On August 2, 2007, Cholestech Corporation (“Cholestech”) is issuing a press release and holding a conference call regarding its financial results for the first quarter ended June 29, 2007.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measure
To supplement our results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Cholestech uses a non-GAAP measure of operating results, cash earnings, which is adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain non-cash expenses. 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 facilitates the comparison of results for the current period with results for past periods. Further, this non-GAAP measure is one of the primary indicators management uses for assessing our performance, allocating resources and planning and forecasting for future periods. Accordingly, the Company is disclosing this information to permit additional analysis of the Company’s performance. This measure 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.
