NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ducommun Incorporated and its subsidiaries (“Ducommun” or the “Company”), after eliminating intercompany balances and transactions. The consolidated balance sheet is unaudited as of March 31, 2007 and the consolidated statements of income and the consolidated statements of cash flows are unaudited for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006. The interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The financial information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2007.

Ducommun operates in two business segments. Ducommun AeroStructures, Inc. (“DAS”), engineers and manufactures aerospace structural components and subassemblies. Ducommun Technologies, Inc. (“DTI”), designs, engineers and manufactures electromechanical components and subsystems, and provides engineering, technical and program management services (including design, development, integration and test of prototype products) principally for the aerospace and military markets. The significant accounting policies of the Company and its two business segments are the same as described in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, except as noted below.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, collection is reasonably assured and delivery of products has occurred or services have been rendered. Revenue from products sold under long-term contracts is recognized by the Company on the same basis as other sale transactions. The Company also recognizes revenue on the sale of services (including prototype products) based on the type of contract: time and materials, cost-plus reimbursement and firm-fixed price. Revenue is recognized (i) on time and materials contracts as time is spent at hourly rates, which are negotiated with customers, plus the cost of any allowable materials and out-of-pocket expenses, (ii) on cost plus reimbursement contracts based on direct and indirect costs incurred plus a negotiated profit calculated as a percentage of cost, a fixed amount or a performance-based award fee, and (iii) on fixed-price contracts on the percentage-of-completion method measured by the percentage of costs incurred to estimated total costs.

Earnings Per Share

The weighted average number of shares outstanding used to compute earnings per share is as follows:


	Three months ended
	March 31, 2007	April 1, 2006
	March 31, 2007	April 1, 2006
Basic weighted average shares outstanding	10,301,000	10,133,000
Dilutive potential common shares	90,000	80,000

Diluted weighted average shares outstanding	10,391,000	10,213,000

The numerator used to compute diluted earnings per share is as follows:

The weighted average number of shares outstanding, included in the table below, is excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the average market price did not exceed the exercise price. However, these shares may be potentially dilutive common shares in the future.


	Three months ended
	March 31, 2007	April 1, 2006
	March 31, 2007	April 1, 2006
Stock options	302,600	408,900
Performance stock units	32,500	—

Comprehensive Income

Certain items such as foreign currency translation adjustment, unrealized gains and losses on certain investments in debt and equity securities and minimum pension liability adjustments are presented as separate components of shareholders’ equity. The current period change in these items is included in other comprehensive income and separately reported in the financial statements. Accumulated other comprehensive loss, as reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets under the equity section, is comprised of a minimum pension liability adjustment of $1,641,000, net of tax, at March 31, 2007 and $2,158,000, net of tax, at December 31, 2006.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

disclosures about those measures. The Company will need to adopt SFAS No. 157 for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its results of operations and financial position.

In February 2007, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, “Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The objective of SFAS No. 159 is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The Company will need to adopt SFAS No. 159 for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on its results of operations and financial position.

Use of Estimates

Certain amounts and disclosures included in the consolidated financial statements required management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Note 2. Acquisitions

On January 6, 2006, the Company acquired Miltec for $46,384,000 (net of cash, including assumed indebtedness and excluding acquisition costs) plus contingent payments not to exceed $3,000,000. The acquisition was funded from internally generated cash, notes to the sellers, and borrowings of approximately $24,000,000 under the Credit Agreement.

On May 10, 2006, the Company acquired WiseWave for $6,827,000 (net of cash, including assumed indebtedness and excluding acquisition costs) plus contingent payments not to exceed $500,000. The acquisition was funded from notes to the sellers, and borrowings of approximately $5,100,000 under the Credit Agreement.

On September 1, 2006, the Company acquired CMP for $13,804,000 (net of cash acquired and excluding acquisition costs). The acquisition was funded from notes to the sellers, and borrowings of approximately $10,800,000 under the Credit Agreement.

