Safe Harbor Statement of Cholestech Corporation Under the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: This release contains
forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially
from those in the forward-looking statements due to risks and
uncertainties, including: risks inherent to the regulatory approval
process; market acceptance and demand for our current and future
products; further regulatory changes and guidelines affecting the
healthcare system in the United States; risks inherent to future
sales growth and the research and development process; the ability
to execute proposed initiatives and other factors. Additional
considerations and important risk factors are described in
Cholestech's Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form
10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
To supplement our results presented in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we use non-GAAP measures of
operating results, net income and net income per share, which are
adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude SFAS 123R stock
based compensation expenses. This non-GAAP financial presentation
is given in part to enhance the understanding of the Company's
historical financial performance and comparability between periods
in light of a change in accounting standards, particularly since
the Company has not included stock-based compensation under SFAS
123R as an expense in financial statements before. In addition, the
Company believes that the non-GAAP presentation to exclude
stock-based compensation is relevant and useful information that
will be widely used by analysts, investors and other interested
parties. Cash earnings is not a GAAP defined measure. The company
believes this measure provides meaningful supplemental information
regarding Cholestech's operating results given the current
accumulated tax loss carryforwards and because it excludes amounts
that are not related to Cholestech's core operating results and
facilitate the comparison of results for the current period with
results for past periods. Further, these non-GAAP results are one
of the primary indicators management uses for assessing our
performance, allocating resources and planning and forecasting
future periods. Accordingly, the Company is disclosing this
information to permit additional analysis of the Company's
performance. These measures should be considered in addition to
results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be
considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. CONDENSED
