PROXY STATEMENT

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

July    , 2010

VOTING AND PROXY

        We are furnishing this proxy statement in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our Board of Directors for use at our 2010 annual meeting of stockholders to be held at 11:30 a.m. local time on July     , 2010, at Staybridge Suites, Eatontown, New Jersey 07724, and at any and all adjournments and postponements of the meeting. This proxy statement and the enclosed proxy are first being sent or given to stockholders of EMRISE Corporation on or about July     , 2010. The following items of business will be discussed at the 2010 annual meeting of stockholders:

        1.     The approval and adoption of the Purchase Agreement.

        2.     The election of Laurence P. Finnegan, Jr. as a Class II director to serve a three-year term on the Company's Board of Directors.

        3.     The ratification of the selection of BDO USA, LLP, our independent registered public accountant, to audit our consolidated financial statements for 2010.

        4.     The approval of the adjournment or postponement of the annual meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the meeting to adopt the Purchase Agreement.

        5.     The transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting.

        Our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, this proxy statement and the accompanying notice of annual meeting and certain other proxy materials were first made available to our stockholders on the Internet, at http://www.emrise.com, on or about July     , 2010. The annual report is not to be regarded as proxy soliciting material or as a communication through which any solicitation of proxies is made.

        The shares represented by each properly executed unrevoked proxy will be voted as directed by the stockholder with respect to the matters described in the proxy. If no direction is made, the shares represented by each properly executed proxy will be voted "FOR" each of the proposals listed on the proxy.

        You may revoke or change your proxy at any time before it is voted, except as otherwise described herein. If you are the registered stockholder (that is, you hold your Company shares in certificated form), you may revoke or change your proxy before it is voted by:

•

filing a notice of revocation, which is dated a later date than your proxy, with the Company's Secretary;

•

submitting a duly executed proxy card bearing a later date;

•

submitting a new proxy by telephone or through the Internet at a later time, but not later than 11:59 p.m., eastern time, on July     , 2010, or the day before the meeting date, if the annual meeting is adjourned or postponed; or

1

•

voting by ballot at the annual meeting (simply attending the annual meeting will not constitute revocation of a proxy).

        If your Company shares are held in "street name," you should follow the instructions of your broker, bank or other nominee regarding revocation or change of proxies in order to revoke or change your proxy. If your broker, bank or other nominee allows you to submit a proxy by telephone or the Internet, you may be able to change your vote by submitting a proxy again by telephone or the Internet.

        At the close of business on June 7, 2010, the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the 2010 annual meeting, we had issued and outstanding 10,213,412 shares of common stock. Only holders of record of our common stock at the close of business on the record date are entitled to notice of and to vote at the annual meeting or at any adjournments and postponements of the meeting.

        Each share of our common stock issued and outstanding on the record date entitles the holder of that share to one vote at the 2010 annual meeting for all matters to be voted on at the meeting. The holders of a majority of our shares of common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for purposes of voting on the proposals. Votes cast at the 2010 annual meeting will be tabulated by the person or persons appointed by us to act as inspector of election for the meeting. Shares of our common stock represented in person or by proxy (regardless of whether the proxy has authority to vote on all matters), as well as abstentions and broker non-votes, will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the meeting.

        For Proposal 1, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our outstanding common stock entitled to vote at the meeting will constitute stockholder approval of the Purchase Agreement. For Proposal 2, the election of one Class II director to our Board of Directors, the nominee receiving the highest number of votes will be elected, as directors are elected by a plurality. Approval of Proposal 3, the ratification of the selection of our independent registered public accountants, is not required. However, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock entitled to vote at and present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting will constitute stockholder ratification of the selection of our independent registered public accountants.

        In the event that there are insufficient votes at the time of the 2010 annual meeting of stockholders to adopt the Purchase Agreement, the appointed proxy will have the authority to adjourn or postpone the meeting to a future date, which will be announced at the 2010 annual meeting of stockholders.

        Under the rules of the NYSE, if a broker or other financial institution holds your shares in its name and you do not provide your voting instructions to them, then that firm has discretion to vote your shares for certain routine matters. Proposal 3, the ratification of the selection of our independent registered public accountants to audit our consolidated financial statements for 2010, is a routine matter.

        However, the broker or other financial institution that holds your shares in its name does not have discretion to vote your shares for non-routine matters. The approval of the Purchase Agreement (Proposal 1) and the election of directors (Proposal 2) are non-routine matters and the firm that holds your shares in its name may not vote on those items absent your instruction. When a firm votes a client's shares on some but not all of the proposals at the 2010 Annual Meeting, the missing votes are referred to as "broker non-votes." Those shares will be included in determining the presence of a quorum at the 2010 Annual Meeting, but are not considered "present" for purposes of voting on the non-routine items. Because Proposal 1 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding

2

common stock, rather than a majority of the common stock present in person or by proxy at the meeting, a broker non-vote could have the effect of a no-vote on Proposal 1.

        As of June 7, 2010, the record date for the annual meeting, the directors and executive officers of the Company held and are entitled to vote, in the aggregate, 667,324 shares of the Company common stock (excluding options), representing approximately 6.34% of the voting power of the Company. Each of our directors and executive officers have informed the Company that they intend to vote all of their Company shares "FOR" the approval and adoption of the Purchase Agreement, "FOR" any adjournment or postponement of the annual meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies, "FOR" the election of Laurence P. Finnegan, Jr. as a Class II director to serve a three-year term on the Company's Board of Directors and "FOR" the ratification of the selection of our independent registered public accountant to audit our consolidated financial statements for 2010.

        Although it is not currently expected, the annual meeting may be adjourned or postponed for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies. Despite the absence of a quorum, the Chairman of the annual meeting or a majority of the shares held by stockholders present in person or by proxy at such meeting may adjourn the annual meeting to another time and place, and it shall not be necessary to give any notice of the adjourned meeting if the time and place to which the annual meeting is adjourned are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned annual meeting, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted on the original date of the meeting. Any adjournment or postponement of the annual meeting for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies will allow the Company stockholders who have already sent in their proxies to revoke them prior to their use at the annual meeting, when it is reconvened following such adjournment or postponement, in the manner described above.

        We will pay the expenses of soliciting proxies for the 2010 annual meeting, including the cost of preparing, assembling and mailing the proxy solicitation materials. Proxies may be solicited personally, by mail, by internet or by telephone, or by our directors, officers and regular employees who will not be additionally compensated. We have engaged Georgeson Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the annual meeting. The matters to be considered and acted upon at the 2010 annual meeting are referred to in the preceding notice and are discussed below more fully.

        If you have more questions about the 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or the Purchase Agreement or how to submit your proxy, or if you need additional copies of this proxy statement or the enclosed proxy card or voting instructions, please contact our proxy solicitor, Georgeson Inc., toll-free at (866) 295-3782, or EMRISE Corporation, 611 Industrial Way, Eatontown, New Jersey 07724, Attention: Secretary, or by telephone at (732) 389-0355. Banks and brokers may call Georgeson Inc. at (212) 440-9800.

PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE TRANSACTION

        You are being asked to consider and vote upon the approval and adoption of the Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 7, 2010, by and among Buyer and Seller relating to the sale by Seller, and the purchase by Buyer, of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of CCI, the direct parent and owner of 80% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of ACC, and the sale by Seller, and the purchase by Buyer, of the remaining 20% of the outstanding shares of common stock of ACC, which are owned by Seller (the "Transaction"). As a result of the Transaction, ACC will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Buyer. A copy of the Purchase Agreement is attached to this proxy statement as Annex A.

        EMRISE (including each of its direct subsidiaries), are parties to a Credit Agreement, as amended, with its lender, GVEC Resource IV Inc. (the "Lender"), an affiliate of Private Equity Management Group LLC. As of June 1, 2010, the outstanding principal balance owed to the Lender for the term loans was $7.6 million and the balance owed on the revolving line of credit was

3

approximately $4.9 million, which fluctuates daily depending on cash collections and advances. In addition, approximately $360,000 in accrued interest and fees were outstanding on the term loans and revolver as of the same date. The Credit Agreement matures on July 16, 2010. In January 2010, we agreed to sell certain assets and to use a significant portion of the proceeds to pay off the obligations owed to the Lender. The Company's primary purpose in engaging in the Transaction is to meet its commitment under the amended Credit Agreement and pay off the obligations owed to the Lender. If the Transaction is not consummated on a timely basis, the Lender could accelerate the debt and exercise its rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement.

SUMMARY OF THE STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This summary highlights selected information from this proxy statement and may not contain all of the information that is important to you. To understand the Purchase Agreement fully, and for a more complete description of the legal terms of the Transaction, as defined herein, you should carefully read this entire proxy statement, Annex A attached to this proxy statement and the documents referred to in this proxy statement.

This proxy statement contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2010 and other Company filings with the SEC.

Summary of the Transaction

        On June 7, 2010, Aeroflex Incorporated ("Buyer") and EMRISE Electronics Corporation ("Seller") entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") relating to the sale of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Advanced Control Components, Inc. ("ACC") and all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Custom Components, Inc. ("CCI"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement Seller will sell to Buyer (a) all of the outstanding shares of common stock of CCI, which currently owns 80% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of ACC, and (b) the remaining 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of ACC, which are currently owned by Seller. Seller is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Purchase Agreement provides for Buyer to pay to Seller $20 million in cash, subject to a potential net working capital adjustment. An amount equal to $1 million will be placed in an escrow account to satisfy any indemnification claims. Stockholders of the Company will not receive any consideration as a result of the Transaction. For purposes of Section 271 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Transaction, when consummated, will constitute the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company.

Termination Payments

Carmine T. Oliva

        We may terminate Mr. Oliva's employment at any time, with or without due cause. "Due cause" includes any intentional misapplication of our funds or other material assets, or any other act of dishonesty injurious to us, or conviction of a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude. "Due cause" also includes abuse of controlled substances or alcohol and breach, nonperformance or nonobservance of any of the terms of his employment agreement, provided that Mr. Oliva fails to satisfactorily remedy the performance problem following 30 days' written notice.

        Mr. Oliva may terminate his employment at any time, with or without good reason. However, termination for good reason must occur within 90 days of the occurrence of an event constituting good reason, and Mr. Oliva must furnish us with written notice of the event within 30 days after the initial existence of the event and provide us with at least a 30-day cure period. "Good reason" includes: a material diminution in his authority, duties, responsibilities, titles or offices; a purported reduction in Mr. Oliva's base salary amounting to a material diminution in his salary to an amount less than 10% below the base salary in effect at the time of the reduction; and our failure to timely cure or diligently initiate a cure of any material breach within 30 days after Mr. Oliva gives us written notice of the breach.

        If we terminate Mr. Oliva's employment for due cause or due to Mr. Oliva's breach of his employment agreement by refusing to continue his employment, or if Mr. Oliva terminates his employment without good reason, then all compensation and benefits for Mr. Oliva will cease, other than amounts under retirement and benefit plans and programs that were earned and vested by the date of termination, pro rata annual salary through the date of termination, any stock options that were vested as of the date of termination, and accrued vacation as required by California law.

        If Mr. Oliva becomes incapacitated, we may terminate his employment under the agreement upon 30 days' prior written notice. Upon Mr. Oliva's death, the agreement terminates immediately. If Mr. Oliva's employment terminates due to his incapacity or death, Mr. Oliva or his estate or legal representative will be entitled to receive benefits under our retirement and benefits plans and programs that were earned and vested at the date of termination, a prorated incentive bonus for the fiscal year in which incapacity or death occurred (to the extent he would otherwise be eligible), and a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to one year of his then current annual salary, grossed up to cover applicable taxes that are deducted from such amount.

        If Mr. Oliva's employment terminates for good reason or other than as a result of due cause, incapacity, death or retirement, Mr. Oliva will be entitled to his salary through the end of the month in which termination occurs plus credit for accrued vacation, and a prorated incentive bonus, if eligible, for the fiscal year during which termination occurred. In addition, under those circumstances, if

12

Mr. Oliva enters into a separation and release agreement with us, then he will be entitled to receive (i) a severance payment equal to three times his then current annual salary (grossed up to cover applicable taxes that are deducted from such amount), (ii) all medical insurance benefits to which he was entitled immediately prior to the date of termination for a period of eighteen months or the date that Mr. Oliva's continued participation in our medical insurance plan was not possible under the plan, whichever was earlier, (iii) a lump-sum cash payment equal to eighteen times the estimated monthly COBRA premiums at the time of termination (taking into account all known or anticipated premium increases) to be used by Mr. Oliva to maintain his medical insurance coverage for an additional eighteen months, and (iv) a lump-sum cash payment equal to thirty-six times the estimated monthly life insurance premiums at the time of termination (taking into account all known or anticipated premium increases) to be used by Mr. Oliva to maintain his existing group life insurance coverage and the $1,000,000 life insurance policy on his life for three years. If our medical insurance plan did not allow Mr. Oliva's continued participation, then we will be required to pay to Mr. Oliva, in monthly installments, the monthly premium or premiums for COBRA coverage, covering the eighteen month period described in clause (ii) in the preceding sentence.

        As of June 17, 2010, Mr. Oliva's employment arrangement was modified. Before such modification, Mr. Oliva was entitled to receive a payment equal to three times his then current annual salary (grossed up to cover applicable taxes that are deducted from such amount) immediately preceding the occurrence of a change in control, regardless of whether Mr. Oliva's employment terminated or he received severance payments as a result of the change in control. Under the modified arrangement that went into effect as of June 17, 2010, Mr. Oliva will only be entitled to receive a payment for a change in control if his employment is terminated by the Company without due cause or by Mr. Oliva for good reason, in both cases within nine months of such change in control. Under these circumstances, Mr. Oliva would be entitled to receive $125,000 in addition to his previous and continuing termination severance amounts. In consideration for these modifications to his employment arrangement and in connection with the potential sale of the stock of ACC as described in detail in Proposal 1 herein, Mr. Oliva will also be entitled to receive, upon the earlier of the closing of the Transaction or the first of any other change in control event, both a lump sum payment of $85,000 and an aggregate of $135,000 paid over four months beginning one month after such closing. The amount of any future severance that Mr. Oliva would be entitled to receive under his employment agreement will be reduced by $125,000 of these payments.

        A "change in control" includes the following circumstances:

(a)

the acquisition by any person or group of beneficial ownership of securities entitled to vote generally in the election of our directors ("voting securities") that represent 40% or more of the combined voting power of our then outstanding voting securities or 50% or more of the combined fair market value of our then outstanding stock, other than:



(i)

an acquisition by a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by us or any person controlled by us or by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by us or any person controlled by us, or



(ii)

an acquisition of voting securities by us or a corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by our stockholders in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of our stock;



(b)

a majority of members of our board is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of members of our board before the date of the appointment or election, excluding any individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person other than our board;

13

(c)

the acquisition by any person or group, or combined acquisitions during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or group, of ownership of assets from us that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 40% of the total gross fair market value of all of our assets immediately before such acquisition; and



(d)

stockholder approval of a complete liquidation or dissolution of our company.

        Notwithstanding circumstance (a) above, however, if we make an acquisition of our securities that (x) causes our voting securities beneficially owned by a person or group to represent 40% or more of the combined voting power of our then outstanding voting securities or (y) causes our stock beneficially owned by a person or group to represent 50% or more of the combined fair market value of our then outstanding stock, the acquisition will not be considered an acquisition by any person or group for purposes of circumstance (a) unless the person or group subsequently becomes the beneficial owner of additional securities of EMRISE.

        For purposes of circumstance (a) above, the calculation of voting power will be made as if the date of the acquisition were a record date for a vote of our stockholders, and for purposes of circumstance (c) above, the calculation of voting power will be made as if the date of the consummation of the transaction were a record date for a vote of our stockholders.

        Notwithstanding the above, there will be no change in control event when there is a transfer to an entity that is controlled by our stockholders immediately after the transfer. A transfer of assets by us is not treated as a change in control if the assets are transferred to: a stockholder of ours (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to the stockholders' stock; an entity, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by us; a person or group that owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of all of our outstanding stock; or an entity, at least 50% of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a person or group described in the immediately preceding clause.

Graham Jefferies

        Mr. Jefferies may terminate his employment at any time, with or without good reason. However, termination for good reason must occur within 30 days of the occurrence of an event constituting good reason. The term "good reason" has the same meaning as in Mr. Oliva's employment agreement described above.

        We may terminate Mr. Jefferies' employment at any time, immediately upon written notice, with or without due cause. The term "due cause" has the same meaning as in Mr. Oliva's employment agreement described above, except that Mr. Jefferies may satisfactorily remedy the performance problem following 90 days' written notice. If we terminate Mr. Jefferies' employment for due cause or due to Mr. Jefferies' breach of his employment agreement by refusing to continue his employment, or if Mr. Jefferies terminates his employment without good reason, then all compensation and benefits for Mr. Jefferies will cease, other than amounts under retirement and benefit plans and programs that were earned and vested by the date of termination, pro rata annual salary through the date of termination, and any stock options that were vested as of the date of termination, and accrued vacation as required by applicable law.

        If Mr. Jefferies becomes mentally or physically incapable of performing the services required under the agreement for a period of 180 consecutive days, the agreement terminates; provided, however, that Mr. Jefferies will remain an employee of EMRISE Electronics Ltd. and be entitled to remuneration in an amount equal to the amount paid under EMRISE Electronics Ltd.'s permanent health insurance scheme, subject to the paragraph immediately below. Upon Mr. Jefferies' death, the agreement terminates immediately.

14

        If Mr. Jefferies' employment terminates due to his incapacity or death, Mr. Jefferies or his estate or legal representative will be entitled to receive benefits under our retirement and benefits plans and programs that were earned and vested at the date of termination, a prorated incentive bonus for the fiscal year in which incapacity or death occurred (to the extent he would otherwise be eligible), and a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to one year of his then current annual salary, grossed up to cover applicable taxes that are deducted from such amount.

        If Mr. Jefferies' employment terminates for good reason or other than as a result of due cause, incapacity, death or retirement, Mr. Jefferies will be entitled to his salary through the end of the month in which termination occurs plus credit for accrued vacation, and a prorated incentive bonus, if eligible, for the fiscal year during which termination occurred. In addition, under those circumstances, if Mr. Jefferies enters into a separation and release agreement with us, then he will be entitled to receive a severance payment equal to two times his then current annual salary (grossed up to cover applicable taxes that are deducted from such amount), to receive all medical and life insurance benefits to which he was entitled immediately prior to the date of termination (or at the election of Mr. Jefferies in the event of a change in control, immediately prior to the date of the change in control) for a period of two years or the date or dates that Mr. Jefferies' continued participation in our medical and/or life insurance plans was not possible under the plans, whichever was earlier. If our medical and/or life insurance plans did not allow Mr. Jefferies' continued participation, then we will be required to pay to Mr. Jefferies, in monthly installments, the monthly premium or premiums that had been payable by us covering the two-year period.

        As of June 18, 2010, Mr. Jefferies' employment arrangement was also modified. Before such modification, Mr. Jefferies was entitled to receive a payment equal to two times his then current annual salary (grossed up to cover applicable taxes that are deducted from such amount) immediately preceding the occurrence of a change in control, regardless of whether Mr. Jefferies' employment terminates and/or he receives severance payments as a result of the change in control. Under the modified arrangement that went into effect as of June 18, 2010, Mr. Jefferies will only be entitled to receive a payment for a change in control if his employment is terminated by the Company without due cause or by Mr. Jefferies for good reason, in both cases within nine months of such change in control. Under these circumstances, Mr. Jefferies would be entitled to receive $100,000 in addition to his previous and continuing termination severance. In consideration for these modifications to his employment arrangement and in connection with the potential sale of the stock of ACC, as described in detail in Proposal 1 herein, Mr. Jefferies will also be entitled to receive, upon the earlier of the closing of the Transaction or the first of any other change in control event, both a lump sum payment of $80,000 and an aggregate of $105,000 paid over four months beginning one month after such closing. In addition, Mr. Jefferies will be paid retention payments of $4,300 every other week from June 1, 2010 through May 30, 2011 (aggregating $111,800) as long as he remains employed by the Company.

D. John Donovan

        Mr. Donovan's current employment arrangement is described below. In anticipation of the significant changes to the Company caused by the sale of ACC, and other divisions of the Company including RO Associates, Digitran, and XCEL Japan, the Company is evaluating the finance department of Emrise, including whether it will continue to require a separate chief financial officer, and whether reorganization of the current finance team can meet or will exceed the Company's requirements going forward from the closing of the Transaction. This decision will be significantly impacted by the closing of the Transaction. In the event that the Company were to determine that it should eliminate the role of chief financial officer before closing the Transaction, then Mr. Donovan would be entitled to receive his full termination severance, pursuant to his employment agreement, equal to his then current annual salary (grossed up to cover applicable taxes that are deducted from such amount), as well as some additional payments related to continuing benefits, but he will not be

15

entitled to receive any change in control payment contemplated under his current arrangement. If his role is not eliminated before the close of the Transaction, then he would be entitled to the change in control payment described below and his employment agreement would remain in place.

        Mr. Donovan's current arrangement is as follows: Mr. Donovan is permitted to terminate his employment at any time, with or without good reason. However, termination for good reason must occur within 90 days of the occurrence of an event constituting good reason, and Mr. Donovan is required to furnish us with written notice of the event within 30 days after the initial existence of the event and provide us with at least a 30-day cure period. The term "good reason" has the same meaning as in Mr. Oliva's employment agreement described above.

        If we terminate Mr. Donovan's employment for due cause or due to Mr. Donovan's breach of his employment agreement by refusing to continue his employment, or if Mr. Donovan terminates his employment without good reason, then all compensation and benefits for Mr. Donovan would cease, other than amounts under retirement and benefit plans and programs that are earned and vested by the date of termination, pro rata annual salary through the date of termination, any stock options that are vested as of the date of termination, and accrued vacation as required by California law.

        If Mr. Donovan becomes incapacitated during his employment arrangement, we are permitted to terminate his employment under his arrangement upon 30 days' prior written notice. Upon Mr. Donovan's death, the agreement terminates immediately. If Mr. Donovan's employment terminates due to his incapacity or death, Mr. Donovan or his estate or legal representative is entitled to receive benefits under our retirement and benefits plans and programs that are earned and vested at the date of termination, a prorated incentive bonus for the fiscal year in which incapacity or death occurs (to the extent he would otherwise have been eligible), and a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to one year of his then current annual salary, grossed up to cover applicable taxes that are deducted from such amount.

        If Mr. Donovan's employment terminates for good reason or other than as a result of due cause, incapacity, death or retirement, Mr. Donovan is entitled to his salary through the end of the month in which termination occurs plus credit for accrued vacation, and a prorated incentive bonus, if eligible, for the fiscal year during which termination occurs. In addition, under those circumstances, if Mr. Donovan enters into a separation and release agreement with us, then he is entitled to receive (i) a severance payment equal to his then current annual salary (grossed up to cover applicable taxes that are deducted from such amount), (ii) all medical insurance benefits to which he was entitled immediately prior to the date of termination for a period of eighteen months or the date that Mr. Donovan's continued participation in our medical insurance plan is not possible under the plan, whichever is earlier, and (iii) a lump-sum cash payment equal to $1,650 to be used by Mr. Donovan to maintain his existing life insurance coverage for a period of eighteen months. If our medical insurance plan does not allow Mr. Donovan's continued participation, then we are required to pay to Mr. Donovan, in monthly installments, the monthly premium or premiums for COBRA coverage, covering the eighteen month period described in clause (ii) in the preceding sentence.

        Immediately preceding the occurrence of a change in control, and regardless of whether Mr. Donovan's employment terminates and/or he receives severance payments as a result of the change in control, Mr. Donovan is entitled to receive a payment equal to his then current annual salary (grossed up to cover applicable taxes that are deducted from such amount).

        The terms "due cause" and "change in control" have the same meaning as in Mr. Oliva's employment agreement described above.

INFORMATION ABOUT OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS,
BOARD COMMITTEES AND RELATED MATTERS

Board Composition, Responsibilities and Leadership Structure

        Our business, property and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board of Directors. Directors are kept informed of our business through discussions with our executive officers, by reviewing materials provided to them and by participating in meetings of our board and its committees.

        Our bylaws provide that our Board of Directors shall consist of at least four directors. Our board is divided into three classes of directors: Class I, Class II and Class III. The term of office of each class of directors is three years, with one class expiring each year at our annual meeting of stockholders. We currently have four directors on our board, with no vacancies. Our current board consists of one Class I director whose term expires at our 2012 annual meeting, one Class II director whose term expires at our 2010 annual meeting, and two Class III directors whose terms expire at our 2011 annual meeting.

        During 2009, our board held 10 meetings. During 2009, none of our directors attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of: (1) the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors (held during the period for which he has been a director); and (2) the total number of meetings held by all committees of the board on which he served (during the periods that he served).

19

        The independent members of our Board of Directors are selected because of their independence from management; depth of understanding of technology, manufacturing, sales and marketing, finance and/or other elements directly relevant to the technology and business of EMRISE; education and professional background; and judgment, skill, integrity and reputation.

        The leadership of our Company and our board is split between the executive and chairman leadership of Mr. Oliva, our founder, on the one hand and our independent directors, which make up 75% of the board, on the other hand. Mr. Oliva has over 40 years of experience in the electronics and communications industry. His in-depth knowledge of each of our businesses and the competitive challenges each business faces, as well as his extensive experience as a director and senior member of management, make him the best qualified director to serve as chairman. Our independent directors are strong leaders with diverse educations, skills and backgrounds. They are appropriately skeptical, leading to thorough review and oversight of the strategies and actions proposed by the chairman and management. The independent members meet regularly in executive session, with the most qualified member taking the lead in such sessions based on the issues being discussed. The board may subsequently decide to change its leadership structure, as there is no formal policy that requires the chief executive and chairman to be served by one person.

        We believe the combination of Mr. Oliva as our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman in combination with our strong independent board members has been an effective leadership structure for EMRISE. The division of duties and the level of communication between the board and our management provides the basis for the proper functioning of our board and its oversight of management.

Risk Oversight

        Our Board of Directors is responsible for consideration and oversight of risks facing EMRISE and its subsidiaries in the ordinary course of operating the businesses. Together with the Board's standing committees, the Board is responsible for ensuring that material risks are identified and managed appropriately. The Board and its committees regularly review material strategic, operational, financial, compensation and compliance risks with senior management and discuss the key risks to our business. The committees communicate the risks they oversee with the other committees and the Board, as a whole. The Audit Committee is responsible for discussing overall risk assessment and risk management practices, as set forth in the Audit Committee's charter. For example, the Audit Committee assists the Board in its risk oversight function by reviewing and discussing with management our system of disclosure controls and our internal controls over financial reporting. The Audit Committee also performs a central oversight role with respect to financial and compliance risks and meets at least quarterly with our independent auditor, BDO USA, LLP. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assists the board in its risk oversight function by periodically reviewing and discussing with management important compliance and quality issues. The Compensation Committee considers risk in connection with its design of compensation programs for our executives. At this time, the Compensation Committee does not believe that the risks arising from the Company's compensation policies and practices for its employees are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Code of Ethics

        Our Board of Directors has adopted an Amended and Restated Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees and an additional Code of Business Ethics that applies to our Chief Executive Officer and senior financial officers. These codes are available on our Internet website, located at http://www.emrise.com.

        We intend to satisfy the disclosure requirement under Item 5.05 of Form 8-K relating to amendments to or waivers from provision of these codes that relate to one or more of the items set forth in Item 406(b) of Regulation S-K, by describing on our Internet website within four business days

20

following the date of a waiver or a substantive amendment, the date of the waiver or amendment, the nature of the amendment or waiver, and the name of the person to whom the waiver was granted.

        Information on our Internet website is not, and shall not be deemed to be, a part of this proxy statement or incorporated into any filings we make with the SEC.

Board Committees

        Our Board of Directors currently has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Audit Committee

        The Audit Committee selects our independent registered public accountants; reviews the results and scope of the audit and other services provided by our independent registered public accountants; reviews our financial statements for each interim period and for our year end and our internal financial and accounting controls; and recommends, establishes and monitors our disclosure controls and procedures. Our three independent directors, Messrs. Finnegan, Baskin, and Mahmarian, served on our audit committee throughout 2009, with Mr. Finnegan serving as chairman. Our Board of Directors has determined that Messrs. Finnegan and Mahmarian are audit committee financial experts. The Audit Committee operates pursuant to a charter approved by our Board of Directors and Audit Committee, according to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Audit Committee held five meetings in 2009.

Compensation Committee

        The Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing and administering our policies involving the compensation of all of our executive officers and establishing and recommending to our Board of Directors the terms and conditions of all employee and consultant compensation and benefit plans. Our entire Board of Directors also may perform these functions with respect to our employee stock option plans. Messrs. Finnegan and Mr. Baskin have served on the Compensation Committee throughout 2009, with Mr. Baskin serving as chairman. Mr. Mahmarian was appointed to the Compensation Committee in March 2008. The Compensation Committee operates pursuant to a charter approved by our Board of Directors and Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee held two meetings in 2009.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

        The Compensation Committee of EMRISE's Board of Directors for the year ended December 31, 2009 consisted of Messrs. Finnegan, Baskin and Mahmarian, none of whom have served as an officer or employee of EMRISE. No executive officer of EMRISE served as a director or Compensation Committee member of any entity in which the members of the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors were an executive officer or director.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

        The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews and provides oversight with regard to our corporate governance related policies and procedures and also recommends nominees to our Board of Directors and committees of our Board of Directors, develops and recommends to our Board of Directors corporate governance principles, and oversees the evaluation of the Board of Directors and management. Messrs. Baskin, Mahmarian and Finnegan have served on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee throughout 2009. Mr. Mahmarian serves as chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee utilizes a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating nominees for director, including

21

candidates that may be referred by stockholders. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held one meeting in 2009.

        The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider candidates for director recommended by any stockholder that is the beneficial owner of shares representing more than 1.0% of the then-outstanding shares of our common stock and that has beneficially owned those shares for at least one year. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate those recommendations by applying its regular nominee criteria and considering the additional information described in the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee's below-referenced charter. Stockholders that desire to recommend candidates for the board for evaluation may do so by contacting EMRISE in writing, identifying the potential candidate and providing background and other information in the manner described in the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee's charter. Candidates may also come to the attention of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee through current board members, professional search firms and other persons. In evaluating potential candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will take into account a number of factors, including, among others, the following:

•

independence from management;

•

depth of understanding of technology, manufacturing, sales and marketing, finance and/or other elements directly relevant to the technology and business of our company;

•

education and professional background;

•

judgment, skill, integrity and reputation;

•

existing commitments to other businesses as a director, executive or owner;

•

personal conflicts of interest, if any; and

•

the size and composition of the Board of Directors.

        In addition, prior to nominating a sitting director for re-election at an annual meeting of stockholders, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers the director's past attendance at, and participation in, meetings of our Board of Directors and its committees and the director's formal and informal contributions to their respective activities.

        The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee strives to maintain a Board of Directors with a diverse set of skills and qualifications, to ensure that the Board of Directors is adequately serving the needs of our stockholders. Before evaluating director candidates, the committee reviews the skills and qualifications of the directors currently serving on the board and identifies any areas of weakness or skills of particular importance. On the basis of that review, the committee will evaluate director candidates with those identified skills. While the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have a formal policy on board diversity, the committee takes into account a broad range of diversity considerations when assessing director candidates, including individual backgrounds and skill sets, professional experiences and other factors that contribute to our board having an appropriate range of expertise, talents, experiences and viewpoints, and considers those diversity considerations, in view of the needs of the board as a whole, when making decisions on director nominations.

        The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee operates pursuant to a charter approved by our Board of Directors and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Committee Charters

        The charters of our audit, compensation and nominating committees, and our codes of business conduct and ethics, are included on our website at http://www.emrise.com. The foregoing information is

22

also available in print to any stockholder who requests it. All such requests should be in writing and should be sent to "c/o Secretary" at 611 Industrial Way, Eatontown, New Jersey 07724 or jdonovan@emrise.com.

Stockholder Communications with the Board of Directors

        The Board of Directors has established a process to receive communications from stockholders. Stockholders and other interested parties may contact any member (or all members) of the Board of Directors, or the independent directors as a group, any committee of the Board of Directors or any chair of any such committee, by mail or electronically. To communicate with the Board of Directors, any individual directors or any group or committee of directors, correspondence should be addressed to the Board of Directors or any such individual directors or group or committee of directors by either name or title. All such correspondence should be sent "c/o Secretary" at 611 Industrial Way, Eatontown, New Jersey 07724. To communicate with any of our directors electronically, stockholders should send an email to our Secretary, D. John Donovan, at: jdonovan@emrise.com.

        All communications received as set forth in the preceding paragraph will be opened by the Secretary for the sole purpose of determining whether the contents represent a message to our directors. Any contents that are not in the nature of advertising, promotions of a product or service, patently offensive material or matters deemed inappropriate for the Board of Directors will be forwarded promptly to the addressee. In the case of communications to the Board of Directors or any group or committee of directors, our Secretary will make sufficient copies (or forward such information in the case of e-mail) of the contents to send to each director who is a member of the group or committee to which the envelope or e-mail is addressed.

Policy With Regard to Board Members' Attendance at Annual Meetings

        It is our policy that our directors are invited and encouraged to attend all of our annual meetings. At the date of our 2009 annual meeting, we had four members on our Board of Directors, all of whom were in attendance at our 2009 annual meeting.

Report of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors

        Management is responsible for the preparation of the Company's financial statements and the Company's independent registered public accountants are responsible for auditing those statements. In connection with the preparation of the financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2009, the Audit Committee (i) reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management; (ii) discussed with the independent registered public accountants the matters required to be discussed under Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, "Communication with Audit Committees," as amended, and Rule 2-07 "Communication With Audit Committees," of Regulation S-X of the Rules of the SEC; and (iii) received the written report, disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accountants required by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Rule 3526, "Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence," and the Audit Committee has reviewed, evaluated and discussed with that firm the written report and its independence from the Company. The Audit Committee also has discussed with management of the Company and the independent registered public accountants such other matters and received such assurances from them as the Audit Committee deemed appropriate.

        Based upon these reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended, and the Board of Directors approved, the inclusion of the Company's audited financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, for filing with the SEC.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Director Independence

        Our Board of Directors has determined that each of Messrs. Baskin, Finnegan and Mahmarian is independent under Rule 5.3(k) of the NYSE Arca Equities Rules because none of those directors has, or during the past three years has had, a material relationship with us, either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us, and none of those directors is disqualified from being deemed independent under any of subparagraphs (A)-(F) of Rule 5.3(k)(1) of the NYSE Arca Equities Rules. Our Board of Directors has also determined that each member of the audit committee is independent under Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act.

        Under the NYSE Arca Equities Rules, the non-management members of our Board of Directors must meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management, with a non-management director presiding over each executive session. A presiding director for each session is selected by the board members in attendance at the session based upon the topics to be discussed at the session. The non-management directors can be contacted by calling the chairman of the audit committee. Further, if the non-management directors include directors who are not independent, then we should at least once a year schedule an executive session including only independent directors. Under the NYSE Arca Equities Rules, we must disclose if any member of our nominating committee or compensation committee is not independent.

Transactions with Related Persons

        We are party to indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. The indemnification agreements and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws require us to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews, approves and ratifies any transactions between the Company and related persons.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

        Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our common stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. These officers, directors and stockholders are required by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all reports that they file.

        Based solely upon a review of copies of the reports furnished to us during the year ended December 31, 2009 and thereafter, or any written representations received by us from directors, officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of our common stock that no other reports were required, we believe that, (i) during 2009, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our directors and officers were met and (ii) except for any Form 5 filings that may have been required, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to the beneficial owners of more than 10% of our common stock were met.

the possibility that the expected Transaction will not be realized, or will not be realized within the expected time period;

•

our ability to continue to borrow funds under the revolver terms of our credit facility;

•

whether or not our stockholders will approve the Transaction and whether the Transaction will close by the maturity date of our credit facility;

•

the ongoing revenues and profitability of the Company will be substantially reduced as a result of our sale of ACC in order to satisfy our debt obligations. This will have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations, financial condition and ability to continue operations;

•

our ability to decrease operating costs to improve our bottom line following the expected Transaction, which will result in lower than expected net proceeds;

•

our ability to find and secure alternate financing to our current credit facility on or before the expected closing date on July 16, 2010, including a replacement revolver facility in the event the obligations under the current facility are paid in full;

•

our inability to compete directly against ACC, RO Associates or our Digitran operations as a result of previous or currently contemplated sales of such whereby we are prohibited under the relevant sale agreements;

•

the possible cash flow impact of future claims that may be brought against us pursuant to the representations, warranties and indemnification provisions of the Purchase Agreement and in the sale purchase agreements for the sales of RO Associates and our Digitran operations;

•

our ability to successfully merge with or acquire other companies in the communications business segment;

•

our ability to organically grow our European based aerospace and defense divisions;

•

exposure to and impacts of various international risks including legal, business, political and economic risks associated with our international operations, also including the impact of foreign currency translation;

•

the projected growth or contraction in the electronic devices and communications equipment markets in which we operate;

•

our strategies for expanding, maintaining or contracting our presence in these markets;

27

•

anticipated and unanticipated trends in our financial condition and results of operations;

•

our ability to meet our working capital and other financing needs;

•

our ability to distinguish ourselves from our current and future competitors;

•

our ability to secure long term purchase orders;

•

our ability to deliver against existing or future backlog;

•

technical or quality issues experienced by us, our suppliers and/or our customers;

•

failure to comply with existing or future government or industry standards and regulations;

•

our ability to successfully locate, acquire and integrate any possible future acquisitions;

•

our ability to successfully support the working capital needs of our company;

•

the impact of current and/or future economic conditions, including but not limited to the overall condition of the stock market, the overall credit market, the global recession, political, economic and/or other constraints which are or may negatively impact the industries in which we participate and/or the ability for us to market the products which we sell; and

•

our ability to successfully compete against competitors that in many cases are larger than we, have access to significantly more working capital than we and have significant resources in comparison to us.

        Other factors include the possibility that the Transaction does not close, including due to the failure to receive required regulatory approvals, or the failure of other closing conditions.

        EMRISE cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. EMRISE is also subject to risks and uncertainties and other factors discussed in documents incorporated by reference in this proxy statement, including EMRISE's most recently filed Form 10-K and Form 10-Q and any amendments thereto. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning EMRISE, the 2010 Annual Meeting, the Purchase Agreement, the Transaction, the related transactions or other matters attributable to EMRISE or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. EMRISE does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, relating to the matters discussed in this document.

PROPOSAL 1
APPROVAL OF STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTION

Summary of the Transaction

        On June 7, 2010, Buyer, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Seller entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") relating to the sale of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of ACC and all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of CCI. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Seller will sell to Buyer (a) all of the outstanding shares of common stock of CCI, which currently owns 80% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of ACC and (b) the remaining 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of ACC, which are currently owned by Seller. In exchange, Buyer agrees to pay Seller $20 million in cash at closing, subject to a potential net working capital adjustment. An amount equal to $1 million will be placed in an escrow account to satisfy any indemnification claims. The Transaction is expected to close shortly after the meeting of stockholders if the stockholders approve the Transaction. EMRISE intends to use a significant portion of the proceeds to pay off all but $1 million of the obligations under its senior credit facility and approximately half of the approximately $6.6 million debt owed to the previous shareholders of ACC, which amounts are owed in connection with the deferred purchase price obligations, contingent notes and other related payments. If the Transaction does not close on a timely basis, EMRISE's senior Lender could accelerate the debt and exercise its rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement. Stockholders of the Company will not receive any consideration as a result of the Transaction. The Transaction, when consummated, will constitute the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company.

(the "Lender"), an affiliate of Private Equity Management Group LLC ("PEM"), originally entered into in November 2007. As of June 1, 2010, the outstanding principal balance owed to the Lender for the term loans was $7.6 million and the balance owed on the revolving line of credit was approximately $4.9 million, which fluctuates daily depending on cash collections and advances. In addition, approximately $360,000 in accrued interest and fees were outstanding on the term loans and revolver as of the same date. The Credit Agreement matures on July 16, 2010.

