Orbit International's Power Units Segment Receives Development Orders in Support of F-16 Program Totaling $340,000; Follow on Orders Could Add $400K to $750K Annually

Business Wire, Sept 7, 2006

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y. -- Orbit International Corp. (NASDAQ:ORBT), an electronics manufacturer and supplier, today announced that its Power Units Segment, Behlman Electronics, Inc. ("Behlman") has received two new development orders in support of the F-16 program totaling $340,000. Deliveries under these contracts are expected to commence in the first quarter of 2007 and continue through the fourth quarter of 2007.

The first order is for the development of a power supply used in the F-16 Field Transportable Improved Avionics Intermediate Shop (IAIS) system which is used to test all the avionic units on the F-16. Behlman was chosen to develop a replacement for the existing power source which had become both a reliability and supportability issue for the U.S. Air Force. Based on current forecasts, approximately five (5) to seven (7) new systems are expected to be built per year over the next five (5) to ten (10) years which equates to approximately $100,000 to $150,000 per year. These amounts do not include additional units that may be procured to support systems already in the field.

The second order is for a COTS replacement unit used in the F-16 Expanded Enhanced Fire Control Computer (EEFCC). The current power supply had been the cause of unacceptable support problems for the U.S. Air Force and Behlman was chosen to build a new COTS replacement, perform qualification testing and prepare logistical support documentation. Behlman had previously built two units which have successfully passed initial system testing. Once the remaining tests are completed, management anticipates that fifty (50) to one hundred (100) units will be procured per year in the foreseeable future equaling approximately $300,000 to $600,000 per year.

Dennis Sunshine, President and Chief Executive Officer of Orbit International Corp., commented, "We are pleased to receive these two new development orders in support of the F-16 program as it further expands our presence on U.S. Air Force programs in addition to our presence on numerous key programs for the U.S. Navy. This is part of Behlman's business plan of leveraging its standard products to pursue programs with custom power requirements which has been a key element of its revenue and earnings growth over the past several years. We remain confident that we can continue to provide COTS solutions for the U.S. military that will lead to continued business in the coming years."
