                     DUCOMMUN INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   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 July 1, 2000 and July 3, 1999.
          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, 1999.

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

          Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to
          common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares
          outstanding in each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by
          dividing income available to common shareholders plus income
          associated with dilutive stock options 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 1, 2000 and July 3,
          1999, income available to common shareholders was $3,260,000 and
          $3,389,000, respectively. The weighted average number of common shares
          outstanding for the three months ended July 1, 2000 and July 3, 1999
          were 9,655,000 and 10,374,000 and the dilutive shares associated with
          stock options were 105,000 and 323,000, respectively. For the six
          months ended July 1, 2000 and July 3, 1999, income available to common
          shareholders was $6,190,000 and $6,594,000, respectively. The weighted
          average number of common shares outstanding for the six months ended
          July 1, 2000 and July 3, 1999 were 9,632,000 and 10,392,000 and the
          dilutive shares associated with stock options were 96,000 and 335,000,
          respectively.

          The Company's bank credit agreement provides for a $40,000,000
          unsecured revolving credit line with an expiration date of July 1,
          2002. Interest is payable monthly on the outstanding borrowings based
          on the bank's prime rate (9.50% at July 1, 2000) 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 1, 2000). At July 1, 2000, the Company had
          $20,370,000 of unused lines of credit, after deducting $19,630,000 of
          loans outstanding. The credit agreement includes fixed charge coverage
          and maximum leverage ratios, an unused commitment fee of .125%, and
          limitations on future dividend payments and outside indebtedness.

Note 5.   Shareholders' Equity

          Since 1998, the Company's Board of Directors has authorized the
          repurchase of up to $30,000,000 of its common stock. During 1998 and
          1999, the Company repurchased in the open market 1,809,062 shares of
          its common stock for a total of $24,066,000, and cancelled 953,762
          shares of treasury stock. During the first six months of 2000, the
          Company repurchased in the open market 19,400 shares of its common
          stock for a total of $174,000 and cancelled 855,300 shares of treasury
          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


                                      -8-


<PAGE>   9

          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 October 1999, Com Dev Consulting Ltd. ("Com Dev") filed a complaint
          in the United States District Court against the Company and certain of
          its officers relating to the sale of the capital stock of 3dbm, Inc.
          ("3dbm") by the Company to Com Dev in August 1998. On February 3,
          2000, the United States District Court dismissed the complaint without
          prejudice. On April 7, 2000, Com Dev filed another complaint in
          California Superior Court against the Company and certain of its
          officers relating to the sale of the capital stock of 3dbm by the
          Company to Com Dev. The Company intends to vigorously defend the
          matter. While it is not feasible to predict the outcome of this
          matter, the Company presently believes that the final resolution of
          the matter will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated
          financial position or results of operations.

          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.   Acquisitions

          In November 1999, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary,
          acquired the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Parsons
          Precision Products, Inc. ("Parsons") for $22,073,000 in cash. Parsons
          is a leading manufacturer of complex titanium hot-formed subassemblies
          and components for commercial and military aerospace applications. In
          April 1999, the Company acquired the capital stock of Sheet Metal
          Specialties Company ("SMS") for $10,096,000 in cash, net of cash
          acquired and payments of other liabilities of SMS, and a $1,500,000
          note. SMS is a manufacturer of subassemblies for commercial and
          military aerospace applications.

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.

ACQUISITIONS

In November 1999, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired the
assets and assumed certain liabilities of Parsons Precision Products, Inc.
("Parsons") for $22,073,000 in cash. Parsons is a leading manufacturer of
complex titanium hot-formed subassemblies and components for commercial and
military aerospace applications. In April 1999, the Company acquired the capital
stock of Sheet Metal Specialties Company ("SMS") for $10,096,000 in cash, net of
cash acquired and payments of other liabilities of SMS, and a $1,500,000 note.
SMS is a manufacturer of subassemblies for commercial and military aerospace
applications.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Second Quarter of 2000 Compared to Second Quarter of 1999

Net sales increased 16% to $42,439,000 in the second quarter of 2000. The
increase was due primarily to sales in the second quarter of 2000 from the
Parsons acquisition, as well as sales from the new contract at AHF-Ducommun for
the C-17 fuselage panels. Excluding the Parsons acquisition, sales increased 7%
in the second quarter of 2000 from the comparable period in 1999.

