(“DTI”), designs, engineers and manufactures electromechanical components and subassemblies, and provides engineering, technical and program management services (including design, development, integration and test of prototype products) principally for the aerospace and military markets. DAS provides aluminum stretch-forming, titanium and aluminum hot-forming, machining, composite lay-up, metal bonding, and chemical milling services principally for domestic and foreign commercial and military aircraft, helicopter and space programs. DTI designs and manufactures illuminated push button switches and panels, microwave and millimeterwave switches and filters, fractional horsepower motors and resolvers, and mechanical and electromechanical subassemblies, and provides engineering, technical and program management services. Components and assemblies are provided principally for domestic and foreign commercial and military aircraft, helicopter and space programs as well as selected nonaerospace applications. Engineering, technical and program management services are provided principally for advanced weapons and missile defense systems.

Business Segment Information

The Company supplies products and services to the aerospace industry. The Company’s subsidiaries are organized into two strategic businesses (DAS and DTI), each of which is a reportable operating segment. The accounting policies of the Company and its two segments are the same.

Ducommun AeroStructures, Inc.

Stretch-Forming, Hot-Forming and Machining

DAS supplies the aerospace industry with engineering and manufacturing of complex components using stretch-forming and hot-forming processes and computer-controlled machining. Stretch-forming is a process for manufacturing large, complex structural shapes primarily from aluminum sheet metal extrusions. DAS has some of the largest and most sophisticated stretch-forming presses in the United States. Hot-forming is a metal working process conducted at high temperature for manufacturing close-tolerance titanium and aluminum components. DAS designs and manufactures the tooling required for the production

5

of parts in these forming processes. Certain components manufactured by DAS are machined with precision milling equipment, including three 5-axis gantry profile milling machines and seven 5-axis numerically-controlled routers to provide computer-controlled machining and inspection of complex parts up to 100 feet long.

Composites and Metal Bonding

DAS engineers and manufactures metal, fiberglass and carbon composite aerostructures. DAS produces helicopter main and tail rotor blades, and adhesive bonded assemblies, including spoilers, winglets, and fuselage structural panels for aircraft.

Chemical Milling

DAS is a major supplier of close tolerance chemical milling services for the aerospace industry. Chemical milling removes material in specific patterns to reduce weight in areas where full material thickness is not required. This sophisticated etching process enables DAS to produce lightweight, high-strength designs that would be impractical to produce by conventional means. DAS offers production-scale chemical milling on aluminum, titanium, steel, nickel-base and super alloys. Jet engine components, wing leading edges and fuselage skins are examples of products that require chemical milling.

Ducommun Technologies, Inc.

Switches and Related Components

DTI develops, designs and manufactures illuminated switches, switch assemblies, keyboard panels, and edge lit panels, used in many military and commercial aircraft, helicopter, and space programs. DTI manufactures switches and panels where high reliability is a prerequisite. DTI also develops, designs and manufactures microwave and millimeterwave switches, filters, and other components used principally on commercial and military aircraft and satellites. In addition, DTI develops, designs and manufactures high precision actuators, stepper motors, fractional horsepower motors and resolvers principally for space and oil service applications, and microwave and millimeterwave products for certain non-aerospace applications.

Mechanical and Electromechanical Subassemblies

DTI is a leading manufacturer of mechanical and electromechanical subassemblies for the defense electronics and commercial aircraft markets. DTI has a fully integrated manufacturing capability, including manufacturing engineering, fabrication, machining, assembly, electronic integration and related processes. DTI’s products include sophisticated radar enclosures, gyroscopes and indicators, aircraft avionics racks, and shipboard communications and control enclosures.

Engineering, Technical and Program Management Services

DTI (through its Miltec subsidiary) is a leading provider of missile and aerospace systems design, development, integration and testing. Engineering, technical and program management services are provided principally for advanced weapons systems and missile defense primarily for United States defense, space and homeland security programs.

SALES AND MARKETING

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 sea-based applications. Engineering, technical and program management services are provided principally for United States defense, space and homeland security programs. The Company’s defense business is diversified among a number of military manufacturers and programs. Sales related to military programs were approximately 62% of total sales in 2009, 59% of total sales in 2008 and 60% of total sales in 2007. In the space sector, the Company continues to support various unmanned launch vehicle and satellite programs. Sales related to space programs were approximately 2% of total sales in 2009, 2% of total sales in 2008 and 3% of total sales in 2007.

A major portion of sales is derived from United States government defense programs and space programs, subjecting the Company to various laws and regulations that are more restrictive than those applicable to the private sector. These defense and space 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. Additionally, the Company’s contracts may be subject to reductions or modifications in the event of changes in government requirements. Although the Company’s fixed-price contracts generally permit it to realize increased profits if costs are less than projected, the Company bears the risk that increased or unexpected costs may reduce profits or cause losses on the contracts. The accuracy and appropriateness of certain costs and expenses used to substantiate the Company’s direct and indirect costs for the United States government are subject to extensive regulation and audit by the Defense Contract Audit Agency, an arm of the Department of Defense. In addition, many of 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.