The Company has entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Syndication Agent, and the other lenders named therein (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured revolving credit line of $75,000,000 maturing on April 7, 2010. Interest is payable monthly on the outstanding borrowings at Bank of America’s prime rate (8.25% at March 31, 2007) plus a spread (0% to 0.50% per annum based on the leverage ratio of the Company) or, at the election of the Company, for terms of up to six months at the LIBOR rate (5.34% for a six month term at March 31, 2007) plus a spread (1.00% to 1.75% per annum depending on the leverage ratio of the Company). The Credit Agreement includes minimum fixed charge coverage, maximum leverage and minimum net worth covenants, an unused commitment fee (0.25% to 0.40% per annum depending on the leverage ratio of the Company), and limitations on future dispositions of property, repurchases of common stock, dividends, outside indebtedness, and acquisitions. At March 31, 2007, the Company had $34,327,000 of unused lines of credit, after deducting $1,873,000 for outstanding standby letters of credit. The Company had outstanding loans of $38,800,000 and was in compliance with all covenants at March 31, 2007.

- 9 -

Note 5. Shareholders’ Equity

The Company is authorized to issue five million shares of preferred stock. At March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006, no preferred shares were issued or outstanding.

At March 31, 2007, $4,704,000 remained available to repurchase common stock of the Company under stock repurchase programs as previously approved by the Board of Directors. The Company did not repurchase any of its common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006, in the open market.

Note 6. Stock Compensation

The Company has three stock option or incentive plans. Stock awards may be made to directors, officers and key employees under the stock plans on terms determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors or, with respect to directors, on terms determined by the Board of Directors.

Stock options have been and may be granted to directors, officers and key employees under the stock plans at prices not less than 100% of the market value on the date of grant, and expire not more than ten years from the date of grant. The option price and number of shares are subject to adjustment under certain dilutive circumstances.

Effective January 1, 2007, performance stock units were awarded to certain of the Company’s officers. The total compensation expense (before tax benefits) to be recognized over the three-year service period of the performance stock units is currently estimated to be approximately $675,000. A total of 32,500 performance stock units were outstanding at March 31, 2007.

Option activity during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006 was as follows:


	March 31, 2007				April 1, 2006
	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Number of Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price

The aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the closing price of the Company’s common stock price on the last trading day (March 30, 2007) and the exercise prices of outstanding stock options, multiplied by the number of in-the-money stock options as of the same date. This represents the total amount, before tax withholdings, that would have been received by stock option holders if they had all exercised the stock options on March 31, 2007. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006 was $570,000 and $843,000, respectively. Total fair value of options expensed was $398,000 and $370,000, before tax benefits, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006, respectively.

Note 7. Employee Benefit Plans

The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering certain hourly employees of a subsidiary. Pension plan benefits are generally determined on the basis of the retiree’s age and length of service. Assets of the defined benefit pension plan are composed primarily of fixed income and equity securities.

The components of net periodic pension cost for the defined benefit pension plan are as follows:


	(In thousands)
	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2007			April 1, 2006
Service cost	$	170		$	170
Interest cost		174			174
Expected return on plan assets		(211	)		(211	)
Amortization of actuarial loss		51			51

Net periodic post retirement benefit cost	$	184		$	184

Note 8. Indemnifications

The Company has made guarantees and indemnities under which it may be required to make payments to a guaranteed or indemnified party, in relation to certain transactions, including revenue transactions in the ordinary course of business. In connection with certain facility leases the Company has indemnified its lessors for certain claims arising from the facility or the lease. The Company indemnifies its directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware. However, the Company has a directors and officers insurance policy that may reduce its exposure in certain circumstances and may enable it to recover a portion of future amounts that may be payable, if any. The duration of the guarantees and indemnities varies and, in many cases is indefinite but subject to statute of limitations. The majority of guarantees and indemnities do not provide any limitations of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. Historically, payments related to these guarantees and indemnities have been immaterial. The Company estimates the fair value of its indemnification obligations as insignificant based on this history and insurance coverage and has, therefore, not recorded any liability for these guarantees and indemnities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will not have any future financial exposure under these indemnification obligations.

Note 9. Income Taxes

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”), which became effective for the Company on January 1, 2007. The Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The adoption of FIN 48 has resulted in a transition adjustment reducing beginning retained earnings by approximately $190,000; all of which is interest on unrecognized tax positions. The interest charge will be recorded as a component of tax expense. Federal and various state tax returns for all years after 2001 are subject to examination.

- 12 -

As of January 1, 2007, the Company’s total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $2,561,000. Of this amount, $2,468,000, if recognized, would affect the annual income tax rate. As of the date of adoption, the Company had accrued interest of $316,000 relating to unrecognized tax benefits.

