Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

          At a meeting held on February 23, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Heska Corporation (the “Company”) approved the terms of a management incentive plan (the “MIP”) for the fiscal year 2005 for the Company’s officers. Any MIP payouts will be based on the Company’s net income (excluding any impact from option expensing) in excess of a certain level. The plan participants will have targets ranging from 25% to 50% of base salary. No bonus payouts were earned or paid under the 2004 MIP as the financial targets were not met. At such meeting, the Committee also approved annual equity incentive awards for senior management in an aggregate amount of 1,052,000 shares of common stock. Stock options for such shares will be granted on March 30, 2005, seven days following the Company’s public announcement of fourth quarter 2004 and year end earnings. All of such options will be immediately vested on the date of grant and will have an exercise price equal to the closing price on the day immediately preceding the date of grant.