The Company’s commercial business is represented on many of today’s major commercial aircraft. Sales related to commercial business were approximately 36% of total sales in 2009, 39% of total sales in 2008 and 37% of total sales in 2007. 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. The Company’s sales for commercial aircraft programs also could be affected by changes in its customers’ inventory levels and changes in its customers’ aircraft production build rates.

MAJOR CUSTOMERS

The Company had substantial sales to Boeing, Raytheon, the United States government and United Technologies. During 2009, sales to Boeing were $133,007,000, or approximately 31% of total sales; sales to Raytheon were $34,009,000, or approximately 8% of total sales; sales to the United States government were $29,224,000, or approximately 7% of total sales; and sales to United Technologies were $42,117,000, or approximately 10% of total sales. Sales to Boeing, Raytheon, the United States government and United Technologies are diversified over a number of different programs.

INFORMATION ABOUT FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC OPERATIONS AND EXPORT SALES

In 2009, 2008 and 2007, sales to foreign customers worldwide were $32,121,000, $32,850,000 and $27,707,000, respectively. The Company has manufacturing facilities in Thailand and Mexico. The amounts of revenues, profitability and identifiable assets attributable to foreign sales activity were not material when compared with the revenue, profitability and identifiable assets attributed to United States domestic operations during 2009, 2008 and 2007. The Company had no sales to a foreign country greater than 3% of total sales in 2009, 2008 and 2007. The Company is not subject to any significant foreign currency risks since all sales are made in United States dollars.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The Company performs concurrent engineering with its customers and product development activities under Company-funded programs and under contracts with others. Concurrent engineering and product development activities are performed for commercial, military and space applications. The Company also performs high technology systems engineering and analysis, principally under customer-funded contracts, with a focus on sensors system simulation, engineering and integration.

RAW MATERIALS AND COMPONENTS

Raw materials and components used in the manufacture of the Company’s products, including aluminum, titanium, steel and carbon fibers, are generally available from a number of vendors and are generally in adequate supply. However, the Company, from time to time, has experienced increases in lead times for and a deterioration in availability of, aluminum, titanium and certain other materials. Moreover, certain components, supplies and raw materials for the Company’s operations are purchased from single sources. In such instances, the Company strives to develop alternative sources and design modifications to minimize the potential for business interruptions.

COMPETITION

The aerospace industry is highly competitive, and the Company’s products and services are affected by varying degrees of competition. The Company competes worldwide with domestic and international companies in most markets it services, some of which are substantially larger and have greater financial, sales, technical and personnel resources. Larger competitors offering a wider array of products and services than those offered by the Company can have a competitive advantage by offering potential customers bundled products and services that the Company cannot match. The Company’s ability to compete depends principally on the quality of its goods and services, competitive pricing, product performance, design and engineering capabilities, new product innovation and the ability to solve specific customer problems.

PATENTS AND LICENSES

The Company has several patents, but it does not believe that its operations are dependent on any single patent or group of patents. In general, the Company relies on technical superiority, continual product improvement, exclusive product features, superior lead time, on-time delivery performance, quality and customer relationships to maintain its competitive advantage.

BACKLOG

Backlog is subject to delivery delays or program cancellations, which are beyond the Company’s control. As of December 31, 2009, backlog believed to be firm was approximately $367,138,000, compared to $475,800,000 at December 31, 2008. The reduction in year-over-year backlog is reflective of (i) slower than anticipated order releases from the regional and business aircraft customers due primarily to the changing market demand in 2009, (ii) planned reductions in the Apache helicopter program, (iii) late order release on Sikorsky Blackhawk helicopter and F-18 programs, and (iv) declines in the engineering services business resulting from lower RDT&E budgets, reduced demand for specific engineering services as a result of increases in government in-sourcing and reduced Congressional earmarks. Approximately $244,000,000 of total backlog is expected to be delivered during 2010. The backlog at December 31, 2009 included the following programs:

Trends in the Company’s overall level of backlog, however, 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.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

The Company’s business, operations and facilities are subject to numerous stringent federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations issued by government agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”). Among other matters, these regulatory authorities impose requirements that regulate the emission, discharge, generation, management, transportation and disposal of hazardous materials, pollutants and contaminants. These regulations govern public and private response actions to hazardous or regulated substances that may be or have been released to the environment, and they require the Company to obtain and maintain licenses and permits in connection with its operations. The Company may also be required to investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal of materials at sites associated with past and present operations. Additionally, this extensive regulatory framework imposes significant compliance burdens and risks on the Company. 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 2010.

