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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         At September 30, 1999, the Company had working capital of approximately
$2,746,000. The Company has a $3,500,000 working capital line of credit with a
bank, collateralized by accounts receivable and inventory of ART and Micron
Products Inc., which bears interest at prime plus .75% (9.0% at September 30,
1999). The working capital line of credit matures December 15, 1999 and did not
have an outstanding balance at September 30, 1999. The Company's lines of credit
are its primary source of operating funds and liquidity.

         Capital expenditures during the first nine months of 1999 were
approximately $383,000 compared to $335,000 in 1998. Capital expenditures are
expected to increase in the fourth quarter as Micron anticipates needing to
purchase a new extruder if sales in the polymer operation continue to increase.
Normal capital expenditures are funded from operating cash flows.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         REVENUES for the third quarter ended September 30, 1999 were $2,364,858
when compared to $2,323,001 for the third quarter of 1998. The sales mix for the
Company continues with ECG sensors making up the greater portion of sales and
the related cost of sales. Until 1996, ART acted as the exclusive distributor of
electrophysiology ("EP") products under its contract with their manufacturer,
Prucka Engineering, Inc. During 1998, ART received a 4% commission on net sales
of EP systems and accessories sold anywhere in the world, up to a ceiling of
$10,000,000 in total annual net sales. From January 1, 1999 through December 31,
2002, ART will receive a commission of 3% of the net sales of CardioLab systems
sold anywhere in the world, up to a ceiling of $10,000,000 in total net sales.
For revenues attributable to Prucka products that exceed $10,000,000 in any
year, ART will be entitled to receive 25% of the 3% commission rate.

         COST OF SALES decreased by 9.7% for the quarter ended September 30,
1999, as compared to the same period in 1998, with overhead costs at Micron due
to reductions in repairs and maintenance, and in utility expenses.

         SELLING AND MARKETING expenses decreased as a percent of sales during
the third quarter ended September 30, 1999 by 0.65% as compared to the same
period for 1998.

         GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE expenses dropped by $52,000 from 1998
numbers, with a reduction in salaries, environmental monitoring expenses,
professional fees and insurance costs.

         RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT expenses decreased significantly by $35,600
for the third quarter ended September 30, 1999, as compared to the same period
in 1998. The decrease is mainly due a decrease in development costs at ART.

YEAR 2000

         Arrhythmia Research Technology's (ART) company-wide Year 2000 Project
has been completed. The general year 2000 concern was that many computer systems
and software products would experience problems handling dates beyond the year
1999 because the systems are coded to accept only two-digit entries in the
century date fields. ART's executive staff has directed a centrally coordinated
Year 2000 Project Team, made up of representatives from each of the company's
departments and divisions, to address this issue. In 1998 this Project Team
began assessing and testing efforts addressing ART's products, services,
infrastructure, and internal business support applications. A detailed plan with
the goal to ensure that all ART's business process and systems are year 2000
ready has been created and implemented. All year 2000 readiness actions set
forth in this plan have been complete by October 1999.

         THE PROJECT: The Arrhythmia Research Technology Year 2000 Project has
been addressed on two fronts. ART is a manufacturing and distributor of medical
products. These efforts were divided into four major sections, Company Products,
Infrastructure (Internal IT Systems), Internal Non-IT systems, and Supply-Chain.
The general phases common to all these sections were: (1) inventorying year 2000
items; (2) assigning priorities to identified items; (3) assessing the year 2000
readiness; (4) repairing or replacing items that are determined not to be year
2000 ready; and (5) testing. The company has engaged the service of an
Information Technology consulting firm, Micro Support Group, Inc., to assist in
the project management and implementation of the year 2000 plan.

         PRODUCTS: The year in the date field of many of ART's software products
is in two digits and is only used as a reference to show when a test was
performed. These dates are not used in any analytical calculations, hence these
software products will not have operational failures, invalid or incorrect
results as a consequence of the year 2000 date change. Other products required
minor remediation involving the display of date data. Neither data integrity nor
product functionality was in jeopardy. These remediation have been successfully
incorporated in the products and made available to the installed user base.
Micron does not manufacturer any date-related products.

         INTERNAL IT SYSTEMS: Arrhythmia Research Technology has completed its
assessment of its internal information technology systems, including business
information systems, manufacturing systems and systems providing electronic
interfaces between the ART and its customers, to determine whether the Company
operations will be interrupted by 2000 issues. This assessment involved the
testing of the Novell Server and the Real World Financial applications. Both
systems successfully passed all Year 2000 Readiness tests.

<PAGE>

         NON-IT SYSTEMS: ART has completed the assessment the impacts of Year
2000 on non-IT systems. Non-IT systems include, but non-limited to,
telecommunications systems (PBX), security systems, HVAC systems, elevations,
utilities (Water, Gas, Electric, etc).

         SUPPLY-CHAIN: Arrhythmia Research Technology has been working closely
with suppliers and other third parties upon which it is dependent, to determine
the extent of their year 2000 readiness. All critical suppliers and business
partners to ART have been contacted and assessed for of their year 2000
readiness. Although ART is very confident in the readiness of its suppliers and
business partners this assessment effort will continued through the end of the
year.

         COST: Company does not expect the total cost of its Year 2000 Project
to have a material effect on the Company's business or financial results.

         RISK: The Year 2000 Project is expected to significantly reduce the
Company's level of uncertainty about the Year 2000 problem and, in particular,
about the Year 2000 readiness of its external agents. Arrhythmia Research
Technology Inc. believes that, with the testing of its financial business
systems and the completion of this project, the possibility of significant
interruption of normal operations should be minimized.

         The Company recognizes that failure to correct a material Year 2000
problem could result in an interruption in, or failure of certain normal
business activities or operations. Such failures could materially and adversely
affect the company's results of operations, and financial condition. Due to the
general uncertainly inherent in the Year 2000 problem, resulting in part from
the uncertainty of the Year 2000 readiness of third-party suppliers, the company
is unable to determine at this time whether the consequences of Year 2000
failures will have a material impact on the company's results of operations.

SAFE HARBOR UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995.

  Forward looking statements made herein are based on current expectations of
the Company that involves a number of risks and uncertainties and should not be

the Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. The factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include:
