                              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 July 4, 1998 and June 28, 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. Earnings Per Share

        The Company effected a three-for-two stock split of the Company's common
        stock in the form of a stock dividend, which was paid on June 10, 1998
        to shareholders of record as of May 20, 1998, and is reflected in all
        references to the number of common shares and per-share amounts in this
        report.

        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 July 4, 1998 and June
        28, 1997, income available to common stockholders was $5,057,000 and
        $3,680,000, respectively. The weighted average number of common shares
        outstanding for the three months ended July 4, 1998 and June 28, 1997
        were 11,236,000 and 10,982,000 and the dilutive shares associated with
        stock options were 575,000 and 924,000, respectively. For the six months
        ended July 4, 1998 and June 28, 1997, income available to common
        stockholders was $8,599,000 and $6,310,000, respectively. The weighted
        average number of common shares outstanding for the six months ended
        July 4, 1998 and June 28, 1997 were 11,215,000 and 10,971,000 and the
        dilutive shares associated with stock options were 568,000 and 910,000,
        respectively.

</TABLE>

        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 July 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
        July 4, 1998). At July 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. Shareholders' Equity

        In May 1998 the shareholders of Ducommun Incorporated authorized the
        amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation to increase the Company's
        authorized common stock from 12,500,000 shares to 35,000,000 shares.
        The Company effected a three-for-two stock split of the Company's common
        stock in the form of a stock dividend, which was paid on June 10, 1998
        to shareholders of record as of May 20, 1998, and is reflected in all
        references to the number of common shares and per-share amounts in this
        report. Average shares outstanding at July 4, 1998 and June 28, 1997,
        after adjusting for the stock split, were 11,215,000 and 10,971,000,
        respectively.

                                      -7-
<PAGE>   9

        In July 1998 the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 
        $15,000,000 of its common stock.

Note 6. Commitments and 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.

Note 7. Acquisition

        In June 1998, the Company acquired the capital stock of American
        Electronics, Inc. ("AEI") for $8,146,000 in cash and $1,900,000 in notes
        and other liabilities. AEI is a leading manufacturer of high-precision
        actuators, stepper motors, fractional horsepower motors and resolvers
        principally for commercial and military space applications. Calendar
        1997 sales of AEI exceeded $7.1 million, of which approximately 60% were
        related to space programs. The acquisition of AEI was accounted for
        under the purchase method of accounting, and based on preliminary
        allocation of the purchase price, the Company recorded goodwill of
        $5,794,000. The consolidated statements of income include the operating
        results for AEI since the date of the acquisition.

        The acquisition was funded from internally generated cash, notes payable
        to sellers and borrowings under the Company's credit agreement with its
        bank. The acquisition will strengthen the Company's position in the
        aerospace industry, add complementary lines of business and improve
        utilization of existing manufacturing facilities and overhead structure.

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.

ACQUISITION
- -----------

In June 1998, the Company acquired the capital stock of American Electronics,
Inc. ("AEI") for $8,146,000 in cash and $1,900,000 in notes and other
liabilities. AEI is a leading manufacturer of high-precision actuators, stepper
motors, fractional horsepower motors and resolvers principally for commercial
and military space applications. Calendar 1997 sales of AEI exceeded $7.1
million, of which approximately 60% were related to space programs. The
acquisition of AEI was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting,
and based on preliminary allocation of the purchase price, the Company recorded
goodwill of $5,794,000. The consolidated statements of income include the
operating results for AEI since the date of the acquisition.

The acquisition was funded from internally generated cash, notes payable to
sellers and borrowings under the Company's credit agreement with its bank. The
acquisition will strengthen the Company's position in the aerospace industry,
add complementary lines of business and improve utilization of existing
manufacturing facilities and overhead structure.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

Second Quarter of 1998 Compared to Second Quarter of 1997
- ---------------------------------------------------------

Net sales increased 16% to $45,754,000 in the second 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
second quarter of 1998 and 1997, sales to Boeing were approximately $14,238,000
and $8,321,000, respectively; and sales to Lockheed Martin were approximately

                                      -9-
<PAGE>   11

$5,676,000 and $4,424,000, respectively. The sales relating to
Boeing and Lockheed Martin are diversified over a number of different
commercial, space and military programs.

Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, was 34.9% for the second quarter of 1998
and the second quarter of 1997.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, were
15.9% for the second quarter of 1998 compared to 18.3% 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 36% to $125,000 in the second quarter
of 1998 compared to $194,000 for 1997. The decrease in interest expense was
primarily due to lower debt levels.

