EMRISE CORPORATION COMPLETES REVERSE SPLIT OF COMMON STOCK

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif.—November 20, 2008—EMRISE CORPORATION (NYSE Arca: ERI), a multi-national manufacturer of defense and aerospace electronic devices and communications equipment, today announced that it completed the 1-for-3.75 reverse split of its common stock after the closing of the markets on November 19, 2008.

Beginning today, the Company’s shares will trade on the NYSE Arca exchange on a split-adjusted basis under its existing trading symbol “ERI”.

EMRISE’s Board of Directors implemented the reverse split with the objectives of retaining the Company’s listing on the NYSE Arca exchange and reducing the number of outstanding shares to a more appropriate level for the Company.  The Company’s stockholders approved the reverse split at a special meeting of stockholders held on November 6, 2008.

EMRISE’s Chief Executive Officer, Carmine T. Oliva, remarked: “Since the beginning of the year, we have achieved a number of goals that we expect will strengthen stockholder value, including organic sales growth, higher gross margins, expense control, quarterly profitability and positive cash flow. The acquisition we closed in August is already generating incremental revenue and accretive earnings. By going ahead with this reverse split, we expect to retain our listing on NYSE Arca which we believe will enable us to more effectively increase and broaden awareness of EMRISE and its potential with a larger audience of investors. Our third-quarter results indicate we are on the right track and we believe that we will achieve continued improvement in the fourth quarter of 2008 and in 2009.”

After taking into account the reverse stock split, the Company now has approximately 10 million shares of common stock outstanding.  Terms of the Company’s outstanding warrants and options have been adjusted accordingly.

Stockholders of record on November 20, 2008, will be sent instructions for exchanging their existing stock certificates for new stock certificates.  All fractional shares resulting from the reverse split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.  Stockholders with shares held in street name with a brokerage firm will have their accounts adjusted by their respective brokers.  Stockholders should not destroy any stock certificates and should not submit any certificates to the Company’s transfer agent until requested to do so.  Questions regarding this exchange process can be addressed by contacting the Company’s transfer agent, Computershare, at (800) 546-5141.
