Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On April 12, 2006, Reliability Incorporated ("the Company") entered into a real estate purchase agreement with Fuller Realty Partners, LLC ("Fuller") under which Fuller will acquire the Company's Houston headquarters building. There are no material relationships between the Company and Fuller.

Terms of the agreement call for a "feasibility period" (as defined in the agreement) of 30 days during which Fuller may inspect and perform due diligence procedures with respect to the property. The purchaser may elect to terminate the agreement at any time during this 30-day feasibility period. After this period, the purchaser would forfeit $100,000 of earnest money to the Company, should it elect not to proceed with the transaction. The agreement also subjects both parties to various conditions that must be met prior to closing that are usual and customary in such real estate transactions.

Net proceeds are expected to be approximately $3.9 million and will be used to pay off the Company's term debt and line of cr edit and to fund operations. The closing is expected to occur in late May 2006.

 
 
Item 2.05.    Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
 
On April 11, 2006, as a result of a significant decrease in projected volumes, the Company made a determination to close its Services Division. This action will result in employee termination costs and may result in other costs such as lease termination costs and other costs to wind down its operations. At this time, the Company is unable in good faith to determine estimates (i) for each major type of cost associated with the action, the total amount or range of amounts expected to be incurred, (ii) the total amount or range of amounts expected to be incurred in connection with the action, or (iii) the amount or range of amounts of the charge that will result in future cash expenditures. The Division will continue to process customer devices through early May, at which time it will terminate substantially all of its 56 Singapore-based employees. Certain administrative employees will remain with the Division for a period of time to wind down its operations.
