EMRISE CORPORATION’S U.K. SUBSIDIARY XCEL POWER SYSTEMS LTD HAS RECEIVED INITIAL ORDERS FOR POWER SYSTEMS FOR U.S. MANUFACTURED OIL EXPLORATION EQUIPMENT Orders are in excess of $655,000 and are expected to be shipped in 2006 RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, September 14, 2006 - EMRISE CORPORATION (NYSE ARCA:ERI), a multi-national manufacturer of defense and aerospace electronic components and communications equipment, today announced that its XCEL Power Systems Ltd. (XPS) subsidiary based in England has received orders for electronic power systems for a U.S. oil exploration equipment manufacturer. XPS expects to deliver approximately $655,000 of these products to this new customer in 2006. Richard Weller, Managing Director of XPS, commented, “The orders received have come as a result of our strategy of diversification into other larger markets with harsh environment requirements beyond our traditional military avionics market. The oil exploration equipment market has especially harsh environmental requirements, which we believe are ideally suited to our military aerospace products and expertise. This, coupled with our “Lean Manufacturing” approach, has made us responsive to the requirements of the oil exploration equipment market, while still offering our customer a cost effective product.” Graham Jefferies, Executive Vice President of EMRISE, stated, “Through two recent acquisitions complementing the business of XPS, we have built a sizable power supply group, with a U.S. and European presence and with broader expertise and a global reach. With this capability in place we are beginning to achieve benefits as we are able to address markets that were previously beyond our reach. We seek to increase our revenues with a range of products that address larger potential production quantities in a broader base of markets than are afforded us through our traditional military avionics market.” About EMRISE CORPORATION EMRISE Corporation is a multi-national manufacturer of defense and aerospace electronic components and communications equipment.