        In late April 2009, the SEC brought charges against the Lender, its affiliate PEM and certain of its principals, alleging violations of the federal securities laws, including fraud and misrepresentation. Such charges never alleged that EMRISE was involved or implicated in any way in such alleged fraud and misrepresentations. The SEC was successful in having a receiver appointed for PEM and its affiliated entities, including the Lender.

        Working capital from continuing operations was negatively impacted in 2009 and 2010 due to reclassification of the Company's debt from long term to short term in 2009 based on an acceleration of the maturity date under the Credit Agreement to June 30, 2010, which was subsequently adjusted to July 16, 2010, and due to the accrual of additional contingent cash consideration associated with ACC related earn-out payments and the Seller Notes. The reclassification of debt and acceleration of the maturity date on the credit facility resulted in a negative working capital position, prompted EMRISE to make certain liquidity disclosures and resulted in management including a statement that there was substantial doubt for the Company to continue as a going concern in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, reported in November 2009. These results and statements caused concern among certain credit reporting agencies and with certain of the Company's vendors and customers. These concerns, coupled with higher planned shipments to be made in the fourth quarter of 2009, and limits on the Company's ability to borrow additional funds beyond its current credit facility resulted in supply interruptions from vendors and corresponding delays in Company shipments during the fourth quarter of 2009.

        Based on the global economic crisis, market conditions, the impact of the circumstances described above and related factors, and the Company's financial results at the time, including working capital from continuing operations, the Company was not able to raise capital through an equity issuance as was required by December 31, 2009 under the Credit Agreement. In addition, based on its operating results at the time, the Company was concerned that it would not be in compliance with certain financial covenants in the Credit Agreement as of the end of the fiscal year on December 31, 2009. The Company entered into negotiations with the Lender in December 2009 regarding these circumstances, strategies to pay the debt by the maturity date and a potential forbearance on the

30

anticipated defaults. The Lender granted short term forbearance on these potential defaults while the discussions continued into January 2010.

        On January 25, 2010, the Company and the Lender agreed to an Amendment to the Credit Agreement that had the effect of a long-term forbearance. Under the Amendment, most of the financial covenants and the obligation to raise capital in an equity offering were eliminated and EMRISE agreed to sell certain assets, including ACC, and to use a significant portion of the proceeds of such sales to pay off the obligations owed to the Lender. The Company's primary purpose in engaging in this Transaction is to comply with the Credit Agreement and pay off its obligations owed to the Lender. In addition, the Company intends to pay approximately half of the approximately $6.6 million debt owed to Seller Noteholders and one Noteholder will accept $450,000 worth of Company common stock as partial payment on his contingent note, which will leave a balance owed to Seller Noteholders of approximately $2.85 million. Subject to certain terms and conditions and in connection with the Transaction, the Lender has agreed to waive all accrued fees, which totaled approximately $240,000 as of June 1, 2010, and to accept a note in the principal amount of $1.0 million (which equals 8% of the $12.5 million total debt outstanding as of June 1, 2010). The note will be payable interest only on a monthly basis for the first 17 months, with equal monthly payments of principal plus interest due thereafter through maturity. The note will be payable at a rate of 12.5% per annum during the first 12 months and 15.5% per annum thereafter until paid in full, plus any applicable default rate or late fees. If the Transaction is not consummated on a timely basis, the Lender could accelerate the debt and exercise its rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement.

        With the support of its investment banker, Boenning & Scattergood, Inc. ("Boenning"), EMRISE sold RO Associates in March 2010. We also went on to develop and execute on an auction process to sell ACC with the support of our investment banker. That process included sending a short, no names teaser to approximately 200 potential buyers, including both strategic buyers and financial buyers. Of this group, approximately 50 potential buyers signed non-disclosure agreements and received more detailed information about ACC. Teasers and more detailed confidential memorandums were sent out during January and February, 2010 and the management presentations were conducted on various days from March 15 to March 25, 2010. After reviewing these materials and receiving preliminary indications of interest, ten potential buyers were selected to participate in management presentations at ACC's offices and facility in March 2010. On March 26, 2010, the potential buyers interested in proceeding with a transaction submitted bid proposals, including a mark up of a draft stock purchase agreement. At that time, four proposals were submitted. The three potential buyers with offers that presented the most value were contacted by Boenning regarding certain aspects of their proposals.

        After this process, the Company entered into two, successive limited exclusive periods with two potential buyers, each of whom conducted detailed financial, operational and legal due diligence, and negotiations of definitive stock purchase agreements were conducted. After the termination of the second exclusivity period on May 15, 2010, the Company briefly discussed a potential transaction with another potential buyer that sent an unsolicited proposal. At the same time, the Lender indicated its deteriorating belief that a deal could close in time to pay the debt by maturity and that it was considering selling the debt at a discount into the distressed debt market. Based on another unsolicited proposal, the Company considered a potential recapitalization of the Company. However, the Company determined that pursuing such a transaction would put the Company at risk of defaulting on the Credit Agreement milestones and/or the Lender selling the debt to unfriendly distressed debt buyers.

        At the same time, Aeroflex submitted a revised proposal, a second potential buyer submitted a verbal offer with a reduced purchase price and a third potential buyer opted not to submit a new offer. The Company then entered into a new exclusivity with Aeroflex at 5:00 p.m. on May 21, 2010, negotiated the definitive agreement and facilitated Aeroflex's final due diligence activities. At the same time, EMRISE negotiated with the holders of the Seller Notes to allow approximately half of the debt owed under the Seller Notes to remain outstanding and with the Lender regarding a discount to par

31

and waiver of the accrued fees or a limited term debt to remain outstanding. The lender later agreed to extend the maturity date of the Credit Agreement from June 30, 2010 to July 16, 2010.

        On June 7, 2010, Buyer and Seller entered into a Purchase Agreement relating to the sale of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of ACC and all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of CCI. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Seller will sell to Buyer (a) all of the outstanding shares of common stock of CCI, which currently owns 80% of the issued and outstanding shares of ACC and (b) the remaining 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of ACC, which are currently owned by Seller. In exchange, Buyer agreed to pay Seller $20 million in cash at closing, subject to a potential net working capital adjustment. An amount equal to $1 million will be placed in an escrow account to satisfy any indemnification claims. The Transaction is expected to close shortly after the meeting of stockholders if the stockholders approve the Transaction.

        If the Transaction is approved by the stockholders, approximately $11.8 million of the obligations owed to the Lender under the Credit Agreement will be paid in full directly out of the purchase price and the Lender will issue a 24 month term note for $1 million at an annual interest rate of 12.5% for the first 12 months and 15.5% for months 13 through maturity. Payments on the note will be interest only for the first 17 months with equal monthly payments in the amount of approximately $143,000 thereafter through maturity. It should be noted that the $11.8 million obligation to be paid to the Lender at the closing of the Transaction could be reduced to as low as $8.6 million or increased to as much as $12.7 million, depending on the actual balance outstanding on the revolver at the time of the closing of the Transaction. In addition, the Company intends to pay approximately half of the approximately $6.6 million debt owed to the Seller Noteholders and one Noteholder will accept $450,000 worth of Company common stock as partial payment on his contingent note. This will leave EMRISE with approximately $2.85 million of debt remaining outstanding under the Seller Notes and $1 million outstanding with its Lender. The maturity of the Seller Notes will be extended to three years from the closing date of the Transaction, with current quarterly interest payments at prime plus 1% and quarterly principal payments of approximately $237,000 beginning on July 2, 2012 with a balloon payment of principal on the maturity date of approximately $1.9 million.

Our Reasons for the Transaction

        Our Board of Directors, at its meeting held on June 6, 2010, considered the Purchase Agreement and determined it to be fair to, advisable and in the best interests of our Company and our stockholders. In evaluating the Transaction, our board of directors consulted with management, as well as our legal and financial advisors, and considered a number of factors. In addition, our Board of Directors had many discussions about the potential sale of ACC and many of the factors listed below at numerous other board meetings held in the weeks and months leading up to its June 6^th meeting. Listed below are the material factors that our Board of Directors considered in its decision:

•

the financial terms of the Transaction;

•

its review of our business, operations, financial condition and earnings on an historical and a prospective basis with respect to the Company and ACC, as a division of the Company;

•

the impending maturity date and amount of the debt owed to its Lender as well as to the Seller Noteholders and the sources from which these debts could be paid;

•

the possible alternatives to the proposed Transaction, including continuing to operate our Company with ACC and CCI, selling other assets of the Company, a recapitalization of the Company, refinancing of the debt, or equity raise, and the risks associated with such alternatives, including particularly whether an alternative could be successfully closed on a timely basis, if at all;

32

•

limited access to capital and resources to pay our debt to the Lender under the Credit Agreement when due, and to operate or expand our business;

•

the process through which our Company, with the assistance of our financial advisor, engaged in or sought to learn and facilitate the interest of potential buyers and then engage in discussions with potential buyers;

•

the evaluation by our Board of Directors of the risks and benefits from the proposed Transaction;

•

changes in the economic, industry or political climate that may negatively impact demand for our future products of our continuing operations;

•

the financial presentations of Boenning , including the opinion, dated June 6, 2010, to our Board of Directors as to the fairness, from a financial point of view and as of the date of the opinion, of the proposed sale of all of the issued and outstanding shares of CCI and ACC, as more fully described under the caption "Fairness Opinion of Boenning" beginning on page 35;

•

the terms of the Purchase Agreement;

•

the regulatory, corporate and other approvals required in connection with the Transaction and the likelihood that such approvals would be received without unacceptable conditions; and

•

the fact that some of our executive officers may have certain interests relating to their employment agreements, in connection with the Transaction, that are in addition to their interests as stockholders, including as a result of employment and compensation arrangements with us and the manner in which they would be affected by the Transaction. See "Interests of the Company's Directors and Executive Officers in the Transaction" beginning on page 42.

        The foregoing discussion of the factors considered by our Board of Directors is not intended to be exhaustive, but, rather, includes the material factors considered by our Board of Directors. In reaching its decision to approve the Purchase Agreement, the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, our Board of Directors did not quantify or assign any relative weights to the factors considered, and individual directors may have given different weights to different factors. Our Board of Directors considered all these factors as a whole, and overall considered the factors to be favorable to, and supportive of, its determination.

Fairness of the Transaction

Fairness Opinion of Boenning

        On June 6, 2010, Boenning rendered its oral opinion to the Board of Directors of EMRISE (which was subsequently confirmed in writing by delivery of Boenning's written opinion dated June 6, 2010) to the effect that, subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth therein, as of June 6, 2010, the consideration offered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to EMRISE.

        Boenning's opinion was for the information of the Board of Directors of EMRISE in connection with its evaluation of the proposed sale of ACC. It addressed only the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be received by EMRISE in the Transaction pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and did not address any other aspects or implications of the Transaction. The summary of Boenning's opinion in this proxy statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of its written opinion, which is included as Annex B to this proxy statement and sets forth the procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken and other matters considered by Boenning in preparing its opinion. However, neither Boenning's written opinion nor the summary of its opinion and the related analyses set forth in this proxy statement are intended to be,

33

and do not constitute, advice or a recommendation to any stockholder as to how such stockholder should act or vote with respect to any matter relating to the Transaction.

        In arriving at its opinion, Boenning:

•

reviewed a draft of the Purchase Agreement in substantially final form;

•

reviewed certain internal financial analyses, historical financials, financial forecasts, reports, operating performance and other information we deemed relevant concerning ACC and CCI, all of which was provided to us by, or on behalf of, the management of EMRISE;

•

held discussions with certain members of the management of EMRISE, CCI and ACC concerning the historical and current business operations, financial condition and prospects of EMRISE, CCI and ACC and such other matters Boenning deemed relevant;

•

analyzed certain financial and industry data, stock market and other publicly available information relating to the businesses of other companies whose operations we considered relevant in evaluating those of CCI and ACC and considering, to the extent publicly available, the financial terms of certain other transactions which Boenning deemed relevant in evaluating the Transaction; and

•

conducted such other financial analyses, studies and investigations as Boenning deemed appropriate.

        With the consent of EMRISE, Boenning relied upon and assumed, without independent verification, (a) the accuracy and completeness of all data, material and other information furnished, or otherwise made available, to it, discussed with or reviewed by it, or publicly available, and did not assume any responsibility with respect to such data, material and other information, (b) there had been no change in the business, assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects of ACC since the date of the most recent financial statements provided to it that would be material to its analyses or the opinion, (c) there was no information or any facts that would make any of the information reviewed by it incomplete or misleading, (d) the representations and warranties of all parties to the Purchase Agreement were true and correct, (e) each party to the Purchase Agreement would fully and timely perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed by such party, (f) all conditions to the consummation of the Transaction would be satisfied without waiver thereof, (g) the Purchase Agreement would be consummated in a timely manner in accordance with the terms described in the Purchase Agreement, without any amendments or modifications thereto, (h) the Transaction would be consummated in a manner that complies in all respects with all applicable federal and state statutes, rules and regulations, (i) all governmental, regulatory, and other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the Transaction would be obtained and that no delay, limitations, restrictions or conditions would be imposed or amendments, modifications or waivers made that would have an effect on EMRISE that would be material to Boenning's analyses or its opinion and (j) that the final form of the Purchase Agreement would not differ from the draft of the Purchase Agreement identified above in any respect material to its analyses.

        Furthermore, in connection with Boenning's opinion, Boenning was not requested to make, and did not make, any physical inspection or independent appraisal or evaluation of any of the assets, properties or liabilities (fixed, contingent, derivative, off-balance-sheet or otherwise) of CCI, ACC or any other party, nor was Boenning provided with any such appraisal or evaluation. Boenning did not estimate, and expressed no opinion regarding, the liquidation value of any entity or business. Boenning did not undertake independent analysis of any potential or actual litigation, regulatory action, possible unasserted claims or other contingent liabilities, to which EMRISE, CCI or ACC was or may be a party or was or may be subject, or of any governmental investigation of any possible unasserted claims or other contingent liabilities to which EMRISE was or may be a party or is or may be subject.

34

        Boenning's opinion is necessarily based on financial, economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to it as of, the date of its opinion. Boenning did not undertake, and is under no obligation, to update, revise, reaffirm or withdraw its opinion, or otherwise comment on or consider events occurring after the date of its opinion.

        Boenning's opinion does not constitute a recommendation to the Board of Directors or the stockholders of how to vote or to take any action with regard to the Transaction. Boenning's opinion should not be construed as creating any fiduciary duties. The opinion may not be quoted or referred to, in whole or in part, in any document, or used for any other purpose, without Boenning's written consent. Boenning has consented to the use of its opinion in this proxy statement.

        Boenning's opinion only addresses the fairness to EMRISE, from a financial point of view, of the consideration and does not address any other aspect or implication of the Transaction or any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into in connection therewith or otherwise including, without limitation: (i) the underlying business decision of EMRISE or any other party to proceed with the Transaction, (ii) the terms of any arrangements, understandings, agreements or documents related to, or the form or any other portion or aspect of, the Transaction or otherwise (other than the consideration to the extent expressly specified herein) and whether such terms were the best attainable under the circumstances, (iii) the fairness of any portion or aspect of the Transaction to the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of EMRISE, or to any other party, (iv) the relative merits of the Transaction as compared to any alternative business strategies that might exist for EMRISE, CCI and/or ACC or the effect of any other transaction in which EMRISE, CCI and/or ACC might engage, (v) the solvency, creditworthiness or fair value of EMRISE, CCI and/or ACC or any other party to the Transaction, or any of such their respective assets, under any applicable laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or similar matters, or (vii) the fairness, financial or otherwise, of the amount, nature or any other aspect of any consideration received by EMRISE's, CCI's and/or ACC's officers, directors or employees or any class of such persons relative to the consideration to be received by the shareholders of ACC and CCI in the Transaction, if any, or with respect to the fairness of such compensation. Furthermore, no opinion, counsel or interpretation is intended in matters that require legal, regulatory, accounting, insurance, tax or other similar professional advice. It is assumed that such opinions, counsel or interpretations have been or will be obtained from the appropriate professional sources. Furthermore, Boenning relied, with the consent of EMRISE, on the assessments by EMRISE and its advisors, as to all legal, regulatory, accounting, insurance and tax matters with respect to EMRISE and the Transaction. The issuance of this opinion was approved by a committee authorized to approve opinions of this nature.

        In preparing its opinion to the Board of Directors of EMRISE, Boenning performed a variety of analyses, including those described below. The summary of Boenning's valuation analyses described below is not a complete description of the analyses underlying Boenning's opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process involving various quantitative and qualitative judgments and determinations with respect to the financial, comparative and other analytic methods employed and the adaptation and application of those methods to the unique facts and circumstances presented. As a consequence, neither Boenning's opinion nor the analyses underlying its opinion are readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Boenning arrived at its opinion based on the results of all analyses undertaken by it and assessed as a whole and did not draw, in isolation, conclusions from or with regard to any individual analysis, analytic method or factor. Accordingly, Boenning believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses, analytic methods and factors, without considering all analyses and factors or the narrative description of the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the processes underlying its analyses and opinion.

        In performing its analyses, Boenning considered business, economic, industry and market conditions, financial and otherwise, and other matters as they existed on, and could be evaluated as of, the date of its opinion. No company, transaction or business used in Boenning's analyses for

35

comparative purposes is identical to ACC or the Transaction. While the results of each analysis were taken into account in reaching its overall conclusion with respect to fairness, Boenning did not make separate or quantifiable judgments regarding individual analyses. In addition, any analyses relating to the value of assets, businesses or securities do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which businesses or securities actually may be sold, which may depend on a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control and the control of Boenning. Much of the information used in, and accordingly the results of, Boenning's analyses are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty.

        The following is a summary of the material valuation analyses performed in connection with the preparation of Boenning's opinion rendered to the Board of Directors of EMRISE on June 6, 2010. The analyses summarized below include information presented in tabular format. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the analyses. Considering the data in the tables below without considering the full narrative description of the analyses, as well as the methodologies underlying and the assumptions, qualifications and limitations affecting each analysis, could create a misleading or incomplete view of Boenning's analyses.

Comparable Company Analysis

        Boenning reviewed financial and stock market information of the Company and the following six selected publicly traded companies with similar products, similar operating and financial characteristics and servicing similar markets:

•

Anaren Inc.

•

Applied Signal Technology

•

Filtronic PLC

•

Herley Industries Inc.

•

Micronetics Inc.

•

Spectrum Control Inc.

        Boenning reviewed, among other things, enterprise values of the selected companies, calculated as fully-diluted equity value based on closing stock prices on June 1, 2010, plus debt, minority interest and preferred stock, less cash and equivalents, as a multiple of latest 12 months, calendar year 2010 estimated and calendar year 2011 estimated revenue. Boenning then applied a selected range for latest 12 months, calendar year 2010 estimated and calendar year 2011 estimated revenue multiples of 0.80x to 1.30x, 0.85x to 1.16x, and 0.93x to 1.08x, respectively, derived from the selected companies to corresponding data of ACC. Estimated financial data of the selected companies were based on publicly available research analysts' estimates. Estimated financial data of ACC were based on estimates of EMRISE's management. This analysis indicated an implied value reference range for ACC of approximately $15.3 million to $24.8 million, as compared to the $20 million Aggregate Consideration.

        Although the selected companies were used for comparison purposes, none of those companies is directly comparable to the Company. Accordingly, an analysis of the results of such a comparison is not purely mathematical, but instead involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in historical and projected financial and operating characteristics of the selected companies and other factors that could affect the public trading value of the selected companies or ACC.

36

Comparable Transactions Analysis

        Boenning reviewed the transaction values of the following ten transactions involving similar businesses with disclosed financial metrics. Due to global asset valuation adjustments over the course of 2008, Boenning only used 2008-2010 precedents:

Acquiror	Target
Francisco Partners Management	EF Johnson Technologies, Inc.
Comtech Telecommunications Corp.	CPI International, Inc.
Microsemi Corp.	White Electronic Designs Corp.
Chemring Group plc	Allied Defense Group Inc.
Crane Co.	Merrimac Industries Inc.
Microsemi Corp.	Endwave Defense Systems, Inc.
Astronics Corp.	DME Corporation
Teledyne Limited	Filtronic Defense Ltd.
Cobham Defense Electronic Systems	M/A-Com, Inc.
Comtech Telecommunications Corp.	Radyne Corp.

        Boenning reviewed, among other things, transaction values in the selected transactions, calculated as the purchase prices paid for the target companies, as a multiple of latest 12 months ("LTM") revenue. Boenning then applied a LTM revenue range of multiples of 0.4x to 1.6x, derived from the selected transactions, to the Company's revenue for the corresponding period. Financial data of the selected transactions were based on publicly available information at the time of announcement of the relevant transaction. Financial data of ACC were based on publicly available information. This analysis indicated an implied per share equity value reference range for ACC of approximately $7.6 million to $30.5 million, as compared to the $20.0 million Aggregate Consideration.

        Although the selected transactions were used for comparison purposes, none of those transactions is directly comparable to the merger and none of the companies in those transactions is directly comparable to ACC. Accordingly, an analysis of the results of such a comparison is not purely mathematical, but instead involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in historical financial and operating characteristics of the companies involved and other factors that could affect the acquisition value of such companies or ACC.

Terms of Engagement; Other Matters

        Boenning is regularly engaged to render financial opinions in connection with mergers and acquisitions, financial restructurings, tax matters, ESOP and ERISA matters, corporate planning and for other purposes. Boenning has also acted as financial advisor to EMRISE in connection with, and has participated in certain of the negotiations leading to, the Transaction and certain related transactions and will receive an aggregate fee of approximately $600,000 for such services, a substantial portion of which is contingent upon the consummation of the Transaction. In addition, Boenning is entitled to receive a fee of $250,000 for rendering its opinion, which is not contingent upon the successful completion of the Transaction. EMRISE has agreed to reimburse certain of Boenning's expenses and to indemnify Boenning and certain related parties for certain potential liabilities arising out of its engagement.

        Since Boenning was first engaged in July 2009, it has provided and is currently providing investment banking and financial advisory services to EMRISE. Those services include assistance with financial analysis and due diligence, strategic analysis and counseling, arranging for meetings with potential investors and lenders, attendance at and participation in certain meetings with the current senior lender, and activities related to divestitures, including the sale of RO and ACC and related activities. Compensation received by Boenning from the Company in the past two years for such

37

services consisted of a monthly retainer of $10,000 that was paid during a seven-month period, from July 2009 to January 2010, for an aggregate payment of $70,000 that was credited towards the $250,000 fee owed by the Company upon the sale of RO, plus reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses of approximately $49,000 related to their services. Boenning anticipates being paid a fee of $600,000 upon the successful sale of ACC and $250,000 for providing the fairness opinion, in addition to reimbursement of any additional actual out-of-pocket expenses. Boenning may receive additional compensation from the Company in the future for certain transactions that the Company may enter into, such as further mergers, acquisitions or divestitures or financing transactions.

        In 2009, EMRISE selected Boenning after a lengthy and deliberate process to identify, evaluate and interview investment banking firms for the needs of the Company. The process identified approximately 15 firms, of which 5 were selected for interviews. Boenning was selected in July 2009 as the Company's investment banker for a number of reasons, including its long history as an established investment banking firm that seemed to be less impacted by the turmoil in the investment banking industry than other candidate firms, its reputation, the fee structure it proposed, the availability of a broad spectrum of services it could provide to the Company and because of the professionals at the firm who offered a team-oriented, hands on approach. Based on the Company's experience with Boenning and the due diligence and financial analysis conducted by Boenning in the course of the investment banking services provided since the beginning of its relationship with EMRISE and in connection with the sale process of ACC, the Company determined that Boenning was in a good position to provide the fairness opinion.

Certain Effects of the Transaction

        If the Purchase Agreement is approved and adopted by the Company's stockholders and certain other conditions to the closing of the Transaction are satisfied, ACC will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Buyer. EEC and EMRISE will use a majority of the net proceeds to pay the obligations to its Lender under the Credit Agreement which will satisfy the obligations owed to Lender. Subject to certain terms and conditions and in connection with the Transaction, the Lender has agreed to waive all accrued fees, which totaled approximately $240,000 as of June 1, 2010, and to accept a note in the principal amount of $1.0 million (which equals 8% of the $12.5 million total debt outstanding as of June 1, 2010). The note will be payable interest only on a monthly basis for the first 17 months, with equal monthly payments of principal plus interest due thereafter through maturity. The note will be payable at a rate of 12.5% per annum during the first 12 months and 15.5% per annum thereafter until paid in full, plus any applicable default rate or late fees. The Company will use a portion of the proceeds to pay approximately half of the approximately $6.6 million debt owed to the holders of the Seller Notes and one Noteholder will accept $450,000 worth of Company common stock as partial payment on his contingent note, which will leave a balance owed to Seller Noteholders of approximately $2.85 million.

        The Transaction will not effect the rights granted by nor the validity of stockholders common stock in EMRISE.

        Additional affects of the transaction can be found within the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements included within this Proxy.

NYSE Arca, Inc. Compliance

        On May 24, 2010, EMRISE received notice from the staff of the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the "NYSE Arca") that the Company was no longer in compliance with the minimum total net tangible assets and net worth amounts required for continued listing on the NYSE Arca under NYSE Arca Equities Rule 5.5(h)(3). The Company no longer complies with such continued listing requirements because it had total net tangible assets of less than $500,000 and net worth of less than $2 million at both

38

December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010. Subsequent to the Transaction, EMRISE believes it will be in compliance with these requirements.

        On January 5, 2010, the Company received a similar notice that it was no longer in compliance with the minimum $1.00 per share price required for continued listing on the NYSE Arca under NYSE Arca Equities Rule 5.5(h)(4). On January 11, 2010, the Company notified the staff of the NYSE Arca of its intent to cure such deficiency by selling certain assets of the Company and retiring substantially all of its debt, including debt to the Company's current lender and other debtholders. The NYSE Arca accepted such request and plan on March 1, 2010 and, subsequent to that acceptance, the Company has already implemented certain of the steps outlined in that plan. With the anticipated improvements to our balance sheet, we are hopeful that we will be able to come into compliance with the continued listing requirement of NYSE Arca Equities Rule 5.5(h)(4), but there can be no assurance that we will be able to meet such continued listing requirements.

Strategy for Expanding Business

        EMRISE, post the ACC divestiture, will primarily pursue two core strategies. The first is to capitalize on the Company's edge network timing and synchronization technology through both organic and strategic transaction based growth. The second is to refocus efforts to drive strong growth and cash flow contribution from its global European based Aerospace & Defense business units, especially with the anticipation of an improved economy providing expected growth to the European military markets. We believe a narrow focus on these two strategies, combined with the significantly reduced debt levels this transaction provides us, will provide us with the best chance of maximizing value for our stockholders.

The Communications Equipment and Edge Networking Business

        The Company's edge network and central office timing technology, managed through its CXR Larus business in the United States, provides EMRISE a highly differentiated business with marketable products in a high growth industry. CXR Larus designs and develops timing and synchronization systems that are essential for the efficient operation of the world's digital telecommunication infrastructure. CXR Larus is one among a small select group of manufacturers with the technical resources and knowledge to produce these complex systems. With the growing proliferation of streaming video and ever expanding needs of homeland security, the Company believes these specialized robust timing technologies will enjoy strong growth. The Company believes the Larus technology has already been validated in the market as evidenced by recent customer wins with a number of key U.S. carriers and a large U.S. Federal agency.

        The Company believes that the true market opportunity available with its timing and synchronization technology could be much larger if it could overcome some specific challenges. In particular, the Company believes that a significant portion of the business opportunities in this space exist outside the United States, but Larus, due primarily to its size and resources, has only had limited success in penetrating these international markets. In addition, while the Company believes the Larus technology has been validated through recent customer installations, large networking organizations are always cautious of partnering with smaller firms due to the perceived risk of such companies. Accordingly, EMRISE believes that if it can overcome these two issues through a possible strategic transaction, then significant growth could follow.

Electronic Devices and the U.S. and European Aerospace and Defense Business

        EMRISE believes the industry is ripe for consolidation, including consolidation that can deliver the scale needed to drive much larger revenue growth in these markets and also possibly tap into specific large international markets. The Company has identified a target list of potential, complementary

39

partners and has already had preliminary discussions with some of those potential partners. Successfully joining with other players in this field will be a core focus going forward to drive growth and cash flow in this segment.

        Even though our remaining Aerospace and Defense businesses are based in the U.K., more than 60 percent of their business comes from customers in the U.S. and is denominated in U.S. dollars. The list of customers for this business includes L3 Communications, BAE Systems, GE Aviation, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Panasonic Avionics, ITT, Rockwell Collins, Thales, Siemens, EDS, Alcatel, MBDA Missile Systems, EADS, and a number of other such customers in Europe, Asia and North America.

        The Company's core strategic focus for its electronic devices business going forward is to organically drive growth and cash flow contributions from its global European-based aerospace and defense divisions. While the U.S. military markets have generally remained robust, the European military markets have experienced slower growth in 2010, primarily due to the economic downturn and timing of certain long term contracts. However, EMRISE believes these businesses will enjoy stronger growth in the coming years, especially since the Eurofighter and other such long term programs are anticipated to grow in comparison to recent history. EMRISE also anticipates that the in-flight entertainment market in the U.S. and Europe will expand as the economy improves. EMRISE believes that by focusing its U.K. divisions in these U.S. and European markets, capitalizing on their strong brand name, validated technology and high quality customer base, they can deliver solid organic growth and deliver robust profit contributions.

        EMRISE has differentiated and highly validated technology platforms, strong engineering and management teams, and as a result of the anticipated Transaction, a much improved balance sheet due to the lower debt levels resulting from the anticipated pay down of debt. As a result, the Company expects to be able to better support its working capital and growth needs, and to facilitate strategic transactions. EMRISE believes that it will now be well focused on the execution of its defined strategic plan, which the Company anticipates will provide the best chance of maximizing value for stockholders following the sale of ACC.

        While these two core strategies will be the focus of the Company, EMRISE will stay vigilant with regard to other possibilities to improve its financial condition and grow the Company. For example, the Company will continue to monitor the market for conditions that might allow for a successful equity raise or a recapitalization transaction. Many factors could prevent the Company from successfully executing on these strategies. Subsequent to the sale of ACC, the Company anticipates a negative cash flow from its operations. If the Company is not able to reverse this trend and cannot increase revenue, net income and EBITDA over the near term, the Company may be forced to sell additional assets to further pay down debt or to liquidate the Company.

Interests of the Company's Directors and Executive Officers in the Transaction

        No director, director nominee or executive officer has a substantial interest, whether direct or indirect, in the Transaction. In connection with the Transaction, the Company is amending the employment arrangements with two of its three executive officers. Under the current employment arrangement with the executives, the executives were entitled to a lump sum payment equal to a multiple of their base salary (grossed up for taxes) in the event of a change in control (whether or not their employment was terminated and whether or not they received severance). The Transaction falls within the definition of change in control and therefore would have triggered aggregate payments well in excess of $3 million. In addition, after closing the Transaction, the Company revenues will be materially reduced, which follows the recent disposition of other material assets of the Company. The executives and the Compensation Committee worked together closely to fashion an arrangement that provided, on the one hand, a proper incentive to the executives to close a Transaction, to reward them

40

for the dedication required to close such a major Transaction as well as the other divestitures closed in the recent history of the Company, and to compensate them for releasing the right to receive these change in control payments, while balancing carefully on the other hand the reduced need for executive management of the smaller operations and the Company's anticipated cash needs. As further described herein, based on modified arrangements agreed to by the Company and the executives, upon the earlier of the closing of the Transaction or the first of any other change in control event, (a) Mr. Oliva will receive a lump sum payment of $85,000 and additional monthly payments for four months aggregating $135,000 and (b) Mr. Jefferies will receive a lump sum payment of $80,000 and additional monthly payments for four months aggregating $105,000. Upon the closing of the Transaction, the role of a separate chief financial officer may be eliminated and the employment of Mr. Donovan may be terminated. If Mr. Donovan is terminated, he would be entitled to receive his full termination severance, pursuant to his employment agreement, equal to his then current annual salary (grossed up to cover applicable taxes that are deducted from such amount), as well as some additional payments related to continuing benefits, but he will not be entitled to receive any change in control payment contemplated under his current arrangement. The aggregate payments to be made to the executives based on the closing of the Transaction or the first of any other change in control event is approximately $850,000 which is a fraction of the potential payout well in excess of $3 million if no modifications had been agreed to. If the employment of Mr. Donovan is terminated, the Company intends to promote current members of its finance team to meet the finance and accounting needs of the Company going forward. Mr. Jefferies is also entitled to receive retention payments. Please see "Executive Compensation and Related Information" for a full description of these payments, the employment arrangement modifications and the consideration for the same.

Fees and Expenses

        Whether or not the Transaction is completed, in general, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transaction will be paid by the party incurring those fees and expenses. Fees and expenses incurred or to be incurred by EMRISE in connection with the merger are estimated at this time to be as follows:

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

        In connection with the Transaction, EMRISE expects that it will recognize taxable losses in an amount of the difference of EMRISE's tax basis for the shares of CCI and ACC it is selling to Buyer over the sales price paid by Buyer. EMRISE anticipates that it will generate capital loss carry forwards at a Federal and state level on any such losses that it recognizes from the Transaction. The stockholders of EMRISE will not personally owe any taxes nor will they receive any tax benefits as a result of the Transaction.

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Business

        ADVANCED CONTROL COMPONENTS, INC. ("ACC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Custom Components, Inc. ("CCI") (collectively the "Company"), designs, manufactures and markets proprietary electronic devices for aerospace and defense applications. The Company operates from its facility in Eatontown, New Jersey.

Basis of Presentation

        The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and include the consolidated accounts of CCI and ACC, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. The Company and CCI were acquired by EMRISE Corporation ("EMRISE") on August 20, 2008 (the "Acquisition Date") as discussed in Note 2. The Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 include only those transactions that occurred between the acquisition date and December 31, 2008 while the Company was owned by EMRISE.

        These financial statements are presented without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made.

        Corporate services consisting of general and administrative services are provided from a centralized location by EMRISE to its business segments, including the Company. Such costs are allocated to the applicable segments based on segment revenue. Allocations may not be indicative of costs incurred if the Company was a stand alone business. The Company recorded $1.4 million, $0.4 million and $0.4 million of corporate services for the periods ended December 31, 2009, March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 respectively. No corporate services were recorded in 2008.

Use of Estimates

        The preparation of unaudited financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include cash in banks and deposits with financial institutions that can be liquidated without prior notice or penalty. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Accounts Receivable

        Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company's best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company's existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience, customer payment history, and current economic data. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly.

        Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of their fair value because of the short maturity of these items. The Company believes the carrying amounts of its notes payable approximate fair value because the interest rates on these instruments are subject to change with, or approximate, market interest rates.

Inventories

        The Company's finished goods electronic devices inventories generally are built to order. The Company's products consist of numerous electronic parts and other materials, which necessitates the exercise of detailed inventory management. The Company values its inventory at the lower of the actual cost to purchase or manufacture the inventory (first-in, first-out) or the current estimated market value of the inventory (net realizable value). The Company performs cycle counts of inventories using an ABC inventory methodology, which groups inventory into cycle counting categories, or conducts physical inventories at least once a year. The Company regularly reviews inventory quantities on hand and records a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on its estimated forecast of product demand and production requirements for the next 12 to 24 months. Additionally, to determine inventory write-down provisions, the Company reviews product line inventory levels and individual items as necessary and periodically reviews assumptions about forecasted demand and market conditions. Any inventory that the Company determines to be obsolete, either in connection with the physical count or at other times of observation, are reserved for and subsequently written-off. Total inventory reserves were $0.7 million and $0.6 million, or 22% of total inventory, as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Total inventory reserves were $0.7 million and $0.6 million, or 22% of total inventory, as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

        The electronics devices industry is characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product development, and rapid product obsolescence that could result in an increase in the amount of obsolete inventory quantities on hand. Also, estimates of future product demand may prove to be inaccurate, in which case the Company may have understated or overstated the provision required for excess and obsolete inventory. Although the Company makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of its forecasts of future product demand, any significant unanticipated changes in demand or technological

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

developments could have a significant impact on the value of the Company's inventory and its reported operating results.

Property, Plant and Equipment

        Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed principally using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets (or lease term, if shorter) as follows:

Machinery, equipment and fixtures	3 - 7 years
Leasehold improvements	5 years

        Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, while renewals and betterments are capitalized. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Long-Lived Assets

        The Company reviews the carrying amount of its long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

        Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") guidance for goodwill and other intangible assets disallows the amortization of goodwill and provides for impairment testing of goodwill carrying values on an annual basis or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company performed its annual required tests of impairment as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 for goodwill and found no impairment to goodwill and other intangible assets. At December 31, 2009, our reported goodwill totaled $12.8 million.

        Intangible assets with identifiable useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their useful lives. Definite-lived intangible assets are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization, and are amortized on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives ranging from two to twenty years. The Company periodically reviews the original estimated useful lives of long-lived assets and makes adjustments when appropriate. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset's carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates its intangible assets for impairment by comparing the future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying assets to their respective carrying amounts.

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Product Warranty Liabilities

        Generally, the Company's products carry a standard one-year, limited parts and labor warranty. In certain circumstances, the Company provides a two-year, limited parts and labor warranty on communications test instruments and network access products. Products returned under warranty typically are tested and repaired or replaced at the Company's option. Historically, the Company has not experienced significant warranty costs or returns.

        The Company records a liability for estimated costs that it expects to incur under the basic limited warranties when product revenue is recognized. Factors affecting the warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of claim and costs per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its warranty liability accrual based on changes in these factors.

Concentration of Credit Risk

        Financial instruments, which potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with high quality financial institutions. At times, cash balances may be in excess of the amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

        The Company's accounts receivable result from sales to a broad customer base. The Company extends credit to its customers based upon an evaluation of the customer's financial condition and credit history and generally does not require collateral. Accounts receivable are generally due within 30 days and are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding for longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. Provisions for uncollectible accounts are made based on the Company's specific assessment of the collectibility of all past due accounts. Credit losses are provided for in the financial statements and consistently have been within management's expectations. Two customers represented 30% and 11%, respectively, of the Company's total net sales during 2009. One customer represented 35% of the Company's total net sales during 2008.

Revenue Recognition

        The Company derives revenues from sales of electronic devices. The Company's sales are based upon written agreements or purchase orders that identify the type and quantity of the item and/or services being purchased and the purchase price. The Company recognizes revenues when shipment of products has occurred or services have been rendered, no significant obligations remain on the part of the Company, and collectability is reasonably assured based on the Company's credit and collections practices and policies.

        Revenue recognition depends upon the type of contract involved. Engineering/design services contracts generally entail design and production of a prototype over a term of up to several years, with revenue deferred until each milestone defined in the contract is reached. Production contracts provide for a specific quantity of products to be produced over a specific period of time. Customers issue binding purchase orders or enter into binding agreements for the products to be produced. The Company recognizes revenues on these orders as the products are shipped. Returns are infrequent and permitted only with prior authorization because these products are custom made to order based on

57

CUSTOM COMPONENTS, INC.,

ADVANCED CONTROL COMPONENTS, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

binding purchase orders and are quality tested prior to shipment. An estimate of warranty cost is recorded at the time revenue is recognized.

        Revenues from services such as repairs and modifications are recognized when the service is completed and invoiced. For repairs that involve shipment of a repaired product, the Company recognizes repair revenues when the product is shipped back to the customer. Service revenues contribute less than 5% of total revenue and, therefore, are considered to be immaterial to overall financial results.

Shipping and Handling Costs

        Shipping and handling costs were recorded in cost of goods sold and were $157,000 and $72,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $36,000 and $43,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Advertising Costs

        Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred. Advertising costs for 2009 and 2008 were immaterial.

Income Taxes

        The Company files its federal tax return on a consolidated basis with EMRISE. The Company files a tax return with the State of New Jersey, which is not consolidated with EMRISE. Income taxes in these consolidated financial statements have been computed as if the Company filed on a stand-alone basis. Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at the applicable tax rates. The Company does not have a valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets by assessing its valuation allowance and by adjusting the amount of such allowance, if necessary. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are the Company's forecast of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets. Failure to achieve forecasted taxable income in applicable tax jurisdictions could affect the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets and could result in an increase in the Company's effective tax rate on future earnings. The provision for income taxes represents the tax payable for the year and the change during the year in deferred tax assets and liabilities. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had not recorded any net unrecognized tax benefits associated with uncertain income tax positions.

