EMRISE CORPORATION SUBSIDIARY XCEL POWER SYSTEMS LTD. RECEIVES ADDITIONAL ORDERS FOR TRANCHE 2 EUROFIGHTER TYPHOON AIRCRAFT New Orders Bring Tranche 2 Build Total to $9 Million RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, -August 15, 2007- EMRISE CORPORATION (NYSE Arca: ERI), a multi-national manufacturer of defense, aerospace and industrial electronic devices and communications equipment, today announced that its U.K. based power supply company Xcel Power Systems Ltd. has received an additional $600,000 in orders for power supplies to upgrade an avionic system for the Eurofighter Typhoon, Tranche 2 aircraft. This new order, which will ship over the next twelve months, brings Tranche 2 orders for approximately 225 aircraft to a total of $9 million. Our remaining current backlog of Tranche 2 orders with this new order is approximately $6 million. This backlog is scheduled to ship half in 2007 and half in 2008. Commenting on the new orders, Carmine T. Oliva, Chairman, President and CEO, stated: “The Eurofighter Typhoon Aircraft Tranche 2 build is the largest single military program EMRISE has ever been awarded. It doubled our prior Tranche 1 program award for 125 aircraft that was nearly $4.5 million. We are pleased to be part of various continuing avionic upgrade and spares programs which offer us the opportunity to expand our revenue per aircraft not only on the remaining Tranche 2 aircraft yet to be built, but it affords us additional revenue opportunities for retrofit to those Tranche 2 aircraft already built. Above all we are very excited about the size of the Tranche 3 opportunity yet to be awarded.” About EMRISE CORPORATION EMRISE Corporation is a multi-national manufacturer of defense, aerospace and industrial electronic devices and communications equipment.
