Introduction

This Amendment No. 3 to Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 amends and supplements the Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3, as amended by Amendments No. 1 and No. 2 thereto, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 25, 2012, October 9, 2012, and October 16, 2012, respectively, by Heska Corporation, a Delaware corporation, in connection with its offer to purchase for cash of all shares of its common stock held by stockholders that owned 99 or fewer shares as of the close of business on August 21, 2012, and that continued to own such shares through the expiration date of the offer, pursuant to the offer to purchase and the related documents (including the letter of transmittal), in each case as amended. The Schedule 13E-3, as amended, has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to, among other things, amend the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, filed by Heska Corporation on August 27, 2012, and September 14, 2012, respectively, with respect to the odd-lot tender offer. The offer expired on October 22, 2012.

This Amendment No. 3 is filed in satisfaction of the reporting requirements of Rule 13e-3(d) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which requires a final amendment to the Schedule 13E-3 to be filed to report the results of the offer to purchase. Except as otherwise noted below, no changes have been made to the Schedule 13E-3 or the offer to purchase and related documents, as amended, that were previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 9, 2012, as amended. Items 1 through 15 of the Schedule 13E-3, as amended, which incorporate by reference the information contained in the offer to purchase, as amended, are hereby amended as follows:

The offer to purchase expired at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on October 22, 2012. 4,159 shares of common stock were tendered. Heska Corporation has accepted all shares properly tendered and will purchase all of such shares at the offer price of $9.50 per share.