During 2007, $480,000 of unrecognized tax benefit is subject to recognition due to the expiration of various statues of limitation.

Note 10. Contingencies

The Company is a defendant in a lawsuit entitled United States of America ex rel Taylor Smith, Jeannine Prewitt and James Ailes v. The Boeing Company and Ducommun Inc., filed in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas. The lawsuit is a qui tam action brought against The Boeing Company (“Boeing”) and Ducommun on behalf of the United States of America for violations of the United States False Claims Act. The lawsuit alleges that Ducommun sold unapproved parts to the Boeing Commercial Airplanes-Wichita Division which were installed by Boeing in 32 aircraft ultimately sold to the United States government. The lawsuit seeks damages, civil penalties and other relief from the defendants for presenting or causing to be presented false claims for payment to the United States government. Although the amount of alleged damages are not specified, the lawsuit seeks damages in an amount equal to three times the amount of damages the United States government sustained because of the defendants’ actions, plus a civil penalty of $10,000 for each false claim made on or before September 28, 1999, and $11,000 for each false claim made on or after September 28, 1999, together with attorneys’ fees and costs. On February 27, 2006, the United States District Court granted the Company’s motion and dismissed the lawsuit with respect to the Company, but granted leave of court to the plaintiffs to amend the complaint to reassert their claims. On March 14, 2006, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint. On April 24, 2006, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint, which is currently pending before the court. The Company intends to defend itself vigorously against the lawsuit. The Company, at this time, is unable to estimate what, if any, liability it may have in connection with the lawsuit.

The DAS facility located in El Mirage, California has been directed by California environmental agencies to investigate and take corrective action for groundwater contamination. Based upon currently available information, the Company has established a provision for the cost of such investigation and corrective action. DAS expects to spend approximately $1.5 million for future investigation and corrective action for groundwater contamination and post-closure maintenance of the closed hazardous waste facility at its El Mirage location. However, the Company’s ultimate liability in connection with the contamination 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 corrective action.

The Company’s subsidiary, Composite Structures, LLC (“Composite”), and several other companies have been ordered by a California environmental agency to investigate and clean up soil and groundwater contamination at its Monrovia, California facility. Composite has filed a petition for review of the order.

resolves the liability of the DAS and the other settling defendants for certain past response costs, future interim response costs and future DTSC oversight costs in connection with the landfill. The Consent Decree provides for the performance of certain operation, maintenance and monitoring activities at the landfill by DAS and the other settling defendants until the later of March 15, 2008 or two years after essential activities commence at the landfill. The Company, at this time, is unable to estimate reliably its liability in connection with the landfill. Based on currently available information, the Company preliminarily estimates that the range of its future liability in connection with the landfill is between approximately $443,000 and $3.0 million. The Company’s accrued liabilities at March 31, 2007 included the minimum amount of the range of approximately $443,000.

The Orange County Water District has filed a lawsuit against American Electronics, Inc. (“AEI”), a subsidiary of the Company, and other companies, to recover damages, relating to contamination of groundwater within the District. The Company is defending the lawsuit, and has notified the former owners of AEI of their contractual indemnification obligations to the Company in connection with the lawsuit.

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, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Ducommun designs, engineers and manufactures aerostructure and electromechanical components and subassemblies, and provides engineering, technical and program management services principally for the aerospace industry. These components, assemblies and services are provided principally for domestic and foreign commercial and military aircraft as well as space programs.

Domestic commercial aircraft programs include the Boeing 737NG, 747, 767 and 777 and the Eclipse business jet. Foreign commercial aircraft programs include the Airbus Industrie A330 and A340 aircraft, Bombardier business and regional jets, and the Embraer 145 and 170/190. Major military production programs include the Boeing C-17, F-15 and F-18 and Lockheed Martin F-16 aircraft, and various aircraft and shipboard electronics upgrade programs. Commercial and military helicopter programs include helicopters manufactured by Boeing (principally the Apache helicopter), Sikorsky, Bell, Augusta and Carson. The Company continues to support various unmanned launch vehicle and satellite programs, but the Company’s contract for the Space Shuttle external fuel tank was terminated in January 2006.