NOTE 2—ACQUISITION OF ADVANCED CONTROL COMPONENTS

        On May 23, 2008, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), as amended with EMRISE and its wholly-owned subsidiary, EMRISE Electronics Corporation ("EEC"), pursuant to which EEC agreed to acquire the Company.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 2—ACQUISITION OF ADVANCED CONTROL COMPONENTS (Continued)

        The closing of the Purchase Agreement occurred on August 20, 2008. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, EEC acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of CCI and all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of ACC not owned by CCI (the "Acquisition") from the former owners of the Company ("Sellers"). In addition to the purchase price, EMRISE is obligated to pay up to an additional $5 million if the Company meets certain operating income targets for one or both of the two 12 month periods following the closing. Additionally, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, there are provisions for a working capital adjustment to the purchase price as well as an adjustment to net cash.

        In connection with the Acquisition of the Company, EEC issued Subordinated Secured Contingent Promissory Notes (the "Notes"), as amended, to each of the Sellers. The Notes bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal plus 1%. On November 20, 2009, EEC entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Notes with each of the Sellers (collectively, the "Note Amendments") pursuant to which each of the Notes were amended to (a) add $1.3 million (the sum of the closing net cash adjustment and the first earnout payment) to the aggregate principal balance of the Notes, (b) double the original interest rate of each of the Notes (the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal plus 1%) until the aggregate principal balance of the Notes attributable to the closing net cash adjustment and the first earnout payment is repaid, at which time the interest rate shall be reduced back to the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal plus 1%, and (c) revise the payment terms such that no payments are due until July 1, 2010, at which time EEC will make principal payments in the aggregate amount of $1.3 million plus payments of interest accrued on such amount from the issuance date through the date of payment of such aggregate principal amount. The remaining balance of the notes is due in November 2010.

        The following table summarizes the components of the Notes at December 31, 2009 (in thousands):

Aggregate contingent consideration related to original Notes		$	2,000
Working capital adjustment			959
Net cash adjustment			302
Aggregate contingent consideration related to Note Amendments			1,036
	Balance of Notes at December 31, 2009	$	4,297

        In addition to the Notes, the remaining cash contingent consideration of $2.0 million was accrued at December 31, 2009 in other current liabilities in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheet. This amount is also due in November 2010.

        In determining the purchase price for the Acquisition, EMRISE took into account the historical and expected earnings and cash flow of the Company, as well as the value of companies of a size and in an industry similar to the Company, comparable transactions and the market for such companies generally. The initial purchase price represented a premium of approximately $4.1 million over the recorded net worth of the Company's assets.

NOTE 2—ACQUISITION OF ADVANCED CONTROL COMPONENTS (Continued)

        In conjunction with the Acquisition, EMRISE considered whether the Acquisition included various types of identifiable intangible assets, including trade names, trademarks, patents, covenants not to compete, customers, backlog, workforce, technology and software. As a result of the procedures performed and the evaluation of management, EMRISE determined and recorded the value of the tangible and intangible assets in its Consolidated Balance Sheets in accordance with the purchase price allocation.

        The following table summarizes the assets and liabilities assumed in connection with the Acquisition (in thousands):

Accounts receivable		$	2,185
Inventories			1,848
Property and equipment			1,545
Intangible assets, net			4,750
Goodwill			4,073
Other assets			244
	Total assets acquired		14,645
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities			(1,678	)
Other liabilities			(611	)
	Total liabilities assumed		(2,289	)
Net assets acquired		$	12,356

        The Company estimated and recorded the identified intangible assets as follows: trade name of $1,570,000; covenant not to compete of $60,000; backlog of $570,000; and customer relationships of $2,550,000.

        Subsequent to August 20, 2008, the Company recorded contingent consideration in the amount of $6.3 million ($4.3 million recorded as a Note and $2.0 million recorded as other accrued liability), which represented an increase to goodwill. Additional purchase price adjustments reducing goodwill by $0.3 million were also recorded subsequent to the acquisition. In addition, at December 31, 2009 as a result of the sale of one of the subsidiaries of EMRISE, the remaining goodwill was reallocated among the remaining business units within EMRISE's electronic devices reporting unit resulting in an increase to the Company's goodwill of $2.6 million. Total goodwill associated with the Company at December 31, 2009 was $12.8 million.

        The Company recorded depreciation expense associated with its property, plant and equipment of $0.3 million and $0.1 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $0.1 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

NOTE 5—GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

        Goodwill was $12.8 million and $4.1 million at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

        The Company performed its annual impairment test for goodwill as of December 31, 2009 and 2008. In performing the valuations, the Company used cash flows that reflected management's forecasts and discount rates that reflect the risks associated with the current market. The Company considers the results of an income approach and a market approach in determining the fair value of the reporting units. In 2009, For the income approach a growth rate of 4.0% was assumed as a result of expected shipments on existing contracts and future opportunities. The Company discounted the projected cash flows at 14% to determine the fair value for the electronic devices reporting unit. For the market approach, the guideline public company method was used, under which the fair value of a business is estimated by comparing the subject company to similar companies with publicly traded ownership interests. From these "guideline" companies, valuation multiples are derived and then applied to the appropriate operating statistics of the subject company to arrive at indications of value. At December 31, 2009, the Company's reported goodwill totaled approximately $12.8 million. Based on the results of this testing, the fair values of the electronic devices reporting unit exceeded its book values.

        Subsequent to August 20, 2008, the Company recorded contingent consideration of $6.3 million as an increase to goodwill. Additional purchase price adjustments reducing goodwill by $0.3 million were also recorded subsequent to the acquisition. The following table reflects changes in the Company's goodwill balances for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 (in thousands):

        In accordance with FASB guidance for accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, the Company reevaluates the carrying value of identifiable intangible and long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. No events or changes in circumstances occurred during 2009 or 2008 that would have required an impairment analysis to be performed.

        Assuming no additions, disposals or adjustments are made to the carrying values and/or useful lives of the assets, annual amortization expense on intangible assets is estimated to be approximately $295,000 in 2010 and $275,000 in 2011 through 2015. The Company's current intangible assets have a weighted average remaining useful life of approximately 10 years.

NOTE 7—DEBT

        The Company has capital leases relating to capital equipment. The leases generally contain bargain purchase options and expire at various dates through December 31, 2014. Capitalized lease obligations are calculated using interest rates appropriate at the inception of the lease and range from 6% to 18%. Leases are amortized over the lease term using the effective interest method.

        The Company adopted FASB guidance for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes on January 1, 2007. The implementation of this guidance did not result in a material adjustment to the Company's liability for unrecognized income tax benefits. At the time of adoption and as of March 31, 2010, the Company had recorded no net unrecognized tax benefits. The Company currently has no open matters with tax authorities nor is it engaged in an examination by any tax authority. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in interest expense and selling, general and administrative expense, respectively, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. No interest or penalties were recognized during any of the periods presented. As of March 31, 2010, the Company had nothing accrued for interest and penalties.

        The Company files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction, and in the state jurisdiction of New Jersey. The Company is no longer subject to United States federal and state tax examinations for years before 2006 and 2005, respectively.

NOTE 9—RETIREMENT PLANS

        Prior to October 2009, the Company maintained a defined contribution retirement plan (the "401k Plan") covering substantially all employees. The Company's contributions to this retirement plan were $22,000 and $5,000 in the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively and $11,000 and $7,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In October 2009, the Company merged its 401k Plan with the defined contribution retirement plan of EMRISE. Contributions made by EMRISE on behalf of the Company to that plan were $8,000 in the year ended December 31, 2009.

NOTE 10—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases

        The Company conducts its operations from leased facilities under an operating lease that expires in November 2012. The lease requires the Company to pay all maintenance, insurance, property tax costs, and contain provisions for rent increases. Total rent expense, net of sublease income, for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Total rent expense, net of sublease income, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was approximately $85,000 and $87,000, respectively.

        The future minimum rental payments required under operating leases that have initial or remaining non-cancelable lease terms in excess of one year are as follows:

Year ending December 31,		Amount
2010		$	345
2011			345
2012			317
2013 and thereafter			8
	Total	$	1,015

Litigation

        The Company is not currently a party to any material legal proceedings. However, the Company is, from time to time, involved in legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. While the amounts claimed may be substantial, the ultimate liability cannot presently be determined because of considerable uncertainties that exist. Therefore, it is possible the outcome of such legal proceedings, claims and litigation could have a material effect on quarterly or annual operating results or cash flows when resolved in a future period. However, based on facts currently available, management believes such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's unaudited consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Lines of credit

        The Company and certain of its affiliates, including EMRISE, CXR Larus Corporation, CCI and RO Associates Incorporated (collectively, the "Borrowers"), are parties to a Credit Agreement (as amended from time to time the "Credit Agreement") between EMRISE and GVEC Resource IV Inc.

NOTE 10—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

(the "Lender") providing for a credit facility which includes term loans and a revolving credit facility and is secured by accounts receivable, other rights to payment and general intangibles, inventories and equipment. The credit facility includes a revolving credit facility for up to $7,000,000 that expires on June 30, 2010 (the "Revolver").

NOTE 11—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

        The Company has evaluated subsequent events to July 20, 2010, the date the financial statements were available for issue.

Amendments to Credit Facility

        On January 25, 2010, EMRISE and the Lender entered into Amendment Number 8 to Loan Documents, which amends EMRISE's Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2009. All references to the Credit Facility herein refer to the Credit Agreement as amended from time to time. The Credit Facility requires the sale of a significant portion of the Company's assets by June 30, 2010 (the "Maturity Date"). EMRISE is required to achieve certain milestones in connection with these sale activities and the maintenance of maximum capital expenditure financial covenants. The Lender has the current right to appoint an outside observer to review EMRISE's books and records and business operations, with certain limitations designed to minimize disruption to the business operations. In addition, EMRISE must make bi-weekly payments of $75,000 through the Maturity Date. Upon the sale of the assets EMRISE agreed to sell, EMRISE will retain a percentage of the proceeds of some of such sales for working capital and are obligated to use the remaining proceeds to pay down the obligations owed to the Lender. EMRISE is also obligated to provide financial information and status reports to the Lender on a regular basis.

        The practical effect of Amendment 8 was to provide a forbearance by the Lender through the Maturity Date on the equity raise default and the possible financial covenant defaults that was and may have been otherwise triggered under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2009 and allows EMRISE time to sell the specified assets in order to pay down the obligations to the Lender. EMRISE believes that net proceeds from the sales of assets contemplated by the Credit Facility will be sufficient to pay the obligations owed to Lender in full.

        On April 13, 2010, the Borrowers and the Lender entered into Amendment Number 9 to Loan Documents ("Amendment 9"). Among other things, Amendment 9 removes the obligation to sell certain assets while retaining the obligation to sell other assets, and provides some clarity that the Lender will not charge fees for making adjustments to the milestones required to be met before the maturity date, provided certain conditions are satisfied. Except for this amendment, the Credit Agreement remains in full force and affect.

        On May 3, 2010, the Borrowers and the Lender entered into Amendment Number 10 to Loan Documents ("Amendment 10"). Among other things, Amendment 10 modifies the schedule for certain milestone events related to the process for the sale of certain assets of the Borrowers.

        On May 17, 2010, the Borrowers and the Lender entered into Amendment Number 11 to Loan Documents ("Amendment 11"), which amends the Credit Agreement as of May 17, 2010. Among other

67

CUSTOM COMPONENTS, INC.,

ADVANCED CONTROL COMPONENTS, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 11—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (Continued)

things, Amendment 11 modifies the schedule for certain milestone events related to the process for the sale of certain assets of the Borrowers. Except for this amendment, the Credit Agreement remains in full force and effect.

        On June 1, 2010, the Borrowers and the Lender entered into Amendment Number 12 to Loan Documents ("Amendment 12"), which amends the Credit Agreement as of June 1, 2010. Among other things, Amendment 12 modifies the schedule for certain milestone events related to the process for the sale of certain assets of the Borrowers and provides for the Lender's consent to the sale of such assets. Except for these amendments, the Credit Agreement remains in full force and effect.

        On June 11, 2010, the Borrowers and the Lender entered into Amendment Number 13 to Loan Documents ("Amendment 13") on June 17, 2010, which amends the Credit Agreement as of June 11, 2010. Among other things, Amendment 13 extends the maturity date of the Credit Agreement from June 30, 2010 to July 16, 2010 and modifies the schedule for certain milestone events related to the process for the sale of certain assets of the Borrowers. Except for these amendments, the Credit Agreement remains in full force and effect.

        On July 16, 2010, the Borrowers and the Lender entered into Amendment Number 14 to Loan Documents ("Amendment 14"), which amends the Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date from July 16, 2010 to July 31, 2010 and modifies the schedule for certain milestone events related to the process for the sale of certain assets of the Borrowers. Except for these amendments, the Credit Agreement remains in full force and effect.

        If a new event of default were to occur, including the failure to achieve any of the milestones, the Lender could accelerate the debt and exercise its rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement, which could include a foreclosure on EMRISE's assets before the contemplated asset sales could be completed. There can be no assurance that EMRISE will be able to successfully sell the contemplated assets in the agreed time frames and/or at prices sufficient to satisfy the debt owed to Lender, if at all. Even if EMRISE does successfully sell the contemplated assets and pay the obligations owed to the Lender in full, EMRISE's ongoing revenues will be substantially reduced which could have a material adverse affect on its operations and financial condition.

Stock Purchase Agreement

        On June 7, 2010, EMRISE entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement by and among Aeroflex Incorporated ("Aeroflex"), as buyer, and EMRISE, as seller, relating to the sale of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company and CCI (the "Purchase Agreement"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, EMRISE will sell to Aeroflex (a) all of the outstanding shares of common stock of CCI, which currently owns 80% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, and (b) the remaining 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company (collectively, the "Shares"), which are currently owned by EMRISE (the "Transaction").

        In exchange for the Shares, Aeroflex has agreed to pay EMRISE an aggregate purchase price of $20,000,000 in cash (the "Purchase Price"). An amount equal to $1,000,000 will be placed in an escrow account to satisfy any indemnification claims. Approximately $14.6 million of proceeds from the transaction will be used to pay down all of EMRISE's revolver with its principal lender, a significant

NOTE 11—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (Continued)

portion of its term debt with the same lender and a majority of EMRISE's obligations to the previous owners of the Company. EMRISE anticipates retaining approximately $3.9 million in long term debt payable to both its current lender and the previous owners of the Company, all of which has a maturity of at least two years or longer. The Purchase Price may also be adjusted based on the level of adjusted net working capital of the Company at the closing of the Transaction.

        The closing of the Transaction is subject to stockholder approval, compliance with the New Jersey Industrial Site Recovery Act, N.J.S.A. 13:1K-6 et seq., including, without limitation, the General Information Notice, with respect to its New Jersey Properties, obtaining the consent of the Company's senior lender and the Former Shareholders, as defined herein, (both of which have been received) and other customary closing conditions. The closing of the Transaction will satisfy the final milestone under the Credit Agreement. The Purchase Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and indemnities for both EMRISE and Aeroflex.

        In addition, from the date of the Purchase Agreement through the closing date of the Transaction, EMRISE has agreed that neither it nor its affiliates will encourage, solicit, initiate or participate in discussions concerning any alternative acquisition proposal relating to the Company or CCI, provided that EMRISE may entertain a bona fide proposal for an acquisition under certain circumstances. In the event that the Purchase Agreement is terminated either because EMRISE's board changes its recommendation that stockholders vote in favor of the Transaction or EMRISE breaches its obligations under the exclusivity provision of the Purchase Agreement, then EMRISE will be required to pay to Aeroflex a break up fee equal to 4% of the Purchase Price, or $800,000, plus any out of pocket fees, costs and expenses actually incurred and paid by Aeroflex to third party advisors in connection with the Purchase Agreement, up to a maximum of $200,000.

        EMRISE's stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon the approval and adoption of the Purchase Agreement at the 2010 annual meeting of stockholders. Assuming the stockholders approve the Transaction, the Transaction is expected to close shortly after such meeting.

Agreements with Former Shareholders of ACC

        Pursuant to a Master Agreement, dated June 7, 2010, by and among the Borrowers, Charles S. Brand, Thomas P.M. Couse, Joanne Couse, and Michael Gaffney, (the "Master Agreement"), EMRISE will also use a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Company to pay approximately half of the approximately $6.6 million secured debt owed to certain of the Company's previous shareholders, Charles S. Brand, Thomas P.M. Couse, Joanne Couse and Michael Gaffney (collectively, the "Former Shareholders"), which amounts are owed in connection with deferred purchase price obligations, contingent notes and other related payments. Mr. Brand will also accept $450,000 worth of EMRISE's common stock as partial payment on his contingent note, with the per share valuation based on 115% of the volume weighted average price of the shares over a three-day period. The aggregate remaining balance owed to the Former Shareholders will be approximately $2.85 million. The maturity date of the remaining debt has been moved to three years from closing, with quarterly interest payments at prime plus 1% during the first two years and quarterly principal payments of $237,000 each beginning on July 2, 2012 with a balloon payment of principal on the maturity date of approximately $1.9 million.

Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements

        The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements give effect to the terms of the Purchase Agreement in the sale of Advanced Control Components, Inc. ("ACC") and Custom Components, Inc. ("CCI") to the Buyer (the "ACC Transaction"), the repayment of debt and the issuance of stock and are based on the unaudited consolidated statements of operations of ACC included within this proxy, our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 (included as Annex C to this proxy) and the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 (included as Annex D to this proxy) and the related notes, certain estimates, adjustments and assumptions that management believes to be reasonable. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, are presented as if the ACC Transaction and the debt repayment were completed as of January 1, 2009 and the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2010 is presented as if the ACC Transaction, the debt repayment and the stock issuance were consummated at March 31, 2010.

        The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements include adjustments to reflect the effects of the ACC Transaction, the repayment of debt to the Lender under terms of our Credit Agreement and repayment of debt to the former sellers of ACC. These adjustments include the effects of cash proceeds of $20,000,000 (reduced by $1 million to be placed in an escrow account to satisfy any indemnification claims), the repayment of debt obligations to both the Lender and former sellers of ACC and the impact of the ACC Transaction on the line items of the financial statements. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements do not give effect to our receipt of any portion of the $1,000,000 in escrow funds that may be payable to us pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement in the future. In addition, the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments that are unknown to us at this time or that may arise as the sale is finalized.

        Pro forma information is intended to provide investors with information about the continuing impact of a transaction by showing how a specific transaction might have affected historical financial statements, illustrating the scope of the change in the historical financial position and results of operations. The adjustments made to historical financial information give effect to events that are directly attributable to the ACC Transaction, the debt repayment and the stock issuance, factually supportable, and expected to have a continuing impact. The unaudited pro forma financial statements are prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

        The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements set forth below are not fact and there can be no assurance that our actual results will not differ significantly from those set forth below or that the impact of the ACC Transaction, the debt repayment and the issuance of stock will not differ significantly from those presented below. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent, and are not necessarily indicative of, what our actual financial position and results of operations would have been had the ACC Transaction, repayment of debt and issuance of stock occurred on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of our future financial position or results of operations. Therefore, readers of the proxy statement should review the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements set forth below with caution.

EMRISE Corporation

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements

Description of Transaction and Basis of Presentation

        The historical information in the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements is derived from our Unaudited Statements of Operations of ACC included in this proxy, our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 (included in Annex C to this proxy) and the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 (included in Annex D to this proxy) and the related notes. The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 and the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2010 are presented to illustrate the estimated effects of the ACC Transaction on EMRISE had the ACC Transaction occurred on January 1, 2009 for purposes of the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations and at March 31, 2010 for purposes of the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet including, but not limited to, the following:

•

Approximately $14.6 million of proceeds from the transaction will be used to pay down all of the Company's revolver with its principal lender, a significant portion of its term debt with the same lender and a portion of the Company's obligations to the previous owners of ACC. The Company anticipates retaining approximately $3.9 million in long term debt payable to both its current lender and the previous owners of ACC, all of which has a maturity of at least two years or longer; and

•

Each of the other Pro Forma Adjustments described in the notes below.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements do not give effect to our receipt of any portion of the $1 million escrow accounts that may be payable to us pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

Pro Forma Adjustments

        Pro forma information is intended to reflect the impact of the ACC Transaction on our historical financial position and results of operations through adjustments that are directly attributable to the ACC Transaction, factually supportable and expected to have a continuing impact. These Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the pro forma results of operations and financial position set forth above.

A.

The adjustments represent interest expense that was recorded during the periods presented that related to the debt to be paid down as part of the ACC Transaction. These amounts include interest on the revolver and term debt owed to our lender. Additionally, these amounts include amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discount recorded during the quarter, which related to the revolver and term debt.



B.

The Company previously recorded a tax benefit on domestic losses in continuing operations that were recognized for accounting purposes due to domestic income reported within discontinued operations. As a result of the ACC Transaction, discontinued operations is not present and, thus the amount represents the reversal of the tax benefit recorded.



C.

The amount represents the estimated number of shares issued to one of the previous owners of ACC.

PROPOSAL 2
ELECTION OF CLASS II DIRECTOR

        Our bylaws provide that our Board of Directors shall consist of at least four directors. Our board is divided into three classes of directors: Class I, Class II and Class III. The term of office of each class of directors is three years, with one class expiring each year at our annual meeting of stockholders.

        Our current board consists of one Class II director, Laurence P. Finnegan, Jr., whose term expires at our 2010 annual meeting, two Class III directors, Carmine T. Oliva and Richard E. Mahmarian, whose terms expire at our 2011 annual meeting and one Class I director, Otis W. Baskin, whose term expires at our 2012 annual meeting. Mr. Finnegan, Jr. is named as a nominee for election to serve a three-year term expiring at our 2013 annual meeting or until succeeded by another qualified director who has been duly elected.

        The proxy holders intend to vote all proxies received by them in favor of the election of Mr. Finnegan, Jr. unless instructions to the contrary are marked on the proxy. If Mr. Finnegan, Jr. is unable or declines to serve as a director at the time of the annual meeting, an event not now anticipated, the proxies will be voted for any nominee designated by our present board. However, the proxy holders may not vote proxies for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named on the proxy.

Required Vote of Stockholders and Board Recommendation

        Directors are elected by a plurality vote of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting. This means that the director nominee with the most votes for a particular slot on the board is elected for that slot. In an uncontested election for directors, the plurality requirement is not a factor.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE ELECTION OF LAURENCE P. FINNEGAN, JR. AS A CLASS II DIRECTOR.

78

PROPOSAL 3
RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT

        Our audit committee has selected BDO USA, LLP ("BDO"), independent registered public accountants, to audit our consolidated financial statements for 2010, and our Board of Directors has concurred in this selection. Additional information regarding our relationship with our independent public accountants is contained in this proxy statement under the headings "Audit Committee Report," "Principal Accountant Fees and Services," and "Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services of Principal Accountants." We anticipate that a representative of BDO will be present at our 2010 annual meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so at the meeting, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions at the meeting.

Change in Accountants

        Effective April 30, 2009, we dismissed Hein, the independent registered public accounting firm that was engaged as the principal accountant to audit our consolidated financial statements. Effective the same date, we engaged BDO, an independent registered public accounting firm, as the principal accountant to audit our consolidated financial statements. The decision to change the independent registered public accounting firm was approved by our audit committee. The reason for the change was to allow us to engage an audit firm with a larger international network and one that has an office closer to our then largest U.S. subsidiary, Advanced Control Components, Inc. We believe that BDO is providing us a more cost effective and synergistic audit solution. In addition, we believed that BDO has adequate resources and experience to provide us with the global auditing and tax services we require.

        Hein's reports on our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the subsequent interim period through April 30, 2009, there were no disagreements between us and Hein on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Hein, would have caused Hein to make reference to the matter in connection with its reports on our financial statements. During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the subsequent interim period through April 30, 2009, there were no reportable events as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Regulation S-K").

        We did not consult with BDO during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and the subsequent interim period through April 30, 2009 regarding either:

        1.     The application of accounting principles to any specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to BDO nor oral advice was provided that BDO concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or

        2.     Any matter that was either subject of disagreement, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instruction to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event, as that term is explained in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

Principal Accounting Fees and Services

Fees and Services for 2009

        The following table sets forth the aggregate fees billed to us by BDO USA, LLP, our principal accountant, for professional services rendered in connection with the audit of our consolidated financial

79

statements for the year ended December 31, 2009. BDO USA, LLP did not bill us for professional services prior to the year ended December 31, 2009.

Fee Category		2009
Audit Fees		$	326,838
Audit-Related Fees			30,000
Tax Fees			5,000
All Other Fees			—
	Total	$	361,838

        Audit Fees. Audit fees consist of fees billed for professional services for (i) audit of our 2009 consolidated financial statements, (ii) review of the interim consolidated financial statements included in our 2009 quarterly reports, and (iii) services that are normally provided by an independent registered public accounting firm in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

        Audit-Related Fees. Audit related fees in 2009 consisted of fees billed for professional services performed with respect to a disposition completed in 2009 and equity transaction related activities.

        Tax Fees. Tax fees for 2009 consisted of fees billed for professional services for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. These services include assistance regarding federal, state and international tax compliance, tax audit defense, customs and duties, mergers and Transactions, and international tax planning.

        All Other Fees. No other fees were incurred for 2009.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

        Our audit committee pre-approves all services provided by our principal accountant. Our audit committee also considers in advance whether or not to approve any non-audit services to be performed by the independent accounting firm required to be approved by the audit committee pursuant to any applicable rules and regulations.

Required Vote of Stockholders and Board Recommendation

        Although stockholder approval is not required, our Board of Directors has directed that this selection be submitted to our stockholders for ratification at our 2010 annual meeting. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock entitled to vote at and present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting will constitute stockholder ratification of the selection. Abstentions but not broker non-votes will be treated as shares present and entitled to vote on this proposal. Applying that standard, an abstention will have the effect of a vote "against" this proposal, and a broker non-vote will reduce the absolute number (although not the percentage) of the affirmative votes needed for approval of this proposal. If stockholder approval of this proposal is not obtained, our audit committee and Board of Directors may reconsider our appointment of BDO USA, LLP as our independent registered public accountants.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT TO AUDIT OUR CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR 2010.

80

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

        Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, proposals by stockholders that are intended for inclusion in our proxy statement and proxy card and to be presented at our next annual meeting need to be received by us no later than 120 calendar days in advance of the one-year anniversary of the date of this proxy statement, or                           , in order to be considered for inclusion in our proxy materials relating to the next annual meeting. Proposals intended for inclusion in our proxy statement and proxy card for our 2011 annual meeting must be addressed to our secretary at our corporate headquarters and may be included in next year's annual meeting proxy materials if they comply with rules and regulations of the SEC governing stockholder proposals.

        Proposals by stockholders that are not intended for inclusion in our proxy materials may be made by any stockholder who timely and completely complies with the notice procedures contained in our bylaws, was a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice and is entitled to vote at the meeting, so long as the proposal is a proper matter for stockholder action and the stockholder otherwise complies with the provisions of our bylaws and applicable law. However, stockholder nominations of persons for election to our Board of Directors at a special meeting may only be made if our Board of Directors has determined that directors are to be elected at the special meeting.

        To be timely, a stockholder's notice regarding a proposal not intended for inclusion in our proxy materials must be delivered to our Secretary at our corporate headquarters not later than:

•

Typically in the case of an annual meeting, the close of business on the 45th day before the first anniversary of the date on which we first mailed our proxy materials for the prior year's annual meeting of stockholders, or                          , 2011. However, if the date of our 2011 annual meeting changes more than 30 days from the date of our 2010 annual meeting, in order for the stockholder's notice to be timely it must be delivered to our secretary a reasonable time before we mail our proxy materials for the current year's meeting. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a "reasonable time" coincides with any adjusted deadline we publicly announce.

•

In the case of a special meeting, the close of business on the 7th day following the day on which we first publicly announce the date of the special meeting.

        Except as otherwise provided by law, if the chairperson of the meeting determines that a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before a meeting was not made or proposed in accordance with the procedures set forth in our bylaws and summarized above, the chairperson may prohibit the nomination or proposal from being presented at the meeting.

OTHER MATTERS

        The board knows of no matter to come before the annual meeting other than as specified in this proxy statement. If other business should, however, be properly brought before the meeting, the persons voting the proxies will vote them in accordance with their best judgment.

DELIVERY OF THIS PROXY STATEMENT

        The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (such as brokers) to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, known as "householding," potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. This year, a number of brokers with customers who are our stockholders will be "householding" our proxy materials unless contrary instructions have been received from the customers. We will promptly deliver, upon oral or written request, a separate copy of the proxy statement to any stockholders sharing an address to which only one copy was mailed. Requests for additional copies should be directed to our proxy solicitor, Georgeson Inc., 199 Water Street, 26^th Floor, New York, NY 10038 or

81

by toll-free telephone at (866) 295-3782, or to EMRISE Corporation, 611 Industrial Way, Eatontown, New Jersey 07724, Attention: Secretary, or by telephone at (732) 389-0355.

        Once a stockholder has received notice from his or her broker that the broker will be "householding" communications to the stockholder's address, "householding" will continue until the stockholder is notified otherwise or until the stockholder revokes his or her consent. If, at any time, a stockholder no longer wishes to participate in "householding" and would prefer to receive separate copies of the proxy statement, the stockholder should so notify his or her broker. Any stockholder who currently receives multiple copies of the proxy statement at his or her address and would like to request "householding" of communications should contact his or her broker or, if shares are registered in the stockholder's name, our Secretary, at the address or telephone number provided above.

The Escrow Account shall serve as a resource for the satisfaction of the Seller's indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 9.2(a) hereof, and, if necessary, at the Buyer's election, the recovery, in whole or in part, of the Deficiency Payment, if any. The Purchase Price less the Closing Date Indebtedness and the Escrow Deposit shall be referred to herein as the "Closing Payment." The Purchase Price (but not the Escrow Deposit correspondingly) is subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.7.

        (b)   At the Closing, the Buyer will pay the Closing Date Indebtedness to the appropriate Persons by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the Payoff Letters and wiring instructions furnished by such Persons, as set forth on Schedule 2.2(b).

        2.3    Closing.     The consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (the "Closing") shall take place at the offices of Ballard Spahr LLP, 1735 Market Street, 51^st Floor, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103-7599, at 10:00 a.m. local time on the second (2^nd) Business Day following the date on which all the conditions to Closing in Articles VI and VII are satisfied or waived, or at such other place, such other date or at such other time as may be mutually agreed upon in writing by the Parties (the day on which the Closing takes place being the "Closing Date"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Closing will be deemed to have taken place at 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date (the "Effective Time").

A-2

        2.4    Deliveries of the Seller at Closing.     Subject to satisfaction of the conditions to the obligations of the Seller in Article VII, at the Closing, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Buyer the following:

        (a)   all of the certificates evidencing the Shares and the Seller's Company Shares, each duly endorsed for transfer to the Buyer or accompanied by a stock power duly executed in blank; and

        (b)   all of the certificates, resignations, agreements, resolutions, documents and other instruments set forth in Article VI.

        2.5    Deliveries of Buyer at Closing.     Subject to satisfaction of the conditions to the obligations of the Buyer in Article VI, at the Closing, the Buyer shall:

        (a)   Pay the Closing Payment in accordance with Section 2.2(a);

        (b)   Pay the Closing Date Indebtedness to the appropriate Persons pursuant to the Payoff Letters (as applicable) and wiring instructions furnished by such Persons in accordance with Sections 2.2 (b) and the Escrow Deposit to the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 2.2 (a); and

        (c)   deliver to the Seller all of the certificates, agreements, documents and other instruments set forth in Article VII hereof.

        2.6    Closing Date Balance Sheet.

        (a)   Within one hundred and twenty (120) days following the Closing Date, the Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared, at the Buyer's expense and in good faith, and submit to the Seller an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Acquired Companies as of the Effective Date (the "Closing Date Balance Sheet"). The Closing Date Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP consistent in all respects (including classification and presentation of line items) with the Company's Past Practices (the "Accounting Principles"). The Seller shall cooperate with the Buyer to the extent reasonably requested so that the Buyer may prepare or cause to be prepared the Closing Date Balance Sheet within the aforementioned 120-day time period.

        (b)   In the event the Seller disputes the Closing Date Balance Sheet as delivered by the Buyer, the Seller shall provide written notice (a "Notice of Dispute") specifying in reasonable detail all points of disagreement with the Closing Date Balance Sheet to the Buyer within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Closing Date Balance Sheet. If the Seller fails to deliver a Notice of Dispute within such 45-day period, then the Closing Date Balance Sheet as delivered by the Buyer shall be used for purposes of Section 2.7. If the Seller delivers a Notice of Dispute within such 45-day period, the Buyer and the Seller shall endeavor in good faith to resolve all specified points of disagreement within fifteen (15) days after the Buyer's receipt of the Notice of Dispute. If the dispute is not resolved within such 15-day period, either the Buyer or the Seller may refer the dispute to the CPA Firm, which shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator, to finally determine, as soon as practicable, all points of disagreement with respect to the Closing Date Balance Sheet. For purposes of the foregoing, each of the Buyer and the Seller shall submit a proposed Closing Date Balance Sheet to the CPA Firm and to the other Party, accompanied by such additional information explaining its position with respect to the Closing Date Balance Sheet as it desires to submit within the applicable time period described below. Each of the Buyer and the Seller shall, prior to the time of such submission, be free to revise positions they have maintained in prior drafts of the Closing Date Balance Sheet and related discussions, but the Buyer and the Seller shall not be permitted to further modify their proposed Closing Date Balance Sheet once these are submitted to the CPA Firm. The CPA Firm shall deliver its written determination within twenty (20) days following its receipt of the Seller's revised Closing Date Balance Sheet or such longer period of time as the CPA Firm determines necessary (not to exceed sixty (60) days). In making its determination hereunder, the CPA Firm shall apply the terms of this

A-3

Section 2.6, and shall not make a determination that will result in the Seller or the Buyer receiving an amount greater than the amount sought by the Seller or the Buyer, as the case may be. The CPA Firm shall make its determination based solely on the presentations and supporting material provided by the Parties and not pursuant to any independent review or investigation. The fees and expenses of the CPA Firm incurred in connection with the determination of the Closing Date Balance Sheet in accordance with this Section 2.6 shall be allocated equally between the Buyer and the Seller. Each of the Parties shall bear responsibility for their own outside counsel and accounting fees and expenses. All determinations by the CPA Firm shall be final, conclusive and binding with respect to the Closing Date Balance Sheet.

        (c)   The Buyer and the Seller shall cooperate with each other in attempting to resolve any points of disagreement referred to in Section 2.6(b), including the Buyer making reasonably available to the Seller and its representatives, to the extent reasonably requested, all books, records, work papers related to, or relied upon by the Buyer in connection with, the preparation of the Closing Date Balance Sheet; provided, however, that the Seller and its representatives shall conduct their work in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with or disrupt the conduct of the Company after the Closing.

        2.7    Adjustment to the Purchase Price.

        The Purchase Price shall be subject to downward adjustment on a dollar for dollar basis in the event the Adjusted Net Working Capital based on the Closing Date Balance Sheet as finally determined (by agreement or otherwise) in accordance with Section 2.6 is less than the Adjusted Net Working Capital Target Amount. The Seller shall pay to the Buyer the amount of any such Purchase Price adjustment (a "Deficiency Payment") under this Section 2.7 within five (5) Business Days after the amount of the Deficiency Payment has been finally determined. Any Deficiency Payment required under this Section 2.7 shall bear interest from the Closing Date to the date of payment at the Closing Date Interest Rate, which interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed and such interest shall be paid on the same date and in the same manner as the Deficiency Payment. The Deficiency Payment shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

        2.8    Excluded Assets.     Prior to the Closing, the Seller shall cause the Company to pay or distribute to the Seller, as contemplated in Section 8.1(a)(v), effective immediately prior to the Closing, all of the cash of the Company (the "Excluded Assets").

The Seller shall be liable to the Buyer for, and shall hold the Buyer, CCI and the Company harmless from and against, (i) any and all Taxes due or payable by the Company or CCI for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, except to the extent such Taxes have been accrued on the Closing Date Balance Sheet and when taken into account in determining Adjusted Net Working Capital, resulted in a Deficiency Payment, to the extent of the amount of such Deficiciency Payment (ii) the Seller's responsibility for the payment of Transfer Taxes pursuant to Section 8.7(j), and (iii) any Losses arising out of, or in connection with, any breach by the Seller of any of the provisions of this Section 8.7.

If the Seller does not notify the Buyer within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of any such inquiry, examination or proceeding, that the Seller elects to exercise control over the contest and/or settlement thereof (and acknowledge its obligation to indemnify the Buyer with respect thereto pursuant to Section 8.7(a)), the Buyer shall exercise such control, and the Seller shall pay any reasonable expenses in connection therewith. No settlement of any inquiry, examination or proceeding over which the Buyer shall exercise control and with respect to which the Seller has acknowledged its obligation to indemnify the Buyer pursuant to Section 8.7(a)) shall be made without the prior written consent of the Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

        8.8    Exclusivity.

        (a)   From the Effective Date through the Closing Date or the date of any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1 (whichever first occurs), the Seller shall not, and shall cause the Company and its respective Affiliates, stockholders, officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents not to, directly or indirectly, encourage, solicit, initiate or participate in discussions or negotiations with, or provide any information to, any Person or group of Persons (other than the Buyer or any of its Affiliates) concerning any Acquisition Proposal or enter into any agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that, at any time prior to the Closing, if Parent or Seller receives a bona fide Acquisition Proposal that was not solicited after the date of this Agreement and otherwise did not, directly or indirectly, result from a breach of this Section 8.8, the Company and its Affiliates may furnish, or cause to be furnished, non-public information with respect to the Company to the Person who made such Acquisition Proposal and may participate in discussions and negotiations regarding such Acquisition Proposal if (A) the board of directors of Parent (the "Board"), or any committee thereof to which the power to consider such matters has been delegated, determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to do so would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the Board's fiduciary duties to Parent's stockholders under applicable Law, (B) prior to taking such action, the Company enters into a confidentiality agreement with respect to such Acquisition Proposal that contains provisions no less restrictive than the Confidentiality Agreement, and (C) the Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal is reasonably likely to constitute a Superior Proposal. The Seller shall and shall cause its Affliates to immediately notify the Buyer (orally and in writing) of the material terms of any Acquisition Proposal received by any of the Seller or Parent.

        (b)   Prior to the Closing, the Board may not (i) withdraw, qualify or modify in a manner material and adverse to the Buyer, the Board's approval or recommendation, or if applicable, the approval or recommendation of any committee of the Board, of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or recommend, an Acquisition Proposal or (iii) authorize, permit or cause the Company to enter into any definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) collectively, a "Change in Recommendation") unless, in each such case, a Superior Proposal has been made and (x) the Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to Parent's stockholders under applicable Law, and (y) the Seller and its counsel (A) have provided the Buyer with not less than three (3) days notice of the Board's intention to effect a Change in Recommendation, specifying the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and (B) have negotiated with Buyer in good faith to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would enable the Seller to proceed with the transactions contemplated hereby without violating the Board's fiduciary obligations to Parent's shareholders. In the event that the Board makes such determination, the Seller (or, in the case of a sale of substantially all of the Assets, the Company) may enter into a definitive agreement to effect a Superior Proposal, but not prior to two (2) Business Days after the Seller has provided the Buyer with written notice that the Seller has elected to terminate this Agreement.

A-34

        (c)   For purposes hereof, "Superior Proposal" means an Acquisition Proposal which the Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its counsel and financial advisors, will be more favorable to Parent's stockholders than the transaction contemplated by this Agreement taking into account all legal, financial and regulatory aspects and other terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal and the Person making such Acquisition Proposal (including the break up fee payable hereunder, the expense reimbursement provisions and conditions to, and the likelihood of, consummation of such Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that any proposal to purchase the Company which was presented to, and considered by, Parent and/or the Board or any of Parent's Affiliates prior to the execution by Parent of the Exclusivity Agreement with the Buyer ("Prior Proposals"), shall not be deemed to constitute a Superior Proposal.

