ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

                                  BACKGROUND

        Arrhythmia Research Technology, Inc. ("ART") was incorporated under 
the laws of the State of Louisiana in 1981 and reincorporated under the laws 
of the State of Delaware in 1987.  ART is engaged in marketing and 
manufacturing computerized medical instruments which acquire data and analyze 
electrical impulses of the heart to detect and aid in the treatment of 
potentially lethal arrhythmias.  ART's product-line includes signal-averaging 
electrocardiographic (SAECG) equipment, cardiac catheterization equipment, 
and electrophysiology equipment.  ART's patented and proprietary signal-
averaging product line is comprised of the 1200 EPX-TM-, the LP-Pac Q-TM-, 
the PREDICTOR IIc-TM-, and the PREDICTOR-Registered Trademark- I.  ART 
is the exclusive distributor for the Astro-Med, Inc. proprietary K3 Cardiac 
Catheterization product line for the United States and Canada.  Additionally, 
ART is the exclusive distributor for the CardioMapp-TM- and CardioLab-TM-,

product lines to supply this market.  
 
                             RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT WITH ASTRO-MED, INC. 

        In November 1995, ART signed an agreement ("the Agreement") with 
Astro-Med, Inc. ("Astro-Med"), to exclusively distribute its family of 
proprietary K3 Cardiac Catheterization products (K3 Cath-Lab).  The agreement 
is for an initial term of eighteen months and can be extended under certain 
conditions for an additional three years.  Astro-Med is a manufacturer of 
specialty printer systems and related equipment which display, monitor, 
analyze and print data for aerospace, industrial and medical applications.  
The Astro-Med K3 Cath-Lab is an advanced hemodynamics system for use in a 
standard hospital Cath-Lab.  The FDA issued a 510(k) in November 1994, which 
allows the K3 to be sold to the medical community in the United States.  
Astro-Med is a publicly traded company listed on the NASDAQ National Market 
System under the symbol ALOT.  

CONSOLIDATED BANK FINANCING COMPLETED IN NOVEMBER 1995

        In November 1995, the Company obtained funding for a consolidated 
$3.5 million working capital line of credit and a $375,000 term loan with a 
bank.  The line of credit is collateralized by the accounts receivable and 
inventory of  ART and Micron and bears interest at prime plus .75%.  The 
consolidated working capital line of credit replaced the individual lines of 
credit maintained by ART and Micron.  Previously the individual lines of 
credit maintained by the parent and its subsidiary hampered the Company's 
ability to maximize its overall credit capacity to meet its liquidity needs.  
The new working capital line of credit originally matured October 31, 1996, 
however, the maturity has been extended to September 30, 1997 based primarily 
on the Company's performance since closing and the agreement to distribute 
the Astro-Med K3 Cath-Lab.  The new working capital line of credit is 
expected to enhance profitability and significantly improve financial 
flexibility and liquidity.

COMPLETION OF PRIVATE PLACEMENT OFFERING OF $600,000 IN DEBENTURES

        In August 1995, the Company completed a $600,000 private bond 
placement.  The bonds are subordinated to the bank, carry an 11% interest 
rate, and are payable in 5 years.  ART issued the bondholders an aggregate 
of 279,000 warrants to purchase ART stock at $3.00 per share as part of the 
private placement.  The warrants expire 5 years from the date of the bond.  
The bond proceeds were used to help ART meet common stock  repurchase 
commitments and to provide working capital for new product acquisitions and 
development.  

ACC EXPERT CONSENSUS REPORT RELEASED

        A report from an ACC expert panel of cardiologists, released in 
January 1996, deemed that the signal-averaged electrocardiography (SAECG) 
test employing the bidirectional Butterworth filter is a valuable tool in 
several cardiac disease clinical indications.  ART holds the US and 
international patents for the use of the bidirectional Butterworth filter.  
The filtering technique employed in the Simson Method for late potential 
analysis of the SAECG is the only method recommended by this recent expert 
consensus, as well as by a previous "Standards" paper issued jointly by the 
American College of Cardiology, American Heart Association, and the European 
Society of Cardiology. The new report stated that the SAECG test is 
established as being valuable for identifying patients after a heart attack 
who are at high risk for developing sustained ventricular arrhythmias, and 
also for identifying patients with ischemic heart disease and unexplained 
syncope, who are likely to have inducible ventricular tachycardia.  
Furthermore, the SAECG test has been found to be valuable in risk stratifying 
nonischemic cardiomyopathy patients who may develop sustained ventricular 
arrhythmias, and also for assessment of the success of operations for 
ventricular arrhythmias.  Other promising indications include the detection 
of tissue rejection in heart transplant patients, and the effects of 
anti-arrhythmic drugs.  The SAECG non-invasive test, which now has its own 
CPT code for reimbursement, was shown to be more cost effective than other 
tests used for similar type of risk stratification, such as invasive 
programmed stimulation, ejection fraction and Holter tests.  The consensus 
paper also said that Medicare reimbursement for this test has shown an upward 
trend from 1992 to 1994.

                           DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

SIGNAL-AVERAGING ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHIC (SAECG) PRODUCTS

        Sudden cardiac death afflicts over 400,000 individuals in the United 
States alone each year. As described in an Expert Consensus on 
Signal-Averaged Electrocardiography published in the Journal of the American 
College of Cardiology (Vol. 27, No. 1, 1996), these occurrences are due to 
sustained ventricular tachycardia (abnormally rapid heartbeat) or ventricular 
fibrillation (very fast, completely irregular heartbeat) which severely 
affect the capability of the heart's pumping chambers or ventricles.  
Ventricular arrhythmias are distinguished from arrhythmias affecting the 
atrium (the non-pumping chambers of the heart), which generally are not 
life-threatening.  The majority of ventricular arrhythmias occur in patients 
who have survived a prior heart attack or have significant coronary artery 
disease.  However, individuals with primary electrical disturbances of the 
heart comprise an additional subset of patients.  Thus, various techniques 
have evolved to detect and treat individuals at risk of the development of 
sustained ventricular arrhythmias which may cause marked interference with 
the proper functioning of blood circulation, resulting, in some cases, in 
sudden cardiac death.

        By analyzing the electrical signals from the hearts of animal and 
human survivors of heart attacks, researchers have found that, in contrast to 
the relatively discrete, narrow high amplitude signals recorded from normal 
subjects, low amplitude, high frequency signals persisted well after the 
heartbeats were recorded in approximately 20% to 25% of heart attack 
survivors.  These latter signals became known as "late potentials."  Since 
directly recorded late potentials had been documented in subjects with 
malignant ventricular arrhythmias, the hypothesis arose that late potentials 
would be recorded in subjects with, or at risk of, sustained ventricular 
arrhythmias.  After successful surgical treatment of ventricular arrhythmias, 
these late potential signals disappeared, which indicated an association 
between these abnormal signals and the underlying condition.

        Signal-averaged surface (non-invasive) electrocardiography has become 
well established as a means of evaluating and diagnosing those individuals at 
risk for potentially lethal ventricular arrhythmias as documented by an 
Expert Consensus on SAECG (noted above).  The steps involved in obtaining a 
SAECG include:  recording, digitization, averaging, amplification, and 
filtering. Conventional surface electrocardiography generally cannot detect 
late potentials.  A major limitation stems from the inability to isolate the 
low amplitude signals.  Amplification of the standard electrocardiogram to 
detect late potentials results in contamination by coincident electrical 
noise. The SAECG processes enable late potentials to be amplified and 
enhanced, while eliminating undesired electrical noise.  At the annual 
American Heart Association Scientific Sessions in November 1995, abstracts of 
studies were presented which described potential new areas of effective use 
of ART's SAECG technology.  Of primary interest were (1) SAECG as a predictor 
of sudden cardiac death after coronary arterial bypass surgery; (2) SAECG as 
a tool for determining the effectiveness of ACE inhibitor drug therapy; and 


                                      3



(3) as a non-invasive method of detecting rejection after heart transplant 
surgery.  These studies have the potential to broaden the uses of SAECG 
technology and applications of ART's SAECG products.  ART's patented 
technology is considered the standard in medicine for SAECG.  ART's SAECG 
products are described in detail below. 

    1200 EPX

        The 1200 EPX is a specialized high resolution ECG system used to 
detect late potentials which cannot be detected by conventional surface ECG 
instruments.  The 1200 EPX is used in conjunction with an MS-DOS based 
personal computer utilizing the patented Simson bi-directional Butterworth 
filtering technique.  The 1200 EPX acquires, digitizes, averages and filters 
the cardiac signals providing late potential analysis with its time domain 
and frequency-domain analysis software.  ART has the rights to the use of the 
Simson bi-directional Butterworth filtering technique for the detection of 
late potentials in the terminal portion of the QRS cycle.  This method, 
characterized as the "Standard", was pioneered by Michael Simson, MD, and has 
been built into each 1200 EPX.  Hard copy reports are generated using 
laserjet printers.  See "EPSoft-TM- Software Library" for post-processing 
applications available for the 1200 EPX.

    LP-PAC Q AND PREDICTOR IIc

        The LP-Pac Q is a low-cost signal-averaging kit for MS-DOS based 
personal computers which consists of a "smart" SAECG pre-amplifier/patient 
cable, lead wires, a data acquisition system (DAS) card to receive ECG 
signals in real-time, time domain late-potential analysis software and an 
isolation safety transformer.  The LP-Pac Q uses the patented Simson 
bi-directional Butterworth filtering technique, the recognized standard for 
the detection of late potentials, and provides results which are 
substantially equivalent to the 1200EPX.  All software modules for the 1200 
EPX are also available for the LP-Pac Q, with the exception of Heart Rate 
Variability analysis.  See "EPSoft-TM- Software Library".  In January 1996, 
ART received CE mark certification for the LP-Pac Q.  The certification of 
the CE mark is required to export products to the European community.    

        The PREDICTOR IIc is a cart-based patient-isolated system comprised 
of the same components as the LP-Pac Q kit, but running PREDICTOR software on 
a notebook computer with a docking station.  A Hewlett-Packard laserjet 
printer is supplied as part of the cart-based system.

    PREDICTOR I

        The PREDICTOR I is a personal computer-based signal-averaging device 
that records and analyzes cardiac late potentials.  The PREDICTOR I consists 
of a computer, digitizing hardware, programmable amplifiers, QRS detection 
hardware/firmware, preamplifiers, and a printer.  Software is provided to 
facilitate the use of these components.  The PREDICTOR I is designed to give 
the physician a flexible tool for the research setting as well as for 
clinical use.          

    EPSOFT-TM- SOFTWARE LIBRARY 

        ART's research and development staff has recently developed 
breakthrough digital signal processing techniques to enhance the overall 
analytical power of the SAECG test.  Two such new developments are the 
IntraSpect-TM- and Early Potential Analysis software packages.

        IntraSpect-TM- permits visualization and quantification of electrical 
fragmentation within the entire QRS complex (entire ventricular 
depolarization cycle), using individual-lead Acceleration Spectrum Analysis 
(ASA).  Hence, micropotential detection is no longer limited to the "late 
potential" region.  Furthermore, patients with conduction delay problems 
(i.e. "bundle branch block") can have SAECG analysis performed on them.  This 
covers 25% of a patient population which previously could not be analyzed 
with SAECG.  

        The Early Potential Analysis software has been designed specifically 
for P wave-triggered SAECG acquisition and analysis and is used as a research 
tool in assessing patients at risk for atrial fibrillation and flutter.  ART 
continues to offer other optional post-processing signal averaging software 
packages for the 1200 EPX and LP-Pac Q, including Cal-ABS-TM- Plus software 
for individual lead time domain analysis and FFT-Plus-TM- spectral temporal 
mapping software; and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) software for the 1200EPX.  
These optional signal-averaging software packages are not approved by the FDA 
and are for research purposes, not clinical diagnosis. 

