EMRISE CORPORATION’S SUBSIDIARY, PASCALL ELECTRONICS LTD., RECEIVED YEAR-END ORDERS IN EXCESS OF $1,000,000 FOR IN-FLIGHT ENTERTAINMENT PRODUCTS 2006 BOOKINGS TOTALING $6 MILLION EXCEED 2005 BOOKINGS BY 87% RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, January 22, 2007 - EMRISE CORPORATION (NYSE ARCA:ERI), a multi-national manufacturer of defense, aerospace and industrial electronic devices and communications equipment, today announced that its subsidiary, Pascall Electronics Ltd., has received year-end orders worth in excess of $1 million for its range of in-flight-entertainment (“IFE”) products. This brings 2006 orders to more than $6 million, representing a growth of 87% over the previous year’s bookings of $3.2 million. During 2006, Pascall expanded its presence in the IFE marketplace from its base of power supplies to now include its RF devices and the integration of both power supplies and RF devices into complete chassis and turnkey subsystem assemblies especially for new multimedia IFE systems and GSM communications systems. Commenting on the orders, Graham Jefferies, Executive Vice President and COO, said, “The aerospace market, and especially the commercial in-flight multimedia market, is our core business at Pascall. We are successfully broadening our range of IFE products and believe we are building a very competitive position. The growth in IFE orders in 2006 resulted from a combination of factors. Previous 2005 product developments are now ’flight qualified,’ leading to volume manufacturing orders in 2006 for new aircraft and retrofits. Increased demand for some of our older products and for new products for new multimedia services onboard new aircraft has further fuelled the growth in orders of not only power supplies but also RF devices and subsystem assemblies.” Carmine T. Oliva, Chief Executive Officer of EMRISE, commented, “While military avionics has historically been our dominant core business, commercial avionics is rapidly reaching parity. In-flight entertainment and newer multimedia and communications systems on commercial aircraft is now the primary growth driver for EMRISE in 2007 and beyond. We have increasing confidence in our market opportunities for 2007 as we focus on longer term partnership agreements with our customers. We have successfully expanded our customer base over the last 12 months, and now we also have a wider range of products that reflects the rapidly expanding nature of this segment of the commercial airline electronics industry.” About EMRISE CORPORATION EMRISE Corporation is a multi-national manufacturer of defense and aerospace electronic devices and communications equipment.
