On August 6, 2009, Orbit International Corp. ("Orbit") issued a press release announcing its operating results for its second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009. Although the Company had previously disclosed it had terminated the services of an investment banker to pursue strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value, during the Company's investor conference call on the same date, the Company stated that it had hired a new investment banker, Stifel Nicolaus & Company, to perform those services. The press release contains a non-GAAP disclosure-Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock based compensation (EBITDA, as adjusted), that management feels provides useful information in understanding the impact of certain items to Orbit's financial statements. Orbit's press release is hereby furnished as follows:

                             FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Hauppauge, New York, August 6, 2009 - Orbit International Corp. (NASDAQ:ORBT), an electronics manufacturer, systems integrator and software solution provider, today announced results for the second quarter and six month period ended June 30, 2009.

SECOND QUARTER 2009 VS. SECOND QUARTER 2008

- Net sales increased 4% to $6,106,000 compared to $5,873,000;
- Gross margin was 41.9% compared to 39.7%;
- Net income was $6,000 or $.00 per diluted share compared to net loss of $306,000 or $.07 per share; and,
- Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock based compensation (EBITDA, as adjusted) was $310,000 ($.07 per diluted share) compared to $30,000 ($.01 per diluted share).

FIRST HALF 2009 VS. FIRST HALF 2008

- Net sales were $12,153,000 compared to $12,483,000, a decrease of 2.6%;
- Gross margin was 39.8% for both periods;
- Net loss was $347,000 or $.08 per share compared to net loss of $295,000 or $.07 per share;
- EBITDA, as adjusted, decreased to $261,000 ($.06 per diluted share) compared to $412,000 ($.09 per diluted share); and,
- Backlog at June 30, 2009 was $12.4 million compared to $15.3 million at mid-year 2008 and $14.3 million reported at March 31, 2009.

Dennis Sunshine, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "Although second quarter net sales were below our expectations due to continued contract delays, we reported a 4% increase in sales, improved gross margin and significantly higher EBIDTA compared to the prior year. Our sales were once again impacted by contract delays that were, and continue to be beyond our control. As previously reported, approximately $4.5 million in orders for our ICS subsidiary in support of the MK119 Gun Console System that were expected in the first half of the year are still pending. Our customer has assured us that funding for this program is in place, and the release of this award will come shortly. The $1.9 million RCU order, which we expected in the first half, was received this month and announced earlier this morning. The receipt of the MK 119 order, along with our new RCU order should add approximately $6.4 million to our backlog in the current quarter and support future revenue in the second half of the year and into 2010."

Sunshine added, "Based upon our backlog of $12.4 million, and current delivery schedules on projects underway and several multi-million orders that are pending and expected shortly, together with anticipated business opportunities for new and retrofit programs, we remain confident that 2009 will be a year of improved operating performance. We have stated several times that although the Company does not have a seasonal business cycle, our operating performance for the last two years has typically been stronger in the second half of the year, and 2009 appears to be trending there as well. Furthermore, our ongoing focus on tightly managing costs should enhance the positive impact of revenue growth with an even greater improvement in profitability."

Sunshine continued, "Our confidence is based upon several design and prototype programs that have entered into full production quantity requirements in 2009. These include the $2 million Black Hawk helicopter retrofit and display upgrade contract awarded to our Electronics Group in late December 2008, for which shipments are scheduled in the second half of 2009 and the design and qualification award for the CH-53E Sea Stallion helicopter upgrade program awarded in January of this year. The Sea Stallion program has the potential to become a $3 million revenue program starting later this year and continuing through 2011."

Sunshine added, "In addition, over the last several quarters, Orbit was selected by several new customers as their supplier of choice for critical design and development program opportunities. These programs include the manufacture of:
Color Plasma Entry Panels for the U.S Navy Inventory Control Point; hot swappable DC power supplies for use as part of a nuclear power plant control system; a new COTS power supply which will be embedded on the advanced gun control system for the U.S. Navy's DDG-1000 Zumwalt Class Destroyers; a switch matrix system for ground mobile vehicle systems; and, ruggedized color displays for virtually all mass transit systems nationwide. Although these programs have the potential for large follow-on awards and a source of significant future revenue, the timing of these potential releases remains uncertain."

Sunshine noted, "Several of the new business opportunities that our Power and Electronics Groups are currently working on have been specifically identified by the U.S. Department of Defense as being critical for future military engagements abroad. We are pursuing follow-on awards from our expanded base of prime global defense electronics contractors, as the modernization and critical refurbishment of existing military equipment continues to be a top priority of the current administration."

Sunshine added, "Our Tulip subsidiary, located in Quakertown, PA., is in the process of relocating its operations to a larger manufacturing facility, several miles from the current facility. This subsidiary, which has been experiencing strong internal growth and pursuing several new business opportunities, will now have the capacity and capability to handle significant program quantity requirements without any production schedule interruptions. Several significant program opportunities that are using Tulip display and switch bezel solutions, are on either near completion of system qualification testing, or are incorporating several last minute design change requests prior to finalizing production awards."

Mitchell Binder, Chief Financial Officer, added, "Our financial condition remains strong. At June 30, 2009, total current assets were $20,796,000 versus total current liabilities of $4,024,000 for a 5.2 to 1 current ratio. It should be noted that our inventory has increased from year end which is primarily due to ICS, during the second quarter, commencing the procurement process for materials for the MK119 Gun Console System contract. In addition, with approximately $20 million and $7 million in federal and state net operating loss carryforwards respectively, we should continue to shield profits from federal and New York State taxes and enhance future cash flow."

Binder added, "Our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities as of June 30, 2009 were approximately $3.1 million having used approximately $629,000 to repurchase shares under our $3 million treasury stock repurchase program. From August 2008 through July 31, 2009, a total of 280,617 common shares have been repurchased at an average price of $2.30 per share. Finally, our tangible book value at June 30, 2009 was $3.15 per share, increasing from $3.10 reported at March 31, 2009, but decreasing slightly compared to $3.19 reported at December 31, 2008."

Binder also stated, "As a result of lower than expected profitability due to customer contract delays described above, at June 30, 2009, the Company was not in compliance with two of its financial covenants with its primary lender. The Company believes it will obtain a waiver from its lender, but there can be no assurance that such waiver will be obtained. In the event such waiver is not obtained, all long term debt reflected on the Company's financial statements would be reclassified to current liabilities."

Binder concluded, "We continue to believe that the current trading price of our stock does not adequately reflect the present value of our Company nor the significance of several potential growth opportunities. Consequently, we intend to continue to purchase shares under our program subject to market conditions and at times when we deem it appropriate."

Sunshine concluded, "Our management continues to explore a number of strategic and financial alternatives that would enhance shareholder value, including the priority of synergistic acquisitions and/or the potential sale of the Company."