        ART also offers the PREDICTOR Heart Rate Variability ECG software 
("PREDICTOR HRVECG"), which is marketed under a 510(k) granted by the FDA in 
1989.  PREDICTOR HRVECG provides time and frequency domain mathematical tools 
for the non-invasive assessment of R wave to R wave in sequential QRS 
complexes.  PREDICTOR HRVECG can be used alone or in conjunction with a 
PREDICTOR I, PREDICTOR IIc, and LP-Pac Q signal-averaging systems.

        Software upgrades are provided at no charge to customers with systems 
under warranty.  Sales of post-processing software products were not material 
to the Company's business in 1995.

K3 CATH-LAB

        In November 1995, ART signed a four and one-half year agreement ("the 
Agreement") with Astro-Med, Inc. ("Astro-Med"), to exclusively distribute its 
family of proprietary K3 Cardiac Catheterization products (K3 Cath-Lab).  The 
Agreement may be terminated by the Manufacturer, at the discretion of 
Manufacturer on ninety (90) days' written notice, at the end of a 
then-current contract year in the event Buyer does not meet certain minimum 
sales requirements set forth in the agreement. Astro-Med is a manufacturer of 
specialty printer systems and related equipment which display, monitor, 
analyze and print data for aerospace, industrial and medical applications.  
The Astro-Med K3 Cath-Lab is an advanced hemodynamics system for use in a 
standard hospital Cath-Lab.  The K3 is designed to produce complete 
hemodynamic analysis and comprehensive reports, including chronological logs, 
preliminary findings, full inventory control reports, letter generation and 
medical records, in a simplified drop-down menu format.  The FDA issued a 
510(k) in November 1994, which allows the K3 to be sold to the medical 
community in the United States.  Astro-Med is a publicly traded company 
listed on the NASDAQ National Market System under the symbol ALOT.  

ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY PRODUCTS

    CARDIOLAB

        The CardioLab was introduced and received a 510(k) from the FDA in 
early 1991.  The CardioLab is a computerized recording and analysis system 
used by electrophysiologists in the diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmias.  
The CardioLab is used in conjunction with a stimulator and catheters inserted 
through a blood vessel, allowing an electrophysiologist to electronically 
induce, monitor, record, analyze and treat arrhythmias under controlled 
conditions.  The CardioLab records cardiac electrical activity which is 
amplified, digitized and transmitted to a computer for real time analysis and 
display on a high resolution color graphics monitor or laser printer.  
Because the CardioLab can be used to accurately detect the presence and 
location of diseased or damaged heart tissue, in some cases, a procedure can 
be performed less invasively via catheter, as compared to open heart 
exploratory surgery, to treat the condition.

        The CardioLab components include an amplifier, computer, monitor and 
printer.  These hardware components are manufactured by various suppliers and 
are, to a large extent, interchangeable.  The CardioLab has a list price of 
$108,950 to $181,000, depending upon the configuration of the system 
purchased.  The CardioLab is manufactured by Prucka Engineering, Inc. of 
Houston and distributed exclusively by ART until December 31, 1996 pursuant 
to an agreement dated April 1, 1994.  During 1997, ART will receive a 4% 
commission on net sales of CardioLab systems and accessories sold anywhere in 
the world, up to a ceiling of $10,000,000 in total annual net sales. During 
1998, ART will receive a commission of 4% on CardioLab systems 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.  

    CARDIOMAPP

        The CardioMapp was introduced and received a 510(k) from the FDA in 
November 1989.  The CardioMapp is a computerized cardiac mapping system used 
during open heart surgery to assist surgeons in locating and treating 
electrical malfunctions of the heart.  The system uses several types of 
electrode arrays placed on the heart to monitor and record cardiac electrical 
activity.  The electrical activity is amplified, digitized and transmitted to 
a computer for real-time analysis and display in the operating room during 
surgery on a high resolution color graphics display or color printer.  The 
graphics display, or map, is presented to the surgeon within one to two 
minutes after the data is recorded.

        The CardioMapp components include fiber optic cable and electrodes, 
an amplifier, junction box, computer, monitor and printer.  The CardioMapp 
has a list price of $125,000 to $155,000, depending upon the configuration of 
the system purchased. The CardioMapp is manufactured by Prucka Engineering, 
Inc. of Houston and distributed exclusively by ART until December 31, 1996 
pursuant to an agreement dated April 1, 1994.  During 1997, ART will receive 
commissions on net sales of CardioMapp systems and accessories sold anywhere 
in the world, up to a ceiling of $10,000,000 in total net sales.   

SENSORS AND SNAPS

    SILVER/SILVER CHLORIDE-PLATED SENSOR ELEMENTS

        Micron is a manufacturer and distributor of silver/silver 
chloride-plated sensor elements for use in the manufacture of disposable 
electrodes for ECG diagnostic, monitoring and related instrumentation.

        The disposable electrode has proven to be more accurate and reliable 
than the reusable electrodes available in the market.  Additionally, 
disposable electrodes are faster and easier to use as compared to reusable 
electrodes, which require cleaning after each use.  As a result, the 
disposable electrode has replaced the reusable electrode in many 
applications.  A disposable electrode generally consists of an adhesive for 
attachment to the patient's body, a gel to insure maximum signal acquisition, 


                                      5



a conductor or snap for attachment to the transfer wires and the sensor 
element.  The type of sensor element manufactured by Micron consists of a 
molded plastic substrate plated with a silver/silver chloride surface which 
is a highly sensitive conductor of electrical signals.  Silver/silver 
chloride-plated disposable electrodes are utilized in coronary care units and 
for other monitoring purposes.  In most of these ECG procedures, up to ten 
electrodes are used and after each test, all such electrodes are discarded.

        In addition to the traditional ECG tests, disposable electrodes 
incorporating Micron's sensor elements are used in connection with the stress 
and "Holter" tests.  The Holter test utilizes a portable ECG heart monitoring 
device that is worn by a patient for up to 24 hours during the patient's 
normal activity and is designed to record data from the patient's heart.  The 
stress test monitors the human heart during rest followed by exercise and 
again at rest.  Both the Holter and stress tests employ disposable 
silver/silver chloride disposable electrodes.

        In February, 1991, Micron entered into a non-exclusive world-wide 
distribution agreement with a manufacturer of metal snap fasteners used to 
attach the disposable electrode to the lead wires of the ECG machine.  As a 
component of the finished silver/silver chloride disposable electrode, the 
snaps are sold to some of the same customers that use Micron's sensor 
elements.  Micron purchases finished snap fasteners from its supplier, 
performs quality control procedures and repackages the snaps for shipment to 
customers.  Snap shipments are often included along with Micron's sensor 
shipment to a customer.  While Micron is attempting to increase the market 
penetration of this product, there can be no guarantee that the snap fastener 
product line will produce increased revenues or profits in future periods.  

The following table shows sales of sensors and snaps by Micron for the years 
ended December 31:

                          ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION

        Like many industrial processes, the Micron manufacturing process 
utilizes hazardous and non-hazardous chemicals, the treatment and disposal of 
which are subject to federal and state regulation. Since its inception, 
Micron has expended significant funds to train its personnel, install waste 
treatment and recovery equipment and to retain an independent environmental 
consulting firm to constantly review, monitor and upgrade its air and waste 
water treatment activities.  As a result, Micron believes that the operation 
of its manufacturing facility is in compliance with currently applicable 
safety, health and environmental laws and regulations.

GROUNDWATER

        During September 1992, as a requirement for obtaining a mortgage to 
repurchase its Fitchburg, Massachusetts manufacturing facility, Micron 
performed an environmental 21-E Site Assessment.  A 21-E Site Assessment 
includes an analysis of ground water samples for the presence of certain 
petroleum based products, metals and solvents.  The analysis detected levels 
of petroleum products and metals in excess of the minimum allowable 
standards.   Micron filed a release report and a Preliminary Assessment and 
Interim Site Classification form with the Massachusetts Department of 
Environmental Protection ("DEP").  The DEP classified the site as a disposal 
site within the meaning of the Massachusetts Oil and Hazardous Material 
Release Prevention and Response Act  and identified Micron as a potentially 
responsible party with liability.

        On January 21, 1993, Micron filed its Phase I Limited Site 
Investigation and Waiver Application ("Application").  The Application 
contained an historical overview of past uses of the site and its surrounding 
area.  The facility is located in the center of a heavily developed 
industrial area and use of the site and surrounding properties predates the 
early 1900's.  Micron has occupied the site from 1982 to the present.  The 
Application identified several potential off-site sources for the discharge 
and demonstrated that none of the types of chemicals found on the property 
are used in the Micron manufacturing process.  During February, 1993, the 
representatives of  the DEP visited the site.  On February 18, 1993, the DEP 
classified the site as a non-priority disposal site and granted Micron's 
waiver application with the stipulation that Micron evaluate the upgradient, 
off-site sources which may have caused the contamination.


                                        6



        As a condition of the waiver approved by the DEP, Micron was required 
to prepare a five-year plan of remediation for the property.  Micron retained 
an environmental consulting firm to organize, design, and implement a plan of 
remediation and to represent Micron in its dealings with the regulatory 
authorities.  Initial Phase II activities were undertaken in 1993, including 
drilling two borings and installing three monitoring wells.  In 1994, an 
elevation and location survey was conducted on the monitoring wells.  This 
data was used in conjunction with the depth to groundwater in each of the 
wells to construct a groundwater contour plan.  The groundwater contour plan 
is used to estimate the rate and direction of groundwater movement.  In 1995, 
permeability testing was conducted on the monitoring wells.  This data is 
used in evaluating the transport of contaminants via groundwater.  Additional 
Phase II activities, which will be conducted over approximately the next two 
years, will likely include further site history data collection, review and 
evaluation; evaluation of upgradient potential sources as required by the DEP 
waiver; additional soil sample collection to further define source areas; 
groundwater monitoring, report and required document preparation; risk 
assessment; and regulatory agency coordination.  Upon the completion of Phase 
II activities Micron will apply for final approval and clearance from the 
DEP.  The Massachusetts Contingency Plan allows closure of sites only after a 
condition of "no significant risk" is demonstrated.  If the DEP determines 
that the Company needs to implement the last phase of remediation (Phase 
III), the Company could incur approximately $200,000 of clean-up costs to 
remove contaminated property as estimated by the environmental engineering 
firm hired to represent the Company in its dealings with the DEP. Although 
the ultimate outcome is uncertain until Phase II is completed, as of December 
31, 1995, the engineering firm and management of the Company believe that 
Phase III remediation will not be required.

        Prior to its acquisition by the Company, Micron recorded a charge 
against earnings of $233,000 to cover estimated costs associated with site 
monitoring and remediation through Phase II.  Prior to December 31, 1992, 
Micron  incurred costs of $60,600 on site analysis and preparation of the 
site assessment and waiver application.  During 1995, 1994, and 1993 Micron 
spent approximately $24,900, $14,000, and $58,000, respectively, for site 
assessment, monitoring, and remediation.  At December 31, 1995, the accrued 
liabilities include approximately $75,200 to cover the estimated future costs 
associated with site monitoring and remediation. Management estimates that 
these costs could approximate from $65,000 to $360,000 depending upon the 
final decision by the DEP.

        Micron may seek recovery from other responsible parties if the source 
of the ground water pollution can be identified.  However the likelihood of 
the collection of damages cannot be evaluated at this time.

OPERATIONS

        During 1995, Micron spent approximately $139,000, of which 
approximately $5,000 was capitalized at December 31, 1995, on an extensive 
program to evaluate its manufacturing process, employee training, health and 
safety programs, air and waste water treatment systems, and to ensure 
compliance with current and future federal, state and local regulations, as 
well as to evaluate the adequacy of such systems to facilitate future growth. 
Certain of the above expenditures are classified as "one time" charges while 
others are normal recurring expenses associated with industrial producers in 
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  The capitalized costs relate to 
expenditures to improve the efficiency of the manufacturing process and to 
help mitigate or prevent possible future environmental contamination.  Such 
costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives of five years.