        (d)   If (i) the Board effects a Change in Recommendation and this Agreement is terminated thereafter pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(vi), or (ii) the Seller or any of its Affiliates breaches the covenants set forth in Section 8.8(a) and this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11(a)(vi)(B), in either of which events the transactions contemplated in this Agreement are not consummated, then, in consideration of the time and effort expended, the costs incurred, and the opportunity lost, Seller and/or Parent (and/or any successor in interest to either of them), shall pay to Buyer as liquidated damages within ten (10) days after the effective date of such termination, a sum equal to four (4%) percent of the Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer (the "Termination Fee"), plus any and all fees, costs and expenses actually incurred out of pocket by Buyer in connection with the structuring of the transaction, the conduct of due diligence and the negotiation, preparation, execution, performance and termination of this Agreement as are reasonable in amount and documented, including, without limitation, all fees and expenses of counsel, financial advisors, accountants and environmental experts in connection with the transactions described in this Agreement in an amount not to exceed Two Hundred Thousand ($200,000) Dollars (the "Termination Expenses").

        8.9    Payoff Letters.     No less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall cause the Company to deliver to the Buyer one or more payoff letters (collectively, the "Payoff Letters") signed by the Lenders, lessors and other financing sources with respect to all Closing Date Indebtedness setting forth, in the aggregate, all amounts necessary to be paid in order to fully pay off all of the Closing Date Indebtedness on the Closing Date and providing that, upon such payment, the Closing Date Indebtedness will be extinguished and all Liens (including the Indebtedness-Securing Liens) relating thereto will be released.

        8.10    Termination of Intercompany Accounts.     The Seller hereby agrees that at or immediately prior to the Closing, it shall take all necessary action to cause all Contracts, commitments or transactions, including all amounts payable or receivable resulting therefrom, between the Company or CCI, on the one hand, and the Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, to be terminated and cancelled and of no further force and effect without any further liability or obligation and without creating any liability on the part of either CCI or the Company for taxable income as a consequence.

        (a)   For a period of four (4) years from the Closing Date, neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall, (i) engage in, directly or indirectly, whether independently or in association with any other Person, own any equity or other ownership interest in, be employed by, consult or work as an independent contractor or agent for, any Person engaged in any Covered Business or otherwise participate in any Covered Business or (ii) own, manage, operate, finance, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation, financing or control of any business or enterprise that engages in the Covered Business. The restrictions set forth in this Section 8.11 shall not be construed to prohibit or restrict any investment by the Seller in any class of publicly traded

A-35

debt securities or Equity Securities of any company engaged in a Covered Business so long as (x) the Seller together with its Affiliates does not hold at any time during such period more than one percent (1%) of the issued and outstanding voting securities of such publicly traded company, or one percent (1%) of the aggregate principal amount of such class outstanding and (y) consistent with this Section 8.11, the Seller or its Affiliates does not otherwise engage in any other activities with respect to such company (whether as a director, officer, employee, agent, representative, consultant or otherwise).

        (c)   In the event any of the terms of this Section 8.11 shall be determined in any Action by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of its being too extensive in any other respect, it will be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable, and/or over the maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable and/or to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable, all as determined by such court in such Action.

        (d)   None of the provisions of this Section 8.11 shall operate to prohibit, hinder, impede or restrict any unaffiliated Person, which, by way of takeover, acquisition, merger, combination or similar transaction, acquires a controlling interest in Parent or any of its Affiliates, including Pascall, from engaging in a Covered Business in the same manner as such Person did prior to such acquisition, takeover, merger, combination, or similar transaction; provided, however, in no event or under any circumstance shall such Person be entitled to use any of the Proprietary Information in any manner or for any purpose in connection with its Covered Business operations.

        8.12    Proprietary Information, Confidential Records; Intellectual Property Rights.

        (a)    Proprietary Information.    The Seller acknowledges that it and its Affiliates, including Parent and certain of their respective officers, directors and employees have had access to, and use of, Proprietary Information and Confidential Records (as each such term is defined below). The Seller covenants that subsequent to the Closing Date, without written authorization from the Buyer, it and its respective Affiliates shall not at any time hereafter, directly or indirectly, use for its or their own purpose or for the benefit of any Person other than the Buyer, any Proprietary Information, or disclose any Proprietary Information to any Person. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Proprietary Information" shall mean all Intellectual Property Rights, as well as all information, that pertains to, is necessary for the operation of, or is used in or by the Business, including: (i) the names and addresses of customers and vendors and information concerning transactions or relations therewith; (ii) information concerning any product, technology or procedure not generally known to its customers, vendors or competitors, or under development by or being tested but not at the time offered generally to its customers or vendors; (iii) information relating to Information Technology, computer software and systems other than off-the-shelf software and systems furnished by third party vendors; (iv) business plans, budgets, advertising and marketing plans, pricing and marketing methods, sales margins, cost of goods, cost of material, capital structure, operating results, and borrowing arrangements; (v) information belonging to customers and vendors and any other Person which by agreement is held in confidence; (vi) other information which is generally regarded as confidential or proprietary; and (vii) all written, graphic and other material relating to any of the foregoing. Information that is not novel or copyrighted or patented may nevertheless be Proprietary Information. The term "Proprietary Information" shall not include (A) information which is now or becomes generally

A-36

available to, or known by, the public or the industry in which the Business operates (other than by reason of a breach of this Agreement), (B) becomes available to the Seller or its Affiliates subsequent to the Closing Date on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than a party to this Agreement or the Related Documents or any Affiliate or representative of such Party) that is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with regard to such information. Nothing in this Section is intended to limit the use of any Proprietary Information which as of the Effective Time is being used by any of Seller's Affiliates in connection with their business from continuing to use such Proprietary Information in the same manner and to the same extent as they do currently in connection with their business but not in any other manner or for any other purpose. The Seller shall be responsible for the breach of this Section 8.12 (a) by any of its Affiliates and its and their officers, directors and employees who have had access to such Proprietary Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions in this Section 8.12(a) shall not prevent the use of the Proprietary Information described in Schedule 8.12(a) by Pascall for the limited purpose indicated in such Schedule.

        (b)    Confidentiality and Surrender of Records.    The Seller and its Affiliates shall not at any time, directly or indirectly, publish, make known or in any fashion disclose any Confidential Records to, or permit any inspection or copying of any Confidential Records by, any Person. For purposes hereof, "Confidential Records" means all records and similar items that relate to or are connected with the Company and its Business and contain any Proprietary Information, including all correspondence, memoranda, files, manuals, books, lists, financial records, operating or marketing records, magnetic tape, or electronic or other media or equipment of any kind which may be in the Seller's possession or under its control or accessible to it. All Confidential Records shall be and remain the sole property of the Buyer from and after the Closing Date.

        (c)    Certain Permitted Disclosures and Uses.Sections 8.12(a) and (b) shall not prevent any disclosure required by Law or Order of a Governmental Authority or as may be required in connection with the preparation or audit of Seller or its Affiliates Tax returns or financial statements provided that in connection with disclosure pursuant to Law or Order of a Governmental Authority, the Seller or its Affiliates, as the case may be, shall, prior to any such disclosure, give the Buyer prompt notice of any such requirement, and cooperate with the Buyers in obtaining a protective Order or other means of protecting the confidentiality of the Proprietary Information and Confidential Records of the Company and its Business. The Seller (or its Affiliates) shall disclose only that information or provide such documents as are legally required or compelled to be disclosed or provided if the Buyer either fails to obtain such protective Order or a comparable remedy or waive the right to do so. In producing such documents and disclosing such information, the Seller (or its Affiliates), as the case may be, shall exercise, or cause their legal representatives to exercise, reasonable best efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such disclosed information and records.

        (d)    Remedies.    It is recognized and acknowledged by the Seller that a breach or threatened breach of the covenants contained in Section 8.11 and this Section 8.12 will cause irreparable damage to the Buyer and the Company, the exact amount of which may be difficult or impossible to ascertain, and that the remedies at law for any such breach will be inadequate. Accordingly, the Seller agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any of the covenants contained in Section 8.11 or this Section 8.12, in addition to any other remedy which may be available at law or in equity, including damages, the Buyer will be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief, without the requirement of posting a bond or a deposit in connection therewith.

        8.13    ISRA Compliance.

        (a)   Prior to the Closing, the Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense, undertake to achieve compliance with ISRA with regard to the New Jersey Leased Real Property as described in

A-37

        (b)   In furtherance of, and consistent with, the foregoing, on and after the Closing, the Seller shall, on a timely basis, make all filings and take all actions required to achieve compliance with ISRA Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense and as may be required to comply with its obligation to achieve compliance with ISRA, pay all ISRA Compliance Costs and prepare, perform, and/or submit, as the case may be, all required preliminary assessments, site investigations, work plans and reports and undertake and complete all Remedial Actions, if any, pursuant to, and in compliance with, ISRA, with respect to the New Jersey Leased Real Property. The Seller shall perform all of the foregoing in a manner consistent with the Lease for the New Jersey Leased Real Property and this Section 8.13(b).

        8.14    Assignment of Non-Disclosure Agreements and Non-Competition Agreements.     The Seller shall assign or cause or arrange for the assignment to Buyer at the Closing of (i) any confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements involving or pertaining to the Proprietary Information that it or any of its Affiliates, including Parent, entered into with a putative purchaser of CCI or the Company or the Business or Assets provided that such confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements may be assigned without the prior consent of such putative purchaser and (ii) the Non-Competition Agreements, provided that such Non-Competition Agreements may be assigned without consideration.

        8.15    Payment of Employee Retention Bonuses.     The Seller shall pay or cause to be paid, all of the Employee Retention Bonuses pursuant to the Employee Retention Bonus Agreements as set forth on Schedule 6.11, and shall obtain from each of the recipients of such Employee Retention Bonuses, a release in favor of the Company with regard to the Company's obligations under the pertinent Employee Retention Bonus Agreement.

        8.16    Assignment of Indemnification Rights.     At the request of the Buyer, upon, and in connection with, the assertion by the Buyer Indemnified Parties of a claim against Seller for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(viii) of this Agreement, the Seller shall assign to Buyer (or allow Buyer to enforce the same on its own behalf in the name of Seller) all of its rights to seek indemnification correspondingly therefor, from and against the "Majority Owners" and the "Sellers", as the case may be, under and pursuant to Sections 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, of the May 23, 2008 Agreement.

        8.17    Guarantee of Parent.     Parent guarantees the performance and payment of the Seller's obligation to indemnify, defend and hold the Buyer Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any Losses relating to, or arising out of, the matters described in Section 9.2(a), subject to the Basket Amount and Cap Amount as provided therein.

        (d)   Any claims for indemnification for Taxes shall be governed by Section 8.7, to the extent indicated therein; provided, however, any claim by the Buyer Indemnified Parties in respect of breaches by the Seller of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.16 (which shall not be in duplication of any indemnification under Section 8.7), shall be governed exclusively by the provisions of this Article IX.

        (e)   Any indemnification claims for Pre-Closing Export Control Laws Liabilities must be asserted, if at all, not later than the third anniversary of the Closing Date.

        (f)    Each Party shall be entitled to rely upon the representations and warranties of the other Party or Parties set forth herein regardless of any investigation or audit conducted before or after the Closing Date or the decision of any Party to complete the Closing.

        9.3    Method of Asserting Claims, etc.

        (a)   All claims for indemnification by any Party seeking indemnification (an "Indemnified Party") against the Buyer or the Seller, as applicable (the "Indemnifying Party"), hereunder shall be asserted and resolved as set forth in this Section 9.3.

        (b)   In order for any Indemnified Party to make a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2, such Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim or demand and the amount or the estimated amount thereof (the "Claimed Amount") to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim and demand) (the "Claim Notice"). The Claim Notice additionally shall set forth a reasonable description of the representation, warranty, or covenant with respect to which the claim is made and the facts giving rise to an alleged basis for the claim.

        (c)   In the case of any claim or demand for indemnification based upon the assertion of a claim or the institution of an action by a third party against the Indemnified Party ("Third Party Claims"), the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party promptly upon receipt of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, the failure to notify the Indemnifying Party promptly shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. In connection with all Third Party Claims, the Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days from the personal delivery or mailing of the Claim Notice (the "Notice Period") to notify the Indemnified Party whether or not it desires to assume the defense of the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume control of any defense, if the claim which the Indemnifying Party seeks to assume control (i) seeks non-monetary relief, (ii) involves criminal or quasi-criminal allegations or (iii) may, in the reasonable belief of the Indemnified Party, be detrimental to or injure the Indemnified Party's relationship with any material customer. The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of such claim or demand unless it shall have first entered into an agreement with the Indemnified Party (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party) pursuant to which the Indemnifying Party agrees to be fully responsible (with no reservation of rights) for all Losses relating to such claims and that it will provide full indemnification (whether or not otherwise required hereunder) to the Indemnified Party for all Losses relating to such claim, with such Losses not being subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX. In the event an Indemnifying Party assumes control of the defense of such claim, all costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in defending such claim or demand shall be a liability of, and shall be paid by, the Indemnifying Party. If any Indemnified Party desires to participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement pursuant to which an Indemnifying Party has assumed control in accordance with this Section 9.3, it may do so

A-40

at its sole cost and expense. During the Notice Period, the Indemnified Party shall not settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any such claim or demand involving monetary damages without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any claim or demand; provided, however, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle or compromise a claim or demand without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party if such claim or demand is not subject to the limitations contained in Sections 9.2 or 9.3, involves only the payment of money and provides an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense of the Indemnified Party against a claim or demand for which the Indemnifying Party has an indemnification obligation hereunder, whether by not giving the Indemnified Party timely notice as provided above or otherwise, then, in addition tothe amount of any such claim or demand, the Indemnified Party shall recover from the Indemnifying Party the reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys fees, in connection with such defense, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX. To the extent the Indemnifying Party shall control the defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will give the Indemnifying Party and its counsel reasonable access to, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, the relevant business records and other documents relating to the defense of such claim, and shall permit them to consult with the employees and counsel of the Indemnified Party to the extent the same does not unduly interfere with the conduct of the Indemnified Party's business. The Indemnifying Party shall use its best efforts in the defense of all such claims. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, from and after the time when the aggregate amount of claims paid or potentially payable by an Indemnifying Party under this Agreement, which are subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 9.2 or 9.3, exceeds or could potentially exceed such limitation based upon claims paid and pending in accordance with this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to jointly control the defense and settlement of any pending indemnification claims the liability for which could potentially result in the aggregate claims exceeding such limitation. Any such time as the aggregate amount of claims subject to such limitation which have been paid or settled (subject to being paid) exceeds such limitation, the Indemnifying Party shall no longer have the right to participate in the control or defense of such claims.

        9.4    Losses Net of Insurance, Third Party Recoveries.     The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under Section 9.2 shall be net of any insurance proceeds or third party recoveries, less the reasonable costs of collection thereof, to the extent actually received by the Indemnified Party.

        9.5    No Consequential Damages.     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Indemnifying Party shall be liable or otherwise responsible to any Indemnified Party for consequential, incidental, unforeseen or punitive damages or for diminution in value or loss of profit that arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the performance or breach thereof or any liability retained or assumed hereunder other than such damages paid to an unaffiliated third party claimant.

        (b)   The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to act in accordance with any Order made and entered by any Governmental Authority which determines those of the Buyer's claims that have been disputed by the Seller, and to authorize the making or withholding of the Escrow Account in accordance therewith.

The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum and to distribute or deliver the Escrow Account in accordance with the terms thereof.

        10.3    Outstanding Claims.     Once asserted, a claim shall be deemed to be an "Outstanding Claim" until finally resolved in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

        10.4    Distributions Out of the Escrow Account.

        Upon the later occurrence of (i) September 30, 2011 or (ii) the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Buyer and the Seller shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay to the Seller that amount of the remaining portion of the Escrow Account in excess of such amount as may be reasonably required to satisfy all of the Seller's liability with respect to any Outstanding Claims. As soon as all Outstanding Claims have been resolved, the Buyer and the Seller shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay to the Seller the remaining portion of the Escrow Account not required to satisfy the Seller's liability under Article IX.

ANNEX B

June 6, 2010

Board of Directors
EMRISE Corporation
611 Industrial Way
Eatontown, NJ 07724

Members of the Board of Directors:

        You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to EMRISE Corporation ("EMRISE") of the proposed sale of all of the issued and outstanding shares of its subsidiaries Custom Components, Inc. ("CCI") and Advanced Control Components, Inc. ("ACC"). CCI owns, beneficially and of record, 80% of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock (the "Shares") of ACC, and Emrise Electronics Corporation (the "Seller") owns, beneficially and of record, 20% of the Shares of ACC. The terms of the proposed sale (the "Proposed Sale") by and between Aeroflex Incorporated ("Aeroflex") and the Seller are set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Sale Agreement"), dated as of June 7, 2010, which provides that Aeroflex will purchase all of the outstanding shares of CCI and ACC for a purchase price of $20,000,000 (the "Aggregate Consideration").

        Boenning & Scattergood, Inc., as part of its investment banking business, regularly is engaged in the valuation of assets, securities and companies in connection with various types of asset and securities transactions, including mergers, acquisitions, private placements, public offerings and valuations for various other purposes, and in the determination of adequate consideration in such transactions. In the ordinary course of our business as a broker-dealer, we may, from time to time, purchase securities from, and sell securities to, EMRISE, Aeroflex and their respective affiliates. In the ordinary course of our business, we may also actively trade the securities of EMRISE and Aeroflex for our own account and for the accounts of customers and accordingly may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities.

        We have been engaged by EMRISE to act as financial advisor to EMRISE in connection with the Proposed Sale and will receive a fee for our services, a portion of which is payable upon delivery of this opinion and a significant portion of which is payable contingent upon consummation of the Proposed Sale. No portion of our fee is refundable or contingent upon the conclusion expressed in this opinion. We also will be reimbursed for expenses incurred. In addition, EMRISE has agreed to indemnify us against certain liabilities arising out of our engagement. Other than this engagement, during the past two years preceding the date of this opinion, we have not had any material relationship with any party to the Proposed Sale, other than EMRISE, for which compensation has been received or is intended to be received, nor is there any such material relationship or related compensation mutually understood to be contemplated. In arriving at our opinion, we have made such reviews, analyses and inquiries as we have deemed necessary or appropriate under the circumstances. We took into account our assessment of general economic, market and financial conditions, as well as our experience in securities and business valuation in general and with respect to similar transactions in particular our due diligence with regard to the Proposed Sale included:

•

reviewing a draft of the Sale Agreement dated June 7, 2010, including without limitation the terms and conditions of the Proposed Sale;

•

reviewing certain internal financial analyses, historical and budgeted financials, financial forecasts, reports, operating performance and other information we deemed relevant concerning ACC and CCI, all of which was provided to us by or on behalf of the management of EMRISE;

B-1

•

holding discussions with certain members of the management of EMRISE, CCI and ACC concerning the historical and current business operations, financial condition and prospects of EMRISE, CCI and ACC and such other matters we deemed relevant;

•

analyzing certain financial, market and industry data, stock market and other publicly available information relating to the businesses of other companies whose operations we considered relevant in evaluating those of CCI and ACC and considering, to the extent publicly available, the financial terms of certain other transactions which we deemed relevant in evaluating the Proposed Sale; and

•

conducting such other financial analyses, studies and investigations as we deemed appropriate.

        Our opinion is given in reliance on information and representations made or given by or on behalf of EMRISE, CCI and ACC, as well as their respective officers, directors, auditors, counsel and other agents and representatives, and on filings, releases and other information issued by or on behalf of EMRISE including financial statements, financial projections, and stock price data, as well as certain information from recognized independent sources. We have not independently verified any of the information concerning EMRISE, CCI and ACC which we have considered in our review and, for purposes of the opinion set forth below, we have assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all such information and data provided to us. We express no opinion as to any financial projections or the assumptions on which they are based. We have not conducted any independent valuation or appraisal or physical inspection of any assets or liabilities of EMRISE, CCI or ACC or their solvency, nor have any valuations or appraisals been provided to us. We did not estimate, and express no opinion regarding, the liquidation value of any entity or business. This opinion should not be construed as a valuation opinion, credit rating, solvency opinion, or liquidation analysis of the creditworthiness of any of EMRISE, CCI or ACC, or otherwise as tax advice or accounting advice. We have assumed that the Proposed Sale is, in all respects, lawful under applicable law.

        With regard to financial and all other information provided to us relating to EMRISE, CCI and ACC (including, without limitation, estimates, evaluations, projections and information related to general prospects), we have assumed, with EMRISE's consent, that such information has been reasonably prepared and reflect the best currently available information and good faith judgment of the persons furnishing the same. We have further relied on the assurances of management of EMRISE, CCI and ACC that such persons are not aware of such information being inaccurate or misleading in any respect, or of any facts or circumstances that would make any of such information inaccurate or misleading in any respect. We have not been asked to and have not undertaken an independent verification of any of such information and we do not assume any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or completeness thereof. We have assumed that: (i) the final versions of all documents reviewed by us in draft form (including, without limitation, the Sale Agreement) conform in all material respects to the drafts reviewed; (ii) all governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary or advisable for the consummation of the Proposed Sale will be obtained without any adverse effect on EMRISE, ACC, CCI or on the Proposed Sale; (iii) all of the representations and warranties contained in the Sale Agreement and all related agreements are complete and correct in all respects and that each party to the Sale Agreement and all related agreements will perform all of the covenants required to be performed by such party thereunder; (iv) the conditions precedent set forth in the Sale Agreement and all related agreements to the Proposed Sale will be satisfied and such conditions precedent will not be waived; and (v) the Proposed Sale will be completed in accordance with the terms of the Sale Agreement, without any amendments thereto or any waivers of any terms and conditions thereof. Additionally, we assumed without verification the accuracy and adequacy of the legal advice given by counsel to EMRISE, ACC and CCI on all legal matters related to the Proposed Sale and have assumed that all procedures required by applicable law to be taken in connection with the Proposed Sale have been, or will be, duly, validly and timely taken and that the Proposed Sale will be consummated in a manner that complies in all respects with the all applicable laws, statutes and

B-2

regulations. We have not made, and assume no responsibility to make, any representation, or render any opinion, as to any legal matter. EMRISE, CCI and ACC have expressly consented to all of the assumptions we have made in this opinion.

        In our analysis and in connection with the preparation of this opinion, we have made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, market and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of any party involved in the Proposed Sale, and our opinion is based on such assumptions.

        Our opinion is based on economic, monetary, regulatory, market and other conditions existing and which can be evaluated as of, and have been evaluated only as of, the date hereof. We expressly disclaim any undertaking or obligation to update this opinion or to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting our opinion of which we become aware after the date hereof.

        Our opinion is for the information of EMRISE's Board of Directors in connection with its evaluation of the Proposed Sale, and does not constitute a recommendation to the Board of Directors in connection with the Proposed Sale. Our opinion should not be construed as creating any fiduciary duty on our part to any party. In addition, we express no opinion or recommendation as to how the stockholders of EMRISE should vote on the Proposed Sale. Further, we have not been requested to opine as to, and the opinion does not in any manner address, the underlying business decision of EMRISE or any other party to engage in the Proposed Sale, nor does it address the relative merits of the Proposed Sale as compared to any alternative business transaction or strategy. Instead, the opinion merely states whether the consideration in the Proposed Sale is within a range suggested by certain financial analyses. The decision as to whether to proceed with the Proposed Sale or any related transaction may depend on an assessment of factors unrelated to the financial analysis on which this opinion is based. In addition, we are not expressing any opinion as to the market price or value of the capital securities of any party to the Proposed Sale after announcement of the Proposed Sale.

        This opinion only addresses the fairness to EMRISE, from a financial point of view, of the Aggregate Consideration and does not address any other aspect or implication of the Proposed Sale or any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into in connection therewith or otherwise including, without limitation: (i) the underlying business decision of EMRISE or any other party to proceed with the Proposed Sale; (ii) the terms of any arrangements, understandings, agreements or documents related to, or the form or any other portion or aspect of, the Proposed Sale or otherwise (other than the Aggregate Consideration to the extent expressly specified herein) and whether such terms were the best attainable under the circumstances; (iii) the fairness of any portion or aspect of the Proposed Sale to the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of EMRISE, or to any other party; (iv) the relative merits of the Proposed Sale as compared to any alternative business strategies that might exist for EMRISE, CCI and/or ACC or the effect of any other transaction in which EMRISE, CCI and/or ACC might engage; (v) the solvency, creditworthiness or fair value of EMRISE, CCI and/or ACC or any other party to the Proposed Sale, or any of such their respective assets, under any applicable laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or similar matters; or (vii) the fairness, financial or otherwise, of the amount, nature or any other aspect of any consideration received by EMRISE's, CCI's and/or ACC's officers, directors or employees or any class of such persons relative to the consideration to be received by the shareholders of ACC and CCI in the Proposed Sale, if any, or with respect to the fairness of such compensation. Furthermore, no opinion, counsel or interpretation is intended in matters that require legal, regulatory, accounting, insurance, tax or other similar professional advice. It is assumed that such opinions, counsel or interpretations have been or will be obtained from the appropriate professional sources. Furthermore, we have relied, with your consent, on the assessments by EMRISE and its advisors, as to all legal, regulatory, accounting, insurance and tax matters with respect to EMRISE and Proposed Sale. The issuance of this opinion was approved by a committee authorized to approve opinions of this nature.

B-3

        Our opinion is not to be quoted or referred to, in whole or in part, in a registration statement, prospectus, proxy statement or in any other document, nor shall this opinion be used for any other purpose, without our prior written consent, except that this opinion may be included in its entirety in any filing made by EMRISE in respect to the Proposed Sale with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

        Our opinion has been approved by our fairness opinion committee. Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Aggregate Consideration offered pursuant to the Sale Agreement, is fair, from a financial point of view, to EMRISE.

Sincerely,

/s/ BOENNING & SCATTERGOOD, INC.

Item 8.01    Other Events

        On June 7, 2010, EMRISE Electronics Corporation ("EEC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of EMRISE Corporation (the "Company"), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement by and among Aeroflex Incorporated ("Aeroflex"), as buyer, and EEC, as seller, relating to the sale of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Advanced Control Components, Inc. ("ACC") and all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Custom Components, Inc. ("CCI") (the "ACC Operations"). In accordance with guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") related to the accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, the ACC Operations have been classified as discontinued operations in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2010 that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on May 17, 2010. The Company is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to update the historical consolidated financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 (the "2009 Form 10-K") for discontinued operations in accordance with financial reporting guidance issued by the SEC.

        Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K includes the historical financial information initially presented under Item 7—Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in the 2009 Form 10-K revised and updated from its previous presentation solely to reflect the reclassifications for discontinued operations described above for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

        The information in Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K does not reflect events or developments that occurred after April 15, 2010, and does not modify or update the disclosures in the 2009 Form 10-K in any way, other than to reflect the ACC Operations as a discontinued operation as described above. The information in Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with the 2009 Form 10-K and any documents filed by EMRISE Corporation under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, subsequent to April 15, 2010.

Exhibit 99.1

EMRISE CORPORATION

Item 8—Financial Statements

        On June 7, 2010, EEC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement by and among Aeroflex, as buyer, and EEC, as seller, relating to the sale of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of ACC and all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of CCI. In accordance with guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board related to the accounting for the impairment and disposal of long-lived assets, the ACC Operations have been classified as discontinued operations in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2010 that was filed with the SEC on May 17, 2010. Because the ACC Operations have not previously been presented as a discontinued operation in the Company's Item 8 Financial Statements included with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, the accompanying revised Item 8 Financial Statements reflect adjustments to present the ACC Operations as a discontinued operation.

        The accompanying restated consolidated financial information includes all material adjustments necessary to reflect the ACC Operations as a discontinued operation and have been presented for illustrative purposes only. They are not necessarily indicative of the future financial position or future results of operations of the Company or of the financial position or results of operations of the Company that would have actually occurred had the transaction been in effect as of the date or for the periods presented.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Stockholders
EMRISE Corporation
Eatontown, New Jersey

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of EMRISE Corporation (the "Company") as of December 31, 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

        We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of EMRISE Corporation at December 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

        As discussed in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted an update issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board related to the accounting for instruments (or embedded features) indexed to an entity's own stock.

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company requires additional funding to achieve profitable operations and repay its current debt obligations beyond its anticipated cash flows from operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Business

        EMRISE Corporation (the "Company") designs, manufactures and markets proprietary electronic devices and communications equipment for aerospace, defense, industrial, and communications applications. The Company has operations in the United States ("U.S."), England and France. The Company conducts its business through two operating segments: electronic devices and communications equipment. The subsidiaries within the electronic devices segment design, develop, manufacture and market electronic devices for defense, aerospace and industrial markets and operate out of facilities located in the U.S. and England. The subsidiaries within the communications equipment segment design, develop, manufacture and market network access equipment, including network timing and synchronization products and operate out of facilities located in the U.S. and France.

Basis of Presentation

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and include the accounts of the Company and each of its subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. Certain prior years' amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

        In March of 2009, the Company sold substantially all the assets related to the Digitran division of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, EMRISE Electronics Corporation's ("EEC"), and all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of EEC's wholly-owned subsidiary, XCEL Japan, Ltd. (collectively the "Digitran Operations"). The accompanying financial statements include the Digitran Operations as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.

        On March 22, 2010, EMRISE completed the sale of substantially all the assets of EEC's subsidiary, RO Associates to Massachusetts based Astrodyne Corporation. See Note 22. In this Report, we refer to the businesses of RO Associates as the "RO Operations," and we refer to the sale of the RO Associates assets as the "RO Transaction." Our RO Associates subsidiary, located in San Jose, California, manufactured, marketed and sold standard power supplies to the defense and industrial markets. The RO Associates operation was classified within our electronic devices business segment. The accompanying financial statements include the RO Operations as discontinued operations and assets held for sale for all periods presented.

        On June 7, 2010, Aeroflex Incorporated ("Buyer") and EMRISE Electronics Corporation ("Seller") entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") relating to the sale of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of ACC and all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of CCI. The accompanying financial statements include the ACC Operations as discontinued operations and assets held for sale for all periods presented.

Use of Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include cash in banks, commercial paper and deposits with financial institutions that can be liquidated without prior notice or penalty. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Trade Accounts Receivable

        Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company's best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company's existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience, customer payment history, and current economic data. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of their fair value because of the short maturity of these items. The Company believes the carrying amounts of its notes payable and long-term debt approximate fair value because the interest rates on these instruments are subject to change with, or approximate, market interest rates.

Inventories

        The Company's finished goods electronic devices inventories generally are built to order. The Company's communications equipment inventories generally are built to forecast, which requires production of a larger amount of finished goods in the communications equipment business so that customers can be served promptly. The Company's products consist of numerous electronic parts and other materials, which necessitates the exercise of detailed inventory management. The Company values its inventory at the lower of the actual cost to purchase or manufacture the inventory (first-in, first-out) or the current estimated market value of the inventory (net realizable value). The Company performs cycle counts of inventories using an ABC inventory methodology, which groups inventory into cycle counting categories, or conducts physical inventories at least once a year. The Company regularly reviews inventory quantities on hand and records a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on its estimated forecast of product demand and production requirements for the next 12 to 24 months. Additionally, to determine inventory write-down provisions, the Company reviews product line inventory levels and individual items as necessary and periodically reviews assumptions about forecasted demand and market conditions. Any inventory that the Company determines to be obsolete, either in connection with the physical count or at other times of observation, are reserved for and subsequently written-off. As of December 31, 2009, total inventory reserves amounted to $4 million of which $2.4 million, or 20% of total inventory, related to the electronic devices segment and $1.6 million, or 14% of total inventory, related to the communications equipment segment. As of December 31, 2008, total inventory reserves amounted to $3.6 million of which $2 million, or 16% of

C-16

EMRISE CORPORATION

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

total inventory, related to the electronic devices segment and $1.6 million, or 13% of total inventory, related to the communications equipment segment.

        The electronics devices and communications equipment industries are characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product development, and rapid product obsolescence that could result in an increase in the amount of obsolete inventory quantities on hand. Also, estimates of future product demand may prove to be inaccurate, in which case the Company may have understated or overstated the provision required for excess and obsolete inventory. Although the Company makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of its forecasts of future product demand, any significant unanticipated changes in demand or technological developments could have a significant impact on the value of the Company's inventory and its reported operating results.

Property, Plant and Equipment

        Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed principally using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets (or lease term, if shorter) as follows:

Buildings	50 years
Machinery, equipment and fixtures	3 - 7 years
Leasehold improvements	5 years

        Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, while renewals and betterments are capitalized. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Debt Issuance Costs

        Deferred financing costs, which are included in other assets, are costs incurred to obtain debt financing, including all related fees, and are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are amortized as interest expense over the term of the related financing using the straight-line method which approximates the interest rate method. Total deferred financing costs amortized to interest expense were $0.8 million and $0.5 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Long-Lived Assets

        The Company reviews the carrying amount of its long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

        As a result of the current expectation that RO would be sold before the end of the estimated useful lives of its long-lived assets, the Company performed an assessment of recoverability associated with the long-lived assets of RO. In connection with that assessment, an impairment loss of $0.6 million was recognized in 2009, which is included in the Company's statement of operations within income from discontinued and held for sale operations.

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

        Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") guidance for goodwill and other intangible assets disallows the amortization of goodwill and provides for impairment testing of goodwill carrying values on an annual basis or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company's reporting units have been identified as electronic devices and communications equipment. The Company performed its annual required tests of impairment as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 for goodwill in the electronic devices and the communications equipment reporting units. As a result of this annual test, in 2008 the Company incurred a loss on the impairment of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets of $6.6 million within the Company's communications equipment segment. As a result, the 2008 impairment charge reflects the write down of substantially all of the carrying value of the goodwill and other intangible assets for the communications equipment segment. In performing the valuation in 2009, we used cash flows that reflected management's forecasts and discount rates that reflect the risks associated with the current market. We consider the results of an income approach and a market approach in determining the fair value of the reporting units. For the income approach we assumed growth of 4.0% as a result of expected shipments on existing contracts and future opportunities. We discounted the projected cash flows at 14% to determine the fair value for the electronic devices reporting unit. For the market approach, we used the guideline public company method, under which the fair value of a business is estimated by comparing the subject company to similar companies with publicly traded ownership interests. From these "guideline" companies, valuation multiples are derived and then applied to the appropriate operating statistics of the subject company to arrive at indications of value.

        At December 31, 2009, our reported goodwill totaled $2.9 million, all of which belonged to the electronic devices reporting unit. Based on the results of our testing, the fair values of the electronic devices reporting unit exceeded its book values. However, as a result of the sale of our RO Operations, we recorded a non-cash charge for the impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles of $0.9 million. The write down is reflected within income from discontinued and held for sale operations in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

        Intangible assets with identifiable useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their useful lives. Definite-lived intangible assets are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization, and are amortized on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives ranging from two to twenty years. The Company periodically reviews the original estimated useful lives of long-lived assets and makes adjustments when appropriate. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset's carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates its intangible assets for impairment by comparing the future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying assets to their respective carrying amounts. As a result of the current expectation that RO would be sold before the end of the estimated useful lives of its intangible assets with identifiable useful lives, the Company performed an assessment of recoverability associated with the intangible assets of RO. In connection with that assessment, an impairment loss of $0.5 million was recognized in 2009, which is included in the Company's consolidated statement of operations within income from discontinued and held for sale operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Product Warranty Liabilities

        Generally, the Company's products carry a standard one-year, limited parts and labor warranty. In certain circumstances, the Company provides a two-year limited parts and labor warranty on communications test instruments and network access products. The Company offers extended warranties beyond two years for an additional cost to its customers. Products returned under warranty typically are tested and repaired or replaced at the Company's option. Historically, the Company has not experienced significant warranty costs or returns.

        The Company records a liability for estimated costs that it expects to incur under the basic limited warranties when product revenue is recognized. Factors affecting the warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of claim and costs per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its warranty liability accrual based on changes in these factors.

Reverse Stock Split

        On November 19, 2008, the Company completed a board of directors approved 1-for-3.75 reverse split of its common stock. All common stock, stock options and warrants to purchase common stock and earnings per share amounts have been retroactively restated as if the reverse stock split occurred at the beginning of the periods presented.

Stock-Based Compensation

        The Company estimates the fair value of its stock option plans using the Black-Scholes option pricing model (the "Option Model"). The Option Model requires the use of subjective and complex assumptions, including the option's expected term and the estimated future price volatility of the underlying stock, which determine the fair value of the stock-based awards. In accordance with FASB guidance on fair value, stock-based compensation expense recognized during a period is based on the value of the portion of the stock-based awards that are expected to vest with employees. Accordingly, the recognition of stock-based compensation expense has been reduced for estimated future forfeitures. FASB guidance requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant with adjustments recorded in subsequent period compensation expense if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

        The following weighted average assumptions were used for stock options granted during the year ended December 31:

	2009			2008
Dividend yield		None			None
Expected volatility		89	%		63	%
Risk-free interest rate		0.89	%		2.53	%
Expected term		7 years			6 years
Weighted average fair value per share at grant date	$	1.10		$	1.25

Loss Per Share

        Loss per share is calculated according to FASB guidance which requires that basic loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the

C-19

EMRISE CORPORATION

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the Company.

Foreign Currency Translation

        The accounts of foreign subsidiaries have been translated using the local currency as the functional currency. Accordingly, foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities have been translated to U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange on the balance sheet date and at the average for the period reported for the statement of operations. The effects of translation are recorded either within our statement of operations under the caption "other income (expense)" or as a separate part of our net equity under the caption "accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)." Exchange gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates applicable on the dates of the transactions and are included in operations.

Concentration of Credit Risk

        Financial instruments, which potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with high quality financial institutions. At times, cash balances may be in excess of the amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

        The Company's accounts receivable result from sales to a broad customer base. The Company extends credit to its customers based upon an evaluation of the customer's financial condition and credit history and generally does not require collateral. Accounts receivable are generally due within 30 days in the Company's U.S., England and France operations and are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding for longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. Provisions for uncollectible accounts are made based on the Company's specific assessment of the collectibility of all past due accounts. Credit losses are provided for in the financial statements and consistently have been within management's expectations. One customer represented 10% of the Company's total net sales during 2009. No customer represented 10% or more of the Company's total net sales during 2008.

Revenue Recognition

        The Company derives revenues from sales of electronic devices and communications equipment products and services. The Company's sales are based upon written agreements or purchase orders that identify the type and quantity of the item and/or services being purchased and the purchase price. The Company recognizes revenues when shipment of products has occurred or services have been rendered, no significant obligations remain on the part of the Company, and collectability is reasonably assured based on the Company's credit and collections practices and policies.

        The Company recognizes revenues from sales of its U.S. communications equipment business units at the point of shipment of those products. An estimate of warranty cost is recorded at the time the revenue is recognized. Product returns are infrequent and require prior authorization because sales are final and the Company quality tests its products prior to shipment to ensure products meet the specifications of the binding purchase orders under which those products are shipped. Normally, when a customer requests and receives authorization to return a product, the request is accompanied by a purchase order for a repair or for a replacement product.

C-20

EMRISE CORPORATION

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

        Revenue recognition for products and services provided by the Company's subsidiaries in England and its U.S. subsidiary, ACC, depends upon the type of contract involved. Engineering/design services contracts generally entail design and production of a prototype over a term of up to several years, with revenue deferred until each milestone defined in the contract is reached. Production contracts provide for a specific quantity of products to be produced over a specific period of time. Customers issue binding purchase orders or enter into binding agreements for the products to be produced. The Company recognizes revenues on these orders as the products are shipped. Returns are infrequent and permitted only with prior authorization because these products are custom made to order based on binding purchase orders and are quality tested prior to shipment. An estimate of warranty cost is recorded at the time revenue is recognized.

