EMRISE CORPORATION RECEIVES ADDITIONAL ORDER FOR MODULAR POWER SUPPLIES FOR U.S. MILITARY VEHICLES Follow-on Order Part of Multi-Year, Multi-Million Dollar Program RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, April 15, 2008 - EMRISE CORPORATION (NYSE Arca: ERI), a designer, manufacturer and marketer of proprietary electronic devices and communications equipment for aerospace, defense, industrial, and communications applications, today announced that it has won a more than $750,000 follow-on order from a major military systems integrator for power supply products for a key U.S. military vehicle program. Deliveries of this order will begin in the second quarter of this year and are anticipated to be completed in six months. This follow-on order for a power supply module is the first such order received in 2008 as part of an existing multi-year, multi-million dollar program. Under this program, EMRISE will sell power supplies to the systems integrator to power on-board electronics in newly built U.S. military vehicles. EMRISE President and CEO Carmine T. Oliva said that the military systems integrator, a longstanding customer, has purchased several million dollars in power supplies from the Company for this program since its inception several years ago. This new order will ensure the customer has continuity of supply for an additional six months following their expediting and ahead of schedule shipping of previously placed orders in the early part of this year to meet increased demand. “Our robust power supply systems, which provide a more compact solution than our competitors, continue to prove their value in the military marketplace,” Oliva added. “Over the years we have invested in the design and technology of our power supply products, and those investments continue to pay dividends in the form of new and additional business. Military projects of this type are important for EMRISE, and we plan to continue to focus our efforts in capturing business in this important sector.” The order was won by EMRISE’s subsidiary Pascall Electronics Ltd. located in England, which offers a range of innovative power conversion products. Its products and systems are comprised of a number of custom, semi-custom and standard power supply products including high and low voltage, high-specification, high-reliability custom power supplies for hostile environments predominantly in the commercial and military markets.
