                                 DESCRIPTION OF
                    2000 EXECUTIVE OFFICER BONUS ARRANGEMENT


     The Ducommun Incorporated 2000 Executive Officer Bonus Arrangement (the
"Arrangement") is designed to reward achievement of annual operating plan
objectives in order to build profitability and provide competitive compensation
levels. The Arrangement contains a formula-based incentive plan driven by sales,
net income, cash flow and return on asset performance in excess of established
thresholds. The participants in the Arrangement are the five Ducommun corporate
officers and five subsidiary presidents.

     The Arrangement provides for bonus awards ranging from 0 to 100% of annual
base salary depending on position. The targeted bonus award under the
Arrangement is half of the maximum bonus eligibility for each individual. Bonus
awards are based on a combination of total corporate performance and on
individual performance of executive officers. The subsidiary presidents are also
measured based upon the financial performance of their operating units. All
awards are subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors.