        Using the results of the study, Micron expects to undertake a 
manufacturing process and air and waste water treatment redesign.  The actual 
redesign, which will take place over the next two years, will require the 
purchase of capital equipment to upgrade, augment or replace existing 
manufacturing and waste treatment equipment.  All such expenditures are 
expected to be financed through an equipment capital lease arrangement.  The 
Company expects to spend up to approximately $480,000 in total for such 
capital improvements.  It is expected that Micron will benefit from a certain 
level of improved efficiency and savings related to recovery and recycling of 
water, silver and other chemicals to help offset some of the costs of the 
improvements.

                                   GENERAL

CUSTOMERS AND SALES

        ART sells its electrocardiographic, cardiac catheterization, and 
electrophysiology products primarily to hospitals where purchasing decisions 
are typically made on the advice of physicians affiliated with such 
hospitals.  ART's sales cycle, which generally commences at the time a 
hospital issues a request for proposal and ends upon submission of a purchase 
order, may take up to nine months.  ART generally fills orders within 
approximately 30 days of receipt of customer orders for electrocardiographic 
products and within approximately 60-90 days for cardiac catheterization and 
electrophysiology products.  Because orders are filled shortly after receipt, 
backlog is not usually material to ART's business.


                                       7



        Micron manufactures its sensor elements against specific customer 
purchase orders in accordance with supply agreements between Micron and the 
electrode manufacturers.  There are approximately 50 significant 
manufacturers of silver/silver chloride-plated disposable electrodes 
world-wide.  Micron sells its sensor elements to most of these manufacturers. 
During the year ended December 31, 1995, three major customers accounted for 
32%, 18%, and 14% of net sales of Micron.

        The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the 
approximate consolidated net sales and percentages of net sales derived from 
sales of the Company's products in its geographic markets:

INSTALLATION AND SERVICE

    ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHIC, CARDIAC CATHETERIZATION AND ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY PRODUCTS

        INSTALLATION.  When a purchase order is received for SAECG products, 
ART or its independent sales representatives and distributors are responsible 
for installation of the systems.  The period from the time of execution of 
the purchase order until completion of installation of such system typically 
ranges from one to four weeks.  Astro-Med is responsible for installation of 
the K3 Cath-Lab at the customer location.  The period from the time of 
execution of the purchase order until completion of installation of a K3 
Cath-Lab is approximately 30-45 days.  Prucka is responsible for installation 
of the CardioMapp and CardioLab systems at the customer location.  The period 
from the time of execution of the purchase order until completion of 
installation of the electrophysiology system is approximately 90-120 days.  

        TRAINING.  Ordinarily, the sales representative provides training to 
customers in the use of SAECG products.  ART personnel are sometimes used to 
provide additional training support, as necessary.  Generally one day of 
training is provided on-site on the day of installation.  ART provides 
training for both the operation and use of the hardware and of all standard 
applications of the software.  When a K3 Cath-Lab is installed, two to four 
days of training is provided by Astro-Med and ART personnel.  In connection 
with the installation of CardioMapp and CardioLab systems, three days of 
training are provided by Prucka's personnel.

        WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE.  ART provides a one-year warranty which 
covers parts and labor for all of its SAECG software and hardware products.  
Customers may renew the warranty annually at a cost of approximately $1,000 
to $2,700 depending on the service level and type of system.  The K3 Cath-Lab 
comes with a standard one-year labor and parts warranty included in the 
purchase price.  All K3 Cath-Lab repairs are made by Astro-Med personnel.  
The CardioMapp and CardioLab systems and components are serviced by Prucka 
personnel.  CardioLab and CardioMapp systems are warranted for the first year 
with annual renewals available for a fee.

    SENSORS AND SNAPS

        Micron sells its sensors and snaps to original equipment 
manufacturers of disposable electrodes who assemble the finished product.  
Micron sales, manufacturing and customer service personnel provide the 
electrode manufacturers with technical support whenever necessary.

PRODUCT SUPPLIERS AND MANUFACTURING

    ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHIC

        ART currently has limited manufacturing capabilities for its signal 
averaging products and relies upon established inventories to fill current 
sales orders.  When additional units are required, ART plans to sub-contract 
the basic unit production and perform final assembly and quality-control 
testing in-house.

    CARDIAC CATHETERIZATION SYSTEMS

        ART is dependent upon Astro-Med as the sole supplier of the K3 Cath 
Lab.


                                       8



    ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY

        ART is dependent upon Prucka as the sole supplier of CardioMapp and 
CardioLab systems. Under the distribution agreement between ART and Prucka, 
ART will continue to exclusively distribute the CardioLab and CardioMapp 
systems and accessories (the "Products") through December 31, 1996. 
Thereafter,  ART will receive royalties on Products sales through December 31, 
2002.

    SENSORS AND SNAPS

        Micron manufactures its sensor elements at its Fitchburg, 
Massachusetts facility employing a proprietary non-patented seven-step 
process.  The raw materials used by Micron in its sensors are (1) plastic 
resins used to mold the substrates and (2) silver/silver chloride chemical 
solutions for plating the molded plastic substrates.  Both the plastic used 
by Micron and the silver/silver chloride solutions are in adequate supply.  
Fluctuations in the price of silver are contractually passed on to customers. 


        During February, 1991, Micron entered into a non-exclusive world-wide 
distribution agreement for medical snap fasteners manufactured by TRW Inc. 
("TRW").  TRW later sold its entire fastener operation and Micron's medical 
snap fasteners are currently manufactured by Scovill, Inc. ("Scovill").  The 
agreement allows Micron to buy the various snap fasteners in bulk and to 
repackage and resell them to its customers.  The agreement has a provision 
for annual renewals and Micron and its supplier are cooperating to increase 
market penetration of the Scovill snap products.

MARKETING AND COMPETITION

        ART engages independent sales representatives and distributors of 
medical instruments in various regions throughout the United States and 
foreign distributors to market all of ART's products.  Sales representatives, 
who are paid on a commission basis, are generally responsible for identifying 
customers and demonstrating products in their respective geographic markets.  
ART has arrangements with 25 independent sales organizations in the United 
States, which sell ART's products. ART has arrangements with 29 foreign 
distributors who sell ART's products in most of the significant foreign 
markets.  To date, ART's independent sales organization has accounted for 
substantially all of ART's sales.  ART believes that the use of independent 
representatives and distributors, which typically specialize in specific 
products and areas and, accordingly, have specific knowledge of and contacts 
in particular markets, enhances the quality and scope of ART's marketing and 
sales efforts and permits ART to avoid the significant costs associated with 
creating a direct distribution network.  Pursuant to agreements with 
independent sales representatives and distributors, such sales force is 
prohibited from engaging in the promotion or sale of products that compete 
with ART's products.

        ART directly employs sales, marketing and management personnel who 
are responsible for making sales presentations and working in conjunction 
with independent sales representatives in marketing and selling products to 
doctors and hospitals.  ART's staff prepares advertising copy, full-color 
sales brochures, technical bulletins, reimbursement documentation, and 
sponsors training programs.  In addition, the in-house marketing department 
sets sales goals and manages the independent sales organizations as well as 
making marketing decisions with respect to present and future products.

    SAECG PRODUCTS

        ART's marketing efforts with respect to SAECG products have focused 
primarily on those hospitals with an electrophysiology laboratory and 
electrophysiologists with the ability to apply the late potential test in a 
clinical environment.  ART believes that this market segment is a relatively 
small percentage of the potential market for signal-averaging instruments.  
ART is expanding its marketing focus to include buying groups, cardiologists, 
and other physicians involved in the diagnosis of heart problems.  In the 
United States there are approximately 9,000 cardiologists certified by the 
American Board of Internal Medicine.  ART markets its SAECG products at 
regional and national trade shows in the United States and Europe.  In 
addition, ART markets its SAECG products through the use of direct mail 
campaigns to selected cardiologists.

        ART is aware of certain other companies which have developed or are 
developing technologies and products which are competitive with ART's 
products.  Other technologies or products which are functionally similar to 
ART's signal-averaging products are currently available from a number of 
competitors, including Del Mar Avionics, Marquette Electronics, Inc., and 
Hewlett-Packard Company, most of which are well established, have 
substantially greater financial and other resources than ART and have 
established reputations for success in the development, sale and service of 
products.  ART believes that its competitive advantage is based on a number 
of factors, including price, ease of use, and clinical acceptance of the 
methodology employed in ART's signal-averaging products.


                                       9



    CARDIAC CATHETERIZATION PRODUCTS

        The K3 Cath-Lab product is marketed through national trade shows in 
the United States. Additionally, ART has placed full-page advertisements in 
trade journals that have drawn an excellent response to the K3 which has 
certain major advantages over other, like products currently available. 
Competitors for the K3 include the Midas system from E for M Corp., the 
MAC-Lab/Cath Lab Manager from Marquette, Inc., the Horizon 9000 WS from 
Mennen Medical, the Q-Cath-DS from Quinton Instrument, the Cathcor C & T from 
Siemens Medical, and the Series II from Witt Biomedical.  Most of these 
competitors are well established and have substantially greater financial and 
other resources than ART.  ART believes that its competitive advantage is 
based on a number of factors, including price, ease of use, and clinical 
acceptance of the methodology employed in the K3.

       ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY PRODUCTS

        Electrophysiology products are marketed at regional and national 
trade shows in the United States and Europe, usually in conjunction with 
Prucka.  ART believes that the CardioMapp currently is competitive in terms 
of performance features and price.  Also, the CardioLab system, distributed 
by ART, faces competition from other competitors who manufacture and market 
similar products, with digital technology, including C. R. Bard, Inc. and 
Quinton Instrument Co., which have greater financial and other resources than 
ART and have established reputations in the manufacture, sale and service of 
medical instruments.  ART believes that the features and price of the 
CardioLab compare favorably with products marketed by these competitors.

        SENSORS AND SNAPS

        Micron sells its sensor elements to most major manufacturers of 
disposable silver/silver chloride ECG electrodes.  Micron employs one 
full-time salesperson for sensors and snaps.  The Company believes that it 
has two competitors for sensors and that its sales of sensors greatly exceed 
those of its competition.

ENGINEERING AND RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

        During 1995, ART's engineering and research and development efforts 
focused primarily on enhancing and improving the post-processing software 
used for SAECG equipment.  ART currently employs two engineers engaged in 
software and hardware development and one technician for customer telephone 
support, warranty repairs, and limited manufacturing.    ART also engages 
outside consultants for specific projects.  For the fiscal years ended 
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, ART expensed approximately $183,000, 
$235,000, and $196,000, respectively, in connection with engineering and 
research and development activities, which consisted principally of the 
salaries of its employees and consultants.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

        Diagnostic products such as those marketed by ART are subject to an 
extensive regulatory clearance process by the FDA and comparable agencies in 
other countries.  ART believes that the products currently marketed in the 
United States have all necessary governmental clearances required for the 
sale of such products in the United States and each of the countries in which 
its products are presently sold.  The regulatory process for diagnostic 
devices, which sometimes includes the requirements for pre-clinical and 
clinical testing, can take many years and requires the expenditure of 
substantial amounts of money.  In the event ART seeks to market new products 
or significantly modify a product currently in commercial distribution, ART 
would be required to obtain regulatory clearance.

        Federal legislation relating to medical devices could potentially 
cause compliance with the pre-market clearance and approval processes to be 
more time consuming, difficult and expensive. It is not anticipated that 
ART's products will be subject to special controls or regulation, but there 
can be no assurance that the FDA will not impose special controls or 
regulation.

THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT

        Hospitals, physicians and other health care providers that purchase 
capital or other equipment, such as the products sold by ART, for use in 
furnishing care to their patients typically rely on third-party payers, 
principally Medicare, Medicaid, and private health insurance plans, to 
reimburse all or part of the costs or fees associated with the medical 
procedures performed with such equipment, and of the capital costs of 
acquiring such equipment.  Cost control measures adopted by third-party 
payers in recent years and reductions in Medicare payments for hospital 
outpatient services and capital costs have had and may continue to have a 
significant effect on the purchasing practices of many such providers, 
generally causing them to be more selective in the purchase of medical 
equipment and to place increasing emphasis on maximizing the return on 
investment in new equipment.