9

The DAS chemical milling business 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, this business will remain dependent on the availability and cost of remote hazardous waste disposal sites or other alternative methods of disposal.

DAS has been directed by California environmental agencies to investigate and take corrective action for ground water contamination at its facilities located in El Mirage and Monrovia, California. Based on currently available information, the Company has established a reserve for its estimated liability for such investigation and corrective action in the approximate amount of $1,247,000. DAS also faces liability as a potentially responsible party for hazardous waste disposed at two landfills located in Casmalia and West Covina, California. DAS and other companies and government entities have entered into consent decrees with respect to each landfill with the United States Environmental Protection Agency and/or California environmental agencies under which certain investigation, remediation and maintenance activities are being performed. Based upon currently available information, the Company has established a reserve for its estimated liability in connection with the landfills in the approximate amount of $1,074,000. The Company’s ultimate liability in connection with these matters will depend upon a number of factors, including changes in existing laws and regulations, the design and cost of construction, operation and maintenance activities, and the allocation of liability among potentially responsible parties.

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.

EMPLOYEES

At December 31, 2009 the Company employed 1,872 persons. The Company’s DAS subsidiary is a party to a collective bargaining agreement, expiring July 1, 2012, with labor unions at its Monrovia, California facility covering 322 full-time hourly employees at year end 2009. If the unionized workers were to engage in a strike or other work stoppage, if DAS is unable to negotiate acceptable collective bargaining agreements with the unions, or if other employees were to become unionized, the Company could experience a significant disruption of the Company’s operations and higher ongoing labor costs and possible loss of customer contracts, which could have an adverse effect on its business and results of operations. The Company has not experienced any material labor-related work stoppage and considers its relations with its employees to be good.

AVAILABLE INFORMATION

The Company’s Internet website address is www.ducommun.com. The Company makes available through its Internet website its annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports as soon as reasonably practicable after filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

10

The Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be affected by known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors. Any of these risks, uncertainties and other factors could cause the Company’s future financial results to differ materially from recent financial results or from currently anticipated future financial results. In addition to those noted elsewhere in this report, the Company is subject to the following risks and uncertainties:

Aerospace Markets Are Cyclical

The aerospace markets in which the Company sells its products are cyclical and have experienced periodic declines. The Company’s sales are, therefore, unpredictable and tend to fluctuate based on a number of factors, including economic conditions and developments affecting the aerospace industry and the customers served.

Military and Space-Related Products Are Dependent Upon Government Spending

In 2009 approximately 64% of sales were derived from military and space markets. These markets are largely dependent upon government spending, particularly by the United States government. Changes in the nature or levels of spending for military and space could improve or negatively impact the Company’s prospects in its military and space markets.

The Company Is Dependent on Boeing Commercial Aircraft, the C-17 Aircraft and Apache Helicopter and United Technologies Sikorsky Blackhawk Helicopter Programs

In 2009 approximately 17% of its sales were for Boeing commercial aircraft, 10% of its sales were for the C-17 aircraft, 9% of its sales were for the United Technologies (Sikorsky Blackhawk helicopter) program and 8% of its sales were for the Apache helicopter. During 2010, the production rate and the Company’s sales for the Apache helicopter program are expected to be reduced. Sales in 2010 for the Apache helicopter program are expected to be 25% to 35% below 2009 levels. The Company’s sales for Boeing commercial aircraft and the C-17 aircraft are principally for new aircraft production; and the Company’s sales for the Apache helicopter are principally for replacement rotor blades. Any significant change in production rates for Boeing commercial aircraft, the C-17 aircraft, United Technologies (Sikorsky Blackhawk helicopter), and the replacement rate for the Apache helicopter blades, would have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows. In addition, there is no guarantee that the Company’s current significant customers will continue to buy products from the Company at current levels. The loss of a key customer could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Deterioration in Credit Markets Could Adversely Impact the Company

The deterioration in credit markets could adversely impact the Company. The Company depends upon cash flow from operations and its revolving credit facility to provide liquidity. The Company’s credit agreement currently matures on June 30, 2014. Because of the Company’s relatively low leverage, the Company does not expect any short-term liquidity issues. However, the availability of credit on acceptable terms is necessary to support the Company’s growth and acquisition strategy.

11

The Company Is Experiencing Competitive Pricing Pressures

The aerospace industry is highly competitive and competitive pressures may adversely affect the Company. The Company competes worldwide with a number of domestic and international companies that are larger than it in terms of resources and market share. The Company is experiencing competitive pricing pressures in both its DAS and DTI businesses. These pressures have had, and are expected to continue to have, an adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and operating results.

