Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On August 30, 2007, HEI, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”), entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Smartrac Technology US Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dutch based Smartrac N.V. (“Purchaser”). Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell to Purchaser substantially all the assets of the Company’s RFID division, including inventory, receivables, customer contracts and customer lists, and the Purchaser agreed to assume substantially all of the liabilities of the division, for $3.0 million in cash (the “Sale”). On August 31, 2007, the Company completed the Sale contemplated under the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Purchaser obtained operational control of the Company’s RFID Division.

Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser assumed the obligations of the Company’s Chanhassen Minnesota facility lease. The Asset Purchase Agreement also included a noncompetition agreement with terms that are customary for transactions of this type, size and scope.

As a result of this transaction, the Company expects to recognize a gain from the Sale in the 4^th quarter of approximately $1.5 million, prior to any employee obligations, severance and other transaction-related costs. The Company used the proceeds from the Sale to pay down existing debt obligations.

The foregoing description of the Asset Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the Asset Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposal of Asset
