SUPPLEMENTAL NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes
have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial
statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's most recent
Form 10-K covering the year ended December 31, 2000.
The information furnished reflects, in the opinion of the management of
Arrhythmia Research Technology, Inc. ("ART"), all adjustments necessary for a
fair presentation of the financial results for the interim period presented.
Interim results are subject to year-end adjustments and audit by
independent certified public accountants.
Reclassifications:
Certain accounts in the 2000 financial statements have been reclassified to
conform with the 2001 presentation.
New Accounting Standard:
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board finalized FASB
Statements No.141, Business Combinations (SFAS 141), and No.142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). SFAS 141 requires the use of the purchase
method of accounting and prohibits the use of the pooling-of-interests method
for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 requires,
among other things, that companies no longer amortize goodwill in fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001, but test goodwill for impairment at least
annually.
The Company's previous business combinations were accounted for using the
purchase method. As of September 30, 2001 the net carrying amount of goodwill is
$1,359,416. Amortization expense during the nine month period ended September
30, 2001 was $97,417. Currently the Company is assessing but has not yet
determined how the adoption of SFAS 141 and SFAS 142 will impact its financial
position and results of operations.

Inventories consist of the following as of:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
At September 30, 2001, the Company had working capital of $3,235,191
compared to $3,671,443 at December 31, 2000. The $436,252 decrease in working
capital resulted from $470,003 of bonds payable (maturity value of $550,000)
that became a current liability in May 2001.
The Company has a $1,000,000 line of credit with a bank that was extended
through June 2002. There were no borrowings on the line of credit at September
30, 2001 or during the first nine months of 2001.
In September 2001, the Company announced the continuation of its Stock Buy-
Back Program and its intention to purchase up to an additional 200,000 shares of
the common stock of the Company. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001,
the Company acquired 245,100 shares of its common stock at an average cost of
$2.25 per share. It is intended that the repurchased shares become treasury
stock of the Company.
Results of Operations
---------------------
Total revenue for the third quarter of 2001 was $1,637,050 or a decrease of
22% from the third quarter of 2000 revenue. Of the $471,197 decline in third
quarter revenue, $306,859 reflects the lower sales of snaps to a major customer
of Micron Products, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) which
switched to an alternate supplier. Net income for the third quarter of 2001 was
$80,766, or $58,833 better than the third quarter of 2000. The improvement in
third quarter 2001
7
earnings compared to 2000 resulted primarily from $160,742 savings in selling,
general and administrative expenses associated with the consolidation of the
Texas office into the Massachusetts facility and the reduction of management
personnel.
Included in last year's revenues and net income for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 was $1,000,000 of revenue and $760,000 of net income from a
one time payment by GE/Prucka to terminate a commission agreement for CardioLab
sales. Excluding the one time commission payment, year to date revenues for
2001 were $5,265,686 compared to $6,515,164 for 2000. The $1,249,478 decline in
revenue is attributed to $741,390 in lower snap sales and accelerated pre-Y2K
sales that reduced early 2001 sales. Year to date, net income for 2001 is
$217,470 compared to $8,506 for 2000 excluding the one time commission payment.
In addition to the $364,960 in savings in 2001 from the reduction of selling,
general and administrative personnel and programs, no major legal expenses have
been reported in 2001, whereas in 2000 reported $121,710 for legal costs at
Micron. The savings in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2001
more than offset the $245,518 loss of gross profit on the lower sales in 2001,
excluding the one time commission payment.
Domestic and foreign sales for the third quarter and nine months are as follows:
Third Quarter Nine Months
2001 % 2000 % 2001 % 2000 %
---------- --- ------------- --- ---------- --- ---------- ---
Foreign Sales $1,326,656 81 $ 1,456,483 69 $4,355,652 83 $4,533,222 61
Domestic Sales 310,394 19 651,764 31 910,034 17 1,981,942 26

========== === ============= === ========== === =========== ===
Foreign sales continue to increase in proportion to the Company's total
sales as two major Micron customers have consolidated the majority of their
production of ECG electrodes into Canadian plants.
Cost of sales was 72% of revenue in the third quarter of 2001 compared to
75% for the same period in 2000. Cost of sales was 70% for the nine months of
2001 compared to 72% for the same period in 2000, excluding the one time
commission payment. The lower costs in 2001 reflect the lower sales volume of
snaps for which Micron acts as a distributor that have a higher cost than its
own ECG silver plated sensors.
Selling and marketing expenses are $19,120 and $107,122 below the prior
year for the third quarter and the nine months then ended, respectively. Selling
and marketing expenses have been lowered during the upgrading of ART's SAECG
products as discussed below.
Research and development expenses are $9,125 and $30,759 over the prior
year for the third quarter and the nine months then ended, respectively. The
additional funds were spent incorporating two signal averaging programs into a
single software package and evaluating alternative acquisition devices used in
conjunction with the Company's SAECG applications.
General and administrative expenses were lower in the third quarter of 2001
by $141,622 and for the nine months of 2001 by $379,548 as compared to similar
periods in 2000. In the first half of 2000, $121,710 of legal expenses were
incurred at Micron that did not repeat in 2001. The remainder of the savings are
primarily attributed to the lower management personnel and severance costs from
that which were reported in 2000.
Income taxes for the third quarters of 2001 and 2000 were both tax credits
of $23,000 and $58,000, respectively. The tax credits arise due to the
recognition of deferred Federal income tax deductions that are estimated to be
used in 2001 and subsequent years. The Company has available approximately
$1,200,000 of deferred Federal tax credits that can be utilized to offset
Federal taxes payable to the extent the Company has taxable income. Income taxes
for the nine months ended 2001 and 2000 were 14% and 19%, respectively.