        The Medicare statute prohibits payment for any items or services that 
are not reasonable and necessary for the diagnosis or treatment of illness or 
injury or to improve the functioning of a malformed body member.  During 
1995, a survey 



                                      10




conducted by the Company showed that SAECG medical tests were reimbursed 
under Part B Medicare in 49 states.  The procedures performed utilizing the 
K3 Cath-Lab, CardioLab and CardioMapp  systems are reimbursed under Part B 
Medicare in all states.  While third-party payers generally make their own 
decisions regarding which items and services to cover, Medicaid and other 
third-party payers often apply standards similar to Medicare's in determining 
whether to provide coverage for a particular medical procedure.

        ART is unable to predict the impact of additional legislation or 
regulations, if any,  which may be enacted or adopted in the future relating 
to ART's business or the health care industry, including third-party coverage 
and reimbursement.

INSURANCE

        The Company may be exposed to potential product liability claims by 
patients who use the Company's products.  ART maintains a general liability 
insurance policy, which includes product liability coverage of $1,000,000 per 
occurrence and $2,000,000 per year in the aggregate.  Micron also maintains a 
general liability insurance policy which includes product liability coverage 
of $1,000,000.  To date, there have been no asserted or threatened claims 
against the Company.  Although Company management believes the present 
insurance coverage is adequate for the types of products currently marketed 
by the Company, there can be no assurance that such insurance will be 
sufficient to cover potential claims or that the present level of coverage 
will be available in the future at a reasonable cost.

        ART has a directors and officers liability insurance policy with 
coverage in the amount of $2,000,000.

PATENTS AND PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY

    ART 

        The Simson Patent, which covers the core technology, including the 
signal-averaging and filtering technologies, on which the 1200 EPX, LP-Pac Q, 
and PREDICTOR I are based, is of material importance to ART.  ART holds an 
exclusive license for the Simson Patent, which expires in December 2000.  In 
connection with the 1200 EPX, ART is the assignee of three other U. S. 
Patents, two of which expire in July 2001 and the other in January 2002.  ART 
currently holds a non-exclusive license to a fifth U. S. Patent and has three 
patent applications pending.  ART holds foreign patents issued in Austria, 
Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, United Kingdom, Holland, Italy, 
Liechtenstein, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Germany.  ART believes that 
patent protection is important to its business and anticipates that it will 
apply for additional patents as deemed appropriate.

        As part of the acquisition of substantially all of Corazonix's assets 
in 1993, including those pertaining to high resolution ECG,  ART acquired 
four additional patents related to time and frequency domain analysis of 
electrocardiogram signals.  ART also owns two patents related to time and 
frequency domain analysis software developed by Ralph Haberl, M.D.  These 
patents were allowed in 1993 by the U.S. Patent Office, and cover the 
spectral-temporal mapping post-processing software packages sold by ART.

        Rapid technological development in the medical industry results in 
extensive patent filings and a rapid rate of issuance of new patents.  
Although ART believes that ART's products do not and will not infringe 
patents or violate proprietary rights of others, it is possible that its 
existing patent rights may not be valid or that infringement of existing or 
future patents or proprietary rights may occur.  In the event that ART's 
products infringe patents or proprietary rights of others, ART may be 
required to modify the design of its products or obtain a license.  There can 
be no assurance that ART will be able to do so in a timely manner upon 
acceptable terms and conditions.  In addition, there can be no assurance that 
ART will have the financial or other resources necessary to enforce or defend 
a patent infringement or proprietary rights violation action.  Moreover, if 
ART's products infringe patents or proprietary rights of others, ART could, 
under certain circumstances, become liable for damages, which could have a 
material adverse effect on ART.  ART does not own or have any license to any 
patents relating to the K3 Cath-Lab technology incorporated in such systems 
and is not aware of any patent or licenses to patents that Astro-Med may 
hold.  ART does not own or have any license to any patents relating to the 
CardioMapp or CardioLab instruments or technology incorporated in such 
instruments and it is not aware of any patents or licenses to patents that 
Prucka may hold.

        ART also relies on proprietary know-how and employs various methods 
to protect the source codes, concepts, ideas and documentation of its 
proprietary software.  However, such methods may not afford complete 
protection and there can be no assurance that others will not independently 
develop such know-how or obtain access to ART's know-how or software codes, 
concepts, ideas and documentation.  Furthermore, although ART has 
confidentiality agreements with its employees and appropriate vendors, there 
can be no assurance that such arrangements will adequately protect ART's 
trade secrets.

        ART is not aware of any new copyright registration or application for 
the software incorporated in the 1200 EPX, LP-Pac Q, PREDICTOR I, K3 
Cath-Lab, CardioMapp, or CardioLab.

    MICRON 

        Micron employs a highly complex, proprietary non-patented seven step 
manufacturing process for its silver/silver chloride-plated sensor elements.  
 Key employees have executed nondisclosure and non-competition agreements.  
To maintain its leadership as a major supplier of sensors and snaps to the 
manufacturers of disposable silver/silver chloride ECG electrodes, Micron 
submitted a patent application for a radiographically translucent snap that 
is manufactured from a flexible electrically conductive thermoplastic 
polymeric compound in 1995.  In early 1996, the patent for this innovative 
product was granted to Micron.  Micron has begun marketing and manufacturing 
this product.  Future increased acceptance for this product and its potential 
applications is expected.

EMPLOYEES

        ART has thirteen full-time employees, including ten administrative, 
sales, marketing and supervisory personnel, and three engineering personnel.  
Micron employs forty-one full time employees, including ten administrative, 
sales and supervisory personnel, thirteen quality control personnel and 
eighteen production personnel.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTY

        During 1995 ART leased approximately 5,700 square feet of space in an 
office building in Austin, Texas from an unaffiliated landlord with monthly 
rental payments of approximately $5,700. During 1996 ART will rent 
approximately 4,800 square feet of office space in the same building with 
monthly rental payments of approximately $6,100.

        The manufacturing facility and offices of Micron are located in an 
industrial area in Fitchburg, Massachusetts.  The facility consists of a 
22,000 square foot, six story building which was repurchased in April, 1994.  
In August 1993, Micron entered into a lease for molding and quality control 
space from an unaffiliated landlord.  During 1995, the average monthly rent 
was approximately $6,300 per month for a total of 18,800 square feet.  During 
1996, Micron will rent the 18,800 square feet at approximately $7,100 per 
month.  Micron is currently investigating the option of sub-leasing the 
molding and quality control space and entering into a lease/purchase 
transaction for a building located immediately adjacent to its six-story 
manufacturing facility.  

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS  

        As further discussed under Environmental Regulation, Micron has been 
identified as a potentially responsible party with liability by the DEP.  On 
February 18, 1993, the site was classified as a non-priority site and 
Micron's waiver application was approved.  As a condition of the waiver,  
Micron was required to prepare a five-year plan of remediation for the 
property.  Micron has retained an environmental consulting firm, and in 1995 
hired an internal consultant, to organize and implement the remediation plan 
and to represent Micron in its dealings with the regulatory authorities.   
Initial Phase II activities have been completed, including drilling two 
borings and installing three monitoring wells.  Additional Phase II 
activities will likely include further site history data collection, review 
and evaluation; evaluation of upgradient potential sources as required by the 
DEP waiver; additional soil sample collection to further redefine source 
areas; groundwater monitoring; report and required document preparation; a 
risk assessment; and regulatory agency coordination.  Upon the completion of 
Phase II activities Micron will apply for final approval and clearance from 
the DEP. The Massachusetts Contingency Plan allows closure of sites only 
after a condition of "no significant risk" is demonstrated.    

        While the waiver application has been approved, the DEP still retains 
jurisdiction and will oversee the remediation.  Should Micron not comply with 
the terms of the remediation plan, the DEP may institute a lawsuit to enforce 
a site clean-up.  Micron believes that it is currently in compliance with the 
terms of the remediation plan.

    REVENUE

        Revenue increased by approximately $5,547,000 or 32% from the year 
ended December 31, 1995 as compared to 1994.  The increase in revenues is 
attributable primarily to increased electrophysiology system sales in the 
domestic market and, to a lesser extent, an increase in sales of sensors by 
Micron.   

        Revenue decreased by approximately $416,000 or 2% from the year ended 
December 31, 1994 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1993.  Although 
revenues overall are comparable to the prior year, revenues from sales of 
electrophysiology systems declined by approximately $690,000 due primarily to 
low sales volumes domestically in the first quarter which was caused 
primarily by concern in the marketplace over possible national healthcare 
reform.  The decrease in electrophysiology systems was partially offset by 
increased unit sales of sensors and snaps of approximately $505,000.  

        Sales of signal averaging products have represented a declining 
percentage of the Company's revenue since the introduction of the CardioLab 
in 1991 and the acquisition of Micron in 1992, which resulted in a change in 
product mix.  Sales of signal-averaging products have declined in absolute 
dollars since the year ended December 31, 1990.  The Company believes that 
the current primary market for the 1200 EPX, hospitals with an 
electrophysiology laboratory, has been saturated and is looking to sell to 
non-traditional markets, primarily physician's offices and clinics, to 
increase revenues.

    COST OF SALES

        Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue increased from 77% in 1994 
to 78% in 1995.  The increase is due primarily to a contractual price 
increase by Prucka to ART for the electrophysiology products exclusively sold 
and distributed by ART on behalf of Prucka.  The cost increase for the 
electrophysiology products was partially offset by a decline in the cost of 
sales of Micron's sensor manufacturing operation.  The Company expects the 
trend of increasing costs of sales as a percentage of revenue to continue 
increasing as higher prices will be instituted under the Prucka contract. 
Additionally, 1996 will be the final year in which ART will act as the 
exclusive distributor under the Prucka contract.  In 1997 the Company will 
not report the gross revenues or the related cost of sales for CardioLab and 
CardioMapp products which approximated $13,672,000 and $12,139,000 for the 
year ended December 31, 1995, and $8,743,000 and $7,041,000 for the year 
ended December 31, 1994.    

        Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue increased from 63% in 1993 
to 77% in 1994.  The increase is due principally to electrophysiology product 
sales under the exclusive distribution agreement signed with Prucka, 
effective April 1, 1994.  The agreement calls for Prucka to perform more of 
the marketing responsibilities related to the CardioLab and CardioMapp and, 
in return, ART is required to purchase the products at a higher cost.  
Additionally, during 1994, cost of sales for sensors increased due to higher 
production costs, mainly environmental and raw material (chemical and resins) 
costs, which the Company was unable to pass on to its customers.

                                       15



    SELLING AND MARKETING

        Selling and marketing expenses declined to 2% of sales in 1995 as 
compared to 6% of sales in 1994.  The decline is attributable to the large 
increase in electrophysiology sales under the Prucka contract without any 
associated selling or marketing overhead costs.  ART restructured its 
marketing department in late 1994, which resulted in significant dollar 
savings in 1995.  Additionally, during part of 1995 several key marketing 
positions were vacant for several months.  During 1996, selling and marketing 
costs are expected to remain consistent with 1995 amounts.

        Selling and marketing expenses declined to 6% of sales in 1994 as 
compared to 13% in 1993. The decline was primarily attributable to the new 
distribution agreement with Prucka.  The agreement specifies that Prucka will 
pay for the expenses related to marketing the electrophysiology products, 
principally commissions, sales personnel, and trade shows, which ART paid in 
prior years.

