NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. The consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of income
and consolidated statements of cash flows are unaudited as of and for
the three months and six months ended June 28, 1997 and June 29,
1996. The financial information included in the quarterly report
should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated
financial statements and the related notes thereto included in its
annual report to shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1996.
Note 2. Certain amounts and disclosures included in the consolidated
financial statements required management to make estimates which
could differ from actual results.
Note 3. Earnings per common share computations are based on the weighted
average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding in
each period. Common equivalent shares represent the number of shares
which would be issued assuming the exercise of dilutive stock
options, reduced by the number of shares which would be purchased
with the proceeds from the exercise of such options.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128").
SFAS 128 establishes new standards for computing and presenting earnings per
share ("EPS"), and supersedes APB Opinion No. 15, "Earnings Per Share." SFAS
128 replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS.
It also requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the
income statement for all entities with complex capital structures, and requires
a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation
to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. SFAS 128
becomes effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 1997. Pro
forma EPS for the second quarter of 1997 and 1996, and the first six months of
1997 and 1996, assuming the application of SFAS 128 are as follows:

Note 4. Acquisition
In June 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
MechTronics of Arizona, Inc. ("MechTronics") for $8,000,000 in cash
and a $750,000 note. The Company may be required to make additional
payments through 1999, based on the future financial performance of
MechTronics. MechTronics is a leading manufacturer of mechanical and
electromechanical enclosure products for the defense electronics,
commercial aviation and communications markets. The acquisition of
MechTronics was accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. The consolidated statements of income include the
operating results for MechTronics since the date of the acquisition.

In June 1997, the Company amended its bank credit agreement to provide
for a $40,000,000 unsecured revolving credit line with an expiration
date of July 1, 1999. The amended credit agreement replaced the
Company's prior credit agreement which provided for a $21,000,000
unsecured revolving credit line. Interest is payable monthly on the
outstanding borrowings based on the bank's prime rate (8.50% at June
28, 1997) minus 0.25%. A Eurodollar pricing option is also available
to the Company for terms of up to six months at the Eurodollar rate
plus a spread based on the leverage ratio of the Company calculated at
the end of each fiscal quarter (1.00% at June 28, 1997). At June 28,
1997, the Company had $37,333,000 of unused lines of credit, after
deducting $2,325,000 of loans outstanding and $342,000 for an
outstanding standby letter of credit which supports the estimated
post-closure maintenance cost of a former surface impoundment. The
credit agreement includes fixed charge coverage and maximum leverage
ratios, and limitations on future dividend payments and outside
indebtedness.
The carrying amount of long-term debt approximates fair value based on
the terms of the related debt and estimates using interest rates
currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and
remaining maturities.
Note 6. Contingencies
Ducommun's subsidiary, Aerochem, Inc. ("Aerochem"), is a major
supplier of chemical milling services for the aerospace industry.
Aerochem has been directed by California environmental agencies to
investigate and take corrective action for groundwater contamination
at its El Mirage, California facility (the "Site"). Aerochem expects
to spend approximately $1 million for future investigation and
corrective action at the Site, and the Company has established a
provision for such costs. However, the Company's ultimate liability
in connection with the Site will depend upon a number of factors,
including changes in existing laws and regulations, and the design and
cost of the construction, operation and maintenance of the correction
action.
In the normal course of business, Ducommun and its subsidiaries are
defendants in certain other litigation, claims and inquiries,
including matters relating to environmental laws. In addition, the
Company makes various commitments and incurs contingent liabilities.
While it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these matters, the
Company does not presently expect that any sum it may be required to
pay in connection with these matters would have a material adverse
effect on its consolidated financial position or results of
operations.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
The interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of the Company,
necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods
presented.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Second Quarter of 1997 Compared to Second Quarter of 1996
Net sales increased 36% to $39,384,000 in the second quarter of 1997. The
increase resulted from a broad-based increase in sales in most of the Company's
product lines due to improved industry conditions and new contract awards, as
well as sales of $4,707,000 in the second quarter of 1997 from the MechTronics
acquisition completed in June 1996.
The Company had substantial sales to Lockheed Martin, Boeing, McDonnell Douglas
and Northrop Grumman. During the second quarter of 1997 and 1996, sales to
Lockheed Martin were approximately $4,424,000 and $2,329,000, respectively;
sales to Boeing were approximately $5,724,000 and $5,237,000, respectively;
sales to McDonnell Douglas were approximately $2,597,000 and $2,832,000,
respectively; and sales to Northrop Grumman were approximately $1,864,000 and
$2,490,000, respectively. The sales to Lockheed Martin are primarily related
to the Space Shuttle program. The sales relating to Boeing, McDonnell Douglas
and Northrop Grumman are diversified over a number of different commercial and
military programs.
Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, was 34.9% for the second quarter of
1997 compared to 32.6% in 1996. This increase was primarily the result of
changes in sales mix, economies of scale resulting from sales increases and
improvements in production efficiencies. The increase was partially offset by
higher production costs at MechTronics, which was acquired in June 1996.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, were
18.3% for the second quarter of 1997 compared to 20.1% in 1996. The decrease
in these expenses as a percentage of sales was primarily the result of higher
sales volume partially offset by an increase in related period costs.
-12-
13
Interest expense decreased to $194,000 in the second quarter of 1997 compared
to $275,000 for 1996. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to
lower debt levels.
Income tax expense increased to $2,664,000 in the second quarter of 1997
compared to $935,000 for 1996. The increase in income tax expense was
primarily due to the increase in income before taxes and an effective tax rate
of 42% in 1997 compared to 28% in 1996. From a cash flow perspective, however,
the Company continues to use its federal net operating loss carryforwards to
offset taxable income. Cash paid for income taxes was $2,160,000 in the second
quarter of 1997, compared to $568,000 in 1996.
Net income for the second quarter of 1997 was $3,680,000, or $0.46 per share,
compared to $2,406,000, or $0.31 per share, in 1996.
Six Months of 1997 Compared to Six Months of 1996
Net sales increased 42% to $74,689,000 in the first six months of 1997. The
increase resulted from a broad-based increase in sales in most of the Company's
product lines due to improved industry conditions and new contract awards, as
well as sales of $9,348,000 in the first six months of 1997 from the
MechTronics acquisition completed in June 1996.
The Company had substantial sales to Lockheed Martin, Boeing, McDonnell Douglas
and Northrop Grumman. During the first six months of 1997 and 1996, sales to
Lockheed Martin were approximately $8,558,000 and $4,800,000, respectively;
sales to Boeing were approximately $10,482,000 and $7,662,000, respectively;
sales to McDonnell Douglas were approximately $5,937,000 and $5,532,000,
respectively; and sales to Northrop Grumman were approximately $3,349,000 and
$4,368,000, respectively. The sales to Lockheed Martin are primarily related
to the Space Shuttle program. The sales relating to Boeing, McDonnell Douglas
and Northrop Grumman are diversified over a number of different commercial and
military programs.
At June 28, 1997, backlog believed to be firm was approximately $153,500,000
compared to $117,400,000 at June 29, 1996 and $134,500,000 at December 31,
1996. Approximately $53,000,000 of the total backlog is expected to be
delivered during the second half of 1997.
Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, was 33.3% for the first six months of
1997 compared to 33.5% in 1996. This decrease was primarily the result of
higher production costs at MechTronics, which was acquired in June 1996. The
decrease was partially offset by changes in sales mix, economies of scale
resulting from sales increases and improvements in production efficiencies.
-13-
14
Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, were
18.2% for the first six months of 1997 compared 22.9% in 1996. The decrease in
these expenses as a percentage of sales was primarily the result of higher
sales volume partially offset by an increase in related period costs.
Interest expense decreased to $395,000 in the first six months of 1997 compared
to $697,000 for 1996. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to
the conversion of $24,263,000 of convertible subordinated debentures during the
first half of 1996 and lower debt levels.
Income tax expense increased to $4,572,000 in the first six months of 1997
compared to $1,367,000 for 1996. The increase in income tax expense was
primarily due to the increase in income before taxes and an effective tax rate
of 42% in 1997 compared to 28% in 1996. From a cash flow perspective, however,
the Company continues to use its federal net operating loss carryforwards to
offset taxable income. Cash paid for income taxes was $2,510,000 in the first
six months of 1997, compared to $968,000 in 1996.
Net income for the six months of 1997 was $6,310,000, or $0.79 per share,
compared to $3,516,000, or $0.51 per share, in 1996.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash flow from operating activities for the first six months ended June 28,
1997 was $4,213,000. The Company continues to depend on operating cash flow
and the availability of its bank line of credit to provide short-term
liquidity. Cash from operations and bank borrowing capacity are expected to
provide sufficient liquidity to meet the Company's obligations during 1997.
In June 1997, the Company amended its bank credit agreement to provide for a
$40,000,000 unsecured revolving credit line with an expiration date of July 1,
1999. At June 28, 1997, the Company had $37,333,000 of unused lines of credit
available. See Note 5 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company spent $3,329,000 on capital expenditures during the first six
months of 1997 and expects to spend approximately $10,000,000 for capital
expenditures in 1997. The Company plans to make substantial capital
expenditures in 1997 primarily for plant, machinery and equipment to support
long-term aerospace structure contracts for both commercial and military
aircraft. These expenditures are expected to place the Company in a favorable
competitive position among aerospace subcontractors, and to allow the Company
to take advantage of the offload requirements from its customers.
