Item 2.05

Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

As part of Orbit International Corp.’s (“Orbit”) efforts to reduce expenses, on October 10, 2013 Orbit decided to consolidate the operations of its Quakertown, Pennsylvania based subsidiaries into its Hauppauge, New York facility. All production, engineering and administrative functions currently performed at the Quakertown, Pennsylvania facility are expected to be transitioned into the Hauppauge, New York facility by June 30, 2014.
