               Information Required in the Registration Statement

ITEM 3.  INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

         Adept   Technology,   Inc.  (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 June 30, 1998 filed pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

                  (b) The  Company's  Quarterly  Reports  on Form  10-Q  for the
quarters ended September 26, 1998 and March 27, 1999,  filed pursuant to Section
13 of the Exchange Act.

                  (c) The description of the Company's Common Stock contained in
the Company's Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed October 31, 1995 pursuant
to Section  12(g) of the 1934 Act and any  amendments  or reports filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for the purpose of updating such description.

         All documents  subsequently  filed by the Company  pursuant to Sections
13(a),  13(c),  14 and  15(d) of the  Exchange  Act,  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
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.

         The class of securities to be offered is registered under Section 12 of
the Exchange Act.

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

                                      II-1

<PAGE>


of the director, (iii) any transaction from which a director derived an improper
personal benefit,  (iv) acts or omissions that show a reckless 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  Registrant has entered into  Indemnification  Agreements
with its directors and executive officers.

         At present,  there is no pending  litigation or proceeding  involving a
director,   officer,  employee  or  other  agent  of  the  Registrant  in  which
indemnification  is being sought,  nor is the Registrant aware of any threatened
litigation  that may  result in a claim  for  indemnification  by any  director,
officer, employee or other agent of the Registrant.

ITEM 7.  EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 8.  EXHIBITS.

         See Index to Exhibits.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

         (a) Rule 415 Offering. 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;

                                      II-2

<PAGE>

                  (2) That, for the purpose of determining  any liability  under
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) 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)  Filing   incorporating   subsequent   Exchange  Act  documents  by
reference.

              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
Exchange Act (and, where  applicable,  each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual  report   pursuant  to  Section  15(d)  of  the  Exchange  Act)  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)  Request  for   acceleration   of  effective   date  or  filing  of
registration statement on Form S-8.

              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 of expenses  incurred or paid by a director,  officer or  controlling
person of the  registrant  in the  successful  defense  of any  action,  suit or
proceeding)  is  asserted by such  director,  officer or  controlling  person in
connection with the securities being registered,  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  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.

               Information Required in the Registration Statement

ITEM 3.  INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

         Adept   Technology,   Inc.  (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 June 30, 1998 filed pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

                  (b) The  Company's  Quarterly  Reports  on Form  10-Q  for the
quarters ended September 26, 1998 and March 27, 1999,  filed pursuant to Section
13 of the Exchange Act.

                  (c) The description of the Company's Common Stock contained in
the Company's Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed October 31, 1995 pursuant
to Section  12(g) of the 1934 Act and any  amendments  or reports filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for the purpose of updating such description.

         All documents  subsequently  filed by the Company  pursuant to Sections
13(a),  13(c),  14 and  15(d) of the  Exchange  Act,  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
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.

         The class of securities to be offered is registered under Section 12 of
the Exchange Act.

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

                                      II-1
of the director, (iii) any transaction from which a director derived an improper
personal benefit,  (iv) acts or omissions that show a reckless 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  Registrant has entered into  Indemnification  Agreements
with its directors and executive officers.

         At present,  there is no pending  litigation or proceeding  involving a
director,   officer,  employee  or  other  agent  of  the  Registrant  in  which
indemnification  is being sought,  nor is the Registrant aware of any threatened
litigation  that may  result in a claim  for  indemnification  by any  director,
officer, employee or other agent of the Registrant.

ITEM 7.  EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 8.  EXHIBITS.

         See Index to Exhibits.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

         (a) Rule 415 Offering. 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;

                                      II-2
(2) That, for the purpose of determining  any liability  under
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) 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)  Filing   incorporating   subsequent   Exchange  Act  documents  by
reference.

              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
Exchange Act (and, where  applicable,  each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual  report   pursuant  to  Section  15(d)  of  the  Exchange  Act)  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)  Request  for   acceleration   of  effective   date  or  filing  of
registration statement on Form S-8.

              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 of expenses  incurred or paid by a director,  officer or  controlling
person of the  registrant  in the  successful  defense  of any  action,  suit or
proceeding)  is  asserted by such  director,  officer or  controlling  person in
connection with the securities being registered,  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  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.

                                      II-3

         Pursuant  to the  requirements  of the  Securities  Act  of  1933,  the

statement  to be  signed  on its  behalf  by  the  undersigned,  thereunto  duly
