Arrhythmia Research Technology, Inc. Announces
Delay in Finalizing Fourth Quarter and 2012 Year End Results

Fitchburg, Massachusetts
Arrhythmia Research Technology, Inc. (NYSE MKT:HRT) (the "Company") reported today that it was unable to file its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 within the automatic extension of its due date to April 16, 2013 afforded by its filing of a Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The delay in filing is due to an ongoing internal review by the Audit Committee and the Company's independent auditor relating to the recognition of revenue with multiple element arrangements associated with respect to our tooling revenue. As of today's date, the audit is not complete. However, for the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company preliminarily expects to report the following:
 
Preliminary December 31, 2012
Consolidated Revenues
$
20,300,000

Net Loss
2,500,000

Total Assets
16,600,000

Total Liabilities
6,700,000

Total Stockholder Equity
9,900,000

Consequently, the Company is unable to determine with reasonable certainty at this time the significance of any such adjustments and their effect on the net loss and total assets, total liabilities and stockholders' equity. Management is working diligently with its Audit Committee and the Company's independent auditor to determine whether any potential adjustments are required and the extent thereof. The Company expects to finalize the 10-K by April 26, 2013. However, until the review is complete and a final determination is made, the Company cannot provide further assurance regarding the results of operations for the affected periods or whether adjustments will be required.
Salvatore Emma, Jr., the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated "We want our stockholders to know that it is of the greatest importance to us to provide confidence and transparency in our financial statements.  We are doing everything possible to ensure that this issue is accurately and fully resolved as quickly as possible."