        The Company recognizes revenues for products sold by its subsidiary in France at the point of shipment. Customer discounts are included in the product price list provided to the customer. Returns are infrequent and permitted only with prior authorization because these products are shipped based on binding purchase orders and are quality tested prior to shipment. An estimate of warranty cost is recorded at the time revenue is recognized.

        Revenues from services such as repairs and modifications are recognized when the service is completed and invoiced. For repairs that involve shipment of a repaired product, the Company recognizes repair revenues when the product is shipped back to the customer. Service revenues contribute less than 5% of total revenue and, therefore, are considered to be immaterial to overall financial results.

Shipping and Handling Costs

        Shipping and handling costs recorded in cost of goods sold were $364,000 and $118,000 in 2009 and 2008, respectively. Shipping and handling costs recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses were $13,000 and $15,000 in 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Advertising Costs

        Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred. Advertising costs for 2009 and 2008 were immaterial.

Income Taxes

        Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at the applicable tax rates. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets by assessing its valuation allowance and by adjusting the amount of such allowance, if necessary. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are the Company's forecast of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets. Failure to achieve forecasted taxable income in applicable tax jurisdictions could affect the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets and could result in an increase in the Company's effective tax rate on future earnings. The provision for income taxes represents the tax payable for the year and the change

C-21

EMRISE CORPORATION

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

during the year in deferred tax assets and liabilities. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had recorded no net unrecognized tax benefits associated with uncertain income tax positions.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

        Comprehensive income (loss) includes all changes in equity during a period except those that resulted from investments by or distributions to the Company's stockholders. Other comprehensive income refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that, under GAAP, are included in comprehensive income, but excluded from net income (loss) as these amounts are recorded directly as an adjustment to stockholders' equity. The Company's other comprehensive income consists of foreign currency translation adjustments. The following table reflects the components of comprehensive income (loss),in thousands:

		Year Ended December 31,
		2009		2008
Net income (loss)		$	1,042	$	(7,440	)
Other comprehensive income (loss):
	Foreign currency translation adjustment		1,195		(3,881	)
Comprehensive income (loss)		$	2,237	$	(11,321	)

NOTE 2—GOING CONCERN

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which contemplate the continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company reported net income for the year ended December 31, 2009 of $1.0 million. Included in net income was $7.5 million in income/gain (net of taxes of $0.8 million) from discontinued operations related to the disposition of the Company's Digitran and RO Operations and the anticipated disposition of ACC (see Note 4). Absent this income/gain, the Company would have incurred a $6.5 million net loss for the year ended December 31, 2009. Primarily as a result of the reclassification of the majority of its debt from long to short term during 2009, the Company also reported negative working capital from continuing operations of $3.5 million at December 31, 2009 and positive working capital from continuing operations of $0.7 million at December 31, 2008. The Company's current business plan for the next 12 months requires additional funding beyond its anticipated cash flows from operations. These and other factors described in more detail below raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

        The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to (i) achieve the milestones related to sale of a significant portion of its assets as required by the Credit Agreement between now and June 30, 2010, (ii) repay the credit facility in full on or prior to its maturity on June 30, 2010, (iii) obtain alternate financing to fund operations after June 30, 2010 and (iv) achieve profitable operations.

C-22

EMRISE CORPORATION

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 2—GOING CONCERN (Continued)

        If the Company's net losses continue, it may experience negative cash flow, which may prevent the Company from continuing operations. If the Company is not able to attain, sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis, it may not be able to continue operations.

        Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, the lender may also elect to increase the interest rate applicable to the outstanding balance of the Term Loans A and B by four percentage points above the per annum interest rate that would otherwise be applicable. Additionally, if the lender terminates the credit facility during a default period then the Company is subject to a penalty equal to 2% of the outstanding principal balance of the Revolver and the Term Loans.

        If the Company (i) defaults under the Credit Facility for any reason, including missing a milestone, (ii) is unable to timely sell assets at sufficient prices, (iii) cannot borrow funds under the terms of the Revolver, for any reason, through June 30, 2010, or (iv) fails to obtain alternate financing to replace its credit facility prior to June 30, 2010 or a new revolving facility once the current credit facility is paid in full, the Company does not believe that current and future capital resources, revenues generated from operations and other existing sources of liquidity will be adequate to meet its anticipated short term, working capital and capital expenditures needs for the next 12 months. Further, if any of these occur for any reason, or if the Company experiences a significant loss of revenue or increase in costs, then its cash flow would be negatively impacted resulting in a cash flow deficit. A cash flow deficit will require the Company to seek additional or alternate financing, with little or no notice which would be difficult to obtain in these economic conditions and the Company's anticipated financial condition in such circumstances. To address these potential financing needs the Company may have to explore a revised debt structure with its current lender; additional or new financing with another lender or lenders; the sale of assets to generate cash; or the sale of equity to raise capital. Successfully executing these strategies is uncertain and there are many risks associated with attempting to execute each, in addition to the risks and uncertainties of the short and long term impact of executing on any of these strategies. Failure to meet the Company's financing requirements, if and when needed, would have an adverse effect on the Company's operations and/or ability to do business after that date or could restrict its growth, limit the development of new products, hinder its ability to fulfill existing or future orders or negatively affect its ability to secure new customers or product orders.

        If the Company is unsuccessful in securing the necessary financing to continue operations, when needed, then it may be forced to seek protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or be forced into liquidation or substantially restructuring or altering its business operations and/or debt obligations.

NOTE 3—ACQUISITION OF ADVANCED CONTROL COMPONENTS

        On May 23, 2008, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, EEC entered into the Purchase Agreement, as amended, pursuant to which EEC agreed to acquire CCI and its operating subsidiary, ACC.

        The closing of the Purchase Agreement occurred on August 20, 2008. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, EEC acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of CCI and all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of ACC not owned by CCI (the "Acquisition"). In addition to the purchase price, the Company is obligated to pay up to an additional $5 million if ACC meets certain operating income targets for one or both of the two 12 month periods following the closing. Additionally, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, there are provisions for a working capital adjustment to the purchase price as well as an adjustment to net cash.

NOTE 3—ACQUISITION OF ADVANCED CONTROL COMPONENTS (Continued)

        In connection with the Acquisition of ACC, EEC issued Subordinated Secured Contingent Promissory Notes (the "Notes"), as amended, to each of the Sellers. The Notes bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal plus 1%. On November 20, 2009, EEC entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Notes with each of the Sellers (collectively, the "Note Amendments") pursuant to which each of the Notes were amended to (a) add $1.3 million (the sum of the closing net cash adjustment and the first earnout payment) to the aggregate principal balance of the Notes, (b) double the original interest rate of each of the Notes (the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal plus 1%) until the aggregate principal balance of the Notes attributable to the closing net cash adjustment and the first earnout payment is repaid, at which time the interest rate shall be reduced back to the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal plus 1%, and (c) revise the payment terms such that no payments are due until July 1, 2010, at which time EEC will make principal payments in the aggregate amount of $1.3 million plus payments of interest accrued on such amount from the issuance date through the date of payment of such aggregate principal amount. The remaining balance of the notes is due in November 2010.

        The following table summarizes the components of the Notes at December 31, 2009 (in thousands):

Aggregate contingent consideration related to original Notes		$	2,000
Working capital adjustment			959
Net cash adjustment			302
Aggregate contingent consideration related to Note Amendments			1,036
	Balance of Notes at December 31, 2009	$	4,297

        In addition to the Notes, the remaining cash contingent consideration of $2.0 million was accrued at December 31, 2009 in current liabilities of discontinued and held for sale operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. This amount is also due in November 2010.

        In determining the purchase price for the Acquisition, the Company took into account the historical and expected earnings and cash flow of ACC, as well as the value of companies of a size and in an industry similar to ACC, comparable transactions and the market for such companies generally. The initial purchase price represented a premium of approximately $4.1 million over the recorded net worth of ACC's assets. As a result of the contingent consideration accrued, as discussed above, the total goodwill recorded related to the purchase of ACC was $10.2 million.

        In conjunction with the Acquisition, the Company considered whether the Acquisition included various types of identifiable intangible assets, including trade names, trademarks, patents, covenants not to compete, customers, backlog, workforce, technology and software. As a result of the procedures performed and the evaluation of management, the Company determined and recorded the value of the tangible and intangible assets in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in accordance with the purchase price allocation. The Company has estimated and recorded the identified intangible assets as follows: trade name of $1,570,000; covenant not to compete of $60,000; backlog of $570,000; and customer relationships of $2,550,000.

        Subsequent to August 20, 2008, the Company recorded contingent consideration in the amount of $6.3 million ($4.3 million recorded as a Note and $2.0 million recorded as other accrued liability), which represented an increase to goodwill. Additional purchase price adjustments reducing goodwill by $0.3 million were also recorded subsequent to the acquisition. In addition, at December 31, 2009 as a result of the sale of the RO Operations the remaining goodwill was reallocated among the remaining business units within the electronic devices reporting unit resulting in an increase to ACC goodwill of $2.6 million. Total goodwill associated with ACC at December 31, 2009 was $12.8 million and is recorded as a component of noncurrent assets of discontinued and held for sale operations in the consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 4—DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Digitran Operations

        On March 20, 2009, the Company and EEC entered into an Asset and Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Digitran Purchase Agreement") with Electro Switch Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Buyer") and ESC Worldwide, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation and subsidiary of Buyer (the "Stock Buyer"). At the closing of the Digitran Purchase Agreement on March 20, 2009, (i) the Buyer purchased from the Company and EEC substantially all the assets related to EEC's Digitran division, and (ii) the Stock Buyer purchased from EEC all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of its wholly-owned subsidiary, XCEL Japan, Ltd., for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $11,560,000 (the "Disposition"). Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Buyer is obligated to pay up to an additional $500,000 in cash to EEC if net sales for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009 related to the businesses that were sold pursuant to the Digitran Purchase Agreement exceeds $6,835,120.

        The Buyer acquired all of the intellectual property, cash, accounts receivable, inventory, customer support and relationships, software and product development, and real property lease related to the Digitran division, which, prior to its acquisition, was in the business of manufacturing a line of electromechanical switches comprised of digital and rotary switches used for routing electronic signals. The Stock Buyer acquired XCEL Japan, Ltd., which, prior to its acquisition, was engaged in the business of selling and distributing Digitran division products in the Asia Pacific market. EEC retained

all accounts payable and certain other assets and liabilities related to the Digitran division. The Company continues to operate its communications equipment segment and the power systems radio frequency ("RF") and microwave devices product lines in its electronic devices segment.

        The Digitran Purchase Agreement contains five year noncompetition and non-solicitation provisions covering the Company, EEC and each of their respective affiliates. In addition, the Company and EEC provided customary indemnification rights to the Buyer and Stock Buyer in connection with the Disposition.

        In connection with the Company's divestiture of its Digitran division, which comprised a portion of the Company's electronic devices segment, the Company incurred approximately $900,000 in cash charges that were paid at closing. At December 31, 2009, the Company estimates future cash expenditures related to the sale to be approximately $60,000 primarily for employee termination costs and transaction related employee bonuses, which were accrued within "Accrued expenses" except for income taxes, which were accrued within income taxes payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Company has recorded a net $18,000 related to purchase price adjustments owed to the Buyer in connection with the transaction.

        The Company has classified the Digitran Operations, which was a component of its electronic devices segment, as a discontinued operation in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

RO Associates

        In June, 2009, the Company engaged an investment banking firm to evaluate the feasibility of selling the capital stock or substantially all of the assets of RO and to determine possible values ascribed to RO by potential buyers in connection with a potential sale of RO. In November 2009, the Company received more than one bona fide offer to purchase substantially all of the assets of RO. Based on the receipt of these offers, the Company pursued negotiations for the sale of substantially all of the assets of RO with the intent of consummating a sale of RO during first half of 2010.

        As a result of the current expectation that substantially all of the assets of RO would be sold before the end of the estimated useful lives of RO's long-lived assets, the Company performed an assessment of recoverability associated with the long-lived assets of RO. In connection with that assessment, a total impairment loss of $1.8 million was recognized, which is comprised of $0.6 million related to long-lived assets and definite-lived intangibles, $0.9 million related to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and $0.3 million related to the decline in fair value of inventory and is included in the Company's consolidated statement of operations a within income from discontinued and held for sale operations for the year ended December 31, 2009

        The Company has classified RO, which is a component of its electronic devices segment, as discontinued operations and assets held for sale in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

Advanced Control Components

        On June 7, 2010, EEC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Purchase Agreement by and among Aeroflex, as buyer, and EEC, as seller, relating to the sale of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of ACC and all of the issued and outstanding shares of

NOTE 4—DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS (Continued)

common stock of CCI. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, EEC will sell to Aeroflex (a) all of the outstanding shares of common stock of CCI, which currently owns 80% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of ACC, and (b) the remaining 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of ACC (collectively, the "Shares"), which are currently owned by EEC (the "Transaction").

        In exchange for the Shares, Aeroflex has agreed to pay EEC an aggregate purchase price of $20,000,000 in cash (the "Purchase Price"). An amount equal to $1,000,000 will be placed in an escrow account to satisfy any indemnification claims. Approximately $14.6 million of proceeds from the transaction will be used to pay down all of the Company's revolver with its principal lender, a significant portion of its term debt with the same lender and a majority of the Company's obligations to the previous owners of ACC. The Company anticipates retaining approximately $3.9 million in long term debt payable to both its current lender and the previous owners of ACC, all of which has a maturity of at least two years or longer. The Purchase Price may also be adjusted based on the level of adjusted net working capital of ACC at the closing of the Transaction.

        The closing of the Transaction is subject to stockholder approval, compliance with the New Jersey Industrial Site Recovery Act, N.J.S.A. 13:1K-6 et seq., including, without limitation, the General Information Notice, with respect to its New Jersey Properties, obtaining the consent of the Company's senior lender and the Former Shareholders, as defined herein, (both of which have been received) and other customary closing conditions. The closing of the Transaction will satisfy the final milestone under the Credit Agreement. The Purchase Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and indemnities for both EEC and Aeroflex. The Company has agreed to guarantee EEC's indemnification obligations under the Purchase Agreement.

        The Company has classified these assets, which are a component of its electronic devices segment, as discontinued and held for sale operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

NOTE 7—DEBT ISSUANCE COSTS

        On November 30, 2007, the Company and its direct subsidiaries, EEC, CXR Larus Corporation and RO Associates Incorporated (collectively, the "Borrowers") entered into a credit facility (see Note 10 and 11). In connection with the credit facility, the Company incurred $1.4 million of debt issuance costs, which is included in Other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and is being amortized over the term of the related financing, using the straight-line method, which approximates the interest rate method. Deferred debt issuance costs amortized to interest expense were $0.8 million and $0.5 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively. The remaining debt issuance costs of $0.3 million will be amortized over the six months ending June 30, 2010, the maturity date of the credit facility.

NOTE 8—GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Electronic Devices	$	2,878	$	5,584
Communications Equipment		—		—
	$	2,878	$	5,584

        The Company performed its annual impairment test for goodwill at all of our reporting units as of December 31, 2009 and 2008. In performing the valuations, the Company used cash flows that reflected management's forecasts and discount rates that reflect the risks associated with the current market. The Company considers the results of an income approach and a market approach in determining the fair value of the reporting units. In 2009, For the income approach a growth rate of 4.0% was assumed as a result of expected shipments on existing contracts and future opportunities. The Company discounted the projected cash flows at 14% to determine the fair value for the electronic devices reporting unit. For the market approach, the guideline public company method was used, under which the fair value of a business is estimated by comparing the subject company to similar companies with publicly traded

ownership interests. From these "guideline" companies, valuation multiples are derived and then applied to the appropriate operating statistics of the subject company to arrive at indications of value. At December 31, 2009, the Company's reported goodwill totaled $2.9 million, all of which belonged to the electronics devices reporting unit. Based on the results of this testing, the fair values of the electronic devices reporting unit exceeded its book values. However, as a result of the sale of our RO Operations, we recorded a non-cash charge for the impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles of $0.9 million. This write down is reflected within income from discontinued and held for sale operations in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

        During 2009, the Company reduced its goodwill as a result of purchase price adjustments associated with its acquisition of ACC in 2008. Additionally, the Company's annual test of goodwill reflected an impairment of goodwill for its communications equipment reporting unit of $5.8 million and indefinite-lived intangible assets of $0.8 million. The Company incurred a total impairment charge of $6.6 million associated with this valuation in 2008.

        The following table reflects changes in the Company's goodwill balances for continuing operations, by segment, for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 (in thousands):

	Total intangible assets, net	$	500		$	607		$	1,107		$	501		$	742		$	1,243

        In accordance with FASB guidance for accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, the Company reevaluates the carrying value of identifiable intangible and long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. As a result of the expectation that substantially all of the assets of RO would be sold before the end of the estimated useful lives of RO's long-lived assets, the Company performed an assessment of recoverability in 2009 associated with the long-lived assets of RO. In connection with that assessment and in addition to the goodwill impairment discussed above, an impairment loss of $1.2 million was recognized, which is included in the Company's statement of operations in income from discontinued and held for sale operations for the year ended December 31, 2009, representing the write-off of $0.6 million related to long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets, $0.3 million related to indefinite lived intangible assets, and $0.3 million related to the decline in fair value of inventory. No events or changes in circumstances occurred during 2008 that would have required an impairment analysis to be performed.

        Assuming no additions, disposals or adjustments are made to the carrying values and/or useful lives of the assets, annual amortization expense on intangible assets is estimated to be approximately $115,000 in 2010 and $115,000 in 2011 through 2014. The Company's current intangible assets have a weighted average remaining useful life of approximately 10 years.

NOTE 10—LINES OF CREDIT

        The Company and certain of its subsidiaries, including EEC and CXR Larus Corporation, CCI, ACC and RO Associates Incorporated (collectively, the "Borrowers"), are parties to a Credit Agreement (as amended from time to time the "Credit Agreement") with GVEC Resource IV Inc. (the "Lender") providing for a credit facility which includes term loans and a revolving credit facility and is secured by accounts receivable, other rights to payment and general intangibles, inventories and equipment. The credit facility includes a revolving credit facility for up to $7,000,000 that expires on June 30, 2010 (the "Revolver").

        The Revolver is formula-based and generally provides that the outstanding borrowings under the line of credit may not exceed an aggregate of 85% of eligible accounts receivable, plus 10% of the value of eligible raw materials not to exceed $600,000, plus 50% of the value of eligible finished goods inventory not to exceed $1,500,000, minus the aggregate amount of reserves that may be established by the Lender.

        Interest on the Revolver is payable monthly. The interest rate is variable and is adjusted monthly based on the prime rate as published in the "Money Rates" column of The Wall Street Journal (the "Base Rate") plus 1.25%, subject to a minimum rate of 9.5% per annum. The interest rate in effect as of December 31, 2009 was the minimum rate of 9.5%. The Revolver is subject to the Borrowers not incurring capital expenditures (a) in excess of $600,000 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, and (b) in excess of $1,800,000 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010. Additionally, the Revolver is subject to the Borrowers not incurring unfinanced capital expenditures in excess of $62,500 in any fiscal quarter and the Borrowers not incurring purchase money commitments in excess of $2 million over the life of the facility. However, if the Borrowers incur unfinanced capital expenditures of less than $62,500 in any fiscal quarter, the difference between the amount incurred in a certain fiscal quarter and $62,500 maybe incurred in the two fiscal quarters immediately following such fiscal quarter. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2009, as amended. See Note 22.

        As of December 31, 2009, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $5.2 million under the Revolver with remaining availability under the formula-based calculation of $1.8 million.

        The credit facility, as described in Note 10, consists of (i) the Revolver (see Note 10—"Lines of Credit"), (ii) a term loan in the original principal amount of $6 million, of which $5.6 million was outstanding as of December 31, 2009 and is due June 30, 2010 ("Term Loan A"), (iii) a term loan in the original principal amount of $10 million, of which $2.7 million was outstanding as of December 31, 2009 and is due on June 30, 2010 ("Term Loan B"), and (iv) Term Loan C, which originally provided for a principal amount of $3 million and has since been retired. Term Loan A was fully funded on November 30, 2007 while Term Loans B and C were fully funded on August 20, 2008 in connection with the acquisition of ACC. $6.8 million of Term Loan B and all of Term Loan C was repaid in March 2009, in connection with the sale of the Company's Digitran Operations. Term Loan A and Term Loan B require an aggregate scheduled principal payment of $75,000 bi-weekly beginning on February 1, 2010 through the maturity date of June 30, 2010. The facility also requires monthly interest payments and a final balloon payment of $7.4 million upon maturity on June 30, 2010. As a result of the partial repayment on Term Loan B in March 2009, a pro-rata portion of the balance of deferred financing costs and debt discount were accelerated and are reflected in interest expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2009.

        The Term Loans A and B bear interest at the Base Rate plus 4.25%, subject to a minimum rate of 12.5% per annum, and required interest only payments in the first year, scheduled principal plus interest payments in years two and three, and a final balloon payment at June 30, 2010. Interest on the Term Loans is payable monthly.

        As part of the consideration for entering into the Credit Agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase 788,000 shares of the Company's common stock with a fair value of $1.5 million, which is accounted for as a discount to the Credit Facility and is amortized over the term of the Credit Agreement. See Note 13.

        Upon the sale or disposition by the Borrowers or any of their subsidiaries of property or assets, the Borrowers may be obligated to prepay the Revolver and the term loans with the net cash proceeds received in connection with such sales or dispositions to the extent that the aggregate amount of net cash proceeds received, and not paid to the Lender as a prepayment, for all such sales or dispositions exceed $150,000 in any fiscal year. However, in order to repay its obligations, the Borrowers agreed to sell a significant portion of its assets in 2010. As discussed further in Note 22 "Subsequent Events" in our December 31, 2009 financial statements, these assets contributed approximately $20 million of net sales or 37% of the Company's net sales and operating income of approximately $3 million of the Company's total operating income from continuing operations of $1.4 million for 2009. The Company will retain a percentage of the proceeds of some of such sales for working capital and pursuant to the agreement, will use the remaining proceeds to pay down the obligations owed to the Lender.

NOTE 11—DEBT (Continued)

        If the Lender terminates the credit facility during a default period then the Company is subject to a penalty equal to 2% of the outstanding principal balance of the Revolver and the Term Loans. The Revolver is subject to an unused line fee of 0.5% per annum, payable monthly, on any unused portion of the revolving credit facility.

        In the event of a default and continuation of a default, the Lender may accelerate the payment of the principal balance requiring the Company to pay the entire indebtedness outstanding on that date. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, the Lender may also elect to increase the interest rate applicable to the outstanding balance by four percentage points above the per annum interest rate that would otherwise be applicable.

        Pursuant to a January 2010 amendment to the Credit Facility, the Borrowers have agreed with the Lender that it has the right to appoint an outside observer to review the Borrower's books and records and business operations, with certain limitations designed to minimize disruption to the business operations of the Borrowers. In addition, pursuant to that amendment, certain fees (including a $200,000 advisory fee arising in connection with that amendment, which is recorded in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet) and certain expenses owed by Borrowers have been deferred until the Maturity Date of June 30, 2010. In connection with that recent amendment, Borrowers agreed to sell a significant portion of its assets by June 30, 2010 and committed to certain milestone events associated with the sales process. Failure to achieve these milestones and/or failure to sell the required assets by the agreed upon dates, all of which are prior to June 30, 2010, can result in a default under the Credit Agreement. Borrowers are also obligated to provide financial information and status reports to the Lender on a regular basis.

        See Note 2, Note 10, and Note 14 regarding additional terms and conditions associated with the Company's credit facility and risks associated with this credit facility.

        In connection with the acquisition of Larus Corporation, the Company issued promissory notes, dated July 13, 2004, to two former stockholders of CXR Larus Corporation (formerly Larus Corporation) totaling $3.0 million. These notes are subordinated to the Company's bank debt. The notes bear interest at 6% and mature in December 2010. The balance of the notes was $0.8 million at December 31, 2008, of which $0.5 million was current. The balance of the notes was $0.3 million at December 31, 2009, all of which was current.

        The Company has capital leases relating to capital equipment. The leases generally contain bargain purchase options and expire at various dates through December 31, 2017. Capitalized lease obligations are calculated using interest rates appropriate at the inception of the lease and range from 6% to 18%. Leases are amortized over the lease term using the effective interest method.

NOTE 12—STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

        At December 31, 2009, a variety of the Company's stock-based compensation grants or awards were outstanding for employees (including executive officers) and members of the board of directors. All stock-based compensation plans were approved by the Company's board of directors.

Description of Stock Option Plans

        The Company has five stock option plans:

•

Employee Stock and Stock Option Plan, effective July 1, 1994, provides for non-qualified stock options as well as restricted and non-restricted stock awards to both employees and outside consultants. Up to 520,000 shares were authorized for issuance under this plan. Terms of related grants under the plan are at the discretion of the board of directors. The board of directors does not intend to issue any additional options or make any additional stock grants under this plan.

•

1993 Stock Option Plan, provides for the grant of up to 300,000 incentive and non-qualified stock options to purchase stock at not less than the current market value on the date of grant.

C-35

EMRISE CORPORATION

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 12—STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (Continued)

Options granted under this plan vest ratably over three years and expire 10 years after date of grant. The board of directors does not intend to issue any additional options under this plan.

•

The 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (the "1997 Plan") provides that options granted may be either qualified or nonqualified stock options and are required to be granted at fair market value on the date of grant. Subject to termination of employment, options may expire up to ten years from the date of grant and are nontransferable other than in the event of death, disability or certain other transfers that the committee of the board of directors administering the 1997 Plan may permit. Up to 1,600,000 stock options were authorized to be granted under the 1997 Plan. The board of directors does not intend to issue any additional options under this plan.

•

The 2000 Stock Option Plan was adopted by the board of directors in November 2000 and approved by the stockholders on January 16, 2001. The board of directors adopted the Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Option Plan (the "2000 Plan") effective as of August 3, 2001. Under the 2000 Plan, options granted may be either incentive or nonqualified options. Incentive options must have an exercise price of not less than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. Nonqualified options must have an exercise price of not less than 85% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. Up to 2,000,000 options may be granted under the 2000 Plan. No option may be exercised more than ten years after the date of grant. The board of directors does not intend to issue any additional options under this plan.

•

The 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2007 Plan") was adopted by the board of directors in November 2007 and approved by the stockholders on December 12, 2007. Under the 2007 Plan, the administrator may grant or issue stock options (incentive or nonqualified), stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards and stock payments, or any combination thereof.. Up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock may be granted pursuant to awards under the 2007 Plan. Incentive and nonqualified options must have an exercise price of not less than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant and may not be exercised more than ten years after the date of grant. However, incentive options granted to an individual who owns (or is deemed to own) more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all class of EMRISE stock must have an exercise price of not less than 110% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant and may not be exercised more than five years after the date of grant. The base price of any SAR granted under the 2007 Plan must be at least 100% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. SARs will be settled in shares of common stock. Restricted stock may have a price as determined by the administrator. Restricted stock units entitle the holder to receive vested shares of common stock. Neither restricted stock or restricted stock units may be sold or otherwise hypothecated or transferred. Performance awards will be paid in shares of common stock and may be granted to employees, consultants or independent directors based on specific performance criteria. Stock payments may be issued to employees, independent directors or consultants in the form of common stock or an option or other right to purchase common stock and may be issued as part of a deferred compensation arrangement that would otherwise be paid in cash.

NOTE 12—STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (Continued)

        On November 19, 2008, the Company completed a board of directors approved 1-for-3.75 reverse split of its common stock. All common stock, stock options and warrants to purchase common stock and earnings per share amounts have been retroactively restated as if the reverse stock split occurred at the beginning of the periods presented.

        Stock option activity for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was as follows:

	2009					2008
	Shares (in 000's)			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Shares (in 000's)			Weighted Average Exercise Price
Outstanding, beginning of year		695		$	3.47		482		$	4.20

Exercisable, end of year		478		$	3.81		432		$	4.01

        As of December 31, 2009, the Company had 478,000 fully-vested stock options, with a weighted average exercise price of $3.81 and remaining term of 9.3 years. The Company expects that 205,000 stock options (after forfeitures), with a weighted-average exercise price of $2.24 and remaining term of 14.2 years, will vest in the future. The aggregate intrinsic value is approximately $0.9 million for unvested and vested options at December 31, 2009 based on the Company's average common stock closing price in 2009.

        The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding at December 31, 2009:

	Options Outstanding						Options Exercisable
Range of Exercise Prices	Options (in 000's)		Weighted Average Remaining Life in Years		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Options (in 000's)		Weighted Average Exercise Price

        Total stock-based compensation expense included in wages, salaries and related costs was $148,000 and $88,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. These compensation expenses were charged to selling, general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had $235,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock option grants, which will be recognized over the remaining weighted average period of 1.5 years.

NOTE 13—WARRANTS

        In connection with entering into the credit facility (discussed in Note 11), the Company issued a seven year warrant to Private Equity Management Group, Inc., ("PEM Group"), an affiliate of the Lender, to purchase up to 775,758 shares of the Company's common stock on a cash or cashless basis at an original exercise price of $4.13 per share, (which amount reflects the Company's 1-for-3.75 reverse split of its common stock effective November 18, 2008). The estimated fair value of the warrants was $1.5 million, which was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The warrants were originally accounted for as debt discount and the adjustment resulting from the repricing of the warrants increased the debt discount, which is being amortized over the remaining life of the credit facility. The warrants were previously recorded in stockholder's equity.

        In February 2009, the warrants were amended and reissued in conjunction with an amendment to the credit facility. Pursuant to the Second Amendment to Loan Documents, the original warrant was divided into two warrants (each, a "Second Amended and Restated Warrant" and collectively, the "Second Amended and Restated Warrants"). Each Second Amended and Restated Warrant covers 387,879 shares of the Company's common stock (which amount reflects the Company's 1-for-3.75 reverse split of its common stock effective November 18, 2008). One of the Second Amended and Restated Warrants provides for an exercise price of $1.99 per share (which amount reflects the Company's 1-for-3.75 reverse split of its common stock effective November 18, 2008). The other Second Amended and Restated Warrant provides for an exercise price of $1.80 per share (which amount reflects the Company's 1-for-3.75 reverse split of its common stock effective November 18, 2008 and a reduction from a post-split exercise price of $3.06 per share).

        The exercise price and/or number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including certain issuances of securities at a price equal to less than the then current exercise price, subdivisions and stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers or sales of properties and assets and upon issuance of certain assets or securities to holders of the Company's common stock, as applicable. On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB updates which affected how instruments indexed to an entity's own stock are accounted for. The adoption of the revised FASB guidance resulted in the reclassification of the PEM Group warrants from stockholders' equity to liabilities, and now requires that the warrants to be fair valued pursuant to "mark to market" provisions at each reporting period, with the changes in fair value recognized in the Company's consolidated statement of operations.

        At January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009, the Company had warrants subject to "mark to market" provisions outstanding to purchase 775,758 shares of common stock. The Company computed the fair value of the warrants using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The fair value of these warrants on the date of adoption of January 1, 2009 and on December 31, 2009 was determined using the following assumptions:

	January 1, 2009			December 31, 2009
Dividend yield		None			None
Expected volatility		105	%		71	%
Risk-free interest rate		0.88	%		1.14	%
Expected term		7 years			7 years
Stock price	$	1.58		$	0.76

NOTE 13—WARRANTS (Continued)

        On January 1, 2009, in connection with the adoption of this treatment for the warrant, the Company recorded a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle adjustment to its accumulated deficit of $473,000 and a corresponding reclassification of these outstanding warrants from stockholders' equity to warrant liability. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2009, the change in fair value of the warrants resulted in a $718,000 income adjustment to other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations and a corresponding increase or decrease to the warrant liability. The following table reflects warrants outstanding and related activity for warrants authorized for issuance by the board of directors to certain officers, directors, stockholders, key employees and other parties:

	Number of Shares (in 000's)			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Life in Years		Average Intrinsic Value (in-the-money) Warrants

        There were no warrants outstanding at December 31, 2009 where the exercise price was below the market price for the Company's shares (in-the-money).

NOTE 14—NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

        Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average common shares outstanding during a period. Diluted income (loss) per share is based on the treasury stock method and includes the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants outstanding during the period. Common share equivalents have been excluded where their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As a result of the loss incurred by the Company in 2008, the potentially dilutive common shares have been excluded because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. The following table illustrates the

NOTE 15—INCOME TAXES (Continued)

        Tax benefit from income of discontinued operations represents the tax benefit of domestic losses in continuing operations that were recognized for accounting purposes due to domestic income reported within discontinued operations.

        The Company's business is subject to regulation under a wide variety of U.S. federal, state and foreign tax laws, regulations and policies. The majority of the Company's foreign subsidiaries have earnings and profits that are reinvested indefinitely. However, under the credit facility described in Notes 10 and 11, the foreign subsidiaries have issued guarantees on the credit facility and, as a result, under IRC §956, have been deemed to have distributed these earnings to fund U.S. operations. This has resulted in U.S. federal taxable income and an increase in U.S. tax liability, which has been reduced through utilization of available net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits.

        The Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $5.1 million and $12.9 million as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, which expire at various dates beginning in 2012 through 2018. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded a valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset. Management believes sufficient uncertainty exists regarding the realizability of the deferred tax asset items and that a valuation allowance is required. Management considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could materially change in the near future if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are changed.

        Utilization of the Company's net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. Such an annual limitation could result in the expiration or elimination of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards before utilization. As a result of a merger in 1997, the Company experienced a more than 50% ownership change for federal income tax purposes. Of the pre-1997 net operating loss carryforwards subject to limitation, approximately $276,000 per year is available to offset future federal taxable income.

        Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax

        The Company adopted FASB guidance for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes on January 1, 2007. The implementation of this guidance did not result in a material adjustment to the Company's liability for unrecognized income tax benefits. At the time of adoption and as of December 31, 2009, the Company had recorded no net unrecognized tax benefits.

NOTE 16—OPERATING SEGMENTS

        The Company has two reportable operating segments: electronic devices and communications equipment. The electronic devices segment manufactures and markets electronic power supplies, RF and microwave devices and subsystem assemblies. The electronic devices segment consists of the Company's three electronic device subsidiaries, one located in the U.S. and two located in England, all of which offer the same or similar products to the same or similar customers. The communications equipment segment designs, manufactures and distributes network access products and timing and synchronization products. The communications equipment segment consists of operating entities CXR Larus Corporation located in the U.S. and CXR Anderson Jacobson located in France, both of which offer the same or similar products to similar customers. Both segments operate primarily in the U.S. and European markets, but they have distinctly different customers, design and manufacturing processes and marketing strategies. Each segment has discrete financial information and a separate management structure.

        The Company evaluates performance based upon contribution margin of the segments and also upon profit or loss from operations before income taxes exclusive of nonrecurring gains and losses. The Company accounts for intersegment sales at pre-determined prices negotiated between the individual segments.

        During the first quarter of 2009, the Company sold its Digitran Operations (see Note 4), which were part of its electronic devices segment. During the first quarter of 2010, the Company sold its RO Operations (see Note 4), which were part of its electronic devices segment. In June 2010, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its ACC Operations, (see Note 4) which were part of the electronic devices segment. In this report, the Digitran Operations are classified as a discontinued operation and the RO and the ACC Operations are reported as discontinued and held for sale operations for all periods presented. All three operations were excluded from the electronics devices segment. Therefore, prior period amounts have been adjusted to conform to this presentation.

Litigation

        The Company is not currently a party to any material legal proceedings. However, the Company and its subsidiaries are, from time to time, involved in legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. While the amounts claimed may be substantial, the ultimate liability cannot presently be determined because of considerable uncertainties that exist. Therefore, it is possible the outcome of such legal proceedings, claims and litigation could have a material effect on quarterly or annual operating results or cash flows when resolved in a future period. However, based on facts currently available, management believes such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 19—RELATED PARTIES

        In connection with the acquisition of Larus Corporation, the Company issued promissory notes, dated July 13, 2004, to two former stockholders of CXR Larus Corporation (formerly Larus Corporation) totaling $3.0 million. These notes are subordinated to the Company's bank debt and were originally payable in 72 equal monthly payments of principal plus interest at the 30-day LIBOR plus 5% with a maximum interest rate of 7% during the first two years of the term of the notes, 8% during the third and fourth years, and 9% thereafter. Pursuant to a recent amendment, the notes now bear interest at the fixed rate of 6% and principal payments have been modified to varying monthly payments between $11,000 and $42,000, per month with the final payments scheduled for December, 2010. Future maturities of notes payable to stockholders are $348,000 in 2010. Interest paid on these notes was $30,000 and $84,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

        Additionally, the Company entered into an above-market real property lease with the two former stockholders of CXR Larus Corporation. The lease represented an obligation that exceeded the fair market value by approximately $756,000. The lease term is for 7 years and expires on June 30, 2011. It is renewable for a 5-year term priced under market conditions. The base rent is based on a minimum rent of $.90 per square foot per month, which is $27,000 monthly or $324,000 per year, subject to monthly adjustments of the interest rate based on the Federal Reserve Discount Rate that match the lessor's variable interest rate mortgage payments on the building. The maximum increase in any year is 1.5%, with a cumulative maximum increase of 8% over the life of the lease. The increases apply to that portion of the rent that corresponds to the interest portion of the lessor's mortgage. Lease payments paid to the related parties during 2009 and 2008 totaled $410,000 and $390,000, respectively. Future minimum lease payments under the operating lease payable to the stockholders are included in Note 18.

        In connection with the Acquisition of ACC, EEC issued Subordinated Secured Contingent Promissory Notes (the "Notes"), as amended, to each of the Sellers. See Note 3. Two of the sellers are still employed by ACC and, therefore, are deemed related parties and hold a majority of the balance of the Notes. The total balance of the notes at December 31, 2009 was $4.3 million. On July 1, 2010, all accrued interest at that date and $1.3 million of principal payments are due. The remaining balance of the Notes is due in November 2010. In addition to the Notes, the remaining cash contingent consideration of $2.0 million was accrued at December 31, 2009 in current liabilities of discontinued and held for sale operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, the majority of which relates to the individuals still employed by ACC. This amount is due in November 2010.

Services rendered by Mr. Oliva include artistic design associated with the Company's promotional materials and website, evaluation and recommendations for best practices of public companies, including research related to market matters and access to key relationships that he maintains with NYSE Arca and other exchanges. Payments made to Mr. Oliva for these services were $12,000 and $58,000 during the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

        There are no guarantees by officers or fees paid to officers or loans to or from officers of the Company.

NOTE 20—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

        FASB guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants and also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between three levels of inputs that may be utilized when measuring fair value as follows:

        Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.

        Level 2—Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

        Level 3—Inputs that are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

        As of December 31, 2009, the Company was required to apply updated FASB guidance to the derivative that is within the warrant that was issued as consideration for the Company's credit facility, which is discussed in Note 13 and included as a discount on the Company's long-term debt. The derivative was valued using the Black-Scholes model. The key inputs in the model are as follows:

	December 31, 2009
Dividend yield		None
Expected volatility		71	%
Risk-free interest rate		1.14	%
Expected term		7 years
Stock price	$	0.76

NOTE 21—RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Adopted

        FASB Accounting Standards Codification.™    On September 30, 2009, the Company adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") to the authoritative hierarchy of GAAP. These changes establish the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ ("Codification") as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates. Accounting Standards Updates will not be authoritative in their own right as they will only serve to update the Codification. These changes and the Codification itself do not change GAAP. Other than the manner in which new accounting guidance is referenced, the adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

        Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure.    In January 2009, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB to fair value accounting and reporting as it relates to non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on at least an annual basis. These changes define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance applies to other GAAP that require or permit fair value measurements and is to be applied prospectively with limited exceptions. The adoption of these changes, as it relates to non-financial assets and liabilities, had no impact on the Company's financial statements.

        In August 2009, the FASB issued an update to the fair value measurement guidance to clarify how an entity should measure liabilities at fair value. The update reaffirms fair value is based on an orderly transaction between market participants, even though liabilities are infrequently transferred due to contractual or other legal restrictions. However, identical liabilities traded in the active market should be used when available. When quoted prices are not available, the quoted price of the identical liability traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities traded as an asset, or another valuation approach should be used. This update also clarifies that restrictions preventing the transfer of a liability should not be considered as a separate input or adjustment in the measurement of fair value. The adoption of this update for fair value measurements of liabilities had no impact on the Company's financial statements.

