The purchase price for the assets, which includes inventory, equipment and 
other physical property, was $3,700,000, subject to a final valuation of 
said assets as of the closing date.  The transaction was partially financed 
pursuant to a bridge loan in the amount of $500,000 from the Company's 
primary lender which was replaced by a term loan and revolving credit 
facility.  The term loan is secured with a mortgage on the Company's 
corporate facility.
     Had the acquisition been made on January 1, 1995 (unaudited) proforma 
sales, income and earnings per share from continuing operations would have 
been $17,501,000, $1,960,000 and $.33 per share respectively, for the nine 
month period ended September 30, 1995.

(NOTE 5) - Available-For-Sale Securities:

     On December 31, 1995 the Company transferred its marketable securities 
to the available for sale category of investments.  Available-for-sale 
securities are carried at fair value, with the net unrealized gains and 
losses, net of income taxes, reported as a separate component of 
stockholders' equity.  The cost of marketable securities was determined by 
the specific identification method.  Interest earned on securities 
classified as available-for-sale are included in investment and other income 
in the accompanying financial statements.
     Under the terms of certain credit facilities, the Company's investment 
portfolio and certain cash balances must be maintained at a minimum 
collateral value. On September 30, 1996, this collateral requirement 
amounted to approximately $3,401,000 of marketable securities.

   The following is a summary of available-for-sale securities as of 
September 30, 1996:

(Note 6) - Discontinued Operations:

     On August 6, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted 
a plan to sell its apparel segments.  The plan of disposal 
anticipates a sale of these segments by the end of 1996.  The Company 
estimated the loss on the discontinuance of the segments to be 
approximately $8,000,000, including approximately $3,800,000 of 
estimated losses on the disposal of the segments.  Such costs include 
monies owed pursuant to operating lease agreements, professional fees 
and other contractual obligations.  Accordingly, the historical 
results for the apparel segments have been classified as discontinued 
operations for all periods presented in the consolidated statements 
of operations.  Sales of the apparel segments were $19,017,000 and 
$30,805,000 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 
September 30, 1995, respectively.  At September 30, 1996, the assets 
of the segments to be sold consist primarily of inventories, 
property, plant and equipment and investment in marketable securities 
securing the Company's guarantees under the segments' financing 
arrangements.  Liabilities of the segments to be sold consist of 
monies due to the segments' lenders, accounts payable, accrued 
expenses and other obligations.  The consolidated balance sheet at 
December 31, 1995 has not been restated.






















<PAGE>
ORBIT INTERNATIONAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations

Nine month period ended September 30, 1996 v. September 30, 1995

     In August, 1996, the Company adopted a plan to sell its apparel 
segments.  The plan of disposal anticipates a sale of these segments 
by the end of 1996.  The company estimated the loss on the disposal 
of the apparel segments to the expected disposal date to be 
approximately $3,801,000 and charged 1996 operations with such 
amount.  Such costs include monies owed pursuant to operating lease 
arrangements, professional fees and other contractual obligations.  
The plan of disposal of the Company's apparel operations leaves the 
Company with solely its Electronic Segment which consists of the 
Orbit Instrument Division and the new Behlman subsidiary.

     Consolidated net sales for the nine month period ended September 
30, 1996 increased to $12,568,000 from $10,026,000 from the 
comparable period of the prior year due principally to $4,671,000 of 
revenues recorded by the Company's new Behlman subsidiary which was 
acquired in February, 1996 offset by a decrease in the number units 
shipped by the Orbit Instrument division.

     The net loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996, 
decreased to $5,421,000 from $17,734,000 from the comparable period 
of the prior year.  The loss for the current year was principally due 
to operating losses from the Company's apparel segments and to the 
estimated loss of $3,801,000 resulting from reserves taken on an 
expected loss on the disposal of such segments.  The loss in the 
prior year was principally due to non cash charges of $13,216,000 
reflecting the Company's write-off of goodwill and other intangible 
costs related to its U.S. Apparel Segment as well as $2,000,000 of 
inventory write-downs taken by the same segment.

     Net earnings from continuing operations for the nine month 
period ended September 30, 1996 increased to $2,580,000 from 
$2,305,000 from the comparable period of the prior year due 
principally to earnings recorded during the period by the Company's 
new Behlman subsidiary.

