EMRISE Receives Initial Production Order For International Military Aircraft Power Supply Products

Rancho Cucamonga, CA - EMRISE CORPORATION recently announced it has received an initial $300,000 production order from a military systems integrator for power supplies and control system sub-assemblies for use in a new international, fixed-wing, military aircraft program. The company anticipates receiving multiple follow-on production orders associated with this project which could span multiple years and could provide millions of dollars of additional business for EMRISE.

This initial production order, which is for immediate delivery, is a direct follow-on order from an $850,000 development contract awarded in mid-2007 to the Company's Pascall Electronics Ltd. ("Pascall") subsidiary in England.

Carmine T. Oliva, President and CEO of EMRISE, commented, "Our Pascall subsidiary has had significant success in recent months in expanding its primary commercial business from In-Flight Entertainment and Communications (IFC&E) products into the harsh environment, military market for custom and commercial ‘off the shelf' power supplies and control sub-assemblies.

"In 2007, we implemented our strategy of extending Pascall's commercial expertise into custom military programs that were more typical of our Xcel Power Systems, Ltd. ('XPS') subsidiary in England, whose business is predominantly military especially for the Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft," Oliva added. "We believe the award of this production order is continuing evidence of the synergy between XPS and Pascall and it clearly demonstrates Pascall's ability to meet challenging military development requirements within tight time frames and to ultimately be awarded follow-on production orders for potential multi-year, multi-million dollar programs."

Pascall and XPS continue to capitalize on their long-standing presence in the fixed and rotary wing aircraft market. Recent orders show the penetration that Pascall and XPS, and EMRISE's U.S.-based power supply subsidiary RO Associates, are achieving by capturing business in the larger programs for land-based military vehicles, including the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV or Humvee), tracked vehicles, and tanks.
