                                PROXY STATEMENT
 
                         ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
 
                          TO BE HELD DECEMBER 1, 1995
 
     This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of
proxies by the Board of Directors of NETWORKS ELECTRONIC CORP., a California
corporation, (the "Company") for use at the 1995 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
to be held at the Summerfield Suites Hotel, 21902 Lassen Street, Chatsworth,
California 91311, at 2:30 p.m., Los Angeles time, on December 1, 1995 and any
adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof, for the purposes set forth herein and
in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Accompanying this
Proxy Statement is the Board of Directors' Proxy for the Annual Meeting, which
you may use to indicate your vote as to the proposal described in this Proxy
Statement.
 
     All Proxies which are properly completed, signed and returned to the
Company prior to the Annual Meeting, and which have not been revoked, will be
voted as indicated on the proposals described in this Proxy Statement unless
otherwise directed. A stockholder may revoke his or her Proxy at any time before
it is voted either by filing with the Secretary of the Company, at its principal
executive offices, a written notice of revocation or a duly executed Proxy
bearing a later date, or by attending the Annual Meeting and expressing a desire
to vote his or her shares in person.
 
     The close of business on October 21, 1995 has been fixed as the record date
for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the
Annual Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. At the record
date, 1,596,221 shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.25 per share,
were outstanding. The Common Stock is the only outstanding class of securities
entitled to vote at the meeting. At the record date, the Company had
approximately 984 stockholders of record. The Company estimates that there are
approximately 2,000 beneficial holders of the Company's Common Stock. A
stockholder is entitled to cast one vote for each share of Common Stock held on
the record date (each a "Share") on all matters to be considered at the Annual
Meeting. Abstentions and shares held by brokers that are prohibited from
exercising discretionary authority will be counted as present for the purposes
of determining if a quorum is present but will not be counted as voting.
 
     The Company's principal executive offices are located at 9750 De Soto
Avenue, Chatsworth, California, 91311 and its telephone number is (818)
341-0440. This Proxy Statement and the accompanying Proxy were mailed to all
stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting on or about November 1,
1995.
 
                               CUMULATIVE VOTING
 
     In voting for directors, a shareholder is entitled to five votes for each
share of common stock held, one for each of five directors. A stockholder may
cast his votes evenly for all directors or may cumulate such votes and cast same
for one nominee or distribute same among two or more nominees.
 
                       NOMINEES FOR ELECTION AS DIRECTORS
 
     The proxy holders intend to cast all votes pursuant to the authorizing
proxies received by them for the election as directors, of the five nominees
listed below. Directors so elected will hold office until December 1, 1996, or
until their successors are elected and qualified. Such proxy holders reserve the
right, however, to vote such proxies cumulatively and for the election of less
than all of the nominees for directors but do not intend to do so unless
nominees other nominees other than those named herein are nominated at the
meeting. In the event any of the five nominees for directors shall become
unavailable for election, it is the intention of the proxy holders to vote for
an alternate nominee who will be designated by management. The Company has no
reason to believe that any nominee will be unwilling or unable to serve if
elected as a director.

     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's
executive officers, directors and persons who own more than ten percent of a
registered class of the Company's equity securities to file reports of ownership
and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
Executive officers, directors, and greater-than-ten percent stockholders are
required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section
16(a) forms they file. Based solely on its review
 
                                        4

of the copies of such forms received by it and written representations from
certain reporting persons that they have complied with the relevant filing
requirements, the Company believes that, during the year ended June 30, 1995,
all relevant Section 16(a) filing requirements were complied with, except that
(1) Mr. Wachtel, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Ms. Ileana Wachtel,
Director, and Mr. Tabassi, Vice President, Rodica Patrichi, Director, Edwin
Turner, Director, Barry Bartholomew, Director, and the Mihai D. Patrichi Trust
filed late reports of initial beneficial ownership on Form 3; and (2) Mr.
Wachtel filed one late report with respect to the grant to him of 75,000 shares
of Common Stock and (3) each of Messrs. Turner and Tabassi filed late reports
with respect to their respective option grants of 500 shares of Common Stock.
 
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS WITH MANAGEMENT
 
     During the year ended June 30, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors
awarded 75,000 fully vested stock options to its chief executive officer,
exercisable at a price of $.1875 per share. The exercise price corresponded to
the mid-point of the closing bid and ask price of the Company's common stock on
the date of grant, which was November 1, 1994.
 
     In January 1995, the Company received a $152,000 loan from a principal
shareholder, the Mihai D. Patrichi Trust, secured by specific machinery and
equipment. The loan is being repaid in equal monthly principal installments of
$4,222 (plus interest at 10%) over a three year period. A loan fee of $2,000 was
charged to consummate the transaction, and interest paid on the note through
June 30, 1995 amounted to $6,230.
 
     During each of the years ended June 30, 1994, 1993, respectively, Mihai D.
Patrichi, the Company's former president, charged the Company $3,000 for the use
of space in his home to exclusively conduct Company business.
 
     The Company has an employment agreement with David Wachtel, its President
and Chief Executive Officer. The agreement provides for minimum annual
compensation of $150,000 for a period of three years. The Company previously had
an employment agreement with Mihai D. Patrichi, the Company's Founder, and
former President and Chief Executive Officer, who passed away in November 1994.
The agreement provided for minimum compensation of $180,000 per year until the
end of Mr. Patrichi's life. However, effective September 1994, Mr. Patrichi took
a salary reduction to $153,000 per year as a condition of the Company's chapter
11 reorganization plan. The Board of Directors has also agreed to pay all
medical and dental insurance premiums for its corporate officers, plus the
deductible expense portions operative under the respective plans.
 
     Prior to the year ended June 30, 1995, the Company from time to time
advanced funds to Mihai D. Patrichi at an annual interest rate of 7%. The total
receivable at June 30, 1995 (with accrued interest) amounted to $27,228,
including unpaid advances outstanding from prior years of $25,370. Interest
earned on this receivable amounted to $1,781, $1,773, and $1,280 for the fiscal
years ended June 30, 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.

                             PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS
 
     The following table sets forth as of October 27, 1995 certain information
relating to the ownership of the Company Common Stock by (i) each person known
by the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding
shares of the Company Common Stock, (ii) each of the Company's directors, (iii)
each of the Company's Named Officers, and (iv) all of the Company's executive
officers and directors as a group. Except as may be indicated in the footnotes
to the table and subject to applicable community property laws, each of such
persons has the sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares
owned. Beneficial ownership has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3
under the Exchange Act. Under this Rule, certain shares may be deemed to be
beneficially owned by more than one person (such as where persons share voting
power or investment power). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially
owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for
example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the
information is provided; in computing the percentage ownership of any person,
the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares
beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these
acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any
person as shown in the following table does not necessarily reflect the person's
actual voting power at any particular date.
