In the coming year, the Board anticipates that it will consider the possibility of expanding the size of the Board.

During the Corporation's last fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, the Board of Directors held nine meetings. Each incumbent director attended all meetings, except Messrs. Link and Cameron, who attended seven meetings and four meetings respectively. The Corporation's current policy regarding compensation of directors is to pay $4,000 per annum plus $400 for each Board meeting attended. No payments for services as a director during fiscal year 2005 were made to John H.D. Dewey (who received compensation as an officer of the Corporation). Annual compensation of $25,000 was paid to Frances D. Dewey as Chairperson of the Board, in lieu of the directors fees described above. In December 2001, stockholders approved a Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors under which options exercisable for a total of 50,000 shares of Common Stock may be granted. To date, no options have been granted under this plan, which is administered by the Board. The Board has a Stock Option Committee which is composed of Messrs. Cameron and Roberts. The Committee administers the 1998 Stock Option Plan of the Corporation. One meeting was held during the last fiscal year; all members attended. The Board also has an Executive Compensation Committee composed of Messrs. Roberts, Cameron, Dewey and Link. The Committee administers executive compensation and held one meeting during the last fiscal year; all members attended the meeting.

No payments for serving on this Committee were made to John H.D. Dewey (who received compensation as an officer of the Corporation). The Board does not have a nominating committee or an audit committee. Executive Officers In addition to John H. D. Dewey (see "Information Concerning Directors and Nominees" above), the Corporation's executive officers are: Thom A. Velto, age 56, who has been Treasurer of the Corporation since February 1990; Edward L.