NOTE 21—RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued)

        Business Combinations.    On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted an update to existing accounting standards for business combinations. The update, which retains the underlying concepts of the original standard in that all business combinations are still required to be accounted for at fair value under the acquisition method of accounting, changes the method of applying the acquisition method. Acquisition costs are no longer considered part of the fair value of an acquisition and will generally be expensed as incurred, non-controlling interests are valued at fair value at the acquisition date, in-process research and development is recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date, restructuring costs associated with a business combination are generally expensed subsequent to the acquisition date, and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense.

        In April 2009, the FASB issued a further update in relation to accounting for assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies, which amends the previous guidance to require contingent assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination to be recognized at fair value on the acquisition date if fair value can be reasonably estimated during the measurement period. If fair value cannot be reasonably estimated during the measurement period, the contingent asset or liability would be recognized in accordance with standards and guidance on accounting for contingencies and reasonable estimation of the amount of a loss. Further, this update eliminated the specific subsequent accounting guidance for contingent assets and liabilities without significantly revising the original guidance. However, contingent consideration arrangements of an acquiree assumed by the acquirer in a business combination would still be initially and subsequently measured at fair value. These updates are applicable prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. The adoption of these provisions will have an impact on accounting for any business acquired after January 1, 2009.

        Derivatives and Hedging.    On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB to disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities. These changes require enhanced disclosures about an entity's derivative and hedging activities, including (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance and cash flows. Other than the required disclosures, the adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

        On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted an update issued by the FASB to the accounting for instruments (or embedded features) indexed to an entity's own stock. These changes clarify the determination of whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity's own stock, which would qualify as a scope exception under previously issued guidance. The adoption of these changes resulted in the reclassification of certain of the Company's outstanding warrants from stockholders' equity to liabilities, which requires the warrants to be fair valued at each reporting period, with the changes in fair value recognized in the Company's consolidated statement of operations. See Note 13—Warrants.

        Intangibles—Goodwill and Other.    On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB to account for intangible assets. These changes amend the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset in order to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset outside of a business combination and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair

NOTE 21—RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued)

value of an intangible asset in a business combination. The adoption of these changes did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

        Financial Instruments.    On June 30, 2009, the Company adopted an update to accounting standards for disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments, which requires publicly-traded companies to provide disclosures on the fair value of financial instruments in the interim financial statements. Other than the required disclosures, the adoption of this update had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

        Subsequent Events.    On June 30, 2009, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB to accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued, otherwise known as "subsequent events." Specifically, these changes set forth (1) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements: (2) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financials statements; and (3) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The adoption of these changes did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Issued, but not adopted

        Revenue Recognition.    In October 2009, the FASB issued an update to existing guidance on revenue recognition for arrangements with multiple deliverables. This update will allow companies to allocate consideration received for qualified separate deliverables using estimated selling prices for both delivered and undelivered items when vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence is unavailable. Additional disclosures discussing the nature of multiple element arrangements, the types of deliverables under the arrangements, the general timing of their delivery, and significant factors and estimates used to determine estimated selling prices are required. The Company will adopt this update for new revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified beginning January 1, 2011. The Company is still evaluating the impact, if any, of the adoption of this new revenue recognition guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 22—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Disposition of Assets

        On March 22, 2010, EEC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into and consummated the closing under an asset purchase agreement by and among Astrodyne Corporation ("Astrodyne"), RO, and EEC dated March 22, 2010 (the "Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which Astrodyne purchased substantially all of the assets, properties, and business as a going concern of RO (the "RO Sale"). The assets of RO that were sold and transferred to Astrodyne include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) machinery and equipment; (ii) raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods relating to RO; (iii) tangible personal property, such as office furniture and equipment; (iv) advance payments, rental deposits, and other similar assets; (v) rights to payments from customers; (vi) books and records; (vii) rights under certain contracts; (viii) intangible rights and property, such as goodwill and rights in and to the name "RO Associates," product names, trade names, trademarks,

NOTE 22—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (Continued)

fictitious names and service marks; (ix) information and data; (x) unfilled purchase and sale orders; (xi) governmental authorizations relating to RO's business and pending applications in connection with such authorizations; (xii) RO's rights to its business of manufacturing and selling standard, high-density AC to DC, and DC to DC converters (the "Business"); and (xiii) all claims, causes of action, and judgments relating to the Business. Such sale and transfer was deemed to be a disposition of an insignificant amount of assets by the Company and EEC. RO retained certain rights, as fully described in the Purchase Agreement, including certain records, rights to benefits plans and insurance policies and proceeds, and certain assets.

        As part of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, Astrodyne assumed certain specified liabilities of RO pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement by and between Astrodyne and RO (the "Assignment and Assumption Agreement"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, EEC also agreed to guarantee the full, complete, and timely compliance with and performance of all agreements, covenants and obligations of RO in connection with the RO Sale.

        Astrodyne paid RO an aggregate purchase price for the RO Sale of $1,000,000, plus the assumption of certain assumed liabilities pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, subject to a purchase price adjustment. As additional consideration for Astrodyne's entry into the Purchase Agreement and consummation of the contemplated transactions under such agreement, EEC and RO agreed that, for a certain period immediately following the closing date, they would not compete with the Business, perform services for any person in competition with the Business or solicit certain specified customers of the Business, or hire any employees of Astrodyne or its affiliates.

        In connection with the Company's divestiture of RO, which comprised a portion of the Company's electronic devices segment, the Company incurred approximately $250,000 in cash charges that were paid at closing or just subsequent to closing relating to legal, accounting and investment banking fees. The Company does not expect to incur any additional costs associated with this transaction. The Company estimates that it will incur a loss on the sale of the RO assets of approximately $0.4 million, which could increase or decrease as closing costs and other matters are finalized.

Assets Held for Sale

        As discussed in Note 4, on June 7, 2010, Aeroflex Incorporated and EMRISE Electronics Corporation entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement relating to the sale of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Advanced Control Components, Inc. and all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Custom Components, Inc. The Company has classified the ACC Operations as held for sale in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to Credit Facility

        On January 25, 2010, EMRISE and the Lender entered into Amendment Number 8 to Loan Documents, which amends EMRISE's Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2009. All references to the Credit Facility herein refer to the Credit Agreement as amended from time to time. The Credit Facility requires the sale of a significant portion of the Company's assets by June 30, 2010 (the "Maturity Date"). The Company is required to achieve certain milestones in connection with these sale activities and the maintenance of maximum capital expenditure financial covenants. The Lender has the current right to appoint an outside observer to review the Company's books and records and business operations, with certain limitations designed to minimize disruption to the business operations. In

C-53

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 22—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (Continued)

addition, the Company must make bi-weekly payments of $75,000 through the Maturity Date. Upon the sale of the assets the Company agreed to sell, the Company will retain a percentage of the proceeds of some of such sales for working capital and are obligated to use the remaining proceeds to pay down the obligations owed to the Lender. The Company is also obligated to provide financial information and status reports to the Lender on a regular basis.

        The practical effect of Amendment 8 was to provide a forbearance by the Lender through the Maturity Date on the equity raise default and the possible financial covenant defaults that was and may have been otherwise triggered under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2009 and allows the Company time to sell the specified assets in order to pay down the obligations to the Lender. The Company believes that net proceeds from the sales of assets contemplated by the Credit Facility will be sufficient to pay the obligations owed to Lender in full.

        In April, 2010, the Borrowers and the Lender entered into Amendment Number 9 to Loan Documents, which removes the obligation to sell certain assets while retaining the obligation to sell other assets, and provides some clarity that the Lender will not charge fees for making adjustments to the milestones required to be met before the maturity date, provided certain conditions are satisfied. In May 2010, the Borrowers and the Lender entered into Amendments Number 10 and 11 to Loan Documents, which adjusted certain milestones required to be met before the maturity date. In June 2010, the Borrowers and the Lender entered into Amendment Number 12 to Loan Documents, which modified the schedule for certain milestone events related to the process for the sale of certain assets of the Borrowers and provides for the Lender's consent to the sale of such assets. On June 17, 2010, the Borrowers and the Lender entered into Amendment Number 13 to Loan Documents, which extends the maturity date of the Credit Agreement from June 30, 2010 to July 16, 2010 and modifies the schedule for certain milestone events related to the process for the sale of certain assets of the Borrowers.

        If a new event of default were to occur, including the failure to achieve any of the milestones, the Lender could accelerate the debt and exercise its rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement, which could include a foreclosure on the Company's assets before the contemplated asset sales could be completed. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully sell the contemplated assets in the agreed time frames and/or at prices sufficient to satisfy the debt owed to Lender, if at all. Even if the Company does successfully sell the contemplated assets and pay the obligations owed to the Lender in full, the Company's ongoing revenues will be substantially reduced which could have a material adverse affect on its operations and financial condition.

Revised Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations

        On June 7, 2010, EEC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of EMRISE Corporation, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement by and among Aeroflex, as buyer, and EEC, as seller, relating to the sale of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of ACC and all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of CCI. In accordance with guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board related to the accounting for the impairment and disposal of long-lived assets, the ACC Operations have been classified as discontinued operations in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2010 that was filed with the SEC on May 17, 2010. Because the ACC Operations have not previously been presented as a discontinued operation in the Company's management's discussion and analysis included with its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, the accompanying revised Management's Discussion and Analysis reflects adjustments to present the ACC Operations as a discontinued operation.

Item 7.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

        The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. This report and the following discussion contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which generally include the plans and objectives of management for future operations, including plans and objectives relating to our future economic performance and our current beliefs regarding revenues we might generate, expenses we might incur and profits we might earn if we are successful in implementing our business and growth strategies. The forward-looking statements and associated risks may include, the risk factors described in detail in this Annual Report and relate to or be qualified by other important factors, including, without limitation:

•

our ability to continue to borrow funds under the revolver terms of our credit facility (see "—Liquidity and Capital Resources");

•

our ability to sell assets and achieve the milestones for such transactions, as required by our Lender under the terms of the credit facility;

•

the ongoing revenues and profitability of the Company will be substantially reduced as a result of our sale a significant portion of the Company's assets in order to satisfy our debt obligations. This could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations, financial condition and ability to continue operations;

•

our ability to find and secure alternate financing to our current credit facility on or before June 30, 2010, including a replacement revolver facility in the event the obligations under the current facility are paid in full;

•

exposure to and impacts of various international risks including legal, business, political and economic risks associated with our international operations, also including the impact of foreign currency translation (see "—Foreign Currency Translation");

•

the projected growth or contraction in the electronic devices and communications equipment markets in which we operate;

•

our strategies for expanding, maintaining or contracting our presence in these markets;

•

anticipated trends in our financial condition and results of operations;

•

our ability to meet our working capital and other financing needs;

•

our ability to distinguish ourselves from our current and future competitors;

•

our ability to secure long term purchase orders;

•

our ability to deliver against existing or future backlog;

•

technical or quality issues experienced by us, our suppliers and/or our customers;

•

failure to comply with existing or future government or industry standards and regulations;

•

our ability to successfully locate, acquire and integrate any possible future acquisitions;

•

our ability to successfully support the working capital needs of our company;

•

the impact of current and/or future economic conditions, including but not limited to the overall condition of the stock market, the overall credit market, the global recession, political, economic and/or other constraints which are or may negatively impact the industries in which we participate and/or the ability for us to market the products which we sell; and

C-56

•

our ability to successfully compete against competitors that in many cases are larger than we, have access to significantly more working capital than we and have significant resources in comparison to us.

        We do not undertake to update, revise or correct any forward-looking statements.

        Any of the factors described above or in the "Risk Factors" sections contained in this report could cause our financial results, including our net income or loss or growth in net income or loss to differ materially from prior results, which in turn could, among other things, cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially.

Recent Transactions

Discontinued and Held for Sale Operations

        On June 7, 2010, Aeroflex Incorporated and EMRISE Electronics Corporation entered into the Purchase Agreement relating to the sale of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of ACC and all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of CCI. This business is part of our electronic devices business segment. For purposes of the following discussion and analysis, the ACC Operations have been removed from the comparisons and are reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements as a discontinued and held for sale operation for all periods presented.

        On March 22, 2010, EMRISE completed the sale of substantially all the assets of its subsidiary, RO Associates to Massachusetts based Astrodyne Corporation. In this Report, we refer to the businesses of RO Associates as the "RO Operations," and we refer to the sale of the RO Associates assets as the "RO Transaction." Our RO Associates subsidiary, located in San Jose, California, manufactured, marketed and sold standard power supplies to the defense and industrial markets. The RO Associates operation was classified within our electronic devices business segment. For purposes of the following discussion and analysis, the RO Operations have been removed from the comparisons and are reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements as a discontinued and held for sale operation for all periods presented.

        On March 20, 2009, we completed the sale of substantially all the assets of the Digitran division of our wholly-owned subsidiary, EMRISE Electronics Corporation, or EEC, and all the capital stock of ECC's wholly-owned subsidiary, XCEL Japan Ltd., which primarily acted as a sales office for the Digitran division, to Electro Switch Corp. In this report we refer to the businesses of the Digitran Division and XCEL Japan, Ltd. as the "Digitran Operations," and we refer to the sale of the Digitran division and XCEL Japan, Ltd. as the "Digitran Transaction." Within our Digitran division we manufactured, marketed and sold electro-mechanical digital and new patented technology very low profile TM rotary switches for the worldwide aerospace, defense and industrial markets. Tokyo-based XCEL Japan Ltd. primarily sold Digitran's switch product lines in Japan and other countries in Asia. These businesses were part of our electronic devices business segment. For purposes of the following discussion and analysis, the Digitran Operations have been removed from the prior period comparisons and the quarterly results of the Digitran Operations are reported in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented as a discontinued operation.

Credit Facility and Obligation to Sell Additional Assets

        On January 25, 2010, EMRISE and its Lender entered into Amendment Number 8 to Loan Documents, which amended EMRISE's Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2009. All references to the Credit Facility herein refer to the Credit Agreement as amended. The Credit Facility requires the sale of a significant portion of our assets by June 30, 2010 (the "Maturity Date"). As discussed further in Note 3 in our March 31, 2010 financial statements, these assets contributed approximately $20 million or 37% of the Company's net sales from continuing operations and operating income of

C-57

approximately $3 million of the Company's total operating income from continuing operations of $1.4 million for 2009. The Company is required to achieve certain milestones in connection with these sale activities and the maintenance of maximum capital expenditure financial covenants. Lender has the current right to appoint an outside observer to review our books and records and business operations, with certain limitations designed to minimize disruption to our business operations. Upon the sale of the assets we agreed to sell, we will retain a percentage of the proceeds of some of such sales for working capital and are obligated to use the remaining proceeds to pay down the obligations owed to the Lender. We are also obligated to provide financial information and status reports to the Lender on a regular basis. The practical effect of the January 25th amendment was to provide a forbearance by the Lender through the Maturity Date on the equity raise default and the possible financial covenant defaults that was and may have been otherwise triggered under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2009 and allow us time to sell certain assets in order to pay down the obligations to the Lender.

        In April, 2010, the Borrowers and the Lender entered into Amendment Number 9 to Loan Documents, which removes the obligation to sell certain assets while retaining the obligation to sell other assets, and provides some clarity that the Lender will not charge fees for making adjustments to the milestones required to be met before the maturity date, provided certain conditions are satisfied. In May 2010, the Borrowers and the Lender entered into Amendments Number 10 and 11 to Loan Documents, which adjusted certain milestones required to be met before the maturity date. In June 2010, the Borrowers and the Lender entered into Amendment Number 12 to Loan Documents, which modified the schedule for certain milestone events related to the process for the sale of certain assets of the Borrowers and provides for the Lender's consent to the sale of such assets. On June 17, 2010, the Borrowers and the Lender entered into Amendment Number 13 to Loan Documents, which extends the maturity date of the Credit Agreement from June 30, 2010 to July 16, 2010 and modifies the schedule for certain milestone events related to the process for the sale of certain assets of the Borrowers.

        If an event of default were to occur, the Lender could accelerate the debt and exercise its rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement. An acceleration of the principal, deferred fees and accrued interest due on the date of a declared event of default would be a significant amount that would be due on such date. If such an acceleration were declared, we do not have the ability to pay such amount from currently available sources at this time. The rights and remedies available to the Lender under the Credit Agreement in the event of a declared event of default include a foreclosure on our assets before the contemplated asset sales could be completed. The Lender may also elect to increase the interest rate applicable to the outstanding balance of the Term Loans A and B by four percentage points above the per annum interest rate that would otherwise be applicable. Additionally, if the lender terminates the credit facility during a default period then we are subject to a penalty equal to 2% of the outstanding principal balance of the Revolver and the Term Loans.

Business Description

        We design, manufacture and market proprietary electronic devices and communications equipment for aerospace, defense, industrial, and communications applications. We have operations in the U.S., England, and France. We organize our business in two operating segments: electronic devices and communications equipment. In 2009, our electronic devices segment contributed approximately 66% of overall net sales while the communications segment contributed approximately 34% of overall net sales. Our subsidiaries within our electronic devices segment design, develop, manufacture and market power supplies, radio frequency, or RF, and microwave devices for defense, aerospace and industrial markets. Our subsidiaries within our communications equipment segment design, develop, manufacture and market network access equipment, including network timing and synchronization products, for

C-58

communications applications in public and private networks, defense and industrial markets, including utilities and transportation.

        Within our electronic devices segment, we produce a range of power systems and RF and microwave devices. This segment is primarily "project" driven with the majority of revenues being derived from custom products with long life cycles and high barriers to entry. The majority of manufacturing and testing is performed in-house or through sub-contract manufacturers. Our electronic devices are used in a wide range of military airborne, seaborne and land-based systems, and in-flight entertainment systems, including the latest next generation in-flight entertainment and connectivity, or IFE&C, systems, such as applications for mobile phone, e-mail and internet communications and real time, on-board satellite and broadcast TV, which are being installed in new commercial aircraft as well as being retrofitted into existing commercial aircraft.

        Within our communications equipment segment, we produce a range of network access equipment, including network timing and synchronization products, for public and private communications networks. This segment is "end user product" based with a traditional cycle of internally funded development and marketing prior to selling via direct and indirect sales channels. Manufacturing is primarily outsourced. Our communications equipment is used in a broad range of network applications primarily for private communications networks, public communications carriers, and also for utility companies and military applications, including homeland security.

Critical Accounting Policies

        Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of net sales and expenses for each period. The following represents a summary of our critical accounting policies, defined as those policies that we believe are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and that require management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Revenue Recognition

        We derive revenues from sales of electronic devices and communications equipment products and services. Our sales are based upon written agreements or purchase orders that identify the type and quantity of the item and/or services being purchased and the purchase price. We recognize revenues when shipment of products has occurred or services have been rendered, no significant obligations remain on our part, and collectibility is reasonably assured based on our credit and collections practices and policies.

        We recognize revenues from domestic sales of our electronic devices and communications equipment at the point of shipment of those products. An estimate of warranty cost is recorded at the time the revenue is recognized. Product returns are infrequent and require prior authorization because our sales are final and we quality test our products prior to shipment to ensure the products meet the specifications of the binding purchase orders under which those products are shipped. Normally, when a customer requests and receives authorization to return a product, the request is accompanied by a purchase order for a repair or for a replacement product.

        Revenue recognition for products and services provided by ACC and our subsidiaries in England depends upon the type of contract involved. Engineering/design services contracts generally entail design and production of a prototype over a term of up to several years, with revenue deferred until

C-59

each milestone defined in the contract is reached. Production contracts provide for a specific quantity of products to be produced over a specific period of time. Customers issue binding purchase orders or enter into binding agreements for the products to be produced. We recognize revenues on these orders as the products are shipped. Returns are infrequent and permitted only with prior authorization because these products are custom made to order based on binding purchase orders and are quality tested prior to shipment. An estimate of warranty cost is recorded at the time revenue is recognized.

        We recognize revenues for products sold by our subsidiary in France at the point of shipment. Customer discounts are included in the product price list provided to the customer. Returns are infrequent and permitted only with prior authorization because these products are shipped based on binding purchase orders and are quality tested prior to shipment. An estimate of warranty cost is recorded at the time revenue is recognized.

        Revenues from services such as repairs and modifications are recognized when the service is completed and invoiced. For repairs that involve shipment of a repaired product, we recognize repair revenues when the product is shipped back to the customer. Service revenues contribute less than 5% of total revenue and, therefore, are considered to be immaterial to overall financial results.

Product Warranty Liabilities

        Generally, our products carry a standard one-year, limited parts and labor warranty. In certain circumstances, we provide a two-year limited parts and labor warranty. We offer extended warranties beyond two years for an additional cost to our customers. Products returned under warranty typically are tested and repaired or replaced at our option. Historically, we have not experienced significant warranty costs or returns.

        We record a liability for estimated costs that we expect to incur under our basic limited warranties when product revenue is recognized. Factors affecting our warranty liability include the number of units sold, the types of products involved, historical and anticipated rates of claim and historical and anticipated costs per claim. We periodically assess the adequacy of our warranty liability accrual based on changes in these factors.

Inventory Valuation

        Our finished goods electronic devices inventories generally are built to order. Our communications equipment inventories generally are built to forecast, which requires us to produce a larger amount of finished goods in our communications equipment business so that our customers can be served promptly. Our products consist of numerous electronic and other materials, which necessitate that we exercise detailed inventory management. We value our inventory at the lower of the actual cost to purchase or manufacture the inventory (first-in, first-out) or the current estimated market value of the inventory (net realizable value). We perform cycle counts of inventories using an ABC inventory methodology, which groups inventory items into prioritized cycle counting categories, or we conduct physical inventories at least once a year. We regularly review inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on our estimated forecast of product demand and production requirements for the next 12 to 24 months. Additionally, to determine inventory write-down provisions, we review product line inventory levels and individual items as necessary and periodically review assumptions about forecasted demand and market conditions. Any inventory that we determine to be obsolete, either in connection with the physical count or at other times of observation, are reserved for and subsequently written-off. As of December 31, 2009, our total inventory reserves amounted to $4 million of which $2.4 million, or 20.0% of total inventory, related to our electronic devices segment and $1.6 million, or 14% of total inventory, related to our communications equipment segment.

C-60

        The electronic devices and communications equipment industries are characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product development, and rapid product obsolescence that could result in an increase in the amount of obsolete inventory quantities on hand. Also, our estimates of future product demand may prove to be inaccurate, in which case we may have understated or overstated the provision required for excess and obsolete inventory. Although we make every effort to ensure the accuracy of our forecasts of future product demand, any significant unanticipated changes in demand or technological developments could have a significant impact on the value of our inventory and our reported operating results.

Foreign Currency Translation

        We have foreign subsidiaries that together accounted for approximately 84.3% and 86.5% of our net revenues, 75.7% and 73.2% of our total assets and 30.3% and 29.5% of our total liabilities as of and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to translate the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries from the functional currencies in which they keep their accounting records into U.S. dollars. This process results in exchange gains and losses which, under relevant accounting guidance, are included either within our statement of operations under the caption "other income (expense)" or as a separate part of our net equity under the caption "accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)."

        Under relevant accounting guidance, the treatment of these translation gains or losses depends upon management's determination of the functional currency of each subsidiary. This determination involves consideration of relevant economic facts and circumstances affecting the subsidiary. Generally, the currency in which the subsidiary transacts a majority of its transactions, including billings, financing, payroll and other expenditures, would be considered the functional currency. However, management must also consider any dependency of the subsidiary upon the parent and the nature of the subsidiary's operations.

        If management deems any subsidiary's functional currency to be its local currency, then any gain or loss associated with the translation of that subsidiary's financial statements is included as a separate component of stockholders' equity in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). However, if management deems the functional currency to be U.S. dollars, then any gain or loss associated with the translation of these financial statements would be included in other income (expense) within our statement of operations.

        If we dispose of any of our subsidiaries, any cumulative translation gains or losses would be realized into our statement of operations. If we determine that there has been a change in the functional currency of a subsidiary to U.S. dollars, then any translation gains or losses arising after the date of the change would be included within our statement of operations.

        Based on our assessment of the factors discussed above, we consider the functional currency of each of our international subsidiaries to be each subsidiary's local currency. Accordingly, we had cumulative translation losses of $1.6 million and $2.8 million that were included as part of accumulated other comprehensive loss within our balance sheets at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, we included translation gains of $1.2 million and losses of $3.9 million, respectively, under accumulated other comprehensive income.

        The magnitude of these gains or losses depends upon movements in the exchange rates of the foreign currencies in which we transact business as compared to the value of the U.S. dollar. During 2009, these currencies include the euro and the British pound sterling. Any future translation gains or losses could be significantly higher or lower than those we recorded for these periods.

        A 2.5 million British pound sterling loan payable from one of our subsidiaries in England to EMRISE was outstanding as of December 31, 2009 ($4.0 million based on the exchange rate at

C-61

December 31, 2009). Exchange rate losses and gains on the long-term portion of this loan are recorded in cumulative translation gains or losses in the equity section of the balance sheet.

Intangibles, Including Goodwill

        We periodically evaluate our intangibles, including goodwill, for potential impairment. Our judgments regarding the existence of impairment are based on many factors including market conditions and operational performance of our acquired businesses. In assessing potential impairment of goodwill, we consider these factors as well as forecasted financial performance of the acquired businesses. If forecasts are not met, we may have to record additional impairment charges not previously recognized. In assessing the recoverability of our goodwill and other intangibles, we must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of those respective assets. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges for these assets that were not previously recorded. If that were the case, we would have to record an expense in order to reduce the carrying value of our goodwill. Under the Codification guidance for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, we are required to analyze our goodwill for impairment issues at least annually or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. We performed our annual impairment test for goodwill at all of our reporting units as of December 31, 2009. In performing the valuations, we used cash flows that reflected management's forecasts and discount rates that reflect the risks associated with the current market. We consider the results of an income approach and a market approach in determining the fair value of the reporting units. For the income approach we assumed growth 4.0% as a result of expected shipments on existing contracts and future opportunities. We discounted the projected cash flows at 14% to determine the fair value for the electronic devices reporting unit. For the market approach, we used the guideline public company method, under which the fair value of a business is estimated by comparing the subject company to similar companies with publicly traded ownership interests. From these "guideline" companies, valuation multiples are derived and then applied to the appropriate operating statistics of the subject company to arrive at indications of value.

        At December 31, 2009, our reported goodwill totaled $2.9 million, all of which belonged to the electronics devices reporting unit. Based on the results of our testing, the fair values of the electronic devices reporting unit exceeded its book values. However, as a result of the sale of our RO Operations, we recorded a non-cash charge for the impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles of $0.9 million and amortized intangible assets of $0.5 million, which amounts reflect the write down of all of the intangible assets of the RO Operations. These write downs are reflected within income from discontinued and held for sale operations in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Overview

        The majority of our products are customized to the unique specifications of our customers and are subject to variable timing of delivery. Shipments of products can be accelerated or delayed due to many reasons including, but not limited to, exceeding or not meeting customer contract requirements, a change in customer timing or specifications, technology related issues, delays in acquiring raw materials, and other production related issues. Comparability of our revenues and gross profit is difficult from period to period as we typically do not have recurring orders. Exceptions to this include certain long-term military contracts and certain long-term telecommunications contracts.

C-62

        Overall net sales from continuing operations decreased 16% in 2009 as compared to 2008. The decrease is the result of U.S. dollar declines in sales at all of our subsidiaries, although such businesses experienced slight increases in net sales in 2009 on a local currency basis. While our French communication subsidiary experienced a decline in sales due to the impact of the global economic crisis, the declines at our other foreign units were largely due to the impact of exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the British pound sterling and the euro.

        Overall gross profit, as a percentage of sales, ("gross margin"), decreased slightly to 34.3% in 2009 from 34.8% in 2008. The decrease in gross margin was due primarily to a decrease in gross margin within our communication segment primarily as a result of lower sales volumes within that segment.

        The following is a detailed discussion of our results of operations by business segment. As a result of the sale of our Digitran Operations in March 2009 and the classification of our RO Operations and ACC Operations as held for sale at December 31, 2009, for purposes of the following discussion and analysis, the Digitran Operations, RO Operations and ACC Operations, all in the electronic devices segment, have been removed from the prior period comparisons. The results of the Digitran Operations, RO Operations and ACC Operations are reported as a held for sale operation for all periods presented.

Electronic Devices

        The approximately 15% decrease in sales of our electronic devices in 2009 as compared to 2008 was primarily the result of a decrease in net sales at our U.K. subsidiaries, primarily due to the impact of exchange rates on those operation's U.S. dollar results. On a local currency basis, net sales at our U.K. electronic device companies were slightly higher in 2009 as compared to 2008. However, exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the British pound sterling negatively impacted the consolidated results of our U.K. subsidiaries when translated into U.S. dollars in 2009 as compared to 2008. Our electronic devices subsidiaries in the U.K. experienced a 2% increase in sales in local currency, the British pound sterling, for 2009 compared to 2008. However, when translated into U.S. dollars, these subsidiaries experienced a 14% decline in net sales for the same period with the difference from an increase of 2% to a decrease of 14% being due to the impact of exchange rates.

        We expect overall minor reductions of around 10% in net sales of our electronic device segment in 2010 as compared to 2009, in part due to the impact of the economy, which resulted in lower bookings for our electronic device segment throughout most of 2009 as compared to 2008, but also due to the timing of production requirements for certain long term contracts, which has resulted in expected reductions in shipments during 2010, but which we expect will result in higher shipments in 2011 and beyond.

C-63

Communications Equipment

        The approximately 19% decrease in sales of our communications equipment in 2009 as compared to 2008 is due to an overall decrease in orders and shipments for network access products, especially at our French subsidiary. Net sales at our French subsidiary were down $2.7 million in 2009 compared to 2008 due largely to the impact of the global economic crisis and spending reductions, especially by the French government including the French Defense Ministry. Net sales at our French subsidiary were also slightly impacted by the unfavorable effects of exchange rates in 2009 as compared to 2008 between the U.S. dollar and the euro on the translation of the financial results of our European operations into U.S. dollars. Our French subsidiary experienced a 24% decrease in sales in local currency, the euro, for 2009 compared to 2008. However, when translated into U.S. dollars, our French subsidiary experienced a 29% decline in net sales for the same period with the difference from 24% to 29% being due to the impact of exchange rates. Net sales at our U.S. communications equipment subsidiary remained relatively flat from 2009 as compared to 2008.

        Excluding the impact of Future Asset Sales, we expect net sales in our communications equipment segment to increase slightly in 2010 as compared to 2009.

	Total gross margin from continuing operations		34.3	%		34.8	%

Electronic Devices

        The decrease in gross profit in 2009 of approximately $0.1 million was primarily the result of a decrease in gross profit at our European subsidiaries primarily due to changes in product mix and the impact of exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the British pound sterling. This increase was partially offset by approximately $0.1 million of severance costs incurred in the second quarter of 2009 associated with our cost reduction efforts.

        Overall segment gross margins improved from 31.7% to 33.2%, primarily due to the favorable product mix and the impacts of our cost reduction efforts at our European subsidiaries, which has resulted in lower fixed overhead manufacturing costs.

        During 2010, we expect gross profit and gross margin to decline within our electronic devices segment, primarily due to expected reductions in sales volume as discussed under Net Sales, but also due to expected changes in product mix in 2010 as compared to 2009, including the expectation of more customer development projects in 2010 as compared to 2009, which typically generate lower gross margins.

Communications Equipment

        The decrease in gross profit within our communications equipment segment by $1.6 million is primarily due to the decline in sales and a related decline in gross margin at our French subsidiary, where gross profit declined $1.4 million as compared to the prior year. For primarily the same reasons,

C-64

gross margin within our communications equipment segment declined from 40.5% in 2008 to 36.4% in 2009. Gross profit at our French subsidiary was unfavorably impacted as a result of the changes in foreign currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the euro in 2009 as compared to 2008 as well. Gross profit at our U.S. communication subsidiary decreased slightly in 2009 as compared to 2008, due primarily to changes in product mix.

        The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") is primarily the result of significant decreases in SG&A, primarily at our corporate headquarters, as a result of cost reduction activities, partially offset by $0.4 million in severance related costs associated with our general and administrative cost reduction efforts.

        We expect SG&A expenses to decline significantly due, in part, to lower overall sales (which impacts commissions and other variable selling related expenses), but also largely due to our cost reduction efforts in 2009, which we expect to result in approximately $1 million in annualized savings during 2010 as compared to 2009.

Engineering and Product Development

        The decrease in engineering and product development costs is primarily due to a slight reduction in engineering costs at our European business units as compared to the prior year.

        During 2010, engineering and product development expenses are expected to remain at or slightly below 2009 levels.

Loss on Asset Impairment

        In 2008, we incurred a loss on the impairment of our goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets of $6.6 million, due to a decline in the forecasted financial performance of our communications segment, the estimated fair market value of that segment's intangible assets declined as compared to the carrying value of such assets on our balance sheet. As a result, the 2008 impairment charge reflects the write down of substantially all of the carrying value of the goodwill and other intangible assets for our communications segment.

Interest Expense

        Interest expense was $4.1 million for 2009 compared to $3.2 million for 2008. Included in interest expense in 2009 were $0.5 million in fees paid to our Lender or accrued in connection with modifications to our credit facility and $1.4 million of non-cash amortization of deferred financing costs and non-cash amortization of debt discount, including $0.5 million due to the acceleration of deferred

C-65

financing costs and debt discount amortization associated with the partial repayment of our Term Loan B in the first quarter of 2009, compared to $0.9 million of non-cash amortization in 2008.

        We expect interest expense in 2010 to be significantly lower than 2009 levels as a result of actual and expected overall debt level reductions in 2010 as compared to 2009, in part due to the reduction of acquisition related debt by approximately $10 million in March 2009, but also because we expect to repay all of our existing debt obligation with our current lender by mid-2010. This reduction in debt may be offset by replacement revolver financing on our remaining operations; however, we expect that the fees associated with such debt would be substantially less in amount than current debt levels due to a significantly lower balance and also due to an expected reduction in interest rates since the risk associated with such revolving debt would be much lower than our current credit facility.

Other Income (Expense)

        We recorded other income of $433,000 in 2009 compared to other expense of $734,000 in 2008. Other income (expense) consists primarily of (i) short-term exchange rate gains and losses associated with the volatility of the U.S. dollar to the British pound sterling and euro on the current portion of certain assets and liabilities and (ii) fair value adjustments on warrants. The change in the fair value of warrants during 2009 resulted in income of $718,000, which was not present in 2008. The remaining expense of $285,000 for 2009 was predominantly related to short-term exchange rate losses.

Income tax expense

        Income tax benefit amounted to $0.6 million for 2009 compared to $0.1 million for 2008. The company recorded an income tax benefit as the result of losses incurred in the periods. We recorded income tax expense primarily as a result of foreign income tax on foreign earned profits in Europe.

        The Company has exhausted a significant portion of its net operating losses available to be carried forward into future periods and, as a result, any income from operations and/or gain on sales of assets could result in significant tax obligations in 2010.

Income from Discontinued and Held For Sale Operations

        Income from discontinued and held for sale operations was $5.8 million, net of $1.7 million in taxes, for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $2.8 million, net of $0.4 million in taxes, for the year ended December 31, 2008. In connection with the sale of our Digitran Operations on March 20, 2009, we reported income from discontinued and held for sale operations of $6.3 million (net of $1.3 million in taxes) during 2009, which includes a $7.4 million gain on the sale of our Digitran Operations. In 2008, these operations contributed comparative income of $2.9 million. Additionally, at December 31, 2009, we classified our RO Operations as assets held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations, which resulted in reclassification of a loss of $2.9 million and $0.5 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively, to income from discontinued and held for sale operations. The 2009 loss from RO operations included a write down of $1.8 million in assets comprised of $0.9 million of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets; $0.6 million of long-lived assets and definite lived intangible assets; and $0.3 million of fair value adjustments. Finally, at December 31, 2009, we classified our ACC Operations as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations, which resulted in reclassification of income of $2.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively to income from discontinued and held for sale operations.

C-66

Net Loss

        We reported net income of $1.0 million in 2009 and a net loss of $7.4 million in 2008. Included in the net loss for 2008 was a $6.6 million impairment charge associated with the impairment of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets of our communications equipment reporting unit. Included in net income in 2009 was a $6.9 million (net of $0.5 million in taxes) income/gain on discontinued and held for sale operations associated with the sale of our Digitran Operations and approximately $3.1 million loss related to the operations of RO. Additionally, included in net income for 2009 was $0.5 million in accelerated non-cash amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discount associated with the partial repayment of our Term Loan B in March 2009, $0.5 million of overall employee termination costs associated with the cost reduction efforts at several of our facilities, $0.5 million in fees associated with waivers and amendments of our credit facility with our Lender in 2009 and $0.1 million of expenses incurred in connection with various refinancing efforts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        In making an assessment of our liquidity, we believe that the items in our financial statements that are most relevant to our ongoing operations are working capital, cash generated from operating activities and cash available from financing activities. During 2009, we funded our daily cash flow requirements through funds provided by operations and through borrowings under our credit facility with GVEC Resource IV Inc. ("GVEC" or the "Lender"). Working capital from continuing operations was a negative $3.5 million at December 31, 2009 as compared to a positive $0.7 million at December 31, 2008, primarily due to the reclassification of all of our debt with our primary lender from long term to short term during 2009 and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in accounts receivable of $1.7 million due to improved collections. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, we had accumulated deficits of $26.6 million and $28.1 million, respectively, and cash and cash equivalents of $4.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively. Our cash balances are often significantly higher at the end of the month than at other times throughout the remainder of the month as a result of borrowings under our credit facility generally occurring toward the end of the month and timing of payments to vendors in the form of accounts payable, payroll and interest payments generally occurring at the beginning of the month.

        Net cash used in operating activities during 2009 totaled $0.1 million. Our reported net income of $1.0 million included a gain on the sale of the Digitran Operations of $7.4 million, net of taxes of $0.5 million and a net income from Digitran, RO and ACC Operations of $6.7 million. Significant non-cash adjustments to our net income from continuing operations for 2009 include (i) the amortization of debt discount and amortization of deferred financing costs which, on a combined basis, totaled $1.4 million, both of which are non-cash components of interest expense associated with our credit facility, (ii) depreciation and amortization expense which totaled $1.7 million, and (iii) a change in fair value of common stock warrants which contributed $0.7 million as non-cash component of net income. Significant uses of cash associated with operating activities during 2009 included a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities by approximately $1.0 million, in part due to payments made on previously accrued amounts related to the sale of the Digitran Operations and also due to timing of vendor payments. The primary source of cash associated with operating activities during 2009 was a decrease in accounts receivable, which decreased by approximately $1.7 million, due primarily to increased efforts to collect outstanding balances on a more timely basis.

        Cash generated from our investing activities during 2009 totaled $10.6 million. This amount consisted primarily of net cash proceeds generated by the March 2009 sale of our Digitran Operations, all of which was used to partially repay the $13 million in term debt that we incurred in connection with our purchase of ACC in August 2008.

C-67

        Cash used in financing activities during 2009 totaled $10.4 million, which consisted of $11.2 million in repayments of principal owed on long term debt and notes to stockholders, offset by $1.1 million in net borrowings on our revolving credit facility.

        As of December 31, 2009, we had outstanding borrowings of $5.2 million under the revolving loan portion of our credit facility. At December 31, 2009, we had remaining actual availability under a formula-based calculation of $1.8 million under the credit facility. Actual remaining availability represents the additional amount we were eligible to borrow as of December 31, 2009 pursuant to our $7.0 million revolving line of credit. The availability under our revolving line of credit fluctuates periodically throughout each month depending on timing of borrowings and repayments. At March 31, 2010, our eligible collateral was $7.1 million (compared to the maximum of $7 million) and our outstanding borrowings at that date were $4.1 million. Therefore, our actual availability was $2.9 million.

        In addition to the revolving line of credit, at December 31, 2009, we had debt obligations of $8.6 million, which includes term loans from our Lender, capitalized lease and equipment loan obligations and notes payable to shareholders, the current portion of which loans and obligations totaled $8.5 million.

