comprised of three independent directors and operates under a written charter,
adopted by the Board on May 13, 2005, which is attached as Exhibit A to this
Proxy Statement.2005.

discussed the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal

required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61,

reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors
required by Independence Standard No.1, Independence Discussions with Audit

statements referred to above be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form

NOMINATING COMMITTEE

The Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Nominating
Committee") is comprised of three independent directors and operates under a
written charter, which was most recently filed with the SEC as Exhibit B to the
Company's Proxy Statement for its Annual Meeting held on November 12, 2004. A
copy of the charter is available on the Company's website, www.espey.com, under
-------------
the tab "Investors" by requesting a copy of an SEC report and then clicking on

The Nominating Committee will review the present needs of the Board and
establish criteria as to particular qualifications in terms of background and
experience that could meet such needs. At a minimum, the Nominating Committee
believes that nominees for Directors should have either experience in the
industry in which the Company engages or professional, business or academic
qualifications that differ from existing members of the Board and could augment
the aggregate expertise possessed by Board members. The Company further believes
that all nominees should be able to make a contribution to the Board that will
enhance the development and growth of the Company business and shareholder
value; devote adequate time to service as a Director; and work well with other
Board members in a collegial manner.

The Nominating Committee evaluates prospective nominees identified on its
own initiative or referred to it by other Board members, management,
shareholders or external sources and all self nominated candidates. The
Nominating Committee uses the same criteria for evaluating candidates nominated
by shareholders and self nominated as it does for those proposed by other Board
members, management and search companies.

The Nominating Committee will consider bona fide recommendations by
shareholders as to potential Director nominees, who meet the above standards. A
shareholders wishing to submit such a recommendation should send a letter,
postmarked no

7
later than 120 days prior to the date on which the Company annual meeting was
held during the prior year, to the Secretary of the Company. The letter must
identify its writer as a shareholders of the Company, provide evidence of the
writer's stock ownership and provide:

o The name, address, telephone number and social security number of the
candidate to be considered;

o A description of understandings, contractual, business or familial
relationships between the shareholders and the candidate, if any, and
an unexecuted written consent of the candidate to serve as a director
of the Company, if nominated and elected;

o The candidate's resume and at least three references;

o A statement of the candidate's qualifications to serve on the Board of
Directors and specified Board committees which shall include an
explanation as to how elements of the candidate's background and
experience would be a benefit to the Company and its business.

All candidates recommended to the Nominating Committee must meet the
independence standards of the American Stock Exchange and the definition of
"independent director" in the Company by-laws.

All nominees for election at this Annual Meeting were previously elected by
the shareholders and are standing for re-election.

installments of principal and the unpaid balance will bear interest at a fixed
rate of 6.25% per annum, the "prime rate" as quoted in The Wall Street Journal

purchase price per share equal to a 5% discount on the average trading price of
the common stock on the American Stock Exchange on the date before closing, but
in no event greater than the fair market value of the stock as determined by the
ESOP trustees, in reliance upon a "fairness opinion" from an independent
valuation firm retained by the ESOP.

Each year, the Company makes contributions to the ESOP which are used to
make loan interest and principal payments to the Company. Following each payment
of principal on the loan, a portion of the unallocated shares held by the ESOP
are allocated to participants. Officers of the Company, including Howard Pinsley
who is also Chairman of the Board, are eligible to participate in the ESOP and
to have shares and cash allocated to their accounts and distributed to them in
accordance with the terms of the ESOP.

APPENDIX A Exhibit A

ESPEY MFG. & ELECTRONICS CORP.
AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER
-----------------------

Purpose

The primary purpose of the Audit Committee (the "Committee") is to assist
the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. (the
"Company") in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by

o Overseeing management's conduct of the Company's financial reporting
process and systems of internal accounting and financial controls;

o Monitoring the independence and performance of the Company's outside
auditors; and

o Providing an avenue of communication among the outside auditors,
management and the Board.

