The network timing and synchronization product is the first product to be outsourced to Hitachi and the Company expects order placement for its new StarSync™ timing and synchronization product as well as other network access and transmission products will follow throughout 2006. Larry Taillie, President of CXR Larus Corporation, commented, “The delivery of the first production network timing and synchronization products from Hitachi is a significant milestone for CXR Larus. CXR Larus and Hitachi OMD worked hard to get to this point. We believe manufacturing of our products by Hitachi provides our customers with high quality, high reliability products produced by one of the preeminent manufacturers in the world today.” Graham Jefferies, Chief Operating Officer of EMRISE Corporation, commented, “The initial production deliveries of CXR Larus network timing products by Hitachi OMD is the culmination of a 15 month process to identify and develop an outsource relationship for all of our telecommunications products. In addition to the initial production deliveries for CXR Larus here in the United States, our French subsidiary, CXR Anderson Jacobson (“AJ”), is in active discussions with Hitachi France Manufacturing in Orleans, France to potentially produce CXR AJ’s line of products. Outsourcing of manufacturing to Hitachi will allow our communications group to focus resources on engineering, marketing and selling our telecommunications products while Hitachi provides the manufacturing capability for us.” About EMRISE CORPORATION EMRISE Corporation is a multi-national manufacturer of defense and aerospace electronic components and communications equipment.
