EMRISE CORPORATION ANNOUNCES RESULTS OF ANNUAL STOCKHOLDER’S MEETING

 

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, December 14, 2007 - EMRISE CORPORATION (NYSE Arca: ERI), a multi-national manufacturer of defense, aerospace and industrial electronic devices and communications equipment, today announced that it held its annual stockholder’s meeting December 12, 2007 at its corporate offices at 9485 Haven Avenue, Suite 100, Rancho Cucamonga, California. The meeting was webcast live and was accessible by teleconference. A replay of the meeting is available on the internet at www.vcall.com site for 90 days and telephonically by dialing the toll-free number 877-660-6853 and for international callers 201-612-7415. The conference ID number of “265270” and Account number of “286” should be used.

 

EMRISE’s Chairman, President and CEO, Carmine T. Oliva, discussed the Company’s fourth quarter preliminary results stating that the Company expects to report a profit for the fourth quarter of 2007, excluding certain one-time financing costs that will be expensed during the quarter. He also stated that the Company expects to report net sales of approximately $15.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2007, which would lead to 2007 annual net sales of approximately $52 million. The shortfall from previous guidance is primarily due to (1) approximately $2 million in Company’s In-Flight Entertainment and Communications (“IFE&C”) business that was originally scheduled for shipment in 2007, but is now scheduled for shipment in the first half of 2008 due to customer delays and (2) approximately $1 million in delayed switch orders associated with the Defense Logistics Agency. During the call, Mr. Oliva also stated that we expect revenues for the full year of 2008 to approach $60 million.

 

During the call, Mr. Oliva discussed the recent $23 million financing that was completed. Regarding the $10 million acquisition line of credit that is provided as part of that facility, Mr. Oliva indicated that “EMRISE is well positioned to acquire a company with much larger revenue and higher net income than any of the three acquisitions that EMRISE concluded in 2004 or 2005.”  He indicated that with the help of its investment banker, the Company is considering acquisition prospects with revenue between $10 million and $25 million with high gross margin, solid profitability and which EMRISE expects would be highly accretive of earnings.

Additionally, Mr. Oliva commented that he believed the prospects are good to conclude a transaction in the first half of 2008, but indicated that there can be no assurance that a transaction will be completed in that time period or at all.

 

EMRISE’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Graham Jeffries, discussed the Company’s In-Flight Entertainment and Communications (“IFE&C”) program. Primarily, Mr. Jeffries stated that in excess of $4.5 million of legacy in-flight entertainment products have been shipped year-to-date. Additionally, he stated that the Company has seen the initial production shipments of complete IFE&C sub system assemblies for our new and largest customer of $2 million during the fourth quarter of 2007 with an additional $2 million delivered by the customer, but booked and scheduled for shipment in the first quarter of 2008. With respect to the power supply products for the European Fighter aircraft (Typhoon), Mr. Jeffries stated that this has been the largest single program in EMRISE’s history with in excess of $16 million booked to date, $4.5 million remaining in backlog, and a forecast from our customer of a further $10 million of orders is expected throughout 2008.

 

After the management presentations, the results of the stockholder vote were announced. Laurence P. Finnegan, Jr. was re-elected to serve a three-year term on the Company’s board of directors. The selection of the Company’s independent public accountants to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for 2007 was ratified. The adoption of the EMRISE Corporation 2007 Stock Incentive Plan was ratified.