The Company Faces Risks of Cost Overruns and Losses on Fixed-Price Contracts

The Company sells many of its products under firm, fixed-price contracts providing for a fixed price for the products regardless of the production costs incurred by the Company. As a result, manufacturing inefficiencies, start-up costs and other factors may result in cost overruns and losses on contracts. The cost of producing products also may be adversely affected by increases in the cost of labor, materials, outside processing, overhead and other factors. In many cases, the Company makes multiyear firm, fixed-price commitments to its customers, without assurance the Company’s anticipated production costs will be achieved.

Risks Associated With Foreign Operations Could Adversely Impact the Company

The Company has facilities in Thailand and Mexico. Doing business in foreign countries is subject to various risks, including political instability, local economic conditions, foreign currency fluctuations, foreign government regulatory requirements, trade tariffs, and the potentially limited availability of skilled labor in proximity to the Company’s facilities.

The Company’s Products and Processes Are Subject to Risks from Changes in Technology

The Company’s products and processes are subject to risks of obsolescence as a result of changes in technology. To address this risk, the Company invests in product design and development, and for capital expenditures. There can be no guarantee that the Company’s product design and development efforts will be successful, or funds required to be invested for product design and development and capital expenditures will not increase materially in the future.

The Company Faces Risks Associated with Acquisitions and Dispositions of Businesses

A key element of the Company’s long-term strategy has been growth through acquisitions. The Company is continuously reviewing and actively pursuing acquisitions, including acquisitions outside of its current aerospace markets. Acquisitions may require the Company to incur additional indebtedness, resulting in increased leverage. Any significant acquisition may result in a material weakening of the Company’s financial position and a material increase in the Company’s cost of borrowings. Acquisitions also may require the Company to issue additional equity, resulting in dilution to existing stockholders. This additional financing for acquisitions and capital expenditures may not be available on terms acceptable or favorable to the Company. Acquired businesses may not achieve anticipated results, and could result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The Company also periodically reviews its existing businesses to determine if they are consistent with the Company’s strategy. The Company has sold, and may sell in the future, business units and product lines, which may result in either a gain or loss on disposition.

12

The Company’s acquisition strategy exposes it to risks. The Company may not be able to consummate acquisitions on satisfactory terms or, if any acquisitions are consummated, to satisfactorily integrate these acquired businesses. The Company’s ability to grow by acquisition is dependent upon, among other factors, the availability of suitable acquisition candidates. Growth by acquisition involves risks that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results, including difficulties in integrating the operations and personnel of acquired companies, the potential amortization of acquired intangible assets, the potential impairment of goodwill and the potential loss of key customers or employees of acquired companies.

Goodwill Could Be Impaired in the Future

In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $12,936,000 at DTI (relating to its Miltec reporting unit) for the impairment of goodwill. The test as of December 31, 2009 indicated that the book value of Miltec exceeded the fair value of the business. The impairment charge was primarily driven by reductions in the U.S. Government’s budgetary forecast and funding levels in the military markets resulting in declines in the engineering services business from lower RDT&E budgets, reduced demand for specific engineering services as a result of increases in government in-sourcing and reduced Congressional earmarks. As a result of these market changes, the Company lowered its forecasted multiyear sales and cash flow analyses developed in 2008. The charge reduced goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition of Miltec and does not impact the company’s normal business operations.

In assessing the recoverability of the Company’s goodwill at December 31, 2009, management was required to make certain critical estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions included that during the next several years the Company will make improvements in manufacturing efficiency, achieve reductions in operating costs, and obtain increases in sales and backlog. Due to many variables inherent in the estimation of a business’s fair value and the relative size of the Company’s recorded goodwill, differences in estimates and assumptions may have a material effect on the results of the Company’s impairment analysis. If any of these or other estimates and assumptions are not realized in the future, or if market multiples decline the Company may be required to record an additional impairment charge for the goodwill. The goodwill of the Company was $100,442,000 at December 31, 2009.

Significant Consolidation in the Aerospace Industry Could Adversely Affect the Company’s Business and Financial Results

The aerospace industry is experiencing significant consolidation, including the Company’s customers, competitors and suppliers. Consolidation among the Company’s customers may result in delays in the award of new contracts and losses of existing business. Consolidation among the Company’s competitors may result in larger competitors with greater resources and market share, which could adversely affect the Company’s ability to compete successfully. Consolidation among the Company’s suppliers may result in fewer sources of supply and increased cost to the Company.

The Company’s Failure to Meet Quality or Delivery Expectations of Customers Could Adversely Affect the Company’s Business and Financial Results

The Company’s customers have increased, and are expected to increase further in the future, their expectations with respect to the on-time delivery and quality of the Company’s products. In some cases, the Company does not presently satisfy these customer expectations,

13

particularly with respect to on-time delivery. If the Company fails to meet the quality or delivery expectations of its customers, this failure could lead to the loss of one or more significant customers of the Company.

