ITEM - II

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


Results of Operations  

Three month period ended  March 31, 1998 v. March 31, 1997

	 The Company currently operates in two industry segments.  Its 
Orbit Instrument Division is engaged in the design and manufacture of 
electronic components and subsystems (the "Electronics Segment").  Its 
Behlman subsidiary is engaged in the design and manufacture of 
commercial power units (the "Power Units Segment").

	Consolidated net sales for the three month period ended March 31, 
1998 increased to $4,285,000 from $3,970,000 for the three month period 
ended March 31, 1997 due principally to increased sales from the 
Company's Electronics Segment offset by decreased sales from the 
Company's Power Units Segment.

	Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, for the three month period  
ended March 31, 1998 increased to 41.4% from 40.2% for the three month 
period ended March 31, 1997 due principally to higher sales from the 
Electronics Segment which has slightly higher gross margins.

	Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three month 
period ended March 31, 1998 increased to $1,317,000 from $1,227,000 for  
the  three month period ended March 31, 1997 due principally to higher 
selling, general and administrative costs incurred by the Electronics 
Segment due to increased selling and marketing efforts. Selling, 
general and administrative expenses, as percentage of sales   for the 
three month period ended March 31, 1998, slightly decreased to 30.7% 
from 30.9% for the comparable period in 1997.

	Interest expense for the  three month period ended March 31, 1998 
increased to $95,000 from $40,000 for the three month period ended     
March 31, 1997 due to interest recorded in the current period by the 
Company related to a certain debt obligation of the discontinued 
apparel operations.

	Investment and other income for the three month period ended          
March 31, 1998 slightly increased to $107,000 from $81,000 for the 
three month period ended March 31, 1997.

	Net income for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 
increased to $471,000 from $409,000 for the three month period ended 
March 31, 1997 due principally to higher sales and gross profit 
recorded by the Company's Electronics Segment.	


Liquidity, Capital Resources and Inflation:
 
     Working capital was $7,436,000 at March 31, 1998 compared to 
$7,403,000 at December 31, 1997. The ratio of current assets to current 
liabilities slightly decreased to 2.1 to 1 at March 31, 1998 from 2.2 
to 1 at December 31, 1997.

	  Net cash flows provided by operations for the three months ended 
March 31, 1998 was approximately $1,033,000 primarily attributable to 
the net income for the period and an increase in accounts payable and 
customer advances, which was partially offset by an increase in 
inventory.  Cash flows used in investing activities for the three 
months ended March 31, 1998 totaled approximately $247,000 primarily 
attributable to the net purchases of marketable securities.  Cash flows 
used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 1998 
totaled approximately $579,000 primarily attributable to repayments of 
long term debt and a decrease in amounts due to factor.

      All operations of the discontinued apparel companies have been 
terminated.  All losses and obligations of these apparel operations 
have been provided for, and accordingly, the Company does not 
anticipate using any significant portion of its resources towards these 
discontinued apparel operations.

    During the first  quarter of 1998, the Company received a 
commitment from a new lender for a $4,000,000 Mortgage and Term Loan 
facility and a $1,000,000 line of credit.  The agreement is expected to 
close in July, 1998 and will replace the Company's existing asset based 
lending arrangement.

     Under the Company's factoring arrangement for its discontinued 
Canadian apparel operations, the Company has provided a standby letter 
of credit as security for its guaranty under this lending facility, 
collaterallized by marketable securities.  As of March  31, 1998, the 
Company had provided approximately $74,000 in a standby letter of 
credit which was reduced to $63,000 in May, 1998 due to the paydown of 
amounts owed to the factor.

     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 1997 and through the first 
quarter of 1998, the Company 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 Company 
should be sustained at the levels recorded in 1997.

	 The Company continues to seek new contracts which require 
incurring up-front design, engineering, prototype and preproduction 
costs.  While the Company attempts to negotiate contract awards for 
reimbursement of product development, there is no assurance that 
sufficient monies will be set aside by its customers, including the 
U. S. Government, for such effort.  In addition, even if the U. S. 
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 Company is heavily dependent upon military spending as a 
source of revenues and income.  World events have led the U. S. 
Government to reevaluate the level of military spending necessary for 
national security.  Any significant reductions in the level of military 
spending by the U. S. Government could have a negative impact on the 
Company's future revenues and earnings.  In addition, due to major 
consolidations in the defense industry, it has become more difficult to 
avoid dependence on certain customers for revenue and income.  
Behlman's line of commercial products gives the Company some diversity 
and the Instrument Division is beginning to introduce certain of its 
products into commercial markets.

	 In December 1997, the Company retained OEM Capital Corp ("OEM"), 
an investment banking firm specializing in the electronics, 
communications and computer industries, to assist the Company in 
identifying viable acquisition opportunities.  Although the Company is 
committed to enhancing its sales and profitability through strategic 
acquisitions as well as through internal growth, there is no guarantee 
that OEM will present acquisition candidates that will ultimately 
result in a transaction for the Company.

	 The Company has developed a plan to modify its information 
technology systems to recognize the Year 2000, including the purchase 
of a new manufacturing software package, and has begun converting its 
critical data processing systems.  The Company expects the project to 
be completed by the end of 1998 and to cost between approximately 
$100,000 and $150,000.  This estimate includes the price of new 
software and internal costs but excludes the costs to upgrade and 
replace systems in the normal course of business as well as potential 
costs for outside consultants to assist the Company in the 
implementation of a new software package.  The Company does  not expect 
this project to have a material effect on its operations in 1998 and 
did not expend any significant amount of money on this project for the 
three months ended March 31, 1998.  The Company has also initiated 
discussions with its significant suppliers, large customers and 
financial institutions to ensure that these parties have appropriate 
plans to remediate Year 2000 issues where their systems interface with 
Company systems or otherwise impact its operations.  The Company is 
assessing the extent to which its operations are vulnerable should 
these organizations fail to properly remediate their computer systems.

	  While the Company intends to use diligent efforts and care to 
implement the plan set forth above and to take any other necessary 
steps with regard to its information technology systems to prepare for 
the Year 2000, there is no assurance that such steps will effectively 
accomplish such goal.  Furthermore, any failure on the part of the 
Company's primary suppliers, service providers and customers to adapt 
their respective information technology systems to recognize the Year 
2000 could adversely impact the Company.

PART II


OTHER INFORMATION




Item 1.	Legal Proceedings

Bozena M. Konefal v. Astrosystems, Inc. and Orbit International Corp.:

On April 17, 1998, Bozena Konefal, a former employee of Astrosystems, 
Inc. commenced an action in United States District Court in the Eastern 
District of New York, claiming sexual discrimination and creation of a 
hostile work environment by the defendants. The plaintiff is seeking 
recovery of lost wages and employment benefits and $1,650,000 from each 
defendant for compensatory damages, punitive damages, mental anguish 
and negligence.  The Company has been granted an extension to June 11, 
1998 to answer the complaint. Since this action is in its preliminary 
stage, the Company is unable to estimate a range of loss, if any, at 
the present time and accordingly, the Company cannot predict with any 
certainty the impact of this action of the Company's financial 
condition.  The Company believes there are no merits to this claim and 
intends to vigorously defend this action.