     Gross profit, as a percentage of sales for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1996 increased to 44.1% from 37.5% from the comparable 
period of the prior year due to greater efficiencies resulting from 
the Behlman acquisition.

<PAGE>
     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months 
ended September 30, 1996 increased to $4,115,000 from $3,367,000 
principally due to selling, general and administrative expenses 
incurred by the Company's new Behlman subsidiary and offset by lower 
corporate expenses and lower selling, general and administrative 
expenses incurred by the Orbit Instrument division.  Selling, general 
and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales decreased to 
32.7% from 33.6% due to additional sales and greater efficiencies 
derived from the Behlman acquisition and lower corporate expenses.

    Interest expense for the period decreased to $73,000 from 
$193,000 from the comparable period of the prior year due to a  
reduction in the average amounts owed during the period.

     Investment and other income for the nine months ended September 
30, 1996 decreased to $1,224,000 from $2,104,000 from the prior 
period due principally  to interest earned on higher cash balances in 
the prior period.  Both the current and prior period included non 
recurring income resulting from, in the current period, the 
realization of approximately $800,000 representing the final payment 
of royalty income from Orbit Semiconductor, Inc., pursuant to a Stock 
Purchase Agreement signed in November, 1991 and, in the prior period, 
$869,000 of insurance proceeds resulting from the death of the 
Company's former chief executive officer net of accrued costs to the 
officers estate.

     The Company did not record any tax benefit on the current pre-
tax loss because of the uncertainty of future realization.

Three month period ended September 30, 1996 v. September 30, 1995

     Consolidated net sales for the three month period ended 
September 30, 1996 increased to $4,798,000 from $1,851,000 from the 
comparable period of the prior year due principally to sales 
generated by the Company's new Behlman subsidiary and to increased 
sales recorded by the Orbit Instrument division.

     Net earnings from continuing operations for the three months 
ended September 30, 1996 increased to $741,000 from a loss of 
$401,000 from the comparable period of the prior year due principally 
to increased sales and earnings from the Orbit Instrument division, 
earnings from the new Behlman subsidiary and offset by lower 
investment and other income than the prior year.

     Gross profit, as a percentage of sales for the three months 
ended  September 30, 1996 increased to 44.8% from 29.3% from the 
comparable period of the prior year due to higher sales and greater 
efficiencies derived from the transition of the Behlman operation 
into the Company's facility.
<PAGE>
     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three 
months ended September 30, 1996 increased to $1,462,000 from 
$1,172,000 but decreased as a percentage of sales to 30.5% from 63.3% 
due to significantly increased sales and greater efficiencies derived 
from the Behlman acquisition.

	Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 1996 
decreased to $49,000 from $63,000 in the prior period due to a 
reduction in amounts owed during the period.

     Investment and other income for the three months ended September 
30, 1996 decreased to $102,000 from $292,000 from the prior period 
due to interest earned on higher cash balances in the prior period.

     The Company did not record any tax benefit on the current pre-
tax loss because of the uncertainty of future realization.


Liquidity, Capital Resources and Inflation:

     Working capital increased by $4,871,000 to $4,751,000 for the 
nine month period ended September 30, 1996 from a working capital 
deficit of $120,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 principally 
due to approximately $7,567,000 of long term restricted assets which 
were used either to reduce amounts owed under certain lending 
facilities or reclassified as short term due to the Company's 
adoption of a plan to dispose of its apparel segments.  The increase 
in working capital was offset by a net loss of approximately 
$1,620,000 incurred by the Company during the nine month period 
(exclusive of $3,801,000 of reserves taken on an expected loss on the 
disposal of the apparel segments) and by approximately $1,104,000 
related to the acquisition of Behlman which was allocated to 
goodwill.  The Company's working capital ratio at September 30, 1996 
was 1.3 to 1 compared to 1.0 to 1 at December 31, 1995.

     Assets held for sale and liabilities associated with assets held 
for sale (related to the discontinued Apparel Segments) decreased 
during the quarter due to the fulfillment of order backlog with the 
sale of inventory and the liquidation of certain marketable 
securities, both of which were used to reduce amounts owed under 
respective lending facilities.

