Item 2.01  Completion of Acquisition or Disposal of Assets

Divestiture of Semiconductor Business – Valence Technology Limited

On September 29, 2006, SRS Labs, Inc. (“SRS”) completed the sale of its semiconductor business, Valence Technology Limited (“Valence”), to Noblehigh Enterprises Inc. (“Noblehigh”).  The transaction was completed pursuant to a Sale and Purchase Agreement dated July 14, 2006 (“Purchase Agreement”).  Noblehigh is owned by Willas Array Electronics (Holding) Limited (“Willas-Array”) as well as certain members of management of Valence, including Lionel Cheng , President of Valence, Hong Wa Poon, Sze Chuen Pele Lai, Kim Chiu Chang, Kwok Kwan Tong and Kai Ming Wong (collectively such individuals are referred to herein as the “Management Buyers”).

The sale to Noblehigh was effected through two simultaneous transactions: (1) the repurchase by Valence of approximately 74% of the outstanding shares of Valence from SRS for an aggregate price of $11.4 million and (2) the purchase by Noblehigh of the remaining outstanding shares of Valence from SRS for $4.3 million.  Valence repurchased shares from SRS using its existing cash, cash equivalents and other current assets, all of which were already reflected on SRS’s balance sheet.

In connection with the sale of Valence to Noblehigh, management personnel of Valence (other than Reivlin Cham) executed Waiver of Change of Control agreements to confirm that they are not entitled to any payments or other benefits as a result of the sale of Valence.  As a result of the sale of Valence, Reivlin Cham, Vice President Finance of Valence, will be paid approximately $156,000 as a result of a Change of Control Agreement.  The change of control payment to Mr. Cham will be paid by SRS.  Also, in connection with the sale of Valence, SRS has repurchased from Management Buyers 357,625 shares of SRS common stock which such individuals acquired through the exercise of vested employee stock options.  The repurchase price paid for such shares was $5.91 per share or $2,114,586 in the aggregate.  The repurchase price was equal to the average closing price of SRS common stock for the seven trading days ending three days prior to the closing date of the sale of Valence.
