     This filing relates solely to preliminary communications made before the commencement of a planned tender offer by Nippon Product Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”) and wholly-owned subsidiary of Nipro Corporation, a corporation organized under the laws of Japan (the “Parent”), for all of the outstanding common stock of Home Diagnostics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to be commenced pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated February 2, 2010, among the Parent, the Purchaser and the Company.
     The press release filed as Exhibit 99.1 is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell securities. The tender offer for the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock described in this filing has not commenced. At the time the offer is commenced, the Parent and the Purchaser will file a tender offer statement on Schedule TO with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and the Company will file a solicitation/recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9, with respect to the offer. The tender offer statement (including an offer to purchase, a related letter of transmittal and other offer documents) and the solicitation/recommendation statement will contain important information that should be read carefully before any decision is made with respect to the tender offer. Those materials will be made available to the Company’s stockholders at no expense to them. In addition, all of those materials (and all other offer documents filed with the SEC) will be available at no charge on the SEC’s website: www.sec.gov .
