 plus $280,000 paid during fiscal 1998. At
March 31, 2000, the Company had working capital of $30,149,000, compared to
$28,599,000 at September 30, 1999. At March 31, 2000, the Company had cash and
temporary cash investments of $6,207,000. At March 31, 2000, $17,152,000 was
outstanding under the Company's line of credit.

     The Company batch-bills Medicare insurance carriers for most cardiac
testing services performed during the first few months of each calendar year.
This practice results in a temporary build-up of accounts receivable during the
Company's second and third fiscal quarters and the collection of these
receivables primarily during the subsequent fourth fiscal quarter.

     The Company has a revolving line of credit with two banks in the amount of
$45,000,000 to fund working capital needs, future acquisitions, equipment
purchases and other business needs. Amounts outstanding under the line of credit
bear interest based on a defined formula and are subject to certain covenants.
The line of credit expires in August 2001 at which time any outstanding balance
will be due and payable.



                                       13
<PAGE>   14

     The Company's long-term capital requirements will depend on numerous
factors, including the rate at which the Company develops new products and
services and acquires other businesses, if any. The Company believes that its
cash and cash equivalent balances, together with amounts available from bank
borrowings and cash generated by its operating activities, will be adequate to
meet the Company's anticipated needs for working capital and capital
expenditures through fiscal 2000.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

     The Company, to date, has not experienced any significant Year 2000
problems. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will not
experience any significant problems as it moves forward in Year 2000.

      ITEM 3:  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

     The Company is exposed to market risk from interest rate fluctuations
because it uses variable rate debt to finance working capital requirements. The
Company does not believe that there is any material market risk exposure with
respect to other financial instruments that would require further disclosure
under this item.
