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 ended April 4, 1998 and March 29, 1997. 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, 1997.
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. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding in each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by
dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding plus any potential dilution that
could occur if stock options were exercised or converted into common
stock in each period. For the three months ended April 4, 1998 and March
29, 1997, income available to common stockholders was $3,542,000 and
$2,630,000, respectively. The weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the three months ended April 4, 1998 and March 29, 1997
were 7,463,000 and 7,307,000 and the dilutive shares associated with
stock options were 422,000 and 597,000, respectively.

The Company's bank credit agreement provides for a $40,000,000 unsecured
revolving credit line with an expiration date of July 1, 1999. Interest
is payable monthly on the outstanding borrowings based on the bank's
prime rate (8.50% per annum at April 4, 1998) 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
April 4, 1998). At April 4, 1998, the Company had $40,000,000 of unused
lines of credit available. 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, recent transactions and estimates using
interest rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar
terms and remaining maturities.
Note 5. 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
- ---------------------
First Quarter of 1998 Compared to First Quarter of 1997
- -------------------------------------------------------
Net sales increased 23% to $43,261,000 in the first quarter of 1998. 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.
The Company had substantial sales to Boeing and Lockheed Martin. During the
first quarter of 1998 and 1997, sales to Boeing were approximately $11,396,000
and $8,098,000, respectively; and sales to Lockheed Martin were approximately
$4,736,000 and $4,134,000, respectively. The sales relating to Boeing and
Lockheed Martin are diversified over a number of different commercial, space and
military programs.
At April 4, 1998, backlog believed to be firm was approximately $168,200,000
compared to $148,000,000 at March 29, 1997 and $155,700,000 at December 31,
1997. Approximately $87,000,000 of the total backlog is expected to be delivered
during 1998.
Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, was 31.9% for the first quarter of 1998
compared to 31.5% in 1997. This increase was primarily the result of changes in
sales mix and economies of scale resulting from sales increases.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, were
17.8% for the first quarter of 1998 compared to 18.0% in 1997. 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 approximately 59% to $83,000 in the first quarter of
1998 compared to $201,000 for 1997. The decrease in interest expense was
primarily due to lower debt levels.
- 7 -
9
Income tax expense increased to $2,461,000 in the first quarter of 1998 compared
to $1,908,000 for 1997. The increase in income tax expense was primarily due to
the increase in income before taxes. Cash paid for income taxes was $54,000 in
the first quarter of 1998, compared to $350,000 in 1997.
Net income for the first quarter of 1998 was $3,542,000, or $0.45 diluted
earnings per share, compared to $2,630,000, or $0.33 diluted earnings per share,
in 1997.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Cash flow from operating activities for the first three months ended April 4,
1998 was $6,518,000, compared to $1,333,000 for the first quarter ended March
29, 1997. 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 1998.
The Company's bank credit agreement provides for a $40,000,000 unsecured
revolving credit line with an expiration date of July 1, 1999. At April 4, 1998,
the Company had $40,000,000 of unused lines of credit available. See Note 4 to
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company spent $5,024,000 on capital expenditures during the first three
months of 1998 and expects to spend approximately $16,000,000 for capital
expenditures in 1998. The Company plans to make substantial capital expenditures
in 1998 primarily for manufacturing equipment and facilities to support
long-term aerospace structure contracts for both commercial and military
aircraft and space programs. 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.
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
- 8 -

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.
Any forward looking statements made in this Form 10-Q report involve risks and
uncertainties. The Company's future financial results could differ materially
from those anticipated due to the Company's dependence on conditions in the
airline industry, the level of new commercial aircraft orders, the production
rate for the Space Shuttle program, the level of defense spending, competitive
pricing pressures, technology and product development risks and uncertainties,
product performance, risks associated with acquisitions and dispositions of
businesses by the Company, increasing consolidation of customers and suppliers
in the aerospace industry, and other factors beyond the Company's control.
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"), and
No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information"
("SFAS 131"). In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures
about Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits" ("SFAS 132"). SFAS 130, 131 and
132 will become effective for the Company in 1998. The adoption of SFAS 130, 131
and 132 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial
statements.
The Company has commenced, for its systems, a year 2000 date conversion project
to address necessary code changes, testing, and implementation. Project
completion is planned for the beginning of 1999 at a cost that is not expected
to be material to the Company. The Company expects its year 2000 date conversion
project to be completed on a timely basis. However, there can be no assurance
that the systems of other companies on which the Company's systems rely also
will be timely converted or that any such failure to convert by another company
would not have an adverse effect on the Company's systems. Maintenance or
modification costs will be expensed as incurred, while the cost of new software
will be capitalized and amortized over the software's useful life.
