   Emerson Radio Announces Appointment of S & I Electronics Plc as
             Its Master Distributor in the United Kingdom


    PARSIPPANY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 10, 2003--

           Emerson accelerates expansion into United Kingdom
             through strong product distribution alliance

    Emerson Radio (AMEX:MSN) today announced a multi-year agreement
appointing S & I Electronics Plc, London, England as its master
distributor for Emerson(R) branded products in the United Kingdom.
    The agreement contemplates the supply and distribution of
Emerson(R) branded products in the United Kingdom (UK) through S & I
Electronics Plc's (S&I) existing sales distribution network. The
agreement can be expanded to additional European countries already
serviced by S&I by mutual agreement and provides for the option to
appoint sub-distributors to address niche market sectors in an effort
to distribute specialty product categories.
    Geoffrey P. Jurick, Emerson's Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, stated "We have been in discussion with S & I Electronics'
management for some time and are pleased to announce an agreement
appointing S&I as our master distributor in the UK. The agreement
offers Emerson the opportunity to further expand our existing UK sales
efforts begun last fiscal year by leveraging affordably priced,
stylishly designed Emerson(R) branded products with S&I's established
sales marketing and distribution network. Furthermore, this agreement
integrates Emerson's existing direct sales efforts with S&I's thus
providing for the maximum market exposure that we believe affords a
strategic growth opportunity into the UK and the possibility of
additional expansion into other European countries."
    Ilyas Mohamed, S&I's Managing Director, stated, "S&I has been
interested for some time in developing a strategic alliance with an
established consumer electronics supplier such as Emerson Radio.
Emerson maintains a strong profile in the United States, but is a
comparative newcomer to the UK and European markets. Through this
relationship, we want to build consumer awareness of the Emerson(R)
brand in the UK and beyond. S&I will work in concert with Emerson's
sales, marketing and design teams to develop and sell a range of
quality products which will appeal to local markets at affordable
prices, that benefit consumers and both our companies."