  Under the Company's factoring arrangements related to the 
discontinued apparel segments, the Company has pledged marketable 
securities or provided standby letters of credit as security for its 
guarantees under these arrangements.  As of September 30, 1996, the 
Company has pledged approximately $590,000 in marketable securities 
and provided $3,000,000 in standby letters of credit (see Certain 
Material Trends).  Between January and September, 1996 the Company
<PAGE>
used approximately $7,577,000 of marketable securities to reduce the 
amount owed under two of the facilities.

     In February 1996, the Company, through a wholly-owned 
subsidiary, purchased from Astrosystems, Inc. substantially all of 
the assets of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Behlman and substantially 
all of the assets of its Military Electronics Division.  The purchase 
price of $3,750,000 was substantially funded by the Company's cash 
and a $500,000 bridge loan from BNY Financial Corporation ("BNY").  
In June, 1996, the Company completed a $2,000,000 Term Loan and 
$2,000,000 Revolving Credit facility with BNY.  The proceeds were 
used to pay off the bridge loan and to provide working capital for 
the Company's Electronic Segment.  The Term Loan is payable in 36 
monthly installments and bears interest at prime plus 1.50%.  The 
Revolving Credit facility bears interest at prime plus 1.0%.

     In March 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with the 
sellers of East/West whereby the purchase price for the assets under 
the asset purchase agreement dated July 1993 (the "Asset Purchase 
Agreement") was reduced from $15,000,000 to $8,850,000 plus other 
consideration.  Accordingly, the $8,000,000 promissory note to the 
sellers was reduced to $1,850,000.  The amended note is payable as 
follows:  (i) $500,000 paid upon the execution of the agreement, (ii) 
two $250,000 installments due July 1, 1996 (which has been paid) and 
January 1, 1997, respectively and (iii) $750,000 payable in quarterly 
installments over a five year period commencing March 31, 2002.

     The Company's existing capital resources, including its bank 
credit facilities, and its cash flow from operations are expected to 
be adequate to cover the Company's cash requirements for the 
foreseeable future.

     Inflation has not materially impacted the operations of the 
Company.


Certain Material Trends

    Despite continued profitability in 1996, the Company's Electronic 
Segment continues to face a difficult business environment with 
continuing pressure on the Company's prices for its sole source sales 
and a general reduction in the level of funding for the defense 
sector.  Based on current delivery schedules and as a result of the 
acquisition of Behlman, however, revenues for the Electronics Segment 
should increase from those levels recorded in the prior year although 
there can be no assurance that such increased revenues will actually 
be sustained.


<PAGE>
     The Company's Electronic Segment continues to seek new contracts 
which require up-front design, engineering, prototype and 
preproduction costs.  While the Segment attempts to negotiate 
contract awards for reimbursement of product development there is no 
assurance that sufficient monies will be set aside by the government 
for such effort.  In addition, even if the government agrees to 
reimburse development costs, there is still a significant risk of 
cost overrun which may not be reimbursable.  Furthermore, once the 
Company has completed the design and preproduction stage, there is no 
assurance that funding will be provided for future production.

    The Electronic Segment is heavily dependent upon military 
spending as a source of revenues and income.  World events have led 
the government of the United States to reevaluate the level of 
military spending necessary for national security.  Any significant 
reductions in the level of military spending by the Federal 
Government could have a negative impact on the Electronics Segment's 
future revenues and earnings.  The acquisition of Behlman, however, 
has given the Company some diversity with its commercial products 
subsidiary which is not affected by fluctuations in military 
spending.

     In August, 1996, the Company adopted a plan to dispose of its 
Apparel Segments. As part of its divestiture plan, the Company is 
seeking buyers to assume its guarantees under various lending 
arrangements and thereby relieving certain marketable securities and 
standby letters of credit pledged to secure such guarantees. As an 
alternative, the Company is also seeking to enter into exclusive 
licencing arrangements for the trademarks in the Apparel Segments.  
However, there is no assurance that the sales or licencing 
arrangements will be completed by the end of 1996 or the Company will 
be successful in relieving its guarantees under its lending 
arrangements
