PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

During 1995, Ducommun Incorporated ("Ducommun"), through its subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Company"), manufactured components and assemblies
principally for domestic and foreign commercial and military aircraft and space
programs. Domestic commercial aircraft programs include the Boeing 737, 747,
757, 767 and 777 and the McDonnell Douglas MD-11 and MD-80/90. Foreign
commercial aircraft programs include the Airbus Industrie A330 and A340, de
Havilland Dash 8, and the Canadair Regional Jet. Major military aircraft
programs include the McDonnell Douglas C-17, F-15 and F-18, Lockheed Martin F-16
and C-130, Northrop Grumman F-18, various Sikorsky, Bell and Boeing helicopter
programs, and advanced development programs. The Company is a subcontractor to
Lockheed Martin on the Space Shuttle external tank and a supplier of components
for the Space Shuttle Orbitor. The Company manufactures components for
Atlas/Centaur, Delta and Titan expendable launch vehicles and various
telecommunications satellites. Through its 3dbm, Inc. ("3dbm") subsidiary, the
Company also sells products for the wireless communications industry.

In December 1994, the Company acquired all of the capital stock of Brice
Manufacturing Company, Inc. ("Brice") and acquired substantially all of the
assets and assumed certain liabilities of Dynatech Microwave Technology, Inc.
("DMT"). In January 1995, the Company acquired all of the capital stock of 3dbm.

Aerochem

Ducommun's subsidiary, Aerochem, Inc. ("Aerochem"), is a major supplier of
close tolerance chemical milling services for the aerospace and aircraft
industries. Chemical milling removes material in specific patterns to reduce
weight in areas where full material thickness is not required. This
sophisticated etching process enables Aerochem to produce lightweight,
high-strength designs that would be impractical to produce by conventional
means. Jet engine components, wing leading edges and fuselage skins are examples
of products that require chemical milling.

Aerochem offers production-scale chemical milling on aluminum, titanium,
steel, nickel-base and super alloys. Aerochem also specializes in very large and
complex parts up to 50 feet long. Management believes that Aerochem is the
largest independent supplier of chemical milling services in the United States.
Many of the parts chemically milled by Aerochem are formed and machined by
AHF-Ducommun Incorporated.

AHF-Ducommun

AHF-Ducommun Incorporated ("AHF"), another Ducommun subsidiary, supplies
aircraft and aerospace prime contractors with

3
4
engineering, manufacturing and testing of complex components using stretch
forming and thermal forming processes and computer-controlled machining.
Stretch forming is a process for manufacturing large complex structural shapes
primarily from aluminum sheet metal extrusions. AHF has some of the largest and
most sophisticated stretch forming presses in the United States. Thermal forming
is a metal working process conducted at high temperature for manufacturing close
tolerance titanium components. AHF designs and manufactures the tooling required
for the production of parts in both forming processes. Certain components
manufactured by AHF are machined with precision milling equipment designed and
constructed by AHF. AHF also employs computer-aided design/manufacturing systems
with three 5-axis gantry profile milling machines and a 5-axis
numerically-controlled router to provide computer-controlled machining and
inspection of complex parts up to 82 feet long.

AHF has an integrated operation offering a broad range of capabilities. From
the design specifications of a customer, AHF is able to engineer, manufacture,
test and deliver the desired finished components. This process depends on the
skillful execution of several complex subtasks, including the design and
construction of special equipment. Management believes that the ability of AHF
to provide a full range of integrated capabilities represents a competitive
advantage.

Jay-El Products

Ducommun's Jay-El Products, Inc. ("Jay-El Products") subsidiary develops,
designs and manufactures illuminated switches, switch assemblies and keyboard
panels used in many military aircraft, helicopter, commercial aircraft and
spacecraft programs, as well as ground support equipment and naval vessels.
Jay-El Products manufactures switches and panels where high reliability is a
prerequisite. Keyboard panels are lighted, feature push button switches and are
available with sunlight readable displays. Some of the keyboard panels and
illuminated switches manufactured by Jay-El Products for military applications
are night vision goggle-compatible.

As a result of the acquisition of DMT in December 1994, Jay-El Products
develops, designs and manufactures microwave switches, filters and other
components used principally on commercial and military aircraft. DMT also has
developed several new products that apply its existing microwave technology to
nonaerospace markets, including the wireless communications field.

Jay-El Products sells most of its products pursuant to fixed price
contracts, either directly or as a subcontractor under United States government
defense contracts.

Brice Manufacturing

In December 1994, Ducommun acquired the capital stock of Brice Manufacturing
Company, Inc. ("Brice"). Brice is an after-market

4
5
supplier of aircraft seating products to many of the world's largest commercial
airlines. Products supplied by Brice include plastic and metal seat parts,
overhauled and refurbished seats, components for installation of in-flight
entertainment equipment, and other cabin interior components for commercial
aircraft. Management believes that Brice is the largest company in the United
States supplying airline seating and other cabin interior components exclusively
for the after-market.

3dbm

In January 1995, Ducommun acquired the capital stock of 3dbm. 3dbm develops,
designs and manufactures high-power expanders, repeaters, bi-directional
amplifiers, microcells and other wireless communication hardware used in
cellular telephone networks. 3dbm also designs and manufactures on a limited
basis microwave components and subsystems for both military and commercial
customers.