On January 6, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of Miltec Corporation (“Miltec”). As a result of the Miltec acquisition, the Company also provides engineering, technical and program management services, including the design, development, integration and test of prototype products. Engineering, technical and program management services are provided principally for advanced weapons systems and missile defense. On May 10, 2006, the Company acquired WiseWave Technologies, Inc. (“WiseWave”). WiseWave manufactures microwave and millimeterwave products for both aerospace and non-aerospace applications. On September 1, 2006, the Company acquired CMP Display Systems, Inc. (“CMP”). CMP manufactures incandescent, electroluminescent and LED edge lit panels and assemblies for the aerospace and defense industries.

Sales, diluted earnings per share, gross profit as a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of sales, and the effective tax rate in first quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively, were as follows:


	First Quarter
	2007			2006
Sales (in $000's)	$	88,052		$	72,158
Diluted Earnings Per Share	$	.37		$	.27
Gross Profit % of Sales		21.0	%		20.1	%
SG&A Expense % of Sales		13.9	%		13.4	%
Effective Tax Rate		32.1	%		36.7	%

The Company manufactures components and assemblies principally for domestic and foreign commercial and military aircraft and space programs. The Company’s Miltec subsidiary provides engineering, technical and program management services almost entirely for United States defense, space and homeland security programs. The Company’s mix of military, commercial and space business in the first quarter of 2007 and the first quarter of 2006, respectively, was approximately as follows:


	First Quarter
	2007		2006
Military	59	%	67	%
Commercial	38	%	32	%
Space	3	%	1	%

Total	100	%	100	%

- 16 -

The Company is dependent on Boeing commercial aircraft, the C-17 aircraft and the Apache helicopter programs. Sales to these programs, as a percentage of total sales, for the first quarter of 2007 and the first quarter of 2006, respectively, were approximately as follows:


	First Quarter
	2007		2006
Boeing Commercial Aircraft	16	%	15	%
Boeing C-17 Aircraft	9	%	9	%
Boeing Apache Helicopter	14	%	21	%
All Others	61	%	55	%

Total	100	%	100	%

Net income for the first quarter of 2007 was higher than 2006. The reasons for the increase in net income in 2007 include (1) a favorable change in sales mix, (2) an improvement in operating performance at both DAS and DTI, and (3) a lower effective tax rate in 2007 compared to 2006.

Results of Operations

First Quarter of 2007 Compared to First Quarter of 2006

Net sales in the first quarter of 2007 were $88,052,000, compared to net sales of $72,158,000 for 2006. Net sales in the first quarter of 2007 increased 22% from the same period last year primarily due to a strong increase in commercial sales. The Company’s mix of business in the first quarter of 2007 was approximately 59% military, 38% commercial, and 3% space, compared to 67% military, 32% commercial, and 1% space in the first quarter of 2006.

The Company had substantial sales, through both of its business segments, to Boeing, the United States government and Raytheon. During the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, sales to these customers were as follows:


	(In thousands)
	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2007		April 1, 2006
Boeing	$	29,161	$	30,666
United States government		8,009		5,967
Raytheon		6,995		6,034

Total	$	44,165	$	42,667

- 17 -

At March 31, 2007, trade receivables from Boeing, the United States government and Raytheon were $7,009,000, $3,266,000 and $3,029,000, respectively. The sales and receivables relating to these customers are diversified over a number of different commercial, space and military programs.

Military components manufactured by the Company are employed in many of the country’s front-line fighters, bombers, helicopters and support aircraft, as well as many sea-based vehicles. Engineering, technical and program management services are provided principally for United States defense and homeland security programs. The Company’s defense business is diversified among military manufacturers and programs. Sales related to military programs were approximately $52,260,000, or 59% of total sales in the first quarter of 2007, compared to $48,179,000, or 67% of total sales in the first quarter of 2006. The increase in military sales in the first quarter of 2007 resulted principally from approximately $3,952,000 increase in military sales from the acquisitions of Miltec, WiseWave and CMP, an increase in sales to the C-17 program at Ducommun AeroStructures, Inc. (“DAS”), an increase in sales to the F-15 and F-18 programs at Ducommun Technologies, Inc. (“DTI”), partially offset by a decrease in sales to the Apache helicopter program at DAS. The Apache helicopter program accounted for approximately $12,007,000 in sales in the first quarter of 2007, compared to $15,091,000 in sales in first quarter of 2006. The C-17 program accounted for approximately $8,186,000 in sales in the first quarter of 2007, compared to $6,366,000 in sales in the first quarter of 2006.