In discharging its oversight role, the Committee is empowered to
investigate any related matter brought to its attention with full access to all
books, records, facilities and personnel of the Company and the power to retain
outside counsel, auditors or other experts for this purpose.

The Committee shall review the adequacy of this Charter on an annual
basis, and recommend to the Board any necessary amendments.

Membership and Meetings

The Committee is appointed by the Board and shall be comprised of not less
than three members at all times, each of whom must be independent of management
and the Company and otherwise meet the requirements of applicable American Stock
Exchange rules and regulations.

Accordingly, all of the members will be directors:

1. Who have no material relationship to the Company that may interfere
with the exercise of their independence from management and the
Company; and

2. Who are financially literate or who become financially literate
within a reasonable period of time after appointment to the
Committee. In addition, at least one member of the Committee will
have such accounting or related financial management expertise in
order to qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" in
compliance with the criteria established by the SEC.

The Board shall name a chair of the Committee, who shall be responsible
for preparing an agenda in advance of each meeting. A majority of the members of
the Committee shall constitute a quorum. The Committee shall maintain minutes or
other records of its activities, and shall report to the full Board concerning
its activities.

The Committee shall meet as frequently as circumstances dictate, but no
less than four times annually. As part of its job to foster open communication,
the Committee should meet at least annually separately with each of management
and the outside auditors to discuss any matters that the Committee believes
should be discussed privately.

Key Responsibilities

The Committee's job is one of oversight and it recognizes that the
Company's management is responsible for preparing the Company's financial
statements and that the outside auditors are responsible for auditing those
financial statements. Additionally, the Committee recognizes that financial
management, including the internal accounting and audit staff, as well as the
outside auditors, have more time, knowledge and more detailed information on the
Company than do Committee members; consequently, in carrying out its oversight
responsibilities, the Committee is not providing any expert or special assurance
as to the Company's financial statements or any professional certification as to
the outside auditor's work.

The following functions shall be the common recurring activities of the
Committee in carrying out its oversight function. The Committee shall:

o Review with management and the outside auditors the Company's
audited financial statements, review and consider with the outside
auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement of
Auditing Standards ("SAS") No. 61, and determine whether to
recommend to the Board that the financial statements be included in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K to be filed with the SEC
(or the Annual Report to Shareholders if distributed prior to the
filing of Form 10-K).

A-1

o Review with management and the outside auditors the Company's
interim financial results to be included in the Company's quarterly
reports on Form 10-Q, prior to their filing with the SEC, and the
matters required to be discussed by SAS No. 61.

o Review the independence of the outside auditors and in connection
therewith:

(i) request from the outside auditors annually, a formal written
statement delineating all relationships between the auditor
and the Company consistent with Independence Standards Board
Standard Number 1;

(ii) discuss with the outside auditors any such disclosed
relationships and their impact on the outside auditors
independence; and

(iii) recommend that the Board take appropriate action, if
necessary, to oversee the independence of the outside
auditors.

o Review and evaluate the proposals submitted by prospective auditors
and recommend appointment of the Company's outside auditors and the
Board's submission of their appointment to the shareholders for
ratification.

o Oversee the work performed by the Company's outside auditors,
evaluate the performance of such auditors and discharge such
auditors if circumstances warrant.

o Review and pre-approve any non-audit services to be performed by the
independent outside auditors.

o In consultation with management and the outside auditors, review the
integrity of the Company's financial reporting processes and the
internal control structure (including disclosure controls and
internal control over financial reporting).

o Review potential conflicts of interest involving members of the
Board and management and review and approve all related-party
transactions, defined as those transactions required to be disclosed
under Item 404 of Regulation S-K.

o Establish procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of
complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or
auditing matters and procedures for the confidential, anonymous
submission by Company employees of any concerns related to the
Company's ethics policies, legal issues and accounting or audit
matters.

o Prepare an annual report containing the information prescribed by
the SEC for inclusion in the Company's proxy statement in connection
with the annual meeting of shareholders.
