BONDS PAYABLE

     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 will issue to 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 will provide working capital for new product acquisitions and
development.

STOCK OPTIONS

     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 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.  Under the Option Plan the exercise price is the fair

SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

   REDEEMABLE COMMON STOCK REPURCHASE

     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.

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At September 30, 1995, the Company had working capital of approximately
$2,303,000.  At September 30, 1995, ART had a line of credit with a financial
institution collateralized by inventory and accounts receivable of ART in the
amount of $1,000,000 bearing interest at prime plus .5% (9.2% at September
30, 1995).  The line of credit had an outstanding balance of approximately
$1,046,000 at September 30, 1995. The line of credit originally maturing May
31, 1995,  has been extended to November 30, 1995.  At September 30, 1995,
Micron had a revolving line of credit with a bank collateralized by inventory
and accounts receivable in the amount of $1,000,000, bearing interest at the
bank's base corporate rate plus .5%

                                 Page 7 of 10

<PAGE>


(9.25% at September 30, 1995) and had an outstanding balance of $800,000 at
September 30, 1995. Micron's line of credit agreement originally maturing May
31, 1995 was extended to November 30, 1995.  The Company has a firm
commitment with a new bank for a consolidated credit facility comprised of a
$3,500,000 line of credit collateralized by inventory and accounts
receivable, and a $375,000 term loan.  The Company expects to complete the
funding of the new consolidated credit facility prior to November 30, 1995.
The Company's line of credit is its primary source of liquidity. The Company
believes it has sufficient credit to meet its needs with the new consolidated
credit facility.

     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 5 years.  ART will issue to 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.

      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 34,898 shares are expected to be redeemed in the
fourth quarter at a price of $7.13 per share.

     Capital expenditures during the first nine months of 1995 were
approximately $245,000, as compared to $423,000 in 1994.  Capital
expenditures have decreased due to the delaying of certain budgeted capital
expenditure purchases in 1995.  The expenditures are expected to increase in
the fourth quarter and the next year.  Capital expenditures are funded from
operating cash flows.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     SALES for the third quarter decreased 3% and increased 36% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995, when compared to the same periods in 1994.
Electrophysiology (EP) product revenue increased 1% and 67% while unit volume
decreased 23% for the quarter and increased 61% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995, as compared to 1994.  The Company believes that the
increase in domestic EP product sales year-to-date is due, among other
reasons, to the lessening of concern in the healthcare industry regarding
proposed national healthcare reform.  The shift in sales to a heavier
domestic content reflects the increased demand for EP systems in the United
States.  The increase in dollars of EP Sales in the third quarter is due to
the higher number of domestic units sold; domestic units are priced higher
than foreign units which are sold at a discount.  The decline in sales of EP
units overall for the third quarter was due to lower sales of foreign units
caused by the seasonal slowing of economic activity over the summer months.
Revenues from sales of ECG sensors decreased 8% and increased 6% for the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995, respectively, as compared
to the same periods in 1994.  The decrease in ECG sensor sales for the
quarter ended September 30, 1995, is due principally to lower foreign sales
caused by slower seasonal summer activity.  The increase in sales for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 1995, is due to increasing
international sales and higher demand by customers in the domestic market.
Pricing on all products remained approximately the same for the third quarter
and first nine months of 1995 as compared to 1994.  The sales mix for the
Company has remained stable with EP systems and ECG sensors making up most
sales and the related cost of sales.

     COST OF SALES increased as a percent of sales for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995, as compared to the same period in 1994, due primarily to the
new distribution agreement signed with Prucka Engineering, Inc. ("Prucka"),
effective April 1, 1994.  The agreement calls for Prucka to perform more of the
marketing responsibilities related to the EP products, and in return, ART is
required to purchase the EP products at a higher cost.  The cost of sensors
declined for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 due to lower raw materials
costs, partially offsetting the increase in EP products costs.  Overall, the
cost of sales remained the same as a percent of sales for the quarter ended
September 30, 1995 as compared to the same period in the prior year, however,
cost of sales of the EP products actually increased, but were offset by a
decrease in the cost of sales of sensors.  The increase in cost of sales for the
EP products for the quarter is due primarily to the composition of the sales in
1995.  In 1994 there was a higher percentage of foreign sales which, for that
year of the contract, had a lower cost

under the new contract with Prucka. The cost of sales for sensors declined
due to lower raw materials costs.  Overhead costs as a percent of sales and
absolute dollars have remained consistent over the periods compared.  Cost of
sales as a percent of sales is expected to remain similar in the fourth
quarter with an increase in the next year.  The following table details the
make-up of cost of sales between overhead and component costs:

     SELLING AND MARKETING expenses have decreased significantly as a percent
of sales and in absolute dollars during the third quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1995, as compared to the same periods for 1994.  The
decline is primarily attributable to the new distribution agreement with
Prucka.  The agreement specifies that Prucka will pay for the expenses
related to marketing the CardioLab, principally commissions, sales personnel,
and trade shows which ART paid in prior years.  The primary component of
marketing and selling expenses for the third quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 1995 is salaries.  The current level of marketing operations is
expected to continue for the remainder of the year.

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE expenses have decreased as a percent of sales
for the quarter and nine month period ended September 30, 1995, as compared
to the same periods of the previous year.  General and administrative
expenses decreased as a percent of sales due principally to the increase in
sales dollars.  General and administrative expenses have remained comparable
in terms of dollars as compared to the prior year.  General and
administrative expenses are expected to continue at this level for the
remainder of the year. The table below shows the major components:

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT expenses have decreased as a percent of sales during
the nine months ended September 30, 1995, as compared to the same period of
the prior year due to the higher sales levels.  The decrease in terms of
absolute dollars for the nine months is due primarily to lower amounts paid
to consultants.  The thrust of the research and development effort is to
develop new software applications for existing signal averaging products and
new products utilizing the patented Simson method of signal averaging.