Defense and Space Programs

A major portion of sales is derived from United States government defense
programs and space programs. Approximately 36 percent of 1995 sales were related
to defense programs and approximately 9 percent of 1995 sales were related to
space programs. These programs could be adversely affected by reductions in
defense spending and other government budgetary pressures which would result in
reductions, delays or stretch-outs of existing and future programs. In addition,
the Company's contracts covering defense and space programs are subject to
termination at the convenience of the customer (as well as for default). In the
event of termination for convenience, the customer generally is required to pay
the costs incurred by the Company and certain other fees through the date of
termination.

Any substantial delay or suspension of production for the Space Shuttle
program would have a significant impact on the results of operations for the
Company.

Commercial Programs

Approximately 55 percent of 1995 sales were related to commercial aircraft
programs, and nonaerospace commercial applications. The Company's commercial
sales depend substantially on aircraft manufacturers' production rates, which in
turn depend upon deliveries of new aircraft. Deliveries of new aircraft by
aircraft manufacturers are dependent on the financial capacity of the airlines
and leasing companies to purchase the aircraft. Sales of commercial aircraft
could be affected as a result of changes in new aircraft orders, or the
cancellation or deferral by airlines of purchases of ordered aircraft.

Major Customers

The Company had substantial sales to Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman,
McDonnell Douglas, and Boeing. During 1995, sales to

5
6
Lockheed Martin were $8,163,000, or 8.9% of total sales; sales to Northrop
Grumman were $9,623,000, or 10.5% of total sales; sales to McDonnell Douglas
were $9,516,000, or 10.4% of total sales, and sales to Boeing were $5,215,000 or
5.7% of total sales. Sales to Lockheed Martin are primarily for the Space
Shuttle program. Sales to Northrop Grumman, McDonnell Douglas and Boeing are
diversified over a number of different commercial and military programs.

Competition

The Company competes with various companies, some of which are substantially
larger and have greater financial, technical and personnel resources. The
Company's ability to compete depends on the quality of goods and services,
competitive pricing and the ability to solve specific customer problems.

Backlog

At December 31, 1995, backlog believed to be firm was approximately
$92,600,000, including $26,000,000 for space-related business, compared to
$84,800,000 at December 31, 1994. Approximately $40,000,000 of total backlog
is expected to be delivered during 1996.

Environmental Matters

Aerochem uses various acid and alkaline solutions in the chemical milling
process, resulting in potential environmental hazards. Despite existing waste
recovery systems and continuing capital expenditures for waste reduction and
management, at least for the immediate future, Aerochem will remain dependent on
the availability and cost of remote hazardous waste disposal sites or other
alternative methods of disposal.

The Aerochem 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.

Aerochem has been notified by the United States Environmental Protection
Agency ("EPA") that Aerochem and other generators of hazardous waste disposed at
the Casmalia Resources Hazardous Waste Facility in California (the "Casmalia
Site"), an inactive hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facility,
may be responsible for certain costs associated with the cleanup and closure of
the Casmalia Site. Aerochem contributed less than 1/4 of 1% of the total waste
disposed at the Casmalia Site, and many other substantially larger companies and
governmental entities are involved at the Casmalia Site. The Company has
established a provision, based on currently available information, for
Aerochem's share of the estimated cost of cleanup and closure of the Casmalia
Site.

6
7
Ducommun's other subsidiaries are also subject to environmental laws and
regulations. However, the quantities of hazardous materials handled, hazardous
wastes generated and air emissions released by these subsidiaries are relatively
small.

The Company anticipates that capital expenditures will continue to be
required for the foreseeable future to upgrade and maintain its environmental
compliance efforts. The Company does not expect to spend a material amount on
capital expenditures for environmental compliance during 1996.

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.

Employees

At December 31, 1995, the Company employed 808 persons.

Business Segment Information

The Company operates in only one business segment.

Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export Sales

In 1995, 1994 and 1993, foreign sales to manufacturers world-wide were
$23,497,000, $11,515,000 and $8,672,000, respectively.

The amounts of revenue, profitability and identifiable assets attributable
to foreign operations are not material when compared with the revenue,
profitability and identifiable assets attributed to Unites States domestic
operations during 1995, 1994 and 1993. Canada is the only country in which the
Company had sales of 5% or more of total sales, with sales of $4,518,000,
$5,944,000 and $3,445,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Company occupies approximately 20 facilities with a total area of over
748,000 square feet, including both owned and leased properties. At December 31,
1995, facilities which were in excess of 60,000 square feet each were occupied
as follows:



Square Expiration
Location Company Feet of Lease
- -------- ------- ------ ----------

El Mirage, California Aerochem 74,300 Owned
Orange, California Aerochem 76,200 Owned
Carson, California AHF-Ducommun 130,400 1996-01
Carson, California AHF-Ducommun 108,000 Owned
Carson, California Jay-El Products 117,000 1997

8
The Company's facilities are, for the most part, fully utilized, although
excess capacity exists from time to time based on product mix and demand.
Management believes that these properties are in good condition and suitable
for their present use.

Although the Company maintains standard property casualty insurance covering
its properties, the Company does not carry any earthquake insurance because of
the cost of such insurance. All of the Company's properties are located in
Southern California, an area subject to frequent and sometimes severe earthquake
activity.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS ON
FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES

To the Board of Directors
of Ducommun Incorporated

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements referred to in our report
dated February 20, 1996 appearing on page 25 of the 1995 Annual Report to
Shareholders of Ducommun Incorporated (which report and consolidated financial
statements are incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form 10-K)
also included an audit of the Financial Statement Schedule listed in Item 14(a)