The Company’s commercial business is represented on many of today’s major commercial aircraft. Sales related to commercial business were approximately $33,203,000, or 38% of total sales in the first quarter of 2007, compared to $23,082,000, or 32% of total sales in the first quarter of 2006. During the first quarter of 2007, commercial sales were higher, principally because of an increase in commercial aftermarket sales at both DAS and DTI, sales to the Boeing 737NG program and Boeing 777 program and sales from the acquisitions of WiseWave and CMP. Sales to the Boeing 737NG program accounted for approximately $8,410,000 in sales in the first quarter of 2007, compared to $7,185,000 in sales in the first quarter of 2006.

- 18 -

In the space sector, the Company produced components for a variety of unmanned launch vehicles and satellite programs. Sales related to space programs were approximately $2,589,000, or 3% of total sales in 2007, compared to $897,000, or 1% of total sales in the first quarter of 2006. The increase in sales for the Space programs was principally due to an increase in space related sales at Miltec.

As of March 31, 2007, backlog believed to be firm was approximately $381,774,000, compared to $320,580,000 at December 31, 2006. Approximately $180,000,000 of total backlog is expected to be delivered during the remainder of 2007. The backlog at March 31, 2007 included the following programs:


	Backlog (In thousands)
	Backlog (In thousands)
Apache Helicopter	$	88,518
737NG		70,677
Eclipse 500		21,856
C-17		10,935

	$	191,986

Trends in the Company’s overall level of backlog may not be indicative of trends in future sales because the Company’s backlog is affected by timing differences in the placement of customer orders and because the Company’s backlog tends to be concentrated in several programs to a greater extent than the Company’s sales. Backlog is also subject to delivery delays or program cancellations, which are beyond the Company’s control.

Gross profit, as a percent of sales, increased to 21.0% in the first quarter of 2007 from 20.1% in the first quarter of 2006. The gross profit margin increase was primarily attributable to improvement in operating performance at both DAS and DTI and a change in sales mix.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased to $12,226,000, or 13.9% of sales, in the first quarter of 2007, compared to $9,636,000, or 13.4% of sales in the first quarter of 2006. The increase in SG&A expense was primarily due to higher bonus accruals in 2007 and expenses of the WiseWave and CMP businesses, which were acquired in the second and third quarters of 2006, respectively.

Interest expense was $652,000 in the first quarter of 2007, compared to interest expense of $515,000 in the first quarter of 2006, primarily due to the use of cash and increase debt in the first quarter of 2007, compared to the first quarter of 2006, as a result of the WiseWave and CMP acquisitions, made after the first quarter of 2006.

Income tax expense increased to $1,799,000 in the first quarter of 2007, compared to $1,604,000 in first quarter of 2006. The increase in income tax expense was due to the increase in income before taxes, partially offset by a lower effective income tax rate. The Company’s effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2007 was 32.1%, compared to 36.7% in the first quarter of 2006, because of the applicability of the R&D tax credit in the first quarter of 2007.

- 19 -

Net income for the first quarter of 2007 was $3,800,000, or $0.37 diluted earnings per share, compared to $2,762,000, or $0.27 diluted earnings per share, in the first quarter of 2006.

Financial Condition

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash used in operating activities for the first quarter of 2007 and the first quarter of 2006 was $13,383,000 and $6,116,000, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities for the first quarter of 2007 included an increase in inventory of $6,132,000 primarily related to work-in-process inventory for production jobs scheduled to be shipped in 2007, and an increase in accounts and unbilled receivables of $6,902,000 primarily related to higher sales and the timing of shipments and billings to customers. Net cash used in operating activities for the first quarter of 2007 also included a decrease in accounts payable of $7,361,000 due to timing of payments of vendor invoices.

Net cash used in investing activities for the first quarter of 2007 consisted primarily of capital expenditures of $2,150,000.

Net cash provided by financing activities in the first quarter of 2007 of $15,604,000 included approximately $14,947,000 of net borrowings related to working capital increases and $492,000 of net cash received from the exercise of stock options.

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 the next twelve months.

The Company expects to spend less than $18,000,000 for capital expenditures in 2007. The increase in capital expenditures in 2007 from 2006 is principally to support new contract awards at DAS and DTI and offshore manufacturing expansion. The Company believes the ongoing subcontractor consolidation makes acquisitions an increasingly important component of the Company’s future growth. The Company plans to continue to seek attractive acquisition opportunities and to make substantial capital expenditures for manufacturing equipment and facilities to support long-term contracts for both commercial and military aircraft programs.

