EMRISE CORPORATION COMMENCES DELIVERY OF $4,000,000 OF EXISTING BACKLOG FOR NEW “IN-FLIGHT-ENTERTAINMENT AND COMMUNICATIONS” PRODUCTS RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, October 16, 2007 - EMRISE CORPORATION (NYSE Arca: ERI), a multi-national manufacturer of defense, aerospace and industrial electronic devices and communications equipment, today announced that one of its subsidiaries has commenced delivery of $4 million in existing backlog for new ”In-Flight-Entertainment and Communications” (“IFE&C”) products. We expect to ship approximately $2 million of the $4 million in backlog during this fiscal year. Carmine T. Oliva, Chairman, President and CEO of EMRISE, stated: “Commencing shipment of this backlog is an important part of our planned Fourth Quarter 2007 growth in revenue and forecasted profit for the fourth quarter. Next generation IFE&C products are EMRISE’s primary growth driver in 2007. Our base business of IFE&C products remained strong throughout 2007. Now, this base business is being enhanced by additional programs for new IFE&C on-board services including among others cell traffic and internet access. We expect our IFE&C business will continue to grow as we deliver exciting new next generation products to our customers. Our business has also expanded because, in addition to our traditional power supplies, our systems now include integrated Radio Frequency (RF) devices and other components in full rack mounted system assemblies. These new system assemblies enhance our value as an IFE&C supplier to our customers. They will be a major contributor to our growth in 2008 and beyond as the proliferation of IFE&C accelerates throughout the airline industry both as a major revenue enhancement for the airlines and as a differentiating service offering.” About EMRISE CORPORATION EMRISE Corporation is a multi-national manufacturer of defense, aerospace and industrial electronic devices and communications equipment.