Environmental Liabilities Could Adversely Affect the Company’s Financial Results

The Company is subject to various environmental laws and regulations. The Company’s DAS subsidiary has been directed by government environmental agencies to investigate and take corrective action for groundwater contamination at two of its facilities. DAS is also a potentially responsible party at certain sites at which it previously disposed of hazardous wastes. There can be no assurance that future developments, lawsuits and administrative actions, and liabilities relating to environmental matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows.

The DAS chemical milling business 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, this business will remain dependent on the availability and cost of remote hazardous waste disposal sites or other alternative methods of disposal.

Product Liability Claims in Excess of Insurance Could Adversely Affect the Company’s Financial Results and Financial Condition

The Company faces potential liability for personal injury or death as a result of the failure of products designed or manufactured by the Company. Although the Company maintains product liability insurance, any material product liability not covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Damage or Destruction of the Company’s Facilities Caused by Earthquake or Other Causes Could Adversely Affect the Company’s Financial Results and Financial Condition

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. Most of the Company’s properties are located in Southern California, an area subject to frequent and sometimes severe earthquake activity. Even if covered by insurance, any significant damage or destruction of the Company’s facilities could result in the inability to meet customer delivery schedules and may result in the loss of customers and significant additional costs to the Company. As a result, any significant damage or destruction of the Company’s properties could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

Terrorist Attacks May Adversely Impact the Company’s Operations

There can be no assurance that the current world political and military tensions, or the United States military actions, will not lead to acts of terrorism and civil disturbances in the United States or elsewhere. These attacks may strike directly at the physical facilities of the Company, its suppliers or its customers. Such attacks could have an adverse impact on the Company’s domestic and international sales, supply chain, production capabilities, insurance premiums or ability to purchase insurance, thereby adversely affecting the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, the consequences of terrorist attacks and armed conflicts are unpredictable, and their long-term effects upon the Company are uncertain.

The Company Is Dependent on Its Ability to Attract and Retain Key Personnel

The Company’s success depends in part upon its ability to attract and retain key engineering, technical and managerial personnel. The Company faces competition for management, engineering and technical personnel from other companies and organizations. Therefore, the Company may not be able to retain its existing management and other key personnel, or be able to fill new management, engineering and technical positions created as a result of expansion or turnover of existing personnel. The loss of members of the Company’s senior management group, or key engineering and technical personnel, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense Could Change

Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the stock-based compensation awards and stock price volatility. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation awards represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change or if the Company was to use different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, the Company is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. If the actual forfeiture rate is materially different from the estimated forfeiture rate, the stock-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what has been recorded in the current period.

Effective Income Tax Rate Could Change

The Company’s effective income tax rate for 2009, 2008 and 2007, was approximately 26%, 23% and 28%, respectively, compared to the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% and state income tax rates ranging from 6% to 9%, for each of the years. The Company’s effective tax rate was lower than the statutory rates in recent years primarily due to the benefit of research and development tax credits (which currently has not been extended through 2010), the reduction of tax reserves and the deduction for qualified domestic production activities. The effective tax rate for the Company could be significantly higher in the future than it has been in recent years due to changes in the Company’s level or sources of income, changes in the Company’s spending, eligibility for research and development tax credits, and changes in tax laws.

The Company occupies approximately 21 facilities with a total office and manufacturing area of over 1,458,000 square feet, including both owned and leased properties. At December 31, 2009, facilities which were in excess of 50,000 square feet each were occupied as follows:

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. Most of the Company’s properties are located in Southern California, an area subject to frequent and sometimes severe earthquake activity.

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 “District Court”). 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 aircraft ultimately sold to the United States government. The number of Boeing aircraft subject to the lawsuit has been reduced to 25 aircraft following the District Court’s granting of partial summary judgment in favor of Boeing and Ducommun. 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. 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.

None.

Overview

Ducommun Incorporated (“Ducommun” or the “Company”), through its subsidiaries 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, helicopter, missile and space programs.

Domestic commercial aircraft programs include the Boeing 737NG, 747, 767, 777 and 787. 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 programs include the Boeing C-17, F-15 and F-18 and Lockheed Martin F-16 and F-22 aircraft, and various aircraft and shipboard electronics upgrade programs. Commercial and military helicopter programs include helicopters manufactured by Boeing (principally the Apache and Chinook helicopters), United Technologies, Bell, Augusta and Carson. The Company also supports various unmanned space launch vehicle and satellite programs.