        Our backlog from continuing operations decreased to $16.9 million as of December 31, 2009 as compared to $20.7 million as of December 31, 2008. The decrease is due to the reduction of backlog at all of our electronic devices business units associated with lower bookings in 2009 and has declined as we satisfied existing contracts during the year. We experienced an increase in backlog at our U.S. communications equipment business unit associated with new orders for telecommunications test equipment. The amount of backlog orders represents revenue that we anticipate recognizing in the future, as evidenced by purchase orders and other purchase commitments received from customers, but on which work has not yet been initiated or with respect to which work is currently in progress. Our backlog as of December 31, 2009 was approximately 91% related to our electronic devices business, which business tends to provide us with long lead-times for our manufacturing processes due to the custom nature of the products, and approximately 9% related to our communications equipment business, which business tends to deliver standard or modified standard products from stock as orders are received. We believe that the majority of our current backlog will be shipped within the next 12 months. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in fulfilling such orders and commitments in a timely manner or that we will ultimately recognize as revenue the amounts reflected as backlog.

Credit Facility

        EMRISE (including each of its direct subsidiaries), are parties to a Credit Agreement, as amended, with the Lender, providing for a credit facility in the aggregate amount of $26 million. As of December 31, 2009, we owed a total of $13.4 million under the terms of the credit facility.

        On January 25, 2010, EMRISE and its Lender entered into Amendment Number 8 to Loan Documents, which amends EMRISE's Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2009. All references to the Credit Facility herein refer to the Credit Agreement as amended. The Credit Facility requires the sale of a significant portion of our assets by June 30, 2010 (the "Maturity Date"). As discussed further in Note 22 "Subsequent Events" in our December 31, 2009 financial statements, these assets contributed approximately $20 million or 37% of the Company's net sales from continuing operations and operating income of approximately $3 million of the Company's total operating income from continuing operations of $1.4 million for 2009. The Company is required to achieve certain milestones in connection with these sale activities and the maintenance of maximum capital expenditure financial covenants. Lender has the current right to appoint an outside observer to review our books and records and business operations, with certain limitations designed to minimize disruption to our business

C-68

operations. Upon the sale of the assets we agreed to sell, we will retain a percentage of the proceeds of some of such sales for working capital and are obligated to use the remaining proceeds to pay down the obligations owed to the Lender. We are also obligated to provide financial information and status reports to the Lender on a regular basis. The practical effect of the January 25^th amendment was to provide a forbearance by the Lender through the Maturity Date on the equity raise default and the possible financial covenant defaults that was and may have been otherwise triggered under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2009 and allow us time to sell certain assets in order to pay down the obligations to the Lender.

        On April 13, 2010, the Borrowers and the Lender entered into Amendment Number 9 to Loan Documents, which removes the obligation to sell certain assets while retaining the obligation to sell other assets, and provides some clarity that the Lender will not charge fees for making adjustments to the milestones required to be met before the maturity date, provided certain conditions are satisfied.

        The credit facility currently consists of (i) a revolving loan for up to $7 million that expires on June 30, 2010 (the "Revolver"), and (ii) two term loans (Term Loan A and Term Loan B) with an aggregate net outstanding principal amount of $4.1 million as of March 31, 2010. The term loans require remaining combined scheduled principal payments of $75,000 bi-weekly, which began on February 1, 2010 and continue through maturity. The facility also requires monthly interest payments and a final balloon payment of principal upon maturity on June 30, 2010 of approximately $7.4 million in term debt plus the outstanding balance of the revolver, which at December 31, 2009 was $5.2 million.

        The Revolver is formula-based and generally provides that the outstanding borrowings under the line of credit may not exceed an aggregate of 85% of eligible accounts receivable, plus 10% of the value of eligible raw materials not to exceed $600,000, plus 50% of the value of eligible finished goods inventory not to exceed $1,500,000, minus the aggregate amount of reserves that may be established by the Lender.

        Interest on the Revolver is payable monthly. The interest rate is variable and is adjusted monthly based on the prime rate as published in the "Money Rates" column of The Wall Street Journal (the "Base Rate") plus 1.25%, subject to a minimum rate of 9.5% per annum. The Revolver contains a capital expenditures covenant, prohibiting any such expenditures (a) in excess of $600,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, and (b) in excess of $1,800,000 through June 30, 2010. Additionally, the Revolver prohibits us from incurring unfinanced capital expenditures in excess of $62,500 in any fiscal quarter and from incurring purchase money commitments in excess of $2 million over the life of the facility. However, if we incur unfinanced capital expenditures of less than $62,500 in any fiscal quarter, the difference between the amount incurred in a certain fiscal quarter and $62,500 maybe incurred in the two fiscal quarters immediately following such fiscal quarter. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2009.

        The term loans bear interest at the Base Rate plus 4.25%, subject to a minimum rate of 12.5% per annum. Under the credit facility, we may make full or partial prepayment of the term loans provided that any such prepayment is accompanied by the applicable prepayment premium discussed below.

        To secure payment of the indebtedness under the credit facility, we irrevocably pledged and assigned to, and granted to the Lender a continuing security interest in all the personal property of the Company and its direct subsidiaries including our interest in any deposit accounts, the stock of each of our direct and indirect subsidiaries, the intellectual property owned by each of the Company and its direct subsidiaries, and the proceeds of the intellectual property owned by each of these entities. In an event of default, the Lender may, at its option, exercise any or all remedies available to it with respect to the collateral. In addition, certain of our foreign subsidiaries have agreed to guarantee our performance under the credit facility.

C-69

        There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully sell the contemplated assets that we are obligated to sell, pursuant to the credit facility, in the agreed time frames, achieve the related milestones on a timely basis, and/or sell the assets at prices sufficient to satisfy the debt owed to Lender, if at all. Even if we do successfully sell the contemplated assets and pay the obligations owed to the Lender in full, our ongoing revenues will be substantially reduced which could have a material adverse affect on our operations and financial condition.

        If an event of default were to occur, including the failure to achieve any of the milestones related to asset sales required by the Credit Facility, the Lender could accelerate the debt and exercise its rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement. An acceleration of the principal, deferred fees and accrued interest due on the date of a declared event of default would be a significant amount that would be due on such date. If such an acceleration were declared, we do not have the ability to pay this amount from currently available sources at this time. The rights and remedies available to the Lender under the Credit Agreement in the event of a declared event of default include a foreclosure on our assets before the contemplated asset sales could be completed. The lender may also elect to increase the interest rate applicable to the outstanding balance of the Term Loans A and B by four percentage points above the per annum interest rate that would otherwise be applicable. Additionally, if the lender terminates the credit facility during a default period then we are subject to a penalty equal to 2% of the outstanding principal balance of the Revolver and the Term Loans.

Liquidity

        Our current business plan requires additional funding beyond our anticipated cash flows from operations. These and other factors described in more detail below raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In its Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, our principal accountants, BDO USA, LLP, has also stated that the Company requires additional funding to achieve profitable operations and repay its current debt obligations beyond its anticipated cash flows from operations, which raises a substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to (i) sell the assets as required in the Credit Facility, (ii) repay our credit facility on or prior to its maturity on June 30, 2010, (iii) obtain alternate revolver financing to fund operations after June 30, 2010 and (iv) achieve profitable operations.

        If our net losses continue, we may experience negative cash flow, which may prevent us from continuing operations. If we are not able to attain, sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis, we may not be able to continue operations and our stock price may decline.

        If we (i) default under the Credit Facility for any reason, including missing a milestone, (ii) are unable to timely sell assets at sufficient prices, (iii) cannot borrow funds under the terms of the Revolver, for any reason, through June 30, 2010, or (iv) fail to obtain alternate financing to replace our credit facility prior to June 30, 2010 or a new revolving facility once the current credit facility is paid in full, we do not believe that current and future capital resources, revenues generated from operations and other existing sources of liquidity will be adequate to meet our anticipated short term, working capital and capital expenditures needs for the next 12 months. Further, if any of these occur for any reason, or if we experience a significant loss of revenue or increase in costs, then our cash flow would be negatively impacted resulting in a cash flow deficit. A cash flow deficit will require us to seek additional or alternate financing, with little or no notice which would be difficult to obtain in these economic conditions and our anticipated financial condition in such circumstances. To address these potential financing needs, we may have to explore revised debt structure with our current lender, seek additional or new financing with another lender or lenders, sell additional assets to generate cash, sell equity to raise capital. Successfully executing these strategies is uncertain and there are many risks associated with attempting to execute each, in addition to the risks and uncertainties of the short and long term impact of executing on any of these strategies. Failure to meet our financing requirements, if

C-70

and when needed, would have an adverse effect on our operations and/or ability to do business after that date or could restrict our growth, limit the development of new products, hinder our ability to fulfill existing or future orders or negatively affect our ability to secure new customers or product orders.

        If we are unsuccessful in securing the necessary financing to continue operations, when needed, then we may be forced to seek protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or be forced into liquidation or substantially restructuring or altering our business operations and/or debt obligations.

Effects of Inflation

        The impact of inflation and changing prices has not been significant on the financial condition or results of operations of either our company or our operating subsidiaries.

Impacts of New Accounting Pronouncements

        FASB Accounting Standards Codification.™    On September 30, 2009, we adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") to the authoritative hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). These changes establish the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ ("Codification") as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates. Accounting Standards Updates will not be authoritative in their own right as they will only serve to update the Codification. These changes and the Codification itself do not change GAAP. Other than the manner in which new accounting guidance is referenced, the adoption of these changes had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

        Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure.    In January 2009, we adopted changes issued by the FASB to fair value accounting and reporting as it relates to non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on at least an annual basis. These changes define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expend disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance applies to other GAAP that require or permit fair value measurements and is to be applied prospectively with limited exceptions. The adoption of these changes, as it relates to non-financial assets and liabilities, had no impact on our financial statements.

        In August 2009, the FASB issued an update to the fair value measurement guidance to clarify how an entity should measure liabilities at fair value. The update reaffirms fair value is based on an orderly transaction between market participants, even though liabilities are infrequently transferred due to contractual or other legal restrictions. However, identical liabilities traded in the active market should be used when available. When quoted prices are not available, the quoted price of the identical liability traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities traded as an asset, or another valuation approach should be used. This update also clarifies that restrictions preventing the transfer of a liability should not be considered as a separate input or adjustment in the measurement of fair value. The adoption of this update for fair value measurements of liabilities had no impact on our financial statements.

        Business Combinations.    On January 1, 2009, we adopted an update to existing accounting standards for business combinations. The update, which retains the underlying concepts of the original standard in that all business combinations are still required to be accounted for at fair value under the acquisition method of accounting, changes the method of applying the acquisition method. Acquisition costs are no longer considered part of the fair value of an acquisition and will generally be expensed as

C-71

incurred, non-controlling interests are valued at fair value at the acquisition date, in-process research and development is recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date, restructuring costs associated with a business combination are generally expensed subsequent to the acquisition date, and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense.

        In April 2009, the FASB issued a further update in relation to accounting for assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies, which amends the previous guidance to require contingent assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination to be recognized at fair value on the acquisition date if fair value can be reasonably estimated during the measurement period. If fair value cannot be reasonably estimated during the measurement period, the contingent asset or liability would be recognized in accordance with standards and guidance on accounting for contingencies and reasonable estimation of the amount of a loss. Further, this update eliminated the specific subsequent accounting guidance for contingent assets and liabilities without significantly revising the original guidance. However, contingent consideration arrangements of an acquiree assumed by the acquirer in a business combination would still be initially and subsequently measured at fair value. These updates are applicable prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. The adoption of these provisions will have an impact on accounting for any business acquired after January 1, 2009.

        Derivatives and Hedging.    On January 1, 2009, we adopted changes issued by the FASB to disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities. These changes require enhanced disclosures about an entity's derivative and hedging activities, including (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance and cash flows. Other than the required disclosures, the adoption of these changes had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

        On January 1, 2009, we adopted an update issued by the FASB to the accounting for instruments (or embedded features) indexed to an entity's own stock. These changes clarify the determination of whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity's own stock, which would qualify as a scope exception under previously issued guidance. The adoption of these changes resulted in the reclassification of certain of our outstanding warrants from stockholders' equity to liabilities, which requires the warrants to be fair valued at each reporting period, with the changes in fair value recognized in our consolidated statement of operations.

        Intangibles—Goodwill and Other.    On January 1, 2009, we adopted changes issued by the FASB to account for intangible assets. These changes amend the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset in order to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset outside of a business combination and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of an intangible asset in a business combination. The adoption of these changes did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

        Financial Instruments.    On June 30, 2009, we adopted an update to accounting standards for disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments, which requires publicly-traded companies to provide disclosures on the fair value of financial instruments in the interim financial statements. Other than the required disclosures, the adoption of this update had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

        Subsequent Events.    On June 30, 2009, we adopted changes issued by the FASB to accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued, otherwise known as "subsequent events." Specifically, these

C-72

changes set forth (1) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements: (2) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financials statements; and (3) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The adoption of these changes did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

        Revenue Recognition.    In October 2009, the FASB issued an update to existing guidance on revenue recognition for arrangements with multiple deliverables. This update will allow companies to allocate consideration received for qualified separate deliverables using estimated selling prices for both delivered and undelivered items when vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence is unavailable. Additional disclosures discussing the nature of multiple element arrangements, the types of deliverables under the arrangements, the general timing of their deliver, and significant factors and estimates used to determine estimated selling prices are required. We will adopt this update for new revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified beginning January 1, 2011. We are still evaluating the impact, if any, this update may have on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Business

        EMRISE Corporation (the "Company") designs, manufactures and markets proprietary electronic devices and communications equipment for aerospace, defense, industrial, and communications applications. The Company has operations in the United States ("U.S."), England and France. The Company conducts its business through two operating segments: electronic devices and communications equipment. The subsidiaries within the electronic devices segment design, develop, manufacture and market electronic devices for defense, aerospace and industrial markets and operate out of facilities located in the U.S. and England. The subsidiaries within the communications equipment segment design, develop, manufacture and market network access equipment, including network timing and synchronization products and operate out of facilities located in the U.S. and France.

Basis of Presentation

        The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"). The year end balance sheet was derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do, however, reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to state fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2010 and the results of operations and cash flows for the related interim periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. However, these results are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for the year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements included in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 as filed with the Commission.

        In March of 2009, the Company sold substantially all the assets related to the Digitran division of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, EMRISE Electronics Corporation's ("EEC"), and all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of EEC's wholly-owned subsidiary, XCEL Japan, Ltd. (collectively the "Digitran Operations"). The accompanying financial statements include the Digitran Operations as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.

        In January of 2010, the Company entered into Amendment Number 8 to Loan Documents ("Amendment 8"). In connection with Amendment 8 and the associated Amendments Number 9 and 10, entered into in April and May, 2010, respectively, the Company is required to sell a significant portion of its assets in order to repay the debt obligations owed to Lender. The Company has identified certain assets it intends to market for sale. The assets identified represent a substantial portion of the Company's assets in primarily the electronic devices segment. The accompanying financial statements include the identified assets as discontinued operations and assets held for sale for all periods presented.

        On March 22, 2010, EMRISE completed the sale of substantially all the assets of EEC's subsidiary, RO Associates, to Massachusetts based Astrodyne Corporation. In this Quarterly Report on

Form 10-Q, we refer to the businesses of RO Associates as the "RO Operations" or "RO," and we refer to the sale of the RO Associates' assets as the "RO Transaction." The accompanying financial statements include the RO Operations as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

        Comprehensive income (loss) includes all changes in equity during a period except those that resulted from investments by or distributions to the Company's stockholders. Other comprehensive income refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that, under GAAP, are included in comprehensive income, but excluded from net loss as these amounts are recorded directly as an adjustment to stockholders' equity. The Company's other comprehensive income consists of foreign currency translation adjustments. The following table reflects the components of comprehensive income (loss) (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2010			2009
				(Restated)
Net (loss) income	$	(952	)	$	4,837
Other comprehensive loss:
Foreign currency translation adjustment		(999	)		(418	)
Comprehensive (loss) income	$	(1,951	)	$	4,419

Revenue Recognition

        The Company derives revenues from sales of electronic devices and communications equipment products and services. The Company's sales are based upon written agreements or purchase orders that identify the type and quantity of the item and/or services being purchased and the purchase price. The Company recognizes revenues when shipment of products has occurred or services have been rendered, no significant obligations remain on the part of the Company, and collectability is reasonably assured based on the Company's credit and collections practices and policies.

        The Company recognizes revenues from its U.S. communications equipment business unit at the point of shipment of those products. An estimate of warranty cost is recorded at the time the revenue is recognized. Product returns are infrequent and require prior authorization because sales are final and the Company tests its products for quality prior to shipment to ensure products meet the specifications of the binding purchase orders under which those products are shipped. Normally, when a customer requests and receives authorization to return a product, the request is accompanied by a purchase order for a repair or for a replacement product.

        Revenue recognition for products and services provided by the Company's subsidiaries in England and its U.S. subsidiary, Advanced Control Components ("ACC"), depends upon the type of contract involved. Engineering/design services contracts generally entail design and production of a prototype over a term of up to several years, with revenue deferred until each milestone defined in the contract is reached. Production contracts provide for a specific quantity of products to be produced over a specific

period of time. Customers issue binding purchase orders or enter into binding agreements for the products to be produced. The Company recognizes revenues on these orders as the products are shipped. Returns are infrequent and permitted only with prior authorization because these products are custom made to order based on binding purchase orders and are quality tested prior to shipment. An estimate of warranty cost is recorded at the time revenue is recognized.

        The Company recognizes revenues for products sold by its subsidiary in France at the point of shipment. Customer discounts are included in the product price list provided to the customer. Returns are infrequent and permitted only with prior authorization because these products are shipped based on binding purchase orders and are quality tested prior to shipment. An estimate of warranty cost is recorded at the time revenue is recognized.

        Revenues from services such as repairs and modifications are recognized when the service is completed and invoiced. For repairs that involve shipment of a repaired product, the Company recognizes repair revenues when the product is shipped back to the customer. Service revenues contribute less than 5% of total revenue and, therefore, are considered to be immaterial to overall financial results.

Loss Per Share from Continuing Operations

        Basic loss per share from continuing operations is computed by dividing net loss from continuing operations by the weighted average common shares outstanding during a period. Diluted loss per share from continuing operations is based on the treasury stock method and includes the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants outstanding during the period. Common share equivalents have been excluded where their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As a result of the losses from continuing operations incurred by the Company for the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, the potentially dilutive common shares have been excluded from the loss per share computation because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. The following table illustrates the computation of basic and diluted loss per share from continuing operations (in thousands, except per share amounts):

        The following table shows the common stock equivalents that were outstanding as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options' or warrants' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, the effect would have been anti-dilutive:

		Number of Shares		Range of Exercise Price Per Share
Anti-dilutive common stock options:
	As of March 31, 2010		683,425	$	1.31 - $7.50

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted

None.

Issued, but not adopted

        Revenue Recognition.    In October 2009, the FASB issued an update to existing guidance on revenue recognition for arrangements with multiple deliverables. This update will allow companies to allocate consideration received for qualified separate deliverables using estimated selling prices for both delivered and undelivered items when vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence is unavailable. Additional disclosures discussing the nature of multiple element arrangements, the types of deliverables under the arrangements, the general timing of their delivery, and significant factors and estimates used to determine estimated selling prices are required. The Company will adopt this update for new revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified beginning January 1, 2011. The Company is still evaluating the impact, if any, of the adoption of this new revenue recognition guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2—GOING CONCERN

        The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which contemplate the continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company reported a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2010 of $1.0 million. Included in net loss was a $0.5 million loss from discontinued operations related to the disposition of the Company's RO Operations (see Note 3). Absent this loss, the Company still would have incurred a $0.5 million net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Primarily as a result of the reclassification of the majority of its debt from long to short term during 2009, the Company also reported negative working capital from continuing operations of $4.0 million at March 31, 2010 and negative working capital from continuing operations of $3.5 million at December 31, 2009. The Company's current business plan for the next 12 months requires additional funding beyond its anticipated cash flows from operations.

EMRISE CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Unaudited)

NOTE 2—GOING CONCERN (Continued)

These and other factors described in more detail below raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

        The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to (i) achieve the milestones related to sale of a significant portion of its assets as required by the Credit Agreement between now and June 30, 2010, (ii) repay the credit facility in full on or prior to its maturity on June 30, 2010, (iii) obtain alternate financing to fund operations after the credit facility is paid in full and (iv) achieve profitable operations.

        The Company is working on an amendment to extend certain of the milestones to have been achieved the week of this filing with an indication from the lender such extension will be acceptable. The Company expects to sign a formal amendment this week, but there can be no guarantees that such amendment will be successfully or timely completed.

        If the Company's net losses continue, it may experience negative cash flow, which may prevent the Company from continuing operations. If the Company is not able to attain, sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis, it may not be able to continue operations.

        Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, the lender may also elect to increase the interest rate applicable to the outstanding balance of the Term Loans A and B by four percentage points above the per annum interest rate that would otherwise be applicable. Additionally, if the lender terminates the credit facility during a default period then the Company is subject to a penalty equal to 2% of the outstanding principal balance of the Revolver and the Term Loans.

        If the Company (i) defaults under the Credit Facility for any reason, including failing to successfully amend the Credit Agreement to extend sale related milestones or missing a milestone, (ii) is unable to timely sell assets at sufficient prices to repay its obligations in full, (iii) cannot borrow funds under the terms of the Revolver, for any reason, or (iv) fails to obtain alternate financing to replace its credit facility or a new revolving facility once the current credit facility is paid in full, then the Company does not believe that current and future capital resources, revenues generated from operations and other existing sources of liquidity will be adequate to meet its anticipated short term, working capital and capital expenditure needs for the next 12 months. Further, if any of these occur for any reason, or if the Company experiences a significant loss of revenue or increase in costs, then its cash flow would be negatively impacted resulting in a cash flow deficit. A cash flow deficit will require the Company to seek additional or alternate financing, with little or no notice which would be difficult to obtain in these economic conditions and the Company's anticipated financial condition in such circumstances. To address these potential financing needs the Company may have to explore a revised debt structure with its current lender; additional or new financing with another lender or lenders; expedite the sale of assets to generate cash; or expedite the sale of equity to raise capital. Successfully executing these strategies is uncertain and there are many risks associated with attempting to execute each, in addition to the risks and uncertainties of the short and long term impact of executing on any of these strategies. Failure to meet the Company's financing requirements, if and when needed, would have an adverse effect on the Company's operations and/or ability to do business after that date or could restrict its growth, limit the development of new products, hinder its ability to fulfill existing or future orders or negatively affect its ability to secure new customers or product orders.

NOTE 2—GOING CONCERN (Continued)

        If the Company is unsuccessful in securing the necessary financing to continue operations, when needed, then it may be forced to seek protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or be forced into liquidation or substantially restructuring or altering its business operations and/or debt obligations.

NOTE 3—DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

RO Associates

        On March 22, 2010, EEC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into and consummated the closing under an asset purchase agreement by and among Astrodyne Corporation ("Astrodyne"), RO, and EEC dated March 22, 2010 (the "Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which Astrodyne purchased substantially all of the assets, properties, and business as a going concern of RO. The assets of RO that were sold and transferred to Astrodyne include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) machinery and equipment; (ii) raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods relating to RO; (iii) tangible personal property, such as office furniture and equipment; (iv) advance payments, rental deposits, and other similar assets; (v) rights to payments from customers; (vi) books and records; (vii) rights under certain contracts; (viii) intangible rights and property, such as goodwill and rights in and to the name "RO Associates," product names, trade names, trademarks, fictitious names and service marks; (ix) information and data; (x) unfilled purchase and sale orders; (xi) governmental authorizations relating to RO's business and pending applications in connection with such authorizations; (xii) RO's rights to its business of manufacturing and selling standard, high-density AC to DC, and DC to DC converters (the "Business"); and (xiii) all claims, causes of action, and judgments relating to the Business. Such sale and transfer was deemed to be a disposition of an insignificant amount of assets by the Company and EEC. RO retained certain rights, as fully described in the Purchase Agreement, including certain records, rights to benefits plans and insurance policies and proceeds, and certain assets.

        As part of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, Astrodyne assumed certain specified liabilities of RO pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement by and between Astrodyne and RO (the "Assignment and Assumption Agreement"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, EEC also agreed to guarantee the full, complete, and timely compliance with and performance of all agreements, covenants and obligations of RO in connection with the RO Transaction.

        Astrodyne paid RO an aggregate purchase price for the RO Transaction of $1,000,000, plus the assumption of certain assumed liabilities pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, subject to a purchase price adjustment. As additional consideration for Astrodyne's entry into the Purchase Agreement and consummation of the contemplated transactions under such agreement, EEC and RO agreed that, for a certain period immediately following the closing date, they would not compete with the Business, perform services for any person in competition with the Business or solicit certain specified customers of the Business, or hire any employees of Astrodyne or its affiliates.

        In connection with the Company's divestiture of RO, which comprised a portion of the Company's electronic devices segment, the Company incurred approximately $0.4 million in charges relating to legal, accounting and investment banking fees. The Company does not expect to incur any additional costs associated with this transaction. The Company incurred a loss on the sale of the RO assets of approximately $0.5 million.

Assets Held for Sale

        In connection with Amendment 8 and the associated Amendments Number 9 and 10, entered into in April, 2010 and May, 2010, respectively, as discussed above, the Company is required to sell a significant portion of its assets in order to repay the debt obligations owed to Lender. The Company has identified multiple assets it intends to market for sale. The assets identified as held for sale represent a substantial portion of the Company's assets in primarily the electronic devices segment. These assets contributed approximately $20 million of net sales or 37% of the Company's net sales and

NOTE 6—OPERATING SEGMENTS

        The Company has two reportable operating segments: electronic devices and communications equipment. The electronic devices segment manufactures and markets electronic power supplies, RF and microwave devices and subsystem assemblies. The electronic devices segment consists of the Company's three electronic device subsidiaries, one located in the U.S. and two located in England, all of which offer the same or similar products to the same or similar customers. The communications equipment segment designs, manufactures and distributes network access products and timing and synchronization products. The communications equipment segment consists of operating entities CXR Larus Corporation located in the U.S. and CXR Anderson Jacobson located in France, both of which offer the same or similar products to similar customers. Both segments operate primarily in the U.S. and European markets, but they have distinctly different customers, design and manufacturing processes and marketing strategies. Each segment has discrete financial information and a separate management structure.

        The Company evaluates performance based upon contribution margin of the segments and also upon profit or loss from operations before income taxes exclusive of nonrecurring gains and losses. The Company accounts for intersegment sales at pre-determined prices negotiated between the individual segments.

        During the first quarter of 2010, the Company sold its RO Operations (see Note 3), which were part of its electronic devices segment. This transaction resulted in differences in the basis of segmentation from the amounts disclosed in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The RO Operations were included as discontinued and held for sale operations at December 31, 2009. Additionally, at March 31, 2010, the Company had classified certain additional assets within its electronic devices segment as assets held for sale in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In this report, the RO Operations and the certain identified assets held for sale are reported as discontinued and held for sale operations and are excluded from the electronics devices segment. Therefore, prior period amounts have been adjusted to conform to this presentation.

NOTE 8—INCOME TAXES

        The effective tax rate for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 was different than the 34% U.S. statutory rate primarily because the Company's foreign entities generate a tax obligation and related tax expense as a result of their net income, which cannot be offset by U.S. tax loss carryforwards.

        The Company's business is subject to regulation under a wide variety of U.S. federal, state and foreign tax laws, regulations and policies. The majority of the Company's foreign subsidiaries have earnings and profits that are reinvested indefinitely. However, under the credit facility described in Notes 9 and 10, the foreign subsidiaries have issued guarantees on the credit facility and, as a result, under IRC §956, have been deemed to have distributed these earnings to fund U.S. operations. This has resulted in U.S. federal taxable income and an increase in U.S. tax liability, which has been reduced through utilization of available net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits.

        The Company adopted FASB guidance for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes on January 1, 2007. The implementation of this guidance did not result in a material adjustment to the Company's liability for unrecognized income tax benefits. At the time of adoption and as of December 31, 2009, the Company had recorded no net unrecognized tax benefits. The Company currently has no open matters with tax authorities nor is it engaged in an examination by any tax authority. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in interest expense and selling, general and administrative expense, respectively, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. No interest or penalties were recognized during the first quarter of 2010. As of March 31, 2010, the Company had nothing accrued for interest and penalties.

        The Company files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction, the United Kingdom and France, and in the state jurisdictions of California, Texas, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Company is no longer subject to United States federal and state tax examinations for years before 2006 and 2005, respectively, and is no longer subject to tax examinations for the United Kingdom and Japan for years prior to 2008, and for France for years prior to 2006.

NOTE 9—LINE OF CREDIT

        The Company and certain of its subsidiaries, including EEC and CXR Larus Corporation, CCI, ACC and EMRISE Power Systems, Incorporated (collectively, the "Borrowers"), are parties to a Credit

D-18

(Unaudited)

NOTE 9—LINE OF CREDIT (Continued)

Agreement (as amended from time to time, the "Credit Agreement") with GVEC Resource IV Inc. (the "Lender") providing for a credit facility which includes term loans and a revolving credit facility and is secured by accounts receivable, other rights to payment and general intangibles, inventories and equipment. The credit facility includes a revolving credit facility for up to $7,000,000 that expires on June 30, 2010 (the "Revolver").

        The Revolver is formula-based and generally provides that the outstanding borrowings under the line of credit may not exceed an aggregate of 85% of eligible accounts receivable, plus 10% of the value of eligible raw materials not to exceed $600,000, plus 50% of the value of eligible finished goods inventory not to exceed $1,500,000, minus the aggregate amount of reserves that may be established by the Lender.

        Interest on the Revolver is payable monthly. The interest rate is variable and is adjusted monthly based on the prime rate as published in the "Money Rates" column of The Wall Street Journal (the "Base Rate") plus 1.25%, subject to a minimum rate of 9.5% per annum. The interest rate in effect as of December 31, 2009 was the minimum rate of 9.5%. The Revolver is subject to the Borrowers not incurring capital expenditures in excess of $1,800,000 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010. Additionally, the Revolver is subject to the Borrowers not incurring unfinanced capital expenditures in excess of $62,500 in any fiscal quarter and the Borrowers not incurring purchase money commitments in excess of $2 million over the life of the facility. However, if the Borrowers incur unfinanced capital expenditures of less than $62,500 in any fiscal quarter, the difference between the amount incurred in a certain fiscal quarter and $62,500 maybe incurred in the two fiscal quarters immediately following such fiscal quarter. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at March 31, 2010.

        As of March 31, 2010, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $3.7 million under the Revolver with remaining availability under the formula-based calculation of $3.3 million.

        In connection with entering into the Credit Agreement, the Borrowers issued a Revolver Loan Note dated November 30, 2007 (the "Revolver Note") to the Lender in the principal amount of $7,000,000. The Revolver Note is governed by the terms of the Credit Agreement.

        See related Note 2 "Going Concern" and Note 10 "Debt" regarding additional terms and conditions associated with the overall credit facility and risks associated with this credit facility.

NOTE 10—DEBT

        The credit facility, as described in Note 9, consists of (i) the Revolver (see Note 10—"Lines of Credit"), (ii) a term loan in the original principal amount of $6 million, of which $5.4 million was outstanding as of March 31, 2010 and is due June 30, 2010 ("Term Loan A"), (iii) a term loan in the original principal amount of $10 million, of which $2.5 million was outstanding as of December 31, 2009 and is due on June 30, 2010 ("Term Loan B"), and (iv) Term Loan C, which originally provided for a principal amount of $3 million and has since been retired. Term Loan A was fully funded on November 30, 2007 while Term Loans B and C were fully funded on August 20, 2008 in connection with the acquisition of ACC. $6.8 million of Term Loan B and all of Term Loan C was repaid in March 2009, in connection with the sale of the Company's Digitran Operations. Term Loan A and Term Loan B require an aggregate scheduled principal payment of $75,000 bi-weekly beginning on February 1, 2010

D-19

EMRISE CORPORATION

NOTE 10—DEBT (Continued)

through the maturity date of June 30, 2010. The facility also requires monthly interest payments and a final balloon payment of $7.4 million upon maturity on June 30, 2010.

        The Term Loans A and B bear interest at the Base Rate plus 4.25%, subject to a minimum rate of 12.5% per annum, and required interest only payments in the first year, scheduled principal plus interest payments in years two and three, and a final balloon payment at June 30, 2010. Interest on the Term Loans is payable monthly.

        As part of the consideration for entering into the Credit Agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase 788,000 shares of the Company's common stock with a fair value of $1.5 million, which is accounted for as a discount to the Credit Facility and is amortized over the term of the Credit Agreement. See Note 11.

        Upon the sale or disposition by the Borrowers or any of their subsidiaries of property or assets, the Borrowers may be obligated to prepay the Revolver and the term loans with the net cash proceeds received in connection with such sales or dispositions to the extent that the aggregate amount of net cash proceeds received, and not paid to the Lender as a prepayment, for all such sales or dispositions exceed $150,000 in any fiscal year. However, in order to repay its obligations, the Borrowers agreed to sell a significant portion of its assets in 2010. As discussed further in Note 3, these assets contributed approximately $20 million of net sales or 37% of the Company's net sales and operating income of approximately $3 million of the Company's total operating income from continuing operations of $1.4 million for 2009. The Company will retain a percentage of the proceeds of some of such sales for working capital and pursuant to the agreement, will use the remaining proceeds to pay down the obligations owed to the Lender.

        If the Lender terminates the credit facility during a default period, then the Company is subject to a penalty equal to 2% of the outstanding principal balance of the Revolver and the Term Loans. The Revolver is subject to an unused line fee of 0.5% per annum, payable monthly, on any unused portion of the revolving credit facility.

        In the event of a default and continuation of a default, the Lender may accelerate the payment of the principal balance requiring the Company to pay the entire indebtedness outstanding on that date. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, the Lender may also elect to increase the interest rate applicable to the outstanding balance by four percentage points above the per annum interest rate that would otherwise be applicable.

        Pursuant to a January 2010 amendment to the Credit Facility, the Borrowers have agreed with the Lender that it has the right to appoint an outside observer to review the Borrower's books and records and business operations, with certain limitations designed to minimize disruption to the business operations of the Borrowers. In addition, pursuant to that amendment, certain fees (including a $200,000 advisory fee arising in connection with that amendment, which is recorded in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet) and certain expenses owed by the Borrowers have been deferred until the Maturity Date. In connection with a recent amendment, and the associated Amendments Number 9 and 10, entered into in April, 2010 and May, 2010, respectively, the Borrowers agreed to sell a significant portion of its assets by June 30, 2010 and committed to certain milestone events associated with the sales process. Failure to achieve these milestones and/or failure to sell the required assets by the agreed upon dates, can result in a default under the Credit Agreement.

NOTE 10—DEBT (Continued)

The Borrowers are also obligated to provide financial information and status reports to the Lender on a regular basis.

        The Company is working on an amendment to extend certain of the milestones to have been achieved the week of this filing with an indication from the lender such extension will be acceptable. The Company expects to sign a formal amendment this week, but there can be no guarantees that such amendment will be successfully or timely completed.

        See Note 2 and Note 9 regarding additional terms and conditions associated with the Company's credit facility and risks associated with this credit facility.

NOTE 11—WARRANTS

        In connection with entering into the credit facility (discussed in Note 11), the Company issued a seven year warrant to Private Equity Management Group, Inc. ("PEM Group"), an affiliate of the Lender, to purchase up to 775,758 shares of the Company's common stock on a cash or cashless basis at an original exercise price of $4.13 per share, (which amount reflects the Company's 1-for-3.75 reverse split of its common stock effective November 18, 2008). The estimated fair value of the warrants was $1.5 million, which was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The warrants were originally accounted for as debt discount and the adjustment resulting from the repricing of the warrants increased the debt discount, which is being amortized over the remaining life of the credit facility. The warrants were previously recorded in stockholder's equity.

        In February 2009, the warrants were amended and reissued in conjunction with an amendment to the credit facility. Pursuant to the Second Amendment to Loan Documents, the original warrant was divided into two warrants (each, a "Second Amended and Restated Warrant" and collectively, the "Second Amended and Restated Warrants"). Each Second Amended and Restated Warrant covers 387,879 shares of the Company's common stock (which amount reflects the Company's 1-for-3.75 reverse split of its common stock effective November 18, 2008). One of the Second Amended and Restated Warrants provides for an exercise price of $1.99 per share (which amount reflects the Company's 1-for-3.75 reverse split of its common stock effective November 18, 2008). The other Second Amended and Restated Warrant provides for an exercise price of $1.80 per share (which amount reflects the Company's 1-for-3.75 reverse split of its common stock effective November 18, 2008 and a reduction from a post-split exercise price of $3.06 per share).

        The exercise price and/or number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including certain issuances of securities at a price equal to less than the then current exercise price, subdivisions and stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers or sales of properties and assets and upon issuance of certain assets or securities to holders of the Company's common stock, as applicable. On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB updates which affected how instruments indexed to an entity's own stock are accounted for. The adoption of the revised FASB guidance resulted in the reclassification of the PEM Group warrants from stockholders' equity to liabilities, and now requires that the warrants to be fair valued pursuant to "mark to market" provisions at each reporting period, with the changes in fair value recognized in the Company's consolidated statement of operations.

NOTE 11—WARRANTS (Continued)

        At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had warrants subject to "mark to market" provisions outstanding to purchase 775,758 shares of common stock. The Company computed the fair value of the warrants using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The fair value of these warrants on the date of adoption of March 31, 2010 and on December 31, 2009 was determined using the following assumptions:

	March 31, 2010			December 31, 2009
Dividend yield		None			None
Expected volatility		78	%		71	%
Risk-free interest rate		1.02	%		1.14	%
Expected term		7 years			7 years
Stock price	$	1.05		$	0.76

        As of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the change in fair value of the warrants resulted in a $208,000 adjustment to other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and a corresponding increase to the warrant liability.

NOTE 12—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

        FASB guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants and also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between three levels of inputs that may be utilized when measuring fair value as follows:

        Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.

        Level 2—Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

        Level 3—Inputs that are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

        As of January 1, 2009 the Company was required to apply updated FASB guidance to the derivative that is within the warrant that was issued as consideration for the Company's credit facility, which is discussed in Note 10 and included as a discount on the Company's long-term debt. The

derivative was valued using the Black-Scholes model. The key inputs in the model at March 31, 2010 are as follows:

	March 31, 2010
Dividend yield		None
Expected volatility		78	%
Risk-free interest rate		1.02	%
Expected term		7 years
Stock price	$	1.05

        The derivative is measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant observable inputs (Level 2). The amount of total gain in earnings for the period is as follows:

	Warrant Liability
Beginning balance at December 31, 2009	$	292
Total loss realized in earnings		208
Ending balance at March 31, 2010	$	500

NOTE 13—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Amendment to Credit Facility

        The Borrowers and the Lender entered into Amendment Number 10 to Loan Documents ("Amendment 10"), which amends the Credit Agreement as of May 3, 2010. Among other things, Amendment 10 modifies the schedule for certain milestone events related to the process for the sale of certain assets of the Borrowers.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Cautionary Statement

        The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The information contained in this report is not a complete description of our business or the risks associated with an investment in our common stock. We urge you to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our other reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K, which discuss our business in greater detail. This report and the following discussion contain forward-looking statements, which generally include the plans, objectives and expectations of management for future operations, including plans, objectives and expectations relating to our future economic performance and our current beliefs regarding revenues we might generate and profits we might earn if we are successful in implementing our business and growth strategies. The forward-looking statements and associated risks may include, relate to or be qualified by other important factors, including, without limitation:

•

our ability to continue to borrow funds under the revolver terms of our credit facility (see "—Liquidity and Capital Resources");

•

our ability to sell assets and achieve the milestones for such transactions, as required by our Lender under the terms of the credit facility;

•

the ongoing revenues and profitability of the Company will be substantially reduced as a result of our sale of a significant portion of the Company's assets in order to satisfy our debt obligations. This could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations, financial condition and ability to continue operations;

•

our ability to find and secure alternate financing to our current credit facility on or before June 30, 2010, including a replacement revolver facility in the event the obligations under the current facility are paid in full;

•

exposure to and impacts of various international risks including legal, business, political and economic risks associated with our international operations, also including the impact of foreign currency translation (see "—Foreign Currency Translation");

•

the projected growth or contraction in the electronic devices and communications equipment markets in which we operate;

•

our strategies for expanding, maintaining or contracting our presence in these markets;

•

anticipated and unanticipated trends in our financial condition and results of operations;

•

our ability to meet our working capital and other financing needs;

•

our ability to distinguish ourselves from our current and future competitors;

•

our ability to secure long term purchase orders;

•

our ability to deliver against existing or future backlog;

•

technical or quality issues experienced by us, our suppliers and/or our customers;

•

failure to comply with existing or future government or industry standards and regulations;

•

our ability to successfully locate, acquire and integrate any possible future acquisitions;

D-24

•

our ability to successfully support the working capital needs of our company;

•

the impact of current and/or future economic conditions, including but not limited to the overall condition of the stock market, the overall credit market, the global recession, political, economic and/or other constraints which are or may negatively impact the industries in which we participate and/or the ability for us to market the products which we sell; and

•

our ability to successfully compete against competitors that in many cases are larger than we, have access to significantly more working capital than we and have significant resources in comparison to us.