    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

        General and administrative expenses decreased to $2,150,000 and 9% of 
sales for the year ended December 31, 1995 from $2,393,000 and 14% for the 
year ended December 31, 1994.  The decrease in terms of dollars is due 
principally to the fulfillment of an employment agreement with a former 
officer of the corporation in December 1994, a decline in bad debt expense 
and legal expenses.  The percentage decline is due to the large increase in 
electrophysiology sales without any additional overhead incurred by the 
Company as noted above.  The Company expects 1996 general and administrative 
expenses to remain consistent  with 1995.  

        General and administrative expenses increased to $2,393,000 and 14% 
of sales for the year ended December 31, 1994 from $1,870,000 and 11% for the 
year ended December 31, 1993.  The increase was due primarily to a severance 
package paid to a former officer of the corporation, increased legal 
expenses, increased personnel costs, increased patent amortization costs, and 
increased bad debt expense, all of which totaled approximately $483,000.

        RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

        Research and Development costs as a percent of sales have remained 
comparable for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, 
respectively.  The decrease in gross dollars from 1995 as compared to 1994 is 
due to the Company's termination of payments for consultants under old 
agreements.  The increase in amount  from 1994 to 1993 is due to the hiring 
of an additional engineer at the beginning of 1994 to assist with the 
increased workload from the purchase of additional signal-averaging products 
from Corazonix in 1993.  Research and development costs are expected to 
remain comparable in the coming year.  Research and development costs have 
not been material to the operations of Micron.

    WRITE-DOWN OF ASSETS

        In September, 1994, the Company recorded a charge against earnings of 
approximately $2,973,000, consisting principally of the write-down of certain 
intangibles and allowance for slow-moving inventory.  The write-down of 
intangibles of approximately $1,690,000, consisted primarily of patent costs 
related to the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Corazonix in 
November, 1993 and patent infringement litigation incurred by ART to defend 
its signal-averaging patents.  In general, sales of signal-averaging products 
have declined since 1990.  The Company's management believes that the primary 
market for its signal-averaging patented products has become saturated. The 
Company is focusing its marketing efforts on secondary markets; however, the 
ultimate ability of the Company to successfully sell its signal-averaging 
products within such markets is unknown.  As a result, the patent acquisition 
and defense costs were written-off to an amount that is recoverable over the 
remaining life of the patents based on estimated sales levels and 
undiscounted operating income projections.  These projections are 
management's best estimates based on historical data and trends.  Other 
charges total approximately $1,283,000 consisting primarily of allowance for 
slow-moving inventories of signal-averaging products, principally those 
purchased under the Corazonix manufacturing agreement (see below), certain 
parts inventory and other inventory deemed to be significantly impaired.  No 
further write-downs to patent assets or increases in inventory reserves were 
made in 1995 and none are expected in the foreseeable future. 

        In connection with the Company's ongoing acquisition program, the 
Company advanced $545,679 to or on behalf of Phoenix Polymers, Inc. 
("Phoenix") as of December 31, 1994.  The advances were supported by two 
promissory notes with interest accruing at 8% per annum.  The notes were 
collateralized by a first lien and security interest in all business assets 
and technology of the entity.  The notes are convertible, at the Company's 
option, into 40% of Phoenix's outstanding common stock.  In 1993, the Company 
entered into certain capital lease obligations on behalf of Phoenix for 
equipment used by Phoenix totaling approximately $291,000.  In December 1994, 
the Company's Board of Directors voted to terminate its potential acquisition 
of Phoenix.  The Company recorded a charge against 1994 earnings of 
approximately $778,000 as an allowance for losses related to the advances and 
equipment lease obligations, net of estimated proceeds to be obtained from 
the sale of the equipment.  In August 1995, Phoenix was put into receivership 
by its creditors and ceased operations. As a secured creditor, Micron 
obtained possession of Phoenix's primary assets including the leased 
equipment 

                                       16



and certain patents relating to Phoenix's proprietary plastics manufacturing 
processes. Micron management is currently searching for a buyer for the 
assets.  No further write-downs are contemplated as management believes the 
current allowance is adequate.

    INTEREST EXPENSE

        Interest expense increased to approximately $263,000 for 1995 as 
compared to $244,000 in 1994.  The increase is due primarily to the interest 
due on the bonds in 1995.  The majority of the interest costs incurred by the 
Company stem from its borrowings under its line(s) of credit.            


        Interest expense increased to approximately $244,000 for 1994 as 
compared to $160,000 in 1993.  The increase is due to higher interest rates 
in 1994 and higher balances carried on (i) ART's $1,500,000 revolving credit 
facility with a financial institution used to finance inventory and accounts 
receivable, (ii)  Micron's $1,000,000 line of credit facility with a bank 
used to finance inventory and accounts receivable, and (iii) interest expense 
on capital equipment leased for use by Phoenix.  

    ACQUISITIONS EXPENSE

        In August 1994, the Company elected to terminate acquisition 
discussions with Lite Tech, L.P.  In connection with the potential 
acquisition, the Company had deferred advances and related costs.  Due to the 
termination of acquisition negotiations, the Company expensed approximately 
$164,000 to write-off the previously deferred advances and related 
acquisition costs.  

        The Company expensed $86,189 during the year ended December 31, 1993 
related to terminated acquisition efforts of Professional Catheter 
Corporation, a catheter manufacturer.

    INCOME (LOSS)  AND TAXES ON INCOME

        The Company had income before income taxes of approximately 
$1,943,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to a loss before 
income taxes of $3,784,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994.  The 
increase in income in 1995 is due primarily to the restructuring of the ART 
operations in late 1994 and the lack of significant write-downs of assets 
that the company experienced in 1994.    

        The Company had a loss before income taxes of approximately 
($3,784,000) for the year ended December 31, 1994 as compared to income 
before income taxes of $2,088,000 for the year ended December 31, 1993.  The 
decrease in income is attributable primarily to (i) the write-down of assets; 
(ii) the new CardioLab/CardioMapp distribution agreement, effective April 1, 
1994, which resulted in lower margins, however, the Company did not 
substantially restructure its operations to comply with the new contract 
until September, 1994; and (iii) increased production costs for sensors which 
could not be passed on to customers.

        For the year ended December 31, 1995 taxes on income approximate the 
statutory rate paid by the Company.  The rate is higher than the federal 
maximum rate of 34% due to the Massachusetts state income tax of 9% on 
Micron's earnings.  For the year ended December 31, 1994 the Company received 
a tax benefit of approximately $309,000.  The Company did not record a 
current benefit on the write-down of assets related to the intangible assets 
and inventory reserves due to the specific tax rules governing such 
write-downs and reserves.

        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        The Company had working capital of approximately $2,803,000 and 
$1,149,000 and cash and cash equivalents of approximately $398,000 and 
$23,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The Company has 
improved its liquidity and working capital due primarily to the restructuring 
of the ART operations in late 1994 which significantly helped the Company's 
return to profitability in 1995.

        In November 1995, the Company obtained funding for a consolidated 
$3.5 million working capital line of credit and a $375,000 term loan with a 
bank.  The line of credit is collateralized by the accounts receivable and 
inventory of  ART and Micron and bears interest at prime plus .75%.  The 
consolidated working capital line of credit replaced the individual lines of 
credit maintained by ART and Micron.  Previously, the individual lines of 
credit maintained by the parent and it subsidiary hampered the Company's 
ability to maximize its credit-worthiness to meet its liquidity needs.  The 
new working capital line of credit originally matured October 31, 1996, 
however, the maturity has been extended to September 30, 1997. The new 
working capital line of credit is expected to enhance profitability and 
improve financial flexibility and liquidity.

        In August 1995, the Company completed a $600,000 private bond 
placement.  The bonds are subordinated to the bank, carry an 11% interest 
rate, and are payable in 5 years.  ART issued the bondholders an aggregate 
of 279,000 warrants to purchase ART stock at $3.00 per share as part of the 
private placement.  The warrants expire 5 years from the date of the bond.  
The bond proceeds were used to help ART meet common stock  repurchase 
commitments and to provide working capital for new product acquisitions and 
development.  

                                       17




         In September 1995, ART repurchased 48,958 shares of its common stock 
at $7.90 a share from a shareholder pursuant to a settlement agreement in 
connection with the purchase of Micron by the Company in 1992.  The funds 
required to meet the repurchase obligation were obtained from cash on hand 
from the bond proceeds.  The Company intends to hold the shares in treasury 
at this time.  An additional 16,566 shares were repurchased in the fourth 
quarter at a price of $7.13 per share.  The funds required to repurchase the 
shares were drawn under the Company's working capital line of credit.  The 
shares are held in treasury and are not expected to be retired. 

        During the third quarter of 1995, eight employees were granted 
options to purchase an aggregate of 130,000 shares of Company common stock 
for $3.00 pursuant to the 1987 Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan").  Under 
the Option Plan, options become exercisable commencing one year form the date 
of grant at the rate of 20% of the total granted per year and expire ten 
years form the date of grant.  Under the Option Plan the exercise price is 
the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant.  
Additionally, at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders options to purchase an 
aggregate of 29,000 shares of Company common stock outside of the Option Plan 
for $3.00 were granted to two officers of the Company by shareholder vote.  
The market price at the date of grant approximated $3.00.  Twenty-five 
percent of the shares vested immediately and the remainder vest at 
twenty-five percent on each anniversary date, until fully vested.  

        Net cash provided by operating activities for 1995, 1994, and 1993 
was approximately $1,175,000, $12,000, and $210,000, respectively.  The 
increase in cash provided by operations was due primarily to the increase in 
net income during 1995.  The decrease in cash provided by operating 
activities in 1994 as compared to 1993 was caused by a large decline in 
operating profits and large inventory purchases which were partially offset 
by collections on accounts receivable.

        Net cash used in investing activities in 1995 was approximately 
$232,000, principally as a result of expenditures on capital equipment for 
Micron's manufacturing facility partially offset by the proceeds received 
from the sales of investments and capital equipment.  Net cash used in 
investing activities in 1994 was approximately $277,000 stemming from 
Micron's additional cash advances to Phoenix and purchase of capital 
equipment of approximately $535,000 offset by proceeds from the sale of 
investments.

        Capital expenditures during 1995 and 1994 were due primarily to 
Micron's need to upgrade and maintain its manufacturing equipment and 
facilities.  During 1995, the Company's capital expenditures were funded from 
operating cash flows.  Micron management is currently investigating the 
option of entering into a lease/purchase transaction for a building located 
immediately adjacent to its six-story manufacturing facility.  Additionally, 
during 1996 Micron expects to enter into a significant equipment capital 
lease for a new water filtration system due to increased environmental 
requirements.

        As discussed under Environmental Regulation, Micron had approximately 
$75,200 and $100,000 accrued at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, to 
cover estimated costs to be incurred related to site assessment, monitoring, 
and remediation.  Management estimates that these costs could approximate 
from $65,000 to $360,000 depending upon the final decision by the DEP.

        During 1995 and 1994, Micron spent approximately $139,000 and 
$270,000, of which approximately $5,000 and $110,000, was capitalized at 
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, on an extensive program to evaluate 
its manufacturing process, employee training, health and safety programs, air 
and waste water treatment systems, and to ensure compliance with current and 
future federal, state and local regulations as well as to evaluate the 
adequacy of such systems to facilitate future growth.  The capitalized 
expenditures are related to future benefits as described below, whereas the 
other environmental costs expensed during 1995 and 1994 are normal recurring 
expenses associated with industrial producers in the Commonwealth of 
Massachusetts.  Using the results of the study, Micron expects to undertake a 
manufacturing process and air and waste water treatment redesign.  The actual 
redesign, which will take place over the next two years, will require the 
purchase of capital equipment to upgrade, augment or replace existing 
manufacturing and waste treatment equipment.  All such expenditures are 
expected to be funded from operating cash flow.  The Company expects to spend 
approximately $480,000 for such capital improvements.  It is expected that 
Micron will benefit from a certain level of improved efficiency and savings 
related to recovery and recycling of water, silver and other chemicals to 
help offset some of the costs of the improvements. (See Environmental 
Regulation and Note 11 to the Financial Statements.)   