In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $12,936,000 at DTI (relating to its Miltec reporting unit) for the impairment of goodwill. In accordance with ASC 350—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company performed its required annual impairment test for goodwill using a discounted cash flow analysis supported by comparative market multiples to determine the fair values of its businesses versus their book values. The test as of December 31, 2009 indicated the book value of Miltec exceeded the fair value of the business. The impairment charge was primarily driven by reductions in the U.S. Government’s budgetary forecast and funding levels in the military markets resulting in declines in the engineering services business from lower RDT&E budgets, reduced demand for specific engineering services as a result of increases in government in-sourcing and reduced Congressional earmarks. As a result of these market changes, the Company lowered its forecasted multiyear sales and cash flow analyses developed in 2008. Because the majority of Miltec’s business is U.S. Government related, the reduction in the U.S. Defense budget has had an unfavorable impact on the fair value assessment. In the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $13,064,000 at DTI (relating to its Miltec reporting unit) for the impairment of goodwill. The test as of December 31, 2008 indicated the book value of Miltec exceeded the fair value of the business. The impairment charge was primarily driven by adverse equity market conditions that caused a decrease in current market multiples and the Company’s stock price as of December 31, 2008 compared with the test performed as of December 31, 2007. Thus the impairment charge recorded in 2009 was driven by external market factors as opposed to the reduction in stock price multiples which was the primary cause for the impairment charge in 2008. The charge in both 2009 and 2008 reduced goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition of Miltec and did not impact the Company’s normal business operations. The principal factors used in the discounted cash flow analysis requiring judgment are the projected results of operations, weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”), and terminal value assumptions. The WACC takes into account the relative weights of each component of the Company’s consolidated capital structure (equity and debt) and represents the expected cost of new capital adjusted as appropriate to consider risk profiles associated with growth projection risks. The terminal value assumptions are applied to the final year of discounted cash flow model. Due to many variables inherent in the estimation of a business’s fair value and the relative size of the Company’s recorded goodwill, differences in assumptions may have a

21

material effect on the results of the Company’s impairment analysis. Prior to recording the goodwill impairment charge at Miltec, the Company tested the purchased intangible assets and other long-lived assets at the business as required by ASC 360—Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, and the carrying value of these assets was determined not to be impaired.

On December 23, 2008, the Company acquired DynaBil Industries, Inc., a privately-owned company based in Coxsackie, New York, for $45,386,000 (net of cash acquired and excluding acquisition costs) and subsequently changed its name to Ducommun AeroStructures New York Inc. (“DAS-New York”). DAS-New York is a leading provider of titanium and aluminum structural components and assemblies for commercial and military aerospace applications. The acquisition was funded from internally generated cash, notes to the sellers, and borrowings of approximately $10,500,000 under the Company’s credit agreement.

Sales, gross profit as a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of sales, the effective tax rate and the diluted earnings per share in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were as follows:

The Company manufactures components and assemblies principally for domestic and foreign commercial and military aircraft, helicopter 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 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, was approximately as follows:

The Company is dependent on Boeing commercial aircraft, the C-17 aircraft and the Apache and Blackhawk helicopter programs. Sales to these programs, as a percentage of total sales, for 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were approximately as follows:

22

Net sales in 2009 were $430,748,000, compared to net sales of $403,803,000 for 2008. The increase in net sales in 2009 from 2008 was primarily due to sales from DAS-New York, which was acquired in December 2008. Sales in 2009 from DAS-New York were $42,103,000. Sales for the balance of the Company’s business (excluding DAS-New York) was $15,158,000 lower, primarily due to a decrease in sales for the Apache helicopter program and significant decreases in the regional and business aircraft markets which began to experience a slowdown at the beginning of 2009.

Operating income for 2009 was lower than 2008. Operating income for 2009 was negatively impacted by inventory reserves and valuation adjustments and adjustments for uncollected sales tax on customer sales at DAS. In 2009, the Company recorded an inventory reserve of $4,359,000 related to inventory on-hand for Eclipse, which filed for bankruptcy, and an inventory valuation adjustment of $782,000 related to costs that were capitalized in error in prior periods. In 2009 the Company recorded a liability for uncollected sales taxes of $617,000 on tooling sales to its customers during the period 2007 through 2009. Operating income for 2009 and 2008 was negatively impacted by non-cash goodwill impairment at Ducommun Technologies, Inc. (“DTI”) (relating to its Miltec reporting unit) of $12,936,000 and $13,064,000, respectively. Operating income for 2009 was favorably impacted by a reduction in environmental reserves of $2,382,000 as result of changes in the Company’s estimate of previously recorded environmental liabilities.