        We do not undertake to update, revise or correct any forward-looking statements.

        Any of the factors described above or in the "Risk Factors" sections contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and in this report could cause our financial results, including our net income or loss or growth in net income or loss to differ materially from prior results, which in turn could, among other things, cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially.

Business Description

        We design, manufacture and market proprietary electronic devices and communications equipment for aerospace, defense, industrial, and communications applications. We have operations in the U.S., England, and France. We organize our business in two operating segments: electronic devices and communications equipment. In the first quarter of 2010, our electronic devices segment contributed approximately 63% of overall net sales while the communications segment contributed approximately 37% of overall net sales. Our subsidiaries within our electronic devices segment design, develop, manufacture and market power supplies, radio frequency, or RF, and microwave devices for defense, aerospace and industrial markets. Our subsidiaries within our communications equipment segment design, develop, manufacture and market network access equipment, including network timing and synchronization products, for communications applications in defense, public and private networks and industrial markets.

        Within our electronic devices segment, we produce a range of power systems and RF and microwave devices. This segment is primarily "project" driven with the majority of revenues being derived from custom products with long life cycles and high barriers to entry. The majority of manufacturing and testing is performed in-house or through sub-contract manufacturers. Our electronic devices are used in a wide range of military airborne, seaborne and land-based systems, and in-flight entertainment systems, including the latest next generation in-flight entertainment and communications, or IFE&C, systems—such as applications for mobile phone, e-mail and internet communications and real time, on-board satellite and broadcast TV—which are being installed in new commercial aircraft as well as being retrofitted into existing commercial aircraft.

        Within our communications equipment segment, we produce a range of network access equipment, including network timing and synchronization products, for public and private communications networks. This segment is "end user product" based with a traditional cycle of internally funded development and marketing prior to selling via direct and indirect sales channels. Manufacturing is primarily outsourced. Our communications equipment is used in a broad range of network applications primarily for private communications networks, public communications carriers, and also for utility companies and military applications, including homeland security.

Critical Accounting Policies

        Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The

D-25

preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of net sales and expenses for each period. The following represents a summary of our critical accounting policies, defined as those policies that we believe are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and that require management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Revenue Recognition

        We derive revenues from sales of electronic devices and communications equipment products and services. Our sales are based upon written agreements or purchase orders that identify the type and quantity of the item and/or services being purchased and the purchase price. We recognize revenues when shipment of products has occurred or services have been rendered, no significant obligations remain on our part, and collectability is reasonably assured based on our credit and collections practices and policies.

        We recognize revenues from domestic sales of our electronic devices and communications equipment at the point of shipment of those products. An estimate of warranty cost is recorded at the time the revenue is recognized. Product returns are infrequent and require prior authorization because our sales are final and we quality test our products prior to shipment to ensure the products meet the specifications of the binding purchase orders under which those products are shipped. Normally, when a customer requests and receives authorization to return a product, the request is accompanied by a purchase order for a repair or for a replacement product.

        Revenue recognition for products and services provided by ACC and our subsidiaries in England depends upon the type of contract involved. Engineering/design services contracts generally entail design and production of a prototype over a term of up to several years, with revenue deferred until each milestone defined in the contract is reached. Production contracts provide for a specific quantity of products to be produced over a specific period of time. Customers issue binding purchase orders or enter into binding agreements for the products to be produced. We recognize revenues on these orders as the products are shipped. Returns are infrequent and permitted only with prior authorization because these products are custom made to order based on binding purchase orders and are quality tested prior to shipment. An estimate of warranty cost is recorded at the time revenue is recognized.

        We recognize revenues for products sold by our subsidiary in France at the point of shipment. Customer discounts are included in the product price list provided to the customer. Returns are infrequent and permitted only with prior authorization because these products are shipped based on binding purchase orders and are quality tested prior to shipment. An estimate of warranty cost is recorded at the time revenue is recognized.

        Revenues from services such as repairs and modifications are recognized when the service is completed and invoiced. For repairs that involve shipment of a repaired product, we recognize repair revenues when the product is shipped back to the customer. Service revenues contribute less than 5% of total revenue and, therefore, are considered to be immaterial to overall financial results.

Product Warranty Liabilities

        Generally, our products carry a standard one-year, limited parts and labor warranty. In certain circumstances, we provide a two-year limited parts and labor warranty. We offer extended warranties beyond two years for an additional cost to our customers. Products returned under warranty typically are tested and repaired or replaced at our option. Historically, we have not experienced significant warranty costs or returns.

D-26

        We record a liability for estimated costs that we expect to incur under our basic limited warranties when product revenue is recognized. Factors affecting our warranty liability include the number of units sold, the types of products involved, historical and anticipated rates of claim and historical and anticipated costs per claim. We periodically assess the adequacy of our warranty liability accrual based on changes in these factors.

Inventory Valuation

        Our electronic devices segment finished goods inventories generally are built to order. Our communications equipment inventories generally are built to forecast, which requires us to produce a larger amount of finished goods in our communications equipment business so that our customers can be served promptly. Our products consist of numerous electronic and other materials, which necessitate that we exercise detailed inventory management. We value our inventory at the lower of the actual cost to purchase or manufacture the inventory (first-in, first-out) or the current estimated market value of the inventory (net realizable value). We perform cycle counts of inventories using an ABC inventory methodology, which groups inventory items into prioritized cycle counting categories, or we conduct physical inventories at least once a year. We regularly review inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on our estimated forecast of product demand and production requirements for the next 12 to 24 months. Additionally, to determine inventory write-down provisions, we review product line inventory levels and individual items as necessary and periodically review assumptions about forecasted demand and market conditions. Any inventory that we determine to be obsolete, either in connection with the physical count or at other times of observation, are reserved for and subsequently written-off.

        The electronic devices and communications equipment industries are characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product development, and rapid product obsolescence that could result in an increase in the amount of obsolete inventory quantities on hand. Also, our estimates of future product demand may prove to be inaccurate, in which case we may have understated or overstated the provision required for excess and obsolete inventory. Although we make every effort to ensure the accuracy of our forecasts of future product demand, any significant unanticipated changes in demand or technological developments could have a significant impact on the value of our inventory and our reported operating results.

Foreign Currency Translation

        We have foreign subsidiaries that together accounted for approximately 81.8% and 87.1% of our net revenues from continuing operations, 33.1% and 34.7% of our assets and 19.7% and 27.5% of our total liabilities as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to translate the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries from the functional currencies in which they keep their accounting records into U.S. dollars. This process results in exchange gains and losses which, under relevant accounting guidance, are included either within our statement of operations under the caption "other income (expense)" or as a separate part of our net equity under the caption "accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)."

        Under relevant accounting guidance, the treatment of these translation gains or losses depends upon management's determination of the functional currency of each subsidiary. This determination involves consideration of relevant economic facts and circumstances affecting the subsidiary. Generally, the currency in which the subsidiary transacts a majority of its transactions, including billings, financing, payroll and other expenditures, would be considered the functional currency. However, management must also consider any dependency of the subsidiary upon the parent and the nature of the subsidiary's operations.

D-27

        If management deems any subsidiary's functional currency to be its local currency, then any gain or loss associated with the translation of that subsidiary's financial statements is included as a separate component of stockholders' equity in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). However, if management deems the functional currency to be U.S. dollars, then any gain or loss associated with the translation of these financial statements would be included in other income (expense) within our statement of operations.

        If we dispose of any of our subsidiaries, any cumulative translation gains or losses would be realized into our statement of operations. If we determine that there has been a change in the functional currency of a subsidiary to U.S. dollars, then any translation gains or losses arising after the date of the change would be included within our statement of operations.

        Based on our assessment of the factors discussed above, we consider the functional currency of each of our international subsidiaries to be each subsidiary's local currency. Accordingly, we had cumulative translation losses of $2.6 million and $1.6 million that were included as part of accumulated other comprehensive loss within our balance sheets at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, we included translation losses of $1.0 million and $0.4 million, respectively, under accumulated other comprehensive loss.

        The magnitude of these gains or losses depends upon movements in the exchange rates of the foreign currencies in which we transact business as compared to the value of the U.S. dollar. During the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, these currencies primarily included the euro and the British pound sterling and, to a lesser extent, the Japanese yen in the period ended March 31, 2009. Any future translation gains or losses could be significantly higher or lower than those we recorded for these periods.

        A 2.5 million British pound sterling loan payable from one of our subsidiaries in England to EMRISE was outstanding as of March 31, 2010 ($3.8 million based on the exchange rate at March 31, 2010). Exchange rate losses and gains on the long-term portion of this loan are recorded in cumulative translation gains or losses in the equity section of the balance sheet.

Intangibles, Including Goodwill

        We periodically evaluate our intangibles, including goodwill, for potential impairment. Our judgments regarding the existence of impairment are based on many factors including market conditions and operational performance of our acquired businesses.

        In assessing potential impairment of goodwill, we consider these factors as well as forecasted financial performance of the acquired businesses. If forecasts are not met, we may have to record additional impairment charges not previously recognized. In assessing the recoverability of our goodwill and other intangibles, we must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of those respective assets. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges for these assets that were not previously recorded. If that were the case, we would have to record an expense in order to reduce the carrying value of our goodwill. Under FASB guidance related to goodwill and other intangible assets, we are required to analyze our goodwill for impairment issues at least annually or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. At March 31, 2010, our reported goodwill totaled $15.5 million of which $12.0 million had been allocated to assets held for sale. We evaluated the fair value of the electronic devices reporting unit at March 31, 2010 and determined that no impairment of goodwill existed at that date. In assessing the potential impairment of goodwill, we consider forecasted financial performance of the acquired businesses to determine the fair value of the respective assets.

Results of Operations

Overview

        The majority of our products are customized to the unique specifications of our customers and are subject to variable timing of delivery. Shipments of products can be accelerated or delayed due to many reasons including, but not limited to, exceeding or not meeting customer contract requirements, a change in customer timing or specifications, technology related issues and production related issues. Comparability of our revenues and gross profit is difficult from period to period due to this product variability. Exceptions to this include certain long-term military contracts and certain long-term telecommunications contracts.

        Overall sales from continuing operations decreased 16.8% in the first quarter of 2010 as compared to the first quarter of 2009. Our overall net sales of $7.1 million for the first quarter of 2010 reflected declines in net sales at our electronic devices subsidiaries, offset slightly by increases in our communications equipment subsidiaries. The declines in our electronic devices subsidiary were further affected by the negative impact of exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the British pound sterling.

        Overall gross profit as a percentage of sales from continuing operations decreased to 27.5% in the first quarter of 2010 from 34.9% in the first quarter of 2009. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales from continuing operations was due to the decline in gross margins within our electronic devices segment and our French communications equipment subsidiary associated with lower sales volumes, which was partially offset by improvements in gross profit as a percentage of sales within our U.S. communications equipment subsidiary.

        The following is a detailed discussion of our results of operations by business segment. As a result of the sale of our RO Operations in March of 2009, for purposes of the following discussion and analysis, the RO Operations have been removed from the prior period comparisons and the quarterly results of the RO Operations are reported as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. Additionally, the certain assets identified for sale as a result of Amendment 8 and the associated Amendments Number 9 and 10, entered into in April and May, 2010, respectively, of our credit facility have been reported as a discontinued and held for sale operation for all periods presented.

        As required under the Credit Facility, we plan to sell a significant portion of our total assets during 2010 (See Notes 2, 9 and 10 in the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements). We may sell additional assets for strategic or other reasons (together with the significant assets we agreed to sell under the Credit Facility, the "Future Asset Sales"). As a result of the Future Asset Sales, we are expecting overall declines in net sales, gross profit, operating income and net income within all of our reporting segments and on a consolidated basis as a Company. However, the magnitude of such declines will largely depend on which assets we actually sell and the timing of such sales, all of which are uncertain at this time. Where applicable, we will discuss possible future impacts of Future Assets Sales herein; however, we will not attempt to address all potential impacts or to quantify the magnitude of such sales on our future results due to the significant uncertainties associated with doing so.

Discontinued operations			5,653			5,692
Total net sales		$	12,744		$	14,213

Electronic Devices Segment

        The decrease in sales of our electronic devices in the first quarter of 2010 as compared to the first quarter of 2009 was primarily due to delays in the awarding of foreign military contracts as a result of the global economic conditions and one large contract at one of our U.K. subsidiaries concluding in the first quarter of 2009. Additionally, a significant portion of our business at U.K. subsidiaries is transacted in U.S. dollars and was negatively impacted by exchange rate fluctuations, as the subsidiary's local currency is the British pound sterling. The translation impact of exchange rates remains an uncertainty and could negatively or positively impact our overall results in future periods.

Communications Equipment Segment

        First quarter 2010 net sales within our communications equipment segment remained consistent with the 2009 first quarter. We experienced an increase in sales to the Federal Aviation Administration and the U.S. military at our U.S. communications equipment subsidiary as a result of a substantial increase in test equipment sales offset by a decrease in orders and shipments for network access and timing products at our French subsidiary due largely to economic impacts and spending reductions by the French Defense Ministry.

        Net sales in our French communications equipment subsidiary have been, and are likely to continue to be, negatively impacted by the recent economic conditions, as the French government continues to defer discretionary spending due to current economic conditions.

Gross Profit

		Three Months Ended March 31,						Variance Favorable (Unfavorable)
(in thousands)		2010			2009			Dollar			Percent

Discontinued operations			2,813			1,980
Total gross profit		$	4,764		$	4,957

Electronic Devices Segment

        The decrease in gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, for our electronic devices segment from 35.5% in the first quarter of 2009 to 24.9% in the first quarter of 2010 is primarily due to the decrease in volume of sales as discussed above, which resulted in a larger portion of fixed production overhead being absorbed, and changes in product mix.

Communications Equipment Segment

        The decrease in gross margin for our communications equipment segment from 33.6% in the first quarter of 2009 to 31.9% in the first quarter of 2010 is primarily the result of unfavorable impacts as a result of the changes in foreign currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the euro in the first quarter of 2010 as compared to the first quarter of 2009 and the lower sales volume at our French subsidiary, partially offset by increases in gross margins at our U.S. communications equipment subsidiary as a result of changes in pricing strategy.

Operating Expenses

		Three Months Ended March 31,						Variance Favorable (Unfavorable)
(in thousands)		2010			2009			Dollar			Percent
Selling, general and administrative		$	2,494		$	2,617		$	123			4.7	%
	as % of net sales		35.2	%		30.7	%
Engineering and product development			522			369			(153	)		(41.5	)%

Discontinued operations			1,383			2,083
Total operating expenses		$	4,399		$	5,069

Selling, general and administrative expenses

        The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily the result of the significant decreases in SG&A, primarily at our corporate headquarters, as a result of cost reduction activities.

D-31

        During 2010, we expect selling, general and administrative expense to be lower than the 2009 comparative periods as we see the affects of the cost reduction actions taken in 2009 and due to the sale of our RO Operations.

Engineering and product development

        The increase in engineering and product development costs is primarily due to U.S. communications equipment subsidiary related to development of new products and enhancements of existing products.

        During the remainder of 2010, engineering and product development expenses are expected to remain at or slightly below 2009 levels.

Interest expense

        Interest expense was $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 due to lower outstanding loan balances. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2009, we accelerated the amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discount in the amount of $0.5 million associated with the partial repayment of our Term Loan B, which was absent in the first quarter of 2010. Included in interest expense in the first quarter of 2010 were $0.3 million of non-cash amortization of deferred financing costs and non-cash amortization of debt discount compared to $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2009. We expect quarterly interest expense for the remainder of 2010 to decrease significantly from the comparable prior year periods as a result of the lower outstanding loan balances and as we make scheduled principal payments and use the proceeds from the sales of assets to pay down outstanding loan balances.

Other, net

        We recorded other income of $144,000 in the first quarter of 2010 compared to expense of $42,000 in the first quarter of 2009. Other, net consists primarily of (i) short-term exchange rate gains and losses associated with the volatility of the U.S. dollar to the British pound sterling and euro on the current portion of certain assets and liabilities and (ii) fair value adjustments on warrants. The change in the fair value of warrants during the first quarter of 2010 resulted in expense of $208,000 compared to income of $130,000 in the first quarter of 2009. The remaining income of $352,000 for the first quarter of 2010 was predominantly related to short-term exchange rate gains.

Income tax expense

        Income tax benefit amounted to $0.1 million for the first quarter of 2010 compared to expense of $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2009. We recorded income tax expense primarily as a result of foreign income tax on foreign earned profits in Europe and New Jersey state income taxes on income generated by ACC. The income tax benefit in the first quarter of 2010 was related to the losses we incurred during the quarter.

        Future Asset Sales may trigger additional income tax obligations in 2010. The Company has exhausted a significant portion of its net operating losses available to be carried forward into future periods and, as a result, any income from operations and/or gain on sales of assets could result in significant tax obligations in 2010.

Income (Loss) from Discontinued and Held For Sale Operations

        In connection with the sale of our RO Operations on March 20, 2010 and the classification of certain of our assets as held for sale, we reported income from discontinued and held for sale operations of $0.7 million (net of $0.2 million in taxes) during the first quarter of 2010, which includes

D-32

a $0.5 million loss on the sale of our RO Operations. Additionally, in connection with the sale of our Digitran Operations on March 20, 2009, we reported income from discontinued and held for sale operations of $6.7 million (net of $0.7 million in taxes) during the first quarter of 2009, which includes a $7.4 million gain on the sale of our Digitran Operations.

Net income (loss)

        We reported a net loss of $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2010 and net income of $4.8 million in the first quarter of 2009. Included in net loss in the first quarter of 2010 was a $0.5 million loss on the sale of RO and an overall decline in net sales and gross profit from continuing operations. Excluding any impact from the sale of assets in the remaining quarters of 2010, we anticipate net income (loss) to improve in future quarters as compared to prior year quarters, due in large part to the cost reduction efforts completed in 2009, and also due to lower anticipated interest expense in future quarters.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        In making an assessment of our liquidity, we believe that the items in our financial statements that are most relevant to our ongoing operations are working capital, cash generated from operating activities and cash available from financing activities. We fund our daily cash flow requirements through funds provided by operations and through borrowings under our credit facility with GVEC Resource IV Inc. ("GVEC" or the "Lender"). Working capital from continuing operations was negative $4.0 million at March 31, 2010 as compared to negative $3.5 million at December 31, 2009, primarily due to lower accounts receivable and inventory balances at March 31, 2010 as a result of lower sales levels during the first quarter of 2010. At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had accumulated deficits of $27.5 million and $26.6 million, respectively, and cash and cash equivalents of $2.5 million and $4.0 million, respectively. Cash balances fluctuate and are dependent upon timing of advances and repayments on the Revolver. Our cash balances are often significantly higher at the end of the month than at other times throughout the remainder of the month as a result of borrowings under our credit facility generally occurring toward the end of the month and timing of payments to vendors in the form of accounts payable, payroll and interest payments generally occurring at the beginning of the month.

        Net cash provided by operating activities during the first quarter of 2010 totaled $0.6 million. Significant non-cash adjustments to our net income for 2009 include (i) the amortization of debt discount and amortization of deferred financing costs which, on a combined basis, totaled $0.3 million, both of which are non-cash components of interest expense associated with our credit facility, (ii) depreciation and amortization expense which totaled $0.3 million, and (iii) a change in fair value of common stock warrants which expensed $0.2 million as a non-cash component of net income. The primary significant use of cash associated with operating activities during the first quarter of 2010 was a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities by approximately $1.2 million, in part due to payments made on previously accrued amounts related to the sale of the RO Operations and also due to timing of vendor payments. The primary sources of cash associated with operating activities during the first quarter of 2010 included a decrease in accounts receivable, which decreased by $0.8 million, due primarily to increased collections on higher sales in the fourth quarter of 2009 and a decrease in inventory of $0.8 million as a result of an effort to more effectively use existing inventory.

        Cash generated from our investing activities during the first quarter of 2010 totaled $0.8 million. This amount consisted primarily of net cash proceeds generated by the March 2010 sale of our RO Operations.

        Cash used in financing activities during the first quarter of 2010 totaled $2.0 million, which consisted of $0.5 million in repayments of principal owed on long term debt and notes to stockholders and $1.5 million in net repayments on our revolving credit facility.

D-33

        As of March 31, 2010, we had outstanding borrowings of $3.7 million under the revolving loan portion of our credit facility. At March 31, 2010, we had remaining actual availability under a formula-based calculation of $3.3 million under the credit facility. Actual remaining availability represents the additional amount we were eligible to borrow as of March 31, 2010 pursuant to our $7.0 million revolving line of credit. The availability under our revolving line of credit fluctuates periodically throughout each month depending on timing of borrowings and repayments. At May 7, 2010, our eligible collateral was $5.9 million (compared to the maximum of $7 million) and our outstanding borrowings at that date were $5.2 million. Therefore, our actual availability was $0.6 million.

        In addition to the revolving line of credit, at March 31, 2010, we had debt obligations of $8.2 million, which includes term loans from our Lender, capitalized lease and equipment loan obligations and notes payable to shareholders, the current portion of which loans and obligations totaled $8.1 million. We also have debt obligations associated with assets held for sale of $4.3 million that has been classified as current liabilities of discontinued and held for sale operations in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. These debt obligations are due in November 2010.

        Our backlog from continuing operations increased to $17.6 million as of March 31, 2010 as compared to $15.9 million as of December 31, 2009. The increase from December 31, 2009 is primarily due to the increase of additional orders at our U.K. RF devices subsidiary and our French communications equipment subsidiary offset by declines at our other subsidiaries. The amount of backlog orders represents revenue that we anticipate recognizing in the future, as evidenced by purchase orders and other purchase commitments received from customers, but on which work has not yet been initiated or with respect to which work is currently in progress. Our backlog as of March 31, 2010 was approximately 91% related to our electronic devices business, which business tends to provide us with long lead-times for our manufacturing processes due to the custom nature of the products, and approximately 9% related to our communications equipment business, which business tends to deliver standard or modified standard products from stock as orders are received. We believe that the majority of our current backlog will be shipped within the next 12 months. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in fulfilling such orders and commitments in a timely manner or that we will ultimately recognize as revenue the amounts reflected as backlog.

Credit Facility

        EMRISE (including each of its direct subsidiaries), are parties to a Credit Agreement, as amended, with the Lender, providing for a credit facility in the aggregate amount of $26,000,000. As of March 31, 2010, we owed a total of $11.6 million under the terms of the credit facility.

        On January 25, 2010, EMRISE and its Lender entered into Amendment Number 8 to Loan Documents, which amended EMRISE's Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2009. All references to the Credit Facility herein refer to the Credit Agreement as amended. The Credit Facility requires the sale of a significant portion of our assets by June 30, 2010 (the "Maturity Date"). As discussed further in Note 3 in our March 31, 2010 financial statements, these assets contributed approximately $20 million or 37% of the Company's net sales from continuing operations and operating income of approximately $3 million of the Company's total operating income from continuing operations of $1.4 million for 2009. The Company is required to achieve certain milestones in connection with these sale activities and the maintenance of maximum capital expenditure financial covenants. Lender has the current right to appoint an outside observer to review our books and records and business operations, with certain limitations designed to minimize disruption to our business operations. Upon the sale of the assets we agreed to sell, we will retain a percentage of the proceeds of some of such sales for working capital and are obligated to use the remaining proceeds to pay down the obligations owed to the Lender. We are also obligated to provide financial information and status reports to the Lender on a regular basis. The practical effect of the January 25th amendment was to provide a forbearance by the Lender through the Maturity Date on the equity raise default and the possible financial covenant

D-34

defaults that was and may have been otherwise triggered under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2009 and allow us time to sell certain assets in order to pay down the obligations to the Lender.

        In April, 2010, the Borrowers and the Lender entered into Amendment Number 9 to Loan Documents, which removes the obligation to sell certain assets while retaining the obligation to sell other assets, and provides some clarity that the Lender will not charge fees for making adjustments to the milestones required to be met before the maturity date, provided certain conditions are satisfied. In May 2010, the Borrowers and the Lender entered into Amendment Number 10 to Loan Documents, which adjusted certain milestones required to be met before the maturity date.

        We are working on an amendment to extend certain of the milestones to have been achieved the week of this filing with an indication from the lender such extension will be acceptable. We expect to sign a formal amendment this week, but there can be no guarantees that such amendment will be successfully or timely completed.

        The credit facility currently consists of (i) a revolving loan for up to $7 million that expires on June 30, 2010 (the "Revolver"), and (ii) two term loans (Term Loan A and Term Loan B) with an aggregate net outstanding principal amount of $7.9 million as of March 31, 2010. The term loans require remaining combined scheduled principal payments of $75,000 bi-weekly, which began on February 1, 2010 and continue through maturity. The facility also requires monthly interest payments and a final balloon payment of principal upon maturity on June 30, 2010 of approximately $7.4 million in term debt plus the outstanding balance of the revolver, which at March 31, 2010 was $3.7 million.

        The Revolver is formula-based and generally provides that the outstanding borrowings under the line of credit may not exceed an aggregate of 85% of eligible accounts receivable, plus 10% of the value of eligible raw materials not to exceed $600,000, plus 50% of the value of eligible finished goods inventory not to exceed $1,500,000, minus the aggregate amount of reserves that may be established by the Lender.

        Interest on the Revolver is payable monthly. The interest rate is variable and is adjusted monthly based on the prime rate as published in the "Money Rates" column of The Wall Street Journal (the "Base Rate") plus 1.25%, subject to a minimum rate of 9.5% per annum. The Revolver contains a capital expenditures covenant, prohibiting any such expenditures in excess of $1,800,000 through June 30, 2010. Additionally, the Revolver prohibits us from incurring unfinanced capital expenditures in excess of $62,500 in any fiscal quarter and from incurring purchase money commitments in excess of $2 million over the life of the facility. However, if we incur unfinanced capital expenditures of less than $62,500 in any fiscal quarter, the difference between the amount incurred in a certain fiscal quarter and $62,500 may be incurred in the two fiscal quarters immediately following such fiscal quarter. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at March 31, 2010.

        The term loans bear interest at the Base Rate plus 4.25%, subject to a minimum rate of 12.5% per annum. Under the credit facility, we may make full or partial prepayment of the term loans provided that any such prepayment is accompanied by the applicable prepayment premium discussed below.

        To secure payment of the indebtedness under the credit facility, we irrevocably pledged and assigned to, and granted to the Lender a continuing security interest in, all the personal property of the Company and its direct subsidiaries, including our interest in any deposit accounts, the stock of each of our direct and indirect subsidiaries, the intellectual property owned by each of the Company and its direct subsidiaries, and the proceeds of the intellectual property owned by each of these entities. In an event of default, the Lender may, at its option, exercise any or all remedies available to it with respect to the collateral. In addition, certain of our foreign subsidiaries have agreed to guarantee our performance under the credit facility.

D-35

        There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully amend the Credit Agreement to extend sale related milestones, we will be able to successfully sell the contemplated assets that we are obligated to sell, pursuant to the credit facility, in the agreed time frames, achieve the related milestones on a timely basis, and/or sell the assets at prices sufficient to satisfy the debt owed to the Lender, if at all. Even if we do successfully amend the Credit Agreement to extend sale related milestones and sell the contemplated assets and pay the obligations owed to the Lender in full, our ongoing revenues will be substantially reduced, which could have a material adverse affect on our operations and financial condition.

        If an event of default were to occur, including the failure to successfully amend the Credit Agreement to extend sale related milestones or failure to achieve any of the milestones related to asset sales required by the Credit Facility, the Lender could accelerate the debt and exercise its rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement. An acceleration of the principal, deferred fees and accrued interest due on the date of a declared event of default would be a significant amount that would be due on such date. If such an acceleration were declared as of May 7, 2010, the amount would equal $13.2 million. We do not have the ability to pay this amount from currently available sources at this time. The rights and remedies available to the Lender under the Credit Agreement in the event of a declared event of default include a foreclosure on our assets before the contemplated asset sales could be completed. The Lender may also elect to increase the interest rate applicable to the outstanding balance of the Term Loans A and B by four percentage points above the per annum interest rate that would otherwise be applicable. Additionally, if the lender terminates the credit facility during a default period then we are subject to a penalty equal to 2% of the outstanding principal balance of the Revolver and the Term Loans.

Liquidity

        Our current business plan requires additional funding beyond our anticipated cash flows from operations. These and other factors described in more detail below raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to (i) sell the assets as required in the Credit Facility, (ii) repay our credit facility on or prior to its maturity date, (iii) obtain alternate revolver financing to fund operations after the credit facility is paid in full and (iv) achieve profitable operations.

        If our net losses continue, we may experience negative cash flow, which may prevent us from continuing operations. If we are not able to attain, sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis, we may not be able to continue operations and our stock price may decline.

        If we (i) default under the Credit Facility for any reason, including missing a milestone, (ii) are unable to timely sell assets at sufficient prices, (iii) cannot borrow funds under the terms of the Revolver, for any reason, or (iv) fail to obtain alternate financing to replace our credit facility or a new revolving facility once the current credit facility is paid in full, we do not believe that current and future capital resources, revenues generated from operations and other existing sources of liquidity will be adequate to meet our anticipated short term, working capital and capital expenditures needs for the next 12 months. Further, if any of these occur for any reason, or if we experience a significant loss of revenue or increase in costs, then our cash flow would be negatively impacted resulting in a cash flow deficit. A cash flow deficit will require us to seek additional or alternate financing, with little or no notice, which would be difficult to obtain in these economic conditions and our anticipated financial condition in such circumstances. To address these potential financing needs, we may have to explore revised debt structure with our current lender, seek additional or new financing with another lender or lenders, sell additional assets to generate cash, or sell equity to raise capital. Successfully executing these strategies is uncertain and there are many risks associated with attempting to execute each. Failure to meet our financing requirements, if and when needed, would have an adverse effect on our operations and/or ability to do business after that date or could restrict our growth, limit the

D-36

development of new products, hinder our ability to fulfill existing or future orders or negatively affect our ability to secure new customers or product orders.

        If we are unsuccessful in securing the necessary financing to continue operations, when needed, then we may be forced to seek protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or be forced into liquidation or substantially restructuring or altering our business operations and/or debt obligations.

Effects of Inflation

        The impact of inflation and changing prices has not been significant on the financial condition or results of operations of either the Company or our operating subsidiaries.

ITEM 4T.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

        Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports pursuant to the Securities aExchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

        Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Company's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. This evaluation included an assessment of the design of the Company's internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of March 31, 2010 that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses discussed below.

        In light of the four material weaknesses described below, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure that our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, we believe that the consolidated financial statements included in

D-37

this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

        Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of March 31, 2010, the following four material weaknesses existed:

(1)

We did not effectively implement comprehensive entity-level internal controls.



(2)

We did not maintain effective controls over changes to critical financial reporting applications and over access to these applications and related data.



(3)

We did not maintain a sufficient level of information technology personnel to execute general computing controls over our information technology structure.



(4)

We did not maintain a sufficient level of resources within our accounting department.

        If not remediated, these material weaknesses could result in one or more material misstatements in our reported financial statements in a future annual or interim period.

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

        Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control systems are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, no evaluation of internal control over financial reporting can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been or will be detected.

        These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

Material Weaknesses and Related Remediation Initiatives

        Set forth below is a summary of the various significant deficiencies which caused management to conclude that we had the four material weaknesses identified above. Through the efforts of management, external consultants and our Audit Committee, we are currently in the process of executing specific action plans to remediate the material weaknesses identified above and discussed more fully below. We expect to complete these various action plans during 2010. If we are able to complete these actions in a timely manner, we anticipate that all control deficiencies and material weaknesses will be remediated in 2011.

        (1)   We did not effectively implement comprehensive entity-level internal controls, as evidenced by the following control deficiencies:

•

Entity Level Internal Control Evaluation. We did not formally consider entity-wide controls that are pervasive across our company when considering whether control activities are sufficient to address identified risks.

D-38

•

Fraud Considerations. We did not conduct regular formalized assessments to consider risk factors that influence the likelihood of someone committing a fraud and the impact of a fraud on our financial reporting.

•

Objective Evaluation of Internal Controls. We did not use an internal audit function or other objective party to provide an objective perspective on key elements of the internal control system.

•

Assessment of Information Technology. We did not formally evaluate the extent of the needed information technology controls in relation to our assessment of processes and systems supporting financial reporting.

•

Information Technology. We did not have sufficient information technology controls, where applicable, designed and implemented to support the achievement of financial reporting objectives.

•

Ongoing and Separate Evaluations. We did not effectively create and maintain effective evaluations on the progress of our remediation efforts nor the constant evaluations of the operating effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting.

•

Reporting Deficiencies. We did not perform timely and sufficient internal or external reporting of our progress and evaluation of prior year material weaknesses or the current fiscal year internal control deficiencies.

        (2)   We did not maintain effective controls over changes to critical financial reporting applications and over access to these applications and related data, as evidenced by the fact that certain of our personnel had unrestricted access to various financial application programs and data beyond the requirements of their individual job responsibilities. This control deficiency could result in a material misstatement of significant accounts or disclosures, including those described above, that could result in a material misstatement of our interim or annual consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

        (3)   We did not maintain a sufficient level of information technology personnel to execute general computing controls over our information technology structure, which include the implementation and assessment of information technology policies and procedures. This control deficiency did not result in an audit adjustment to our 2008 interim or annual consolidated financial statements, but could result in a material misstatement of significant accounts or disclosures, which would not have been prevented or detected.

        (4)   We are a relatively complex company with operations conducted in multiple countries, multiple currencies and multiple languages. We have divested four separate operations in the past 18 months, acquired a large subsidiary during the same time, and we are in the process of divesting additional assets in order to repay our current obligations. All of these transactions give rise to complex accounting and tax treatments. Most recently, we have been concentrating our efforts in securing amendments to our current credit facility and ensuring adherence to milestones set forth in our most recent credit facility amendment. Our finance team is a relatively small but experienced staff. Although we believe the accounting staff are qualified to perform their functions, due to reasons above, the quantity of staff may be insufficient to deal with the work load and complexities created, which could result in material misstatements to our financial statements.

Remediation of Internal Control Deficiencies and Expenditures

        It is reasonably possible that, if not remediated, one or more of the material weaknesses described above could result in a material misstatement in our reported financial statements that might result in a material misstatement in a future annual or interim period.

D-39

        We are developing specific action plans for each of the above material weaknesses. In addition, our audit committee has authorized the hiring of additional temporary staff and/or the use of financial and information technology consultants, as necessary, to ensure that we have the depth and experience to remediate the above listed material weaknesses, including the implementation and monitoring of the appropriate level of control procedures related to all of our manufacturing locations and our corporate offices. The audit committee will also work directly with management and outside consultants, as necessary, to ensure that board level deficiencies are addressed. We are uncertain at this time of the costs to remediate all of the above listed material weaknesses, however, we anticipate the cost to be in the range of $200,000 to $400,000 (including the cost of the consolidation software described above), most of which costs we expect to incur during 2010. We cannot guarantee that the actual costs to remediate these deficiencies will not exceed this amount.

        Through these steps, we believe that we are addressing the deficiencies that affected our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2010. Because the remedial actions require hiring of additional personnel, upgrading certain of our information technology systems, and relying extensively on manual review and approval, the successful operation of these controls for at least several quarters may be required before management may be able to conclude that the material weaknesses have been remediated. We intend to continue to evaluate and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting systems. These efforts require significant time and resources. If we are unable to establish adequate internal control over financial reporting systems, we may encounter difficulties in the audit or review of our financial statements by our independent registered public accounting firm, which in turn may have a material adverse effect on our ability to prepare financial statements in accordance with GAAP and to comply with our SEC reporting obligations.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

        There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

        The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-Q (this "Amendment") is to amend our original filing of a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2010, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on May 17, 2010 (the "Initial Filing").

        EMRISE Corporation (the "Company") is amending the Initial Filing to modify the discussion that the Company completed an evaluation of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2010 in Item 4T (Controls and Procedures) of the Initial Filing.

        Unless specified, the disclosures provided in this document have not been updated for more current information. Therefore, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with our other filings made with the SEC subsequent to the date of the initial filing.

ITEM 4T.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

        Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

        Based on an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15, as of March 31, 2010, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, because of the material weaknesses set forth below that were identified as part of our evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting at December 31, 2009.

E-3

Summary of Material Weaknesses

        Set forth below is a summary of the various significant deficiencies which caused management to conclude that we had four material weaknesses.

        (1)   We did not effectively implement comprehensive entity-level internal controls, as evidenced by the following control deficiencies:

•

Entity Level Internal Control Evaluation. We did not formally consider entity-wide controls that are pervasive across our company when considering whether control activities are sufficient to address identified risks.

•

Reporting Deficiencies. We did not perform timely and sufficient internal or external reporting of our progress and evaluation of prior year material weaknesses or the current fiscal year internal control deficiencies.

        (2)   We did not maintain effective controls over changes to critical financial reporting applications and over access to these applications and related data, as evidenced by the fact that certain of our personnel had unrestricted access to various financial application programs and data beyond the requirements of their individual job responsibilities. This control deficiency could result in a material misstatement of significant accounts or disclosures, including those described above, that could result in a material misstatement of our interim or annual consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

Remediation of Internal Control Deficiencies

        Through the efforts of management, external consultants and our Audit Committee, we are currently in the process of executing specific action plans to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. If we are able to complete these actions in a timely manner, we anticipate that all control deficiencies and material weaknesses will be remediated in 2011.

        We are developing specific action plans for each of the above material weaknesses. In addition, our audit committee has authorized the hiring of additional temporary staff and/or the use of financial and information technology consultants, as necessary, to ensure that we have the depth and experience to remediate the above listed material weaknesses, including the implementation and monitoring of the appropriate level of control procedures related to all of our manufacturing locations and our corporate offices. The audit committee will also work directly with management and outside consultants, as necessary, to ensure that board level deficiencies are addressed. We are uncertain at this time of the costs to remediate all of the above listed material weaknesses, however, we anticipate the cost to be in the range of $200,000 to $400,000 (including the cost of the consolidation software described above), most of which costs we expect to incur during 2010. We cannot guarantee that the actual costs to remediate these deficiencies will not exceed this amount.

        Through these steps, we believe that we are addressing the deficiencies that affected our internal control over financial reporting. Because the remedial actions require hiring of additional personnel, upgrading certain of our information technology systems, and relying extensively on manual review and approval, the successful operation of these controls for at least several quarters may be required before management may be able to conclude that the material weaknesses have been remediated. We intend to continue to evaluate and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting systems. These efforts require significant time and resources. If we are unable to establish adequate internal control over financial reporting systems, we may encounter difficulties in the audit or review of our financial statements by our independent registered public accounting firm, which in turn may have a material adverse effect on our ability to prepare financial statements in accordance with GAAP and to comply with our SEC reporting obligations.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

        There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