        Net cash used in financing activities during 1995 totaled 
approximately $567,000, principally as a result of repurchases of redeemable 
common stock totaling $505,000 and  repayment of debt of $773,000 offset by 
the receipt of proceeds from a $600,000 private bond placement and $68,000 in 
cash received from the exercise of stock options.  Net cash provided by 
financing activities for 1994 totaled approximately $99,000, principally a 
result of borrowings under the revolving lines of credit of approximately 
$589,000 and proceeds under notes payable of $253,000 which were offset by 
principal payments on long-term debt of approximately $442,000 and the 
purchase of treasury stock totaling approximately $364,000.

principles, see Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, appearing 
elsewhere herein.

                      REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholders
Arrhythmia Research Technology, Inc.

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of 
Arrhythmia Research Technology, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1995, 
and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in 
shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period 
ended December 31, 1995.  These financial statements are the responsibility 
of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on 
these financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted 
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the 
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements 
are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test 
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial 
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used 
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the 
overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide 
a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present 
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of 
Arrhythmia Research Technology, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1995 
and 1994, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash 
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in 
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

              ARRHYTHMIA RESEARCH TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

        Arrhythmia Research Technology, Inc. ("ART") is engaged in marketing 
computerized medical instruments which monitor, record and analyze electrical 
impulses of the heart to detect and aid in the treatment of potentially 
lethal arrhythmias.  Micron Products Inc. ("Micron"), a wholly-owned 
subsidiary, is a manufacturer of silver/silver chloride-plated sensor 
elements, a component used in the manufacture of disposable medical 
electrodes designed for electrocardiograph (ECG) and other instrumentation.  
Micron also acts as a distributor of metal snap fasteners, another component 
used in the manufacture of disposable medical electrodes.

2.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION   The consolidated financial statements 
include the accounts of ART and its wholly-owned subsidiary (collectively the 
"Company").  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated 
in consolidation.

        REVENUE   Revenue from product sales is recognized upon shipment of 
the product.  Revenue from the sale of extended warranties is deferred and 
amortized ratably over the life of the warranty.

        INVESTMENTS   In May, 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board 
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, 
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities".  A 
significant provision of this statement is the change in accounting and 
reporting for certain investments in debt securities and equity securities.  
These securities shall be classified into one of three categories:  
held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading. Held-to-maturity securities 
will be measured at amortized cost and available-for-sale and trading 
securities shall be measured at fair value.  Unrealized holding gains and 
losses for trading securities shall be included in earnings.  Unrealized 
holding gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are excluded from 
earnings and reported net of deferred taxes in a separate component of 
shareholders' equity until realized.  Realized gains and losses are computed 
on a specific identified cost basis and are included in current period 
income.  The Company adopted and implemented SFAS No. 115 effective January 1, 
1994. 

        INVENTORIES   Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  
Cost of finished goods inventory of electrocardiographic products is 
determined using the specific identification method. Cost of inventories at 
Micron is determined by the first-in, first-out method.

        CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK   Financial instruments which 
potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk, as defined 
by SFAS No. 105, consist primarily of trade accounts receivable and temporary 
cash investments.

        ART's customer base for electrocardiographic and electrophysiology 
products is primarily comprised of hospitals and to a much lesser extent of 
cardiologists and office based practitioners. Micron products are sold to 
manufacturers of disposable electrodes,  who are typically large diversified 
medical product manufacturers.  The Company does not generally require 
collateral for its sales however the Company believes that its terms of sale 
provide adequate protection against significant credit risk.

        It is the Company's policy to place its temporary investments in high 
quality mutual funds, marketable equity securities and municipal revenue 
bonds.  The Company does not believe significant credit risk exists with 
respect to these securities.

        PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT   Property, plant and equipment are 
recorded at cost and include expenditures which substantially extend their 
useful lives.  

        Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated using the 
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred. 
 When equipment is retired or sold, the resulting gain or loss is reflected 
in earnings.

        GOODWILL   The excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair 
value of net assets of businesses acquired is amortized over 20 years using 
the straight-line method.  The Company periodically reviews goodwill by 
acquired business to assess recoverability based on future operating 
projections.  Impairments would be recognized in operating results if a 
permanent diminution in value were to occur on an undiscounted basis.

        PATENTS   Direct costs to acquire patent technology and legal costs 
associated with securing and defending patents are capitalized and amortized 
using the straight-line method over the remaining useful life of the patents. 
The Company periodically reviews its patent assets to assess recoverability 
based on future undiscounted projected earnings from operations.  Impairments 
are recognized in operating results when a permanent diminution in value 
occurs (see Note 9).

                                       25





        SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS  Certain software development costs 
incurred subsequent to establishment of technological feasibility are 
capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over the three-year 
estimated economic life of the product.  Amortization commences when the 
product is available for general release.  Costs to establish the 
technological feasibility of the product are expensed as research and 
development.  Amortization of software development costs amounted to $42,409, 
$47,904, and $36,473 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, 
respectively.

        ACQUISITION EXPENSES   Acquisition costs are deferred until the 
related acquisition is completed, at which time such costs are included in 
the total acquisition costs which are allocated to the net assets acquired.  
Deferred acquisition costs related to unsuccessful acquisitions are charged 
to expense in the period such acquisition is considered terminated.

        INCOME TAXES   The Company accounts for income taxes  in accordance 
with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires recognition 
of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax 
consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or 
tax returns.  Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are 
determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax 
basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the 
year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

        STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS   For purposes of the statement of cash 
flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments  and 
certificates of deposit purchased with original maturities of three months or 
less to be cash equivalents.

        EARNINGS PER SHARE   Earnings per share is calculated dividing the 
net income by the weighted average number of common shares and common share 
equivalents outstanding during the year.  

        RECLASSIFICATIONS   Certain reclassifications were made to the 1993 
and 1994 financial statements to conform to the 1995 presentation.

        USE OF ESTIMATES   The preparation of financial statements in 
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management 
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets 
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the 
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and 
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these 
estimates.

        FUTURE CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES   In March 1995, the FASB 
issued SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and 
for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of", effective for fiscal years 
beginning after December 15, 1995. SFAS No. 121 requires that entities review 
long-lived assets, certain intangibles and goodwill for possible impairment 
whenever circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not 
be recoverable. SFAS No. 121 also requires that long-lived assets and certain 
intangibles to be disposed of be reported at the lower of carrying amount or 
fair value less cost to sell. Implementation of SFAS No. 121 is not expected 
to have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of 
operation.

        In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for 
Stock-Based Compensation", effective for fiscal years beginning after 
December 15, 1995. SFAS No. 123 allows entities to adopt the fair value based 
methods of accounting for stock compensation or continue under current 
accounting practices. Entities electing to remain with the current method of 
accounting must make pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per 
share as if the fair value based method of accounting in this Statement has 
been applied. The Company has not yet determined which method it will adopt, 
or the potential impact on future earnings should it elect the fair value 
method of accounting for stock options.

3.  ACQUISITIONS ACTIVITY

LITE TECH, L.P.

        In August 1994, the Company elected to terminate acquisition 
discussions with Lite Tech, L.P.  The Company had entered into a letter of 
intent with Lite Tech, L.P. to acquire certain assets and assume certain 
liabilities in a transaction valued at approximately $2,000,000 in cash and 
common stock.  In connection with the potential acquisition, the Company had 
deferred advances and related costs.  Due to the termination of acquisition 
negotiations, the Company expensed approximately $164,000 during 1994 to 
write-off the previously deferred advances and related acquisition costs.  As 
of December 31, 1995, the Company, through its Micron subsidiary, has a note 
receivable from Lite-Tech, in the amount of $92,000, for an initial 
good-faith deposit.  The note receivable is secured by a first lien and 
security interest on Lite-Tech's accounts receivable.  Management believes 
that the advances are adequately collateralized and fully recoverable.

CORAZONIX CORPORATION 

        In November 1993, the Company acquired substantially all of the 
assets of Corazonix Corporation ("Corazonix") for approximately $445,000 in 
cash, settlement of an outstanding promissory note originated by Corazonix 
and purchased by the Company in the amount of $110,000, and 77,687 shares of 
the Company's common stock valued at $695,000.  The acquisition was made 
pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated July 9, 1993 and Corazonix's 
First Modified Plan of 

                                       26




Reorganization and First Modified Disclosure Statement which were filed in 
connection with the action entitled "Re: Corazonix Corporation in the 
Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Oklahoma, Chapter 11 Bankruptcy 
No. 93-11214BH."  The acquisition was accounted for using purchase 
accounting.  The primary assets of value purchased by ART are four patents 
utilized in the Corazonix products; accordingly, the difference between 
Corazonix' carrying value of the assets acquired and the purchase price paid 
of $1,277,402 was recorded as patent costs.  In 1994, due to the inability of 
the Company to successfully market the patented products and the uncertainty 
regarding future sales, the Company charged off the carrying value of such 
patents against 1994 earnings.

        Concurrent with the acquisition of Corazonix's assets the Company 
entered into a manufacturing agreement with Corazonix which provided for the 
manufacture of the PREDICTOR I line of signal averaged ECG devices (the 
"Agreement").    In November 1994, the Company executed an amendment to the 
Agreement with Corazonix (the "Amendment").  The renegotiation of the 
Agreement was the result of ART's desire to change the product mix and 
delivery dates under the Agreement for signal-averaging products manufactured 
by Corazonix.  Under the Amendment, ART was required to pay Corazonix 
$100,000 upon the effective date and sign a note payable in the principal 
amount of $238,000, with unequal monthly payments from $18,000 to $35,000 
through May 1995. Purchase obligations under the Agreement, including the 
note payable, totaled $895,375 for the year ended December 31, 1994.  There 
are no further purchase obligations on behalf of the Company under the 
Agreement or Amendment.

PROFESSIONAL CATHETER CORPORATION         

        The Company entered into a letter of intent to acquire Professional 
Catheter Corporation ("PCC") in 1992.  PCC was a manufacturer of high grade 
catheters, a complementary product to the CardioLab.  The Company and PCC 
were ultimately unable to agree on the terms of the potential acquisition.  
As a result, the Company and PCC agreed to terminate the letter of intent.  
The Company expensed $86,189 during the year ended December 31, 1993 to 
write-off  previously deferred costs related to this unsuccessful 
acquisition.

$80,000 and is included in other non-current assets as of December 31, 1995 
and 1994.

6.  DEBT

        In November 1995, the Company obtained a new credit facility from a 
bank which includes a $3,500,000 working capital line of credit and a 
$375,000 term loan.  The line of credit is collateralized by the accounts 
receivable and inventory of  ART and Micron and bears interest at prime plus 
 .75% (9.25% at December 31, 1995).  The working capital line of credit 
replaced the individual lines of credit maintained by ART and Micron and 
matures September 30, 1997.

        The weighted average interest rate during the year for the Company's 
credit facilities was approximately 9.3%.  The new loan agreement contains 
routine covenants which require ART to maintain certain specific financial 
ratios and limit asset acquisitions to $50,000 or less for ART and $500,000

7.  BONDS PAYABLE

        In August 1995, the Company completed a $600,000 private bond 
placement.  The bonds are subordinated to the new bank, carry an 11% interest 
rate, and are payable in five years.  

        In connection with the private bond placement, ART issued an 
aggregate of 279,000 warrants to the bondholders to purchase ART common stock 
at $3.00 per share.  The warrants were exercisable upon issuance and expire in 
five years.  The Company recorded the allocation between the detachable 
warrants and debt securities based on their relative fair values, as 
determined by a third party appraisal as of the issuance date.  Accordingly, 
the proceeds related to the warrants 

                                       28


are reported as additional paid in capital and a discount on the debt 
secuirites of $202,000, which is being amortized to interest expense over 
five years, the term of the warrants.

