California General Corporation Law authorize a corporation to indemnify its
directors, officers, employees and other agents in terms sufficiently broad to
permit indemnification (including reimbursement for expenses) under certain
circumstances for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;).

Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#147;Exchange Act&#148;). The Registrant has

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section&nbsp;15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant in successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered hereunder, the Registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

PART II INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference
Cholestech Corporation (the "Company" or "Registrant") hereby incorporates
by reference in this registration statement the following documents:
A. The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
March 29, 2002 filed pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
B. The Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
December 28, 2001 filed pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act.
C. The description of the Company's Common Stock contained in the
Company's Registration Statement on Form 8-A as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on May 4, 1992 pursuant to Section 12(b)
of the 1934 Act and any amendments or reports filed with the Commission for the
purpose of updating such description.
D. The description of the Company's Preferred Stock Purchase Rights
contained in the Company's Registration Statement on Form 8-A as filed with the
Commission on January 27, 1997 pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act.
In addition, all documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant
to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this
registration statement which indicates that all securities offered hereby have
been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be
deemed to be incorporated by reference in this registration statement and to be
a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
Item 4. Description of Securities
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
As permitted by Section 204(a) of the California General Corporation Law,
the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation eliminate a director's personal
liability for monetary damages to the Registrant and its shareholders arising
from a breach or alleged breach of the director's fiduciary duty, except for
liability arising under Sections 310 and 316 of the California General
Corporation Law or liability for (i) acts or omissions that involve intentional
misconduct or knowing and culpable violation of law, (ii) acts or omissions
that a director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the Registrant
or its shareholders or that involve the absence of good faith on the part of
the director, (iii) any transaction from which a director derived an improper
personal benefit, (iv) acts or omissions that show a reckless
-2-
Table of Contents
disregard for the director's duty to the Registrant or its shareholders in
circumstances in which the director was aware, or should have been aware, in
the ordinary course of performing a director's duties, of a risk of serious
injury to the Registrant or its shareholders and (v) acts or omissions that
constitute an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of
the director's duty to the Registrant or its shareholders. This provision does
not eliminate the directors' duty of care, and in appropriate circumstances
equitable remedies such as an injunction or other forms of non-monetary relief
would remain available under California law. Sections 204(a) and 317 of the
California General Corporation Law authorize a corporation to indemnify its
directors, officers, employees and other agents in terms sufficiently broad to
permit indemnification (including reimbursement for expenses) under certain
circumstances for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act").
The Registrant's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws contain provisions
covering indemnification of corporate directors, officers and other agents
against certain liabilities and expenses incurred as a result of proceedings
involving such persons in their capacities as directors, officers, employees or
agents, including proceedings under the Securities Act or the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Registrant has
entered into Indemnification Agreements with its directors and executive
officers.

Item 9. Undertakings
A. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include any material
information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
-3-
Table of Contents
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
B. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant in successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered hereunder, the Registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