Interest expense was higher in 2009, due to higher debt levels and higher interest rates. Income tax expense decrease in 2009 due to lower income before taxes, partially offset by a higher effective tax rate in 2009.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are those accounting policies that can have a significant impact on the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations, and that require the use of subjective estimates based upon past experience and management’s judgment. Because of the uncertainty inherent in such estimates, actual results may differ from these estimates. Below are those policies applied in preparing our financial statements that management believes are the most dependent on the application of estimates and assumptions. For additional accounting policies, see Note 1 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

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 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 service contracts on the percentage-of-completion method measured by the percentage of costs incurred to estimated total costs.

23

Provision for Estimated Losses on Contracts

The Company records provisions for estimated losses on contracts considering total estimated costs to complete the contract compared to total anticipated revenues in the period in which such losses are identified. The provisions for estimated losses on contracts require management to make certain estimates and assumptions, including those with respect to the future revenue under a contract and the future cost to complete the contract. Management’s estimate of the future cost to complete a contract may include assumptions as to improvements in manufacturing efficiency and reductions in operating and material costs. If any of these or other assumptions and estimates do not materialize in the future, the Company may be required to record additional provisions for estimated losses on contracts.

Goodwill

The Company’s business acquisitions have resulted in goodwill. In assessing the recoverability of the Company’s goodwill, management must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows, comparable company analyses, discount rates and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets. If actual results do not meet these estimates, if these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, or if adverse equity market conditions cause a decrease in current market multiples and the Company’s stock price the Company may be required to record additional impairment charges for these assets. In the event that a goodwill impairment charge is required, it could adversely affect the operating results and financial position of the Company.

Other Intangible Assets

The Company amortizes purchased other intangible assets with finite lives over the estimated economic lives of the assets, ranging from one to fourteen years generally using the straight-line method. The value of other intangibles acquired through business combinations has been estimated using present value techniques which involve estimates of future cash flows. Actual results could vary, potentially resulting in impairment charges.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The Company uses a Black-Scholes valuation model in determining the stock-based compensation expense for options, net of an estimated forfeiture rate, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. The Company has two award populations, one with an option vesting term of four years and the other with an option vesting term of one year. The Company estimated the forfeiture rate based on its historic experience.

For performance and restricted stock units, the Company calculates compensation expense, net of an estimated forfeiture rate, on a straight line basis over the requisite service/performance period of the awards. The performance stock units vest based on a three-year cumulative performance cycle. The Company has two restricted stock units, one restricted stock unit vests at the end of five years and the other restricted stock unit vests equally over a three year period ending in 2011. The Company estimates the forfeiture rate based on its historic experience.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventoried costs include raw materials, outside processing, direct labor and

24

allocated overhead, adjusted for any abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) incurred, but do not include any selling, general and administrative expense. Costs under long-term contracts are accumulated into, and removed from, inventory on the same basis as other contracts. The Company assesses the inventory carrying value and reduces it, if necessary, to its net realizable value based on customer orders on hand, and internal demand forecasts using management’s best estimates given information currently available. The Company’s customer demand can fluctuate significantly caused by factors beyond the control of the Company. The Company maintains an allowance for potentially excess and obsolete inventories and inventories that are carried at costs that are higher than their estimated net realizable values. If market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, such as an unanticipated decline in demand and not meeting expectations, inventory write-downs may be required.

Environmental Liabilities

Environmental liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and costs can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the completion of a feasibility study or the Company’s commitment to a formal plan of action. Further, the Company reviews and updates its environmental accruals as circumstances change and/or addition information is obtained that reasonably could be expected to have a meaningful effect on the outcome of a matter or the estimated cost thereof.

Acquisitions

On December 23, 2008, the Company acquired DynaBil Industries, Inc., a privately-owned company based in Coxsackie, New York, for $45,386,000 (net of cash acquired and excluding acquisition costs) and subsequently changed its name to Ducommun AeroStructures, New York Inc. (“DAS-New York”). DAS-New York is a leading provider of titanium and aluminum structural components and assemblies for commercial and military aerospace applications. The acquisition was funded from internally generated cash, notes to the sellers, and borrowings of approximately $10,500,000 under the Company’s credit agreement. The operating results for this acquisition have been included in the consolidated statements of income since the date of the acquisition.

Results of Operations

2009 Compared to 2008

Net sales in 2009 were $430,748,000, compared to net sales of $403,803,000 for 2008. Net sales in 2009 increased 7% from 2008 primarily due to sales from DAS-New York, which was acquired in December 2008. Sales in 2009 from DAS-New York were $42,103,000. Excluding DAS-New York sales were lower in 2009, principally due to lower sales for the Apache helicopter and regional and business aircraft programs. The Company’s mix of business in 2009 was approximately 62% military, 36% commercial, and 2% space, compared to 59% military, 39% commercial, and 2% space in 2008.