8.  INCOME TAXES

        The Company reports income taxes in accordance with Financial 
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".  The Statement 
utilizes a tax liability (or asset) approach to inter-period tax allocations 
and requires tax liabilities to be stated at current effective tax rates.  

        The income tax provision (benefit) for each of the three years in the 
period ended December 31, 1995 consists of the following:

                                            --------   ----------   --------


        Micron's net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards for income tax 
purposes approximated $2,953,000 and $3,726,000 at December 31, 1995 and 
1994, respectively.  During the three years ended December 31, 1995, Micron 
utilized approximately $773,000, $0, and $1,325,000 of its NOL carryforwards. 
The NOL carryforwards expire through 2007.  The use of the loss carryforwards 
to reduce future income tax obligations are limited in any given year due to 
restrictions defined in the Internal Revenue Code related to a change in 
ownership control.

        During the year ended December 31, 1993, the Company recognized $1.6 
million of deferred tax assets with a corresponding reduction of goodwill in 
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109.  
Approximately, $530,000 of the deferred tax assets recognized resulted from 
1993 Micron earnings, and the remaining $1,070,000 represents NOL 
carryforwards expected to be recovered from future earnings of Micron during 
the following ten years of which approximately $408,100 is expected to be 
realized after five years.  Future adjustments to reduce or increase the 
valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, resulting from the Micron 
acquisition will be charged against or increase the Micron related goodwill. 

        The components of the net deferred tax assets were as  follows as of 
December 31:

        Deferred tax assets are recognized by reducing the valuation 
allowance as the Company generates income, or when, in the opinion of 
management, significant positive evidence exists that the Company will be 
more likely than not to realize the tax benefits related to temporary 
differences which give rise to deferred tax assets.  The Company acquired 
Micron effective 


                                       29



November 1, 1992 which contained significant NOL carryforwards which are 
limited in any given year due to restrictions defined in the Internal Revenue 
Code.

        The significant components of the deferred tax expense were as 
follows for the years ended December 31:

        The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return.  For 
financial statement purposes, the actual effective consolidated tax rates 
have been applied to the income from operations before taxes when calculating 
the tax provision.  The actual income tax provision differs from the 
statutory income tax rate (34%) as follows:

9.  WRITE-DOWN OF ASSETS

     In September, 1994, the Company recorded a charge against earnings of 
approximately $2,973,000, consisting principally of the write-down of certain 
intangibles and allowance for slow-moving inventory.  The write-down of 
intangibles, of approximately $1,690,000, consisted primarily of patent costs 
related to the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Corazonix in 
November, 1993 and patent infringement litigation incurred by ART to defend 
its signal-averaging patents.  In general, sales of signal-averaging products 
have declined since 1990.  The Company's management believes that the primary 
market for its signal-averaging patented products has become saturated. The 
Company is focusing its marketing efforts on secondary markets; however, the 
ultimate ability of the Company to successfully sell its signal-averaging 
products within such markets is unknown.  As a result, the patent acquisition 
and defense costs were written-down to an amount that is recoverable over the 
remaining life of the patents based on estimated sales levels and 
undiscounted operating income projections.  These projections are 
management's best estimates based on historical data and trends.  Other 
charges total approximately $1,283,000 consisting primarily of an allowance 
for slow-moving inventories of signal-averaging products, principally those 
purchased under the Corazonix manufacturing agreement (see below), certain 
parts inventory and other inventory deemed to be significantly impaired.  No 
further write-downs to patent assets or increases in inventory reserves were 
made in 1995 and none are expected in the foreseeable future. 

     In connection with the Company's acquisition program, the Company 
advanced $545,679 to or on behalf of Phoenix Polymers, Inc. ("Phoenix") 
through December 31, 1994.  The advances were supported by two promissory 
notes with interest accruing at 8% per annum.  The notes were collateralized 
by a first lien and security interest in all business assets and technology 
of the entity.  The notes were convertible, at the Company's option, into 40% 
of Phoenix's outstanding common stock.  In 1993, the Company entered into 
certain capital lease obligations on behalf of Phoenix for equipment used by 
Phoenix totaling approximately $291,000.  In December 1994, the Company's 
Board of Directors voted to terminate its potential acquisition of Phoenix.  
The Company recorded a charge against 1994 earnings of approximately $778,000 
as an allowance for losses related to the advances and equipment lease 
obligations, net of estimated proceeds to be obtained from the sale of the 
leased equipment.  In August 1995, Phoenix was petitioned into receivership 
by its creditors and ceased operations.  As a secured creditor, Micron 
obtained possession of Phoenix's primary assets including the leased 
equipment and certain patents relating to Phoenix's proprietary plastics 
manufacturing processes. Micron management is currently searching for a buyer 
for the assets.  No further write-downs are contemplated as management 
believes the current allowance is adequate.

10.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS 

     Under the Micron Reorganization Plan, an Employee Stock Ownership Plan 
was established.  The ESOP is noncontributory on the part of its 
participants.  All employees of the Company are eligible for participation in 
the ESOP.  

                                     30 


The ESOP borrowed $300,000 to purchase the Company's shares.  The proceeds 
were used to pay creditors electing to receive cash under the Reorganization 
Plan.  The shares issued by the Company to the ESOP are reflected in 
shareholders' equity, and an amount corresponding to the borrowings (the 
guaranteed ESOP obligation) is reported as a reduction in shareholders' 
equity.  As the principal amount of the borrowings is repaid, the liability 
and the guaranteed ESOP obligation are being reduced.  The Company's 
contributions are based on the ESOP's principal debt service.  The Company 
contributed and recorded compensation expense of $42,857, $42,859 and $46,436 
during the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.

     The Company sponsors an Employee Savings and Investment Plan under 
Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Service Code covering all eligible 
employees of the Company.  Employees can contribute up to 15% of their 
eligible compensation or up to the maximum allowable by the IRS.  The Company 
does not make any matching contributions.

11.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     ROYALTIES 

     ART licenses its signal-averaging technology from an unrelated entity 
for a royalty fee of 4.5% of gross sales, less certain allowances for selling 
commissions and discounts.  Costs of obtaining foreign patents are offset 
against foreign royalties due.  To retain an exclusive license for the 
technology, ART is obligated to pay a minimum royalty of $60,000 annually.

     ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY PRODUCTS CONTRACT                  

     Effective April 1, 1994, ART and Prucka Engineering, Inc. ("Prucka"), 
the manufacturer of the CardioLab and CardioMapp products (the "Products"), 
executed an agreement related to ART's exclusive distribution of the 
Products.  Under the agreement, during the distribution period which expires 
December 31, 1996, purchase orders for Products are received in ART's name; 
PEI manufactures and invoices ART for the Products at a predetermined 
discount and receives payment from ART; and ART invoices customers and 
receives payments.  Thereafter, ART will receive royalties on certain 
Products sales through December 31, 2002.

     ENVIRONMENTAL 

GROUNDWATER

     During September 1992, as a requirement for obtaining a mortgage to 
repurchase its Fitchburg, Massachusetts manufacturing facility, Micron 
performed an environmental 21-E Site Assessment.  A 21-E Site Assessment 
includes an analysis of ground water samples for the presence of certain 
petroleum based products, metals and solvents.  The analysis detected levels 
of petroleum products and metals in excess of the minimum allowable 
standards.  Micron filed a release report and a Preliminary Assessment and 
Interim Site Classification form with the Massachusetts Department of 
Environmental Protection ("DEP").  The DEP classified the site as a disposal 
site within the meaning of the Massachusetts Oil and Hazardous Material 
Release Prevention and Response Act and identified Micron as a potentially 
responsible party with liability.   

     On January 21, 1993, Micron filed its Phase I Limited Site Investigation 
and Waiver Application ("Application").  The Application contained an 
historical overview of past uses of the site and its surrounding area.  The 
facility is located in the center of a heavily developed industrial area and 
use of the site and surrounding properties predates the early 1900's.  Micron 
has occupied the site from 1982 to the present.  The Application identified 
several potential off-site sources for the discharge and demonstrated that 
none of the types of chemicals found on the property are used in the Micron 
manufacturing process.  During February, 1993, the representatives of  the 
DEP visited the site.  On February 18, 1993, the DEP classified the site as a 
non-priority disposal site and granted Micron's waiver application with the 
stipulation that Micron evaluate the upgradient, off-site sources which may 
have caused the contamination. 

     As a condition of the waiver approved by the DEP, Micron was required to 
prepare a five-year plan of remediation for the property.  Micron retained an 
environmental consulting firm to organize, design, and implement a plan of 
remediation and to represent Micron in its dealings with the regulatory 
authorities.  Initial Phase II activities were undertaken in 1993, including 
drilling two borings and installing three monitoring wells.  In 1994, an 
elevation and location survey was conducted on the monitoring wells.  This 
data was used in conjunction with the depth to groundwater in each of the 
wells to construct a groundwater contour plan.  The groundwater contour plan 
is used to estimate the rate and direction of groundwater movement.  In 1995, 
permeability testing was conducted on the monitoring wells.  This data is 
used in evaluating the transport of contaminants via groundwater.  Additional 
Phase II activities, which will be conducted over approximately the next two 
years, will likely include further site history data collection, review and 
evaluation; evaluation of upgradient potential sources as required by the DEP 
waiver; additional soil sample collection to further define source 

                                    31 




areas; groundwater monitoring, report and required document preparation; risk 
assessment; and regulatory agency coordination.  Upon the completion of Phase 
II activities Micron will apply for final approval and clearance from the 
DEP.  The Massachusetts Contingency Plan allows closure of sites only after a 
condition of "no significant risk" is demonstrated.  If the DEP determines 
that the Company needs to implement the last phase of remediation (Phase 
III), the Company could incur approximately $200,000 of clean-up costs to 
remove contaminated property as estimated by the environmental engineering 
firm hired to represent the Company in its dealings with the DEP. Although 
the ultimate outcome is uncertain until Phase II is completed, as of December 
31, 1995, the engineering firm and management of the Company believe that 
Phase III remediation will not be required.  

     Prior to its acquisition by the Company, Micron recorded a charge 
against earnings of $233,000 to cover estimated costs associated with site 
monitoring and remediation through Phase II.  Prior to December 31, 1992, 
Micron  incurred costs of $60,600 on site analysis and preparation of the 
site assessment and waiver application.  During 1995 and 1994, Micron spent 
approximately $24,900 and $14,000 for site assessment, monitoring, and 
remediation. At December 31, 1995, the accrued liabilities include 
approximately $75,200 to cover the estimated future costs associated with 
site monitoring and remediation. Management estimates that these costs could 
approximate from $65,000 to $360,000 depending upon the final decision by the 
DEP.

     Micron may seek recovery from other responsible parties if the source of 
the ground water pollution can be identified.  However the likelihood of the 
collection of damages cannot be evaluated at this time.

OPERATIONS

     During 1995, Micron spent approximately $139,000, of which approximately 
$5,000 was capitalized at December 31, 1994, on an extensive program to 
evaluate its manufacturing process, employee training, health and safety 
programs, air and waste water treatment systems, and to ensure compliance 
with current and future federal, state and local regulations as well as to 
evaluate the adequacy of such systems to facilitate future growth.  Certain 
of the above expenditures are classified as "one time" charges while others 
are normal recurring expenses associated with industrial producers in the 
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  The capitalized costs relate to expenditures 
to improve the efficiency of the manufacturing process and to help mitigate 
or prevent possible future environmental contamination.  Such costs are 
amortized over their estimated useful lives of five years.

     OPERATING LEASES

     The Company leases certain facilities and equipment under non-cancelable 
lease arrangements. During 1995, the Company leased 5,700 square feet of 
office space in an office building in Austin, Texas and 18,800 square feet of 
manufacturing and quality control space in an industrial building in 
Fitchburg, Massachusetts.  The lease on the office space will expire in 
November, 1998 and the manufacturing facility lease will expire in July 1997. 
Rent expense under all operating leases was approximately $177,000, 
$132,000, and $130,000 in 1995, 1994, and 1993 respectively. Future minimum 
operating lease payments as of December 31, 1995 are as follows:

14.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     The Company obtains legal services with respect to its patents from a 
law firm, a partner of which is a shareholder and Director of the Company.  
Fees for services and patent prosecution costs paid to this firm were 
approximately $43,000, $49,000, and $53,000 for years 1995, 1994, and 1993. 
The amounts owed to this firm at the end of 1995, 1994, and 1993 were 
approximately $23,000, $37,000, and  $82,000, respectively.

