EMRISE Corporation Named One of Los Angeles’ Fastest Growing Technology Companies in Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50 Program RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, October 10, 2006 - EMRISE CORPORATION (NYSE Arca:ERI), a multi-national manufacturer of defense and aerospace electronic components and communications equipment, today announced that it has been named to Deloitte’s prestigious Technology Fast 50 Program for Los Angeles, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies in the area by Deloitte & Touche USA LLP, one of the nation’s leading professional services organizations. Rankings are based on the percentage revenue growth over five years from 2001-2005. This year’s Los Angeles Technology Fast 50 program is co-presented by Deloitte & Touche USA LLP and Porsche Motorsport, Continental Airlines, Comerica, Marsh, Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth, Cresa Partners and Merrill Corporation, in association with the Technology Council of Southern California. EMRISE Corporation’s CEO, Carmine T. Oliva, credits growth in the aerospace and defense market complemented by innovative new products and acquisitions with the company’s percentage revenue growth from 2001-2005. Oliva said, “We are pleased to be recognized by Deloitte and its co-sponsors with this award and we hope to achieve an even higher growth rate and ranking in the 2007 program year based upon our expected revenue growth in 2006.” EMRISE Corporation’s increase in revenues of 50% from 2001 to 2005 resulted in EMRISE being ranked 42 in the Technology Fast 50 for Los Angeles. “Deloitte’s Los Angeles Technology Fast 50 companies have shown the strength, vision and tenacity to succeed in today’s very competitive technology environment,” said Tony Buzzelli, Regional Managing Partner, Deloitte & Touche LLP in Los Angeles. “We applaud the successes of EMRISE Corporation and acknowledge it as one of the very few to accomplish such a fast growth rate over the past five years.” To qualify for the Technology Fast 50, companies must have had operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 2001 and $5,000,000 in 2005, be headquartered in North America, and be a company that owns proprietary technology or proprietary intellectual property that contributes to a significant portion of the company’s operating revenues; or devotes a significant proportion of revenues to the research and development of technology. Using other companies’ technology or intellectual property in a unique way does not qualify. Winners of the 16 regional Technology Fast 50 programs in the United States and Canada are automatically entered in Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500 program, which ranks North America’s top 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies.