- 20 -

The Company has made guarantees and indemnities under which it may be required to make payments to a guaranteed or indemnified party, in relation to certain transactions, including revenue transactions in the ordinary course of business. In connection with certain facility leases the Company has indemnified its lessors for certain claims arising from the facility or the lease. The Company indemnifies its directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware. However, the Company has a directors and officers insurance policy that may reduce its exposure in certain circumstances and may enable it to recover a portion of future amounts that may be payable, if any. The duration of the guarantees and indemnities varies and, in many cases, is indefinite but subject to statute of limitations. The majority of guarantees and indemnities do not provide any limitations of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. Historically, payments related to these guarantees and indemnities have been immaterial. The Company estimates the fair value of its indemnification obligations as insignificant based on this history and insurance coverage and has, therefore, not recorded any liability for these guarantees and indemnities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will not have any future financial exposure under these indemnification obligations.

As of March 31, 2007, the Company expects to make the following payments on its contractual obligations (in thousands):


			Payments due by period
Contractual Obligations	Total		Remainder of 2007		2008- 2010		2011- 2012		2013 and after

The Company is a defendant in a lawsuit entitled United States of America ex rel Taylor Smith, Jeannine Prewitt and James Ailes v. The Boeing Company and Ducommun Inc., filed in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas. The lawsuit is a qui tam action brought against The Boeing Company (“Boeing”) and Ducommun on behalf of the United States of America for violations of the United States False Claims Act. The lawsuit alleges that Ducommun sold unapproved parts to the Boeing Commercial Airplanes-Wichita Division which were installed by Boeing in 32 aircraft ultimately sold to the United States government. The lawsuit seeks damages, civil penalties and other relief from the defendants for presenting or causing to be presented false claims for payment to the United States government. Although the amount of alleged damages is not specified, the lawsuit seeks damages in an amount equal to three times the amount of damages the United States government sustained because of the defendants’ actions, plus a civil penalty of $10,000 for each false claim made on or before September 28, 1999, and $11,000 for each false claim made on or after September 28, 1999, together with attorneys’ fees and costs. On February 27, 2006, the United States District Court granted the Company’s motion and dismissed the lawsuit with respect to the Company, but granted leave of court to the plaintiffs to amend the complaint to reassert their claims. On March 14, 2006, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint. On April 24, 2006, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint, which is currently pending before the court. The Company intends to defend itself vigorously against the lawsuit. The Company, at this time, is unable to estimate what, if any, liability it may have in connection with the lawsuit.

- 21 -

DAS and other companies and government entities have entered into an amended consent decree (the “Consent Decree”) with the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (“DTSC”), which has been entered in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, relating to the alleged release of hazardous waste at a landfill in West Covina, California. The Consent Decree resolves the liability of the DAS and the other settling defendants for certain past response costs, future interim response costs and future DTSC oversight costs in connection with the landfill. The Consent Decree provides for the performance of certain operation, maintenance and monitoring activities at the landfill by DAS and the other settling defendants until the later of March 15, 2008 or two years after essential activities commence at the landfill. The Company, at this time, is unable to estimate reliably its liability in connection with the landfill. Based on currently available information, the Company preliminarily estimates that the range of its future liability in connection with the landfill is between approximately $443,000 and $3.0 million. The Company’s accrued liabilities at March 31, 2007 included the minimum amount of the range of approximately $443,000.

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 other 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, results of operations or cash flows.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements consist solely of operating leases.

Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On September 15, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”), which addresses how companies should measure fair value when they are required to use a fair value measure for recognition or disclosure purposes under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). As a result of SFAS No. 157 there is now a common definition of fair value to be used throughout GAAP. The FASB believes that the new standard will make the measurement of fair value more consistent and comparable and improve disclosures about those measures. The Company will need to adopt SFAS No. 157 for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its results of operations and financial position.

I have reviewed this Quarterly Report of Ducommun Incorporated (the “registrant”) on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2007;

Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;

Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

The registrant’s other certifying officer(s) and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a—15(f) and 15d—15(f)), for the registrant and have:

Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared;

Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;

Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant’s most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant’s fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting; and

The registrant’s other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the registrant’s auditors and the audit committee of the registrant’s board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information; and

Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
