EMRISE ANNOUNCES STOCKHOLDERS APPROVE PENDING SALE OF ADVANCED CONTROL COMPONENTS, INC. (ACC)

Approximately 99% of Shares Voted on ACC Proposal

Cast in Favor of Sale of ACC

Eatontown, NJ (August 30, 2010) — EMRISE CORPORATION (NYSE Arca:ERI), a multi-national manufacturer of defense, aerospace and industrial electronic devices and communications equipment, today announced that its stockholders voted at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders to approve the pending sale of its Advanced Control Components, Inc., (ACC) subsidiary to Plainview, NY-based Aeroflex, Incorporated.

The EMRISE 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders was held today as scheduled at 11:30 A.M. Eastern Time at the Staybridge Suites in Eatontown, NJ.   A quorum of stockholders was present in person or by proxy and 9.4 million shares, or 92 percent of the total common shares outstanding, were present at the meeting with approximately 60 percent of the outstanding shares being voted in favor of approving the sale of ACC to Aeroflex.  There were 6,160,212 votes for the proposal, 18,513 votes against the proposal, 30,349 votes that abstained, and 3,183,939 broker non-votes.

The other proposals to be voted on at the meeting were also approved including 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 the ratification of the selection of BDO USA, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accountant to audit its consolidated financial statements for 2010.

The Company indicated that, subject to the remaining closing conditions being met, which are described below, it expects to close the pending sale of ACC as early as August 31, 2010 and pay off all but $3.8 million of its total debt of approximately $16.5 million owed to its principal lender and the former ACC shareholders.

EMRISE Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Carmine T. Oliva said, “With the approval of the sale of ACC to Aeroflex, we reached another critical milestone in our strategy to pay off all but a small portion of our total outstanding debt to our principal lender and to the former shareholders of ACC.   Assuming the transactions to sell ACC and pay down of the debt close as expected, we will immediately begin to execute our previously announced strategy to grow the Company organically and to facilitate possible strategic transactions, which we believe will add value for our stockholders.”

Closing Conditions

Under the terms of the binding stock purchase agreement to sell ACC previously announced on June 7, 2010, the clause allowing for cancellation of the agreement without cause by either party became effective on August 1, 2010.  The closing of the ACC transaction, which has now been approved by the Company’s stockholders, remains subject to the stock purchase agreement not being cancelled by EMRISE or the buyer of ACC, obtaining the consent of the Company’s senior lender and the former shareholders of ACC, (both of which have been received pending final documentation), and other customary closing conditions.  The closing of the Transaction will satisfy the final milestone under the Company’s credit agreement with its senior lender.  Although the company believes it will be successful in meeting the closing conditions described above, no assurances can be made in this regard.
