Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

          On June 8, 2006, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Cholestech Corporation (“Cholestech”) approved the payment of cash bonuses to Cholestech’s executive officers based on the achievement of performance goals set forth in Cholestech’s Management Incentive Bonus Plan for fiscal year 2006, which was previously approved by the Committee. The bonus amounts to be paid to the individual executive officers were determined based on two financial performance objectives for Cholestech (earnings per share and sales revenue) and specific individual based performance targets. The specific bonus amounts to be paid to Cholestech’s executive officers for fiscal year 2006 are as follows:

Executive Officer		Title		Bonus Amount
Warren E. Pinckert II		President, Chief Executive Officer and Director		$	227,550
John F. Glenn		Vice President of Finance, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary		$	119,850
Barbara McAleer		Vice President of Quality and Regulatory Affairs		$	98,719
Kenneth F. Miller		Vice President of Sales and Marketing		$	146,484
Terry L. Wassmann		Vice President of Human Resources		$	86,873
Donald P. Wood		Vice President of Operations		$	138,900
Gregory Bennett		Vice President of Research and Development		$	55,768

          In addition, on June 8, 2006, the Committee approved the terms of the 2007 Management Incentive Bonus Plan (the “2007 Plan”). The 2007 Plan applies to certain executive officers and key employees of Cholestech and sets forth certain financial performance objectives for Cholestech in fiscal year 2007 and variable bonus payments to participating executive officers and key employees for achievement of individual based performance targets.

          The funding of the 2007 Plan is dependent on Cholestech’s achievement of two financial performance objectives: earnings per share (which is weighted 70%) and sales revenues (which is weighted 30%). The bonus payout calculation is based on certain percentage achievements of such objectives by Cholestech weighted by certain percentage allocations for achievement of the respective earnings per share and sales revenues objectives. The maximum aggregate amount payable under the 2007 Plan is approximately $2.1 million.

          Individual payouts under the 2007 Plan for executive officers are based on the achievement of specific individual based performance targets. Under the terms of the 2007 Plan, the Committee approved defined performance measures for each of the executive officers named above.

          The bonus payout under the 2007 Plan will be calculated at the end of fiscal year 2007 and paid out in approximately June 2007 based on payroll cycles. Moreover, each of the executive