     Cardio Digital Inc. ("CDI") has four shareholders who are also 
shareholders of the Company. Royalties to CDI were $8,400, $10,950, and 
$12,150 for years 1995, 1994, and 1993.  The amounts owed to CDI at the end 
of 1995, 1994 and 1993 were $8,400, $10,950, and $30,625, respectively.

     During 1993 the Company forgave advances of approximately $20,225 made 
to an affiliated company.

     During the years 1995, 1994, and 1993 healthcare coverage premiums of 
$5,300, $6,300, and $7,400 were paid on behalf of a Director of the Company 
in exchange for consulting services.  During 1994 and 1993, a Director of the 
Company received approximately $2,400, and $3,600 for medical consulting 
services.

     In October, 1994, the Marshalled Cherubs Trust loaned the Company 
$100,000, with interest accruing at 11% per annum, under a demand note.  The 
Marshalled Cherubs Trust is for the benefit of the son of a director and 
shareholder.  However, the director holds no voting or dispositive power with 
respect to Company shares held by the Trust.  The note, plus accrued 
interest, was repaid in August 1995.  

15.  STOCK OPTIONS

     The Company has reserved 250,000 shares of its Common Stock for issuance 
to officers and key employees pursuant to a 1987 Incentive Stock Option Plan 
(the "Option Plan").  Under the Option Plan, options become exercisable 
commencing one year from the date of grant at the rate of 20% of the total 
granted per year and expire ten years from the date of grant.  


                                      33 



The exercise price is the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date 
of grant, which was $3.00 to $6.50 per share for all options outstanding and 
granted under the Option Plan.

Transactions under the Option Plan are summarized as follows:

share. In August 1995, Mr. Jenkins exercised options for 12,000 shares at 
$4.00 per share. In September 1995, Mr. Jenkins exercised the balance of his

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT

        Based solely upon the Company's review of the copies of such forms it 
has received, the Company believes that all its officers, directors and 
greater than ten percent beneficial owners complied with the filing 
requirements applicable to them pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities 
Exchange Act during 1995, except for Russell C. Chambers who has beneficial 
ownership of 5,000 shares which were sold in November 1995, but inadvertently 
failed to file the pertinent SEC report until March 1996.

EMPLOYMENT ARRANGEMENTS

        Anthony A. Cetrone entered into a four-year employment agreement with 
the Company, effective November 24, 1992, which provides for his employment 
as President of Micron at a base salary of $98,000 per year. In addition to 
his base compensation, Mr. Cetrone is entitled to annual bonus compensation 
in the amount of 5% of net income of Micron above $500,000, after goodwill 
amortization. Mr. Cetrone has agreed not to compete with Micron for a period 
of five years after the expiration or termination of his employment.

STOCK OPTIONS

1987 INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN

        In 1987, the Company adopted a stock option plan (the "Option Plan") 
pursuant to which 250,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for 
issuance to officers and other key employees and to certain other persons who 
are employed or engaged by the Company. Options are designated as "incentive 
stock options" within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as 
amended. The purpose of the Option Plan is to encourage stock ownership by 
persons instrumental to the 


                                     38



success of the Company, in order to give them a greater personal interest in 
the Company's business. The exercise price of any stock option granted to an 
eligible employee may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the 
shares underlying such option on the date of grant, unless such employee owns 
more than 10% of the outstanding Common Stock, in which case the exercise 
price of any incentive stock option may not be less than 110% of such fair 
market value. The term of each option and the manner in which it may be 
exercised is determined by the Board of Directors provided that no option may 
be exercisable more than 10 years after the date of grant and, in the case of 
a stock option granted to an eligible employee owning more than 10% of the 
Common Stock, no more than five years. Generally, options become exercisable 
one year from the date of grant and each year thereafter at a rate of 20% per 
year. Options are not transferable, except upon death of the option holder.

        Options to purchase an aggregate of 242,750 shares of Common Stock at 
an exercise price of $3.00 to $6.50 per share have been granted under the 
Option Plan to twenty current and former employees. Of these, options for 
2,000 shares were exercised and options to purchase 48,500 shares granted to 
eight former employees were canceled due to termination of employment or 
death of the employees. During 1993, 2,000 shares were exercised. As of 
December 31, 1995, included in the total are options to purchase 98,000, 
98,000, 25,000, and 30,000 shares, granted to E.P. Marinos, Anthony Cetrone, 
Nancy C. Garbade, and William E. Cooper, respectively. As of December 31, 
1995, included in the total are options to purchase 8,750 shares, granted to 
Wayne Schroeder, a former director and officer of the Company. During the 
year ended December 31, 1995, options to purchase 130,000 shares were granted 
to eight employees. During the year ended December 31, 1994, no options to 
purchase shares were granted. During the year ended December 31, 1993, 
options to purchase 111,000 shares were granted to 12 employees.

OTHER OPTIONS

        In addition, options to purchase an aggregate of 518,450 shares of 
Common Stock have been granted at exercise prices ranging from $2.00 to 
$4.00; such options were not granted under the Option Plan. At December 31, 
1995, options for 58,250 shares have been exercised and options for 135,500 
shares have been terminated.

        During 1988 and 1989 options to purchase 18,750 shares were granted 
to four employees, all of which have been exercised or terminated as of 
December 31, 1993. During 1988, options to purchase 7,500 shares were granted 
to Wayne Schroeder at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. The options were 
exercised during 1993.

        During 1990, options to purchase 25,000 shares of Common Stock were 
granted to Robert A. Simms, at an exercise price of $4.00 per share, all of 
which are currently exercisable. Options to purchase an aggregate of 125,000 
shares were granted to David Jenkins, from 1988 to 1991, at exercise prices 
ranging from $2.00 to $4.00 per share, of which 95,500 were terminated in 
January, 1993 when Mr. Jenkins resigned as President of the Company. Also in 
January, 1993, Mr. Jenkins exercised options for 7,500 shares at $2.00, and 
relinquished the balance of his options, except for 22,000 options in which 
he is fully vested, which were granted him as a director of the Company. In 
March, 1994, Mr. Jenkins exercised 5,000 options at an exercise price of 
$4.00 per share. In August 1995, Mr. Jenkins exercised 12,000 options at an 
exercise price of $4.00 per share. In September 1995, Mr. Jenkins exercised 
the balance of his options for 5,000 shares at an exercise price of $4.00 per 
share.

        During 1991, options to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock were 
granted to three employees, of which 17,500 shares have been exercised or 
terminated.

        In March 1991, five-year options to purchase 24,000 shares were 
granted to each of the six current directors of the Company (including Mr. 
Jenkins), exercisable at a rate of 1,000 shares per month at an exercise 
price of $4.00 per share. During 1991, options to purchase 25,000 shares at 
$4.00, expiring in 1996, were granted to three employees.

        In March 1993, options for 48,000 shares at an exercise price of 
$4.00 were granted to two directors. The options vest at 1,000 per month to 
an aggregate of 24,000 per director. At the date of the grant the market 
price was $5.75. The difference between the grant price and the market price 
is compensation which is being amortized over the vesting period. Total 
compensation expense incurred for these options recorded during 1995, 1994, 
and 1993 was $22,750, $29,750, and $31,500.

        In October 1994, options for 144,000 shares, expiring in 2004, at an 
exercise price of $3.00, were granted to eight current Directors. The shares 
were immediately exercisable. Additionally, options to purchase 5,200 shares 
of common stock, expiring in 1996, at an exercise price of $6.00, were 
granted to a former officer of the Company under a separation agreement.

        In November 1995, options to purchase 29,000 shares, expiring in 
2005, at an exercise price of $3.00, were granted to two Officers and 
Directors of the Company. Twenty-five percent of the shares vest immediately 
and the remaining shares vest at twenty-five percent per year on each 
anniversary date until fully vested.

MEDICAL CONSULTANTS

        The Company previously retained medical consultants who agreed to 
advise the Company from time to time of advances in technology and in the 
respective areas of their expertise. In August 1994, the Company canceled or 
did not continue payment under the consulting retainer contracts due to their 
expiration. The aggregate compensation paid by the Company to consultants 
under their agreements during 1994 and 1993 was $58,533, and $67,475, 
respectively. During 1995 the Company used consultants on a specific project 
basis. Amounts paid to consultants during 1995 was not material.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

        To date, all transactions between the Company and its officers, 
directors, or their affiliates have been approved or ratified by a majority 
of the directors who did not have an interest in, and who were not employed 
by the Company at the time of, such transaction. The Company's Board of 
Directors adopted resolutions providing that any transaction between the 
Company and its officers, directors or their affiliates must be approved by a 
majority of the Board of Directors who do not have an interest in, and who 
are not employed by the Company at the time of, such transaction. The Company 
believes that all transactions entered into with affiliates of the Company 
were on terms no less favorable than could have been obtained from 
unaffiliated third parties.

        In May 1983, ART entered into an agreement with Cardiodigital 
Industries, Inc., a Texas corporation ("CDI"), pursuant to which ART granted 
an exclusive license to CDI to use the technology covered by the Simson 
Patent in connection with research and development of signal-averaging 
devices. In consideration for the license, CDI provided $175,000 of financing 
and granted ART an option to acquire any technology developed by CDI on an 
exclusive basis at a price of either $1,250,000 or a royalty fee of $150 per 
cardiac signal-averaging device sold by ART, up to a maximum of $1,250,000. 
ART exercised its option to purchase such technology at the fee of $150 per 
signal-averaging device sold by ART. Mr. Tom M. Podl and Dr. Julius Tabin, 
directors of ART are shareholders of CDI. In addition, the estate of G. 
Russell Chambers (Dr. Chambers' father), is a principal shareholder of CDI. 
Royalty fees for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 were 
$8,400, $10,950, and $12,150, respectively.

        During 1993 ART forgave advances of approximately $20,225 made to 
Calcasieu Technology Research and Investment Group ("CTRIG") The advances 
were principally for rent paid on behalf of CTRIG and health insurance 
premiums.

        Dr. Julius Tabin, a member of the law firm of Fitch, Even, Tabin & 
Flannery, the Company's patent counsel, has been a director of the Company 
since its inception , and he and other members of the firm are shareholders 
of the Company. For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the law 
firm billed the Company approximately $43,000, $49,000, and $53,000, 
respectively, for legal services rendered and patent prosecution costs. The 
1993 payments included fees for services in connection with the Corazonix 
litigation. The amounts owed to the firm at December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993 
were approximately $23,000, $37,000, and $82,000, respectively.

        Dr. Paul Walter, a director and shareholder of the Company, was 
engaged as a medical consultant to the Company during 1994 and 1993. For the 
years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, fees paid to Dr. Walter amounted to 
approximately $2,400 and $3,600, respectively.

        Dr. Russell C. Chambers, a director and shareholder of the Company, 
is engaged as a consultant to the Company. For the years ended December 31, 
1994, 1993 and 1992, health insurance premiums paid on Dr. Chambers behalf 
amounted to approximately $5,300, $6,300, and $7,400, respectively.

        In October, 1994, the Marshalled Cherubs Trust loaned the Company 
$100,000, with interest accruing at 11% per annum, under a demand note. The 
loan, plus accrued interest, was repaid in August 1995. The Marshalled 
Cherubs Trust is for the benefit of the Jason Chambers, the son of Dr. 
Russell C. Chambers, a director and shareholder of the Company. However, Dr. 
Chambers holds no voting or dispositive power with respect to Company shares 
hold by the Trust.