Velto 5,000 -- $14,460 -- Option Grants in Last Fiscal Year The Corporation did not grant any stock options to its executive officers during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. Retirement Benefits The Corporation has a non-contributory pension plan for all active employees, under which, in general, employees with 25 or more years of service can receive 20% of their average monthly earnings (based on earnings during the five years preceding retirement) up to a specified maximum of $850 per month for life assuming normal retirement at age 65 and vested employees with lesser service receive lesser amounts. Upon the employee's death, 50% of the monthly benefit is payable to the employee's spouse for life. Mrs. Dewey receives survivor's benefits of $602 per month but does not otherwise participate in the pension plan. The Corporation's executive officers will receive the monthly maximum amount of $850 at retirement, based upon current compensation levels and assuming normal retirement at age 65. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions During 1988, Gordon C. Dewey, the Corporation's co-founder, lent the Corporation a total of $200,000. The loans, which are unsecured, provide for the payment of interest at the fixed rate of 9%. The loans are repayable upon demand by Frances D. Dewey, his widow. Insurance Arrangements The Corporation has insurance coverage under which its directors and officers (as well as the Corporation) are indemnified under certain circumstances with respect to litigation and other costs and liabilities arising out of actual or alleged misconduct of such directors and officers. The Corporation pays all premiums to the insurer, the Federal Insurance Company of the Chubb Group of Insurance Companies. Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, based solely on a review of copies of reports furnished to the Corporation or written representations that no other reports were required, the Corporation believes that all filing requirements under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 applicable to its executive officers and directors were complied with. Certain Corporate Governance Matters Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. The Corporation has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of its directors, officers and employees. A copy of the code is available, free of charge, upon written request to the Corporate Secretary, The Dewey Electronics Corporation, at the Corporation's executive offices. Any substantive amendments to the code and any grant of a waiver from a provision of the code requiring disclosure under applicable SEC rules will be disclosed in a report on Form 8-K. Stockholder Communications with the Board of Directors. The Corporation's Board of Directors has adopted the following policy by which stockholders may communicate with the Board or with individual directors or Board committees. The communication should be in writing, addressed to the Board or applicable committee or directors, c/o Corporate Secretary, The Dewey Electronics Corporation, at the Corporation's executive offices. The Corporate Secretary will review all such correspondence received and will periodically, at least quarterly, forward to the applicable directors a summary of all such correspondence together with copies of correspondence that the Corporate Secretary believes should be seen in its entirety. Correspondence or summaries will be forwarded to the applicable directors on an expedited basis where the Corporate Secretary deems it appropriate. Communications raising concerns related to the Corporation's accounting, internal controls, or auditing matters will be immediately brought to the attention of those members of the Board of Directors who are responsible for the oversight of the Corporation's accounting and financial reporting practices (currently, the entire Board of Directors). Directors may at any time review a log of correspondence received by the Corporation that is addressed to the director (or to the full Board or a Board committee on which he or she serves) and may request copies of any such correspondence. The Corporation believes that it is important for directors to directly hear concerns expressed by stockholders. Accordingly, it is the Corporation's policy that Board members are expected to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders absent a compelling commitment that prevents such attendance. All of the members of the Board of Directors at the time of the 2004 Annual Meeting attended such meeting. Director Nominations. The candidates for election as directors at the annual meeting have been nominated by the Board. The Corporation does not have a nominating committee; the Board believes that it is desirable for such decisions to be made by the entire Board. Recently implemented SEC rules require that the Corporation disclose whether members of the Board of Directors who are responsible for the nominating function are "independent", as that term is defined in stock exchange or Nasdaq rules. Although the Corporation's shares do not trade on Nasdaq, if the Nasdaq definition of "independence" were to apply, Alexander A. Cameron, LTG James M. Link and Nathaniel Roberts would be "independent" directors for these purposes and John H.D. Dewey and Frances D. Dewey would not be "independent" directors for these purposes. In evaluating director candidates for purposes of recommending director candidates to the Board, the Board will consider the following factors: the candidate's moral character and personal integrity; whether the candidate has expertise and experience relevant to the Corporation's business; whether the candidate's expertise and experience complements the expertise and experience of the other directors; whether the candidate would be independent of any particular constituency and able to represent the interests of all stockholders of the Corporation; the congeniality of the candidate with the other directors; whether the candidate would have sufficient time available to devote to Board activities; and any other factors deemed relevant by the Board. John B. Rhodes, a nominee for director, was recommended to the Board for consideration as a nominee by the Chairperson of the Board. The Board will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders of the Corporation. Stockholders may recommend an individual for consideration by submitting to the Board the name of the individual, his or her background (including education and employment history), a statement of the particular skills and expertise that the candidate would bring to the Board, the name, address and number of shares of the Corporation beneficially owned by the stockholder submitting the recommendation, any relationship or interest between such stockholder and the proposed candidate, and any additional information that would be required under applicable SEC rules to be included in the Corporation's proxy statement if such proposed candidate were to be nominated as a director. Such submissions should be addressed to the Board of Directors c/o Corporate Secretary, at the Corporation's executive offices. In order for a candidate to be considered for any annual meeting, the submission must be received by the Corporation no later than the May 15 preceding such annual meeting. The Corporation anticipates that its next annual meting will be held in December 2006 (the month when it typically holds its annual meetings). The Board will evaluate the biographical information and background material relating to each potential candidate and may seek additional information from the submitting stockholder, the potential candidate, and/or other sources. The Board may hold interviews with selected candidates. Individuals recommended by stockholders will be considered under the same factors as individuals recommended by other sources. "Audit Committee Financial Expert." The Corporation does not have an "audit committee financial expert" serving on its Board of Directors, as that term is defined by SEC rules. The Board believes that the directors collectively have sufficient knowledge of financial and auditing matters to effectively oversee the Corporation's accounting and financial reporting practices. Furthermore, the Board has the power to engage experts or consultants as it deems appropriate to carry out its responsibilities. INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS The principal accountant selected by the Board of Directors for the Corporation's current fiscal year is Deloitte & Touche LLP. It is expected that a representative of Deloitte & Touche LLP will be present at the annual meeting of stockholders with the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and to respond to appropriate questions. Fees Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed by Deloitte & Touche LLP for professional services rendered to the Corporation for the audit of the Corporation's annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 and reviews of the financial statements included in the Corporation's Forms 10-Q for such year were $95,000. Such fees for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 were $85,000. Tax Fees. The aggregate fees billed by Deloitte & Touche LLP for tax services rendered to the Corporation during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 were $2,265 and $3,470 for fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. Such services consisted of research for tax planning. Audit-Related Fees; All Other Fees. Deloitte & Touche LLP did not render any other services to the Corporation for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004. Audit Report The Board does not have an audit committee. The Board as a whole is responsible for the oversight of the Corporation's accounting and financial reporting practices. Management is responsible for preparing the Corporation's financial statements and the independent auditors are responsible for auditing those statements. In discharging its oversight responsibility, the Board (1) reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements of the Corporation at and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 with management, (2) received from the independent auditors in writing the matters required to be communicated by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, (3) received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by the Independence Standards Board's Standard No. 1 and (4) discussed with the independent auditors the matters referred to in Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 and the auditors' independence from the Corporation. Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Board included the Corporation's audited financial statements in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Submitted by the Board of Directors, Alexander A. Cameron Frances D. Dewey John H.D. Dewey LTG James M. Link (USA Ret) Nathaniel Roberts STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS Any proposals of stockholders which are intended to be presented at the Corporation's next annual meeting of stockholders must be received by the Corporation for inclusion in the Corporation's proxy statement and form of proxy relating to such meeting not later than June 30, 2006.

DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY While the notice of annual meeting of stockholders calls for transaction of such other business as may come before the meeting, management has no knowledge of any matters to be presented for action by the stockholders other than as set forth above.