The Company had substantial sales to Boeing, Raytheon and Lockheed Martin.
During the second quarters of 2000 and 1999, sales to Boeing were approximately
$14,727,000 and $9,887,000, respectively; sales to Raytheon were approximately
$5,036,000 and $2,136,000, respectively; and sales to Lockheed Martin were
approximately $3,003,000 and $4,462,000, respectively. The sales relating to
Boeing, Raytheon and Lockheed Martin are diversified over a number of different
commercial, space and military programs.

Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, was 28.8% for the second quarter of 2000
compared to 31.8% in 1999. This decrease was primarily the result of changes in
sales mix in the airline seating business, pricing pressures from customers and
production costs for new programs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, were
13.6% for the second quarter of 2000 compared to 14.7% in 1999. The decrease in
these expenses as a percentage of sales was primarily the result of the benefit
of higher sales volume, partially offset by an increase in related variable
period costs and higher personnel costs.

<PAGE>   11

Interest expense increased to $479,000 in the second quarter of 2000 compared to
$129,000 for 1999. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to higher
debt levels.

Income tax expense decreased to $1,999,000 in the second quarter of 2000
compared to $2,258,000 for 1999. The decrease in income tax expense was
primarily due to the decrease in income before taxes and an effective income tax
rate of 38% for 2000 compared to 40% for 1999. The decrease in the tax rate was
primarily due to certain tax credits that became available to the Company. Cash
paid for income taxes was $1,433,000 in the second quarter of 2000, compared to
$4,841,000 in 1999. Net income for the second quarter of 2000 was $3,260,000, or
$0.33 per diluted share, compared to $3,389,000, or $0.32 per diluted share, in
1999. Diluted earnings per share rose 3% on a year to year basis, despite a
decline in net income, due to a reduction of approximately 937,000 in average
diluted shares outstanding as a result of the Company's stock repurchase
program.

Six Months of 2000 Compared to Six Months of 1999

Net sales increased 16% to $82,293,000 in the first six months of 2000. The
increase was due primarily to increased sales in the first six months of 2000
from the SMS and Parsons acquisitions, as well as sales from the new contract at
AHF-Ducommun for the C-17 fuselage panels. Excluding acquisitions, sales
increased 4% in the first six months of 2000 from the comparable period in 1999.

The Company had substantial sales to Boeing, Raytheon and Lockheed Martin.
During the first six months of 2000 and 1999, sales to Boeing were approximately
$29,273,000 and $20,396,000, respectively; sales to Raytheon were approximately
$8,033,000 and $4,502,000, respectively; and sales to Lockheed Martin were
approximately $6,472,000 and $7,847,000, respectively. The sales relating to
Boeing, Raytheon and Lockheed Martin are diversified over a number of different
commercial, space and military programs.

At July 1, 2000, backlog believed to be firm was approximately $229,700,000
compared to $213,100,000 at December 31, 1999. Approximately $53,000,000 of
backlog is expected to be delivered during 2000. In April 2000 the Company
announced that its AHF-Ducommun subsidiary signed the largest contract in the
Company's history with Boeing-Long Beach valued at $49,000,000 to produce
fuselage skin panels for the C-17 aircraft. Performance under the contract began
in the first quarter of 2000 and is expected to continue through 2003. In
addition, AHF-Ducommun has signed an option contract with Boeing-Long Beach for
the production of C-17 fuselage skin panels for the period 2003 - 2007. The
option contract, if fully exercised by Boeing, is valued at $62,000,000. In July
2000 the Company announced that its Brice Manufacturing subsidiary had been
approved by Airbus Industrie to offer the B1000 OEM passenger seat as Buyer
Furnished Equipment for all Airbus single aisle aircraft programs.

Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, was 29.7% for the first six months of
2000 compared to 31.5% in 1999. This decrease was primarily the result of
changes in sales mix in the airline seating business, pricing pressures from
customers and production costs for new programs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, were
14.6% for the first six months of 2000 compared to 14.6% in 1999. The benefits
of higher sales volume were offset by increases in related variable costs and
higher personnel costs.

Interest expense increased to $979,000 in the first six months of 2000 compared
to $154,000 for 1999. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to
higher debt levels.

Income tax expense decreased to $3,795,000 in the first quarter of 2000 compared
to $4,396,000 for 1999. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily due to
the decrease in income before taxes and an effective income tax rate of 38% for
2000 compared to 40% for 1999. The decrease in the tax rate was primarily due to
certain tax credits that became available to the Company. Cash paid for income
taxes was $1,471,000 in the first six months of 2000, compared to $4,980,000 in
1999. Net income for the first six months of 2000 was $6,190,000, or $0.64 per
diluted share, compared to $6,594,000, or $0.61 per diluted share, in 1999.
Diluted earnings per share rose 5% on a year to year basis, despite a decline in
net income, due to a reduction of approximately 999,000 in average diluted
shares outstanding as a result of the Company's stock repurchase program.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended July 1, 2000 was
$6,987,000, compared to $7,665,000 for the six months ended July 3, 1999. During
the first six months of 2000, the Company spent $2,604,000 to repay principal on
its outstanding bank borrowings, promissory notes, and term and commercial real
estate loans, $4,398,000 on capital expenditures and $174,000 to repurchase
shares of the Company's common stock. 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 2000. The Company's bank credit agreement provides for a $40,000,000
unsecured revolving credit line with an expiration date of July 1, 2002. At July
1, 2000, the Company had $20,370,000 of unused lines of credit, after deducting
$19,630,000 of loans outstanding. See Note 4 to the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.

The Company spent $4,398,000 on capital expenditures during the first six months
of 2000 and expects to spend less than $14,000,000 in the aggregate for capital
expenditures in 2000. 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 off-load requirements from its customers. In
connection with the C-17 contract signed by the Company's AHF-Ducommun
subsidiary, AHF-Ducommun is acquiring a 1,500-ton stretch press and a 5-axis CNC
Torres router with a flexible pogo positioning system. AHF-Ducommun also is in
the process of completing a 185,000 square foot building addition to support the
C-17 contract as well as other off-load opportunities from its customers.

Since 1998, the Company's Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up
to $30,000,000 of its common stock. During 1998 and 1999, the Company
repurchased in the open market 1,809,062 shares of its common stock for a total
of $24,066,000, and cancelled 953,762 shares of treasury stock. During the first
six months of 2000, the Company repurchased in the open market 19,400 shares of
its common stock for a total of $174,000 and cancelled 855,300 shares of
treasury stock. Repurchases will be made from time to time on the open market at
prevailing prices.

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 October 1999, Com Dev Consulting Ltd. ("Com Dev") filed a complaint in the
United States District Court against the Company and certain of its officers
relating to the sale of the capital stock of 3dbm, Inc. ("3dbm") by the Company
to Com Dev in August 1998. On February 3, 2000, the United States District Court
dismissed the complaint without prejudice. On April 7, 2000, Com Dev filed
another complaint in California Superior Court against the Company and certain
of its officers relating to the sale of the capital stock of 3dbm by the Company
to Com Dev. The Company intends to vigorously defend the matter. While it is not
feasible to predict the outcome of this matter, the Company presently believes
that the final resolution of the matter will not have a material adverse effect
on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

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.

FUTURE ACCOUNTING REQUIREMENTS

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). SFAS 133 will become effective for the
Company in 2001. The adoption of SFAS 133 is not expected to have a material
effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