Income tax expense increased to $3,515,000 in the second quarter of 1998
compared to $2,664,000 for 1997. The increase in income tax expense was
primarily due to the increase in income before taxes. Cash paid for income taxes
was $2,111,000 in the second quarter of 1998, compared to $2,160,000 in 1997.

Net income for the second quarter of 1998 was $5,057,000, or $0.43 diluted
earnings per share, compared to $3,680,000, or $0.31 diluted earnings per share,
in 1997.

Six Months of 1998 Compared to Six Months of 1997
- -------------------------------------------------

Net sales increased 19% to $89,015,000 in the first six months of 1998. The
increase resulted from a broad-based increase in sales in most of the Company's
product lines due to increased outsourcing from the primes and first tier
subcontractors as well as new contract awards.

The Company had substantial sales to Boeing and Lockheed Martin. During the
first six months of 1998 and 1997, sales to Boeing were approximately
$25,634,000 and $16,419,000, respectively; and sales to Lockheed Martin were
approximately $10,412,000 and $8,558,000, respectively. The sales relating to
Boeing and Lockheed Martin are diversified over a number of different
commercial, space and military programs.

At July 4, 1998, backlog believed to be firm was approximately $169,200,000
compared to $153,500,000 at June 28, 1997 and $155,700,000 at December 31, 1997.
Approximately $71,000,000 of the total backlog is expected to be delivered
during 1998.

                                      -10-
<PAGE>   12

Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, was 33.4% for the first six months of
1998 compared to 33.3% in 1997.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, were
16.8% for the first six months of 1998 compared to 18.2% in 1997. The decrease
in these expenses as a percentage of sales was primarily the results of higher
sales volume partially offset by an increase in related period costs.

Interest expense decreased approximately 47% to $208,000 in the first six months
of 1998 compared to $395,000 for 1997. The decrease in interest expense was
primarily due to lower debt levels.

Income tax expense increased to $5,976,000 in the first six months of 1998
compared to $4,572,000 for 1997. The increase in income tax expense was
primarily due to the increase in income before taxes. Cash paid for income taxes
was $2,165,000 in the first six months of 1998, compared to $2,510,000 in 1997.

Net income for the first six months of 1998 was $8,599,000, or $0.73 diluted
earnings per share, compared to $6,310,000, or $0.53 diluted earnings per share,
in 1997.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

Cash flow from operating activities for the six months ended July 4, 1998 was
$14,215,000, compared to $4,213,000 for the six months ended June 28, 1997. The
increase in cash flow from operating activities resulted principally from an
increase in net income, a decrease in inventory, and a reduction during 1998 in
prepaid income taxes. 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 July 4, 1998, the
Company had $40,000,000 of unused lines of credit available. See Note 4 to the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 1998, the Company acquired the capital stock of American Electronics,
Inc. ("AEI") for $8,146,000 in cash and $1,900,000 in notes and other
liabilities. AEI is a leading manufacturer of high-precision actuators, stepper
motors, fractional horsepower motors and resolvers principally for commercial
and military space applications. Calendar 1997 sales of AEI exceeded $7.1
million, of which approximately 60% were related to space programs. The
acquisition of AEI was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, 

                                      -11-
<PAGE>   13
and based on preliminary allocation of the purchase price, the Company recorded
goodwill of $5,794,000. The consolidated statements of income include the
operating results for AEI since the date of the acquisition.

The acquisition was funded from internally generated cash, notes payable to
sellers and borrowings under the Company's credit agreement with its bank. The
acquisition will strengthen the Company's position in the aerospace industry,
add complementary lines of business and improve utilization of existing
manufacturing facilities and overhead structure.

The Company spent $7,309,000 on capital expenditures during the first six months
of 1998 and expects to spend approximately $16,000,000 in aggregate for capital
expenditures in 1998. The Company plans to make these 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.

In May 1998 the shareholders of the Company authorized the amendment of its
Certificate of Incorporation to increase the Company's authorized common stock
from 12,500,000 shares to 35,000,000 shares. The Company effected a
three-for-two stock split of the Company's common stock in the form of a stock
dividend, which was paid on June 10, 1998 to shareholders of record as of May
20, 1998.

In July 1998 the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to
$15 million of its common stock. Repurchases will be made from time to time on
the open market at prevailing prices. The shares initially will be held as
treasury stock.

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  

                                      -12-
<PAGE>   14

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.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISK FACTORS
- -------------------------------------------

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.

FUTURE ACCOUNTING REQUIREMENTS
- ------------------------------

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.

YEAR 2000
- ---------

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.