25

The Company had substantial sales, through both of its business segments, to Boeing, Raytheon, the United States government, and United Technologies. During 2009 and 2008, sales to Boeing, Raytheon, the United States government and United Technologies were as follows:

At December 31, 2009, trade receivables from Boeing, Raytheon, the United States government and United Technologies were $8,719,000, $4,321,000, $1,742,000 and $2,295,000, respectively. The sales and receivables relating to Boeing, Raytheon, the United States government and United Technologies are diversified over a number of different commercial, military and space 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 sea-based applications. Engineering, technical and program management services are provided principally for United States defense, space and homeland security programs. The Company’s defense business is diversified among military manufacturers and programs. Sales related to military programs were approximately $266,922,000, or 62% of total sales, in 2009, compared to $238,309,000, or 59% of total sales, in 2008. The increase in military sales in 2009 resulted principally from an increase in sales to the Blackhawk helicopter, primarily at DAS-New York, the X-47B UCAS and the C-17 programs at DAS and an increase in sales to the F-18 aircraft program at DTI, partially offset by a reduction in sales to the Apache helicopter program at DAS and a reduction in sales to the F-15 aircraft program at DTI.

Military sales during 2009 and 2008 included the following programs:

The Company’s commercial business is represented on many of today’s major commercial aircraft. Sales related to commercial business were approximately $155,444,000, or 36% of total sales in 2009, compared to $156,689,000, or 39% of total sales in 2008. The reduction in commercial sales during 2009 compared to 2008 was primarily due to a decline in demand in the regional jet and aviation markets, which began to experience a slowdown at the

26

beginning of 2009, partially offset by $14,086,000 of sales from DAS-New York, which was acquired in December 2008, and an increase of $4,180,000 in sales to the Boeing 737NG program. During 2009, the Company experienced no major program cancellations, except for the discontinuation of the Eclipse program. During 2009, sales to commercial business were lower than 2008 in the majority of the Company’s commercial aircraft programs. Sales to the Boeing 737NG program accounted for approximately $42,439,000 in sales in 2009, compared to $38,259,000 in sales in 2008. The Boeing 777 program accounted for approximately $16,395,000 in sales in 2009, of which $6,272,000 of sales were from DAS-New York, compared to $10,400,000 in sales in 2008.

In the space sector, the Company produces components for a variety of unmanned launch vehicles and satellite programs and provides engineering services. Sales related to space programs were approximately $8,382,000, or 2% of total sales in 2009, compared to $8,805,000, or 2% of total sales in 2008. The decrease in sales for space programs resulted principally from a decrease in engineering services at DTI.

Backlog is subject to delivery delays or program cancellations, which are beyond the Company’s control. As of December 31, 2009, backlog believed to be firm was approximately $367,138,000, compared to $475,800,000 at December 31, 2008. The reduction in year-over-year backlog is reflective of (i) slower than anticipated order releases from the regional and business aircraft customers due primarily to the changing market demand in 2009, (ii) planned reductions in the Apache helicopter program, (iii) late order release on Sikorsky Blackhawk helicopter and F-18 programs, and (iv) declines in the engineering services business resulting from lower RDT&E budgets, reduced demand for specific engineering services as a result of increases in government in-sourcing and reduced Congressional earmarks. Approximately $244,000,000 of total backlog is expected to be delivered during 2010. The backlog at December 31, 2009 included the following programs:

Trends in the Company’s overall level of backlog, however, 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

Gross profit, as a percent of sales, decreased to 18.3% in 2009 from 20.3% in 2008. Gross profit margin was negatively impacted by inventory reserves and valuation adjustments of $5,141,000, a liability recorded for uncollected sales taxes from customers of $617,000 and an unfavorable change in sales mix at DAS, partially offset by an improvement in operating performance at DTI.

27

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased to $49,615,000, or 11.5% of sales in 2009, compared to $50,548,000, or 12.5% of sales in 2008. The decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to a reduction in environmental reserves of $2,241,000 and lower personnel costs, partially offset by a full year of expenses at DAS-New York, including the amortization of certain intangible assets of $1,487,000 for DAS-New York.

In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $12,936,000 at DTI (relating to its Miltec reporting unit) for the impairment of goodwill. In accordance with ASC 350 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company performed its required annual impairment test for goodwill using a discounted cash flow analysis supported by comparative market multiples to determine the fair values of its businesses versus their book values. The test as of December 31, 2009 indicated the book value of Miltec exceeded the fair value of the business. The impairment charge was primarily driven by reductions in the U.S. Government’s budgetary forecast and funding levels in the military markets resulting in the declines in the engineering services business from lower RDT&E budgets, reduced demand for specific engineering services as a result of increases in government in-sourcing and reduced Congressional earmarks. These market changes resulted in a lower forecast of future multiyear sales and cash flow for Miltec as compared to the forecast in 2008. Because the majority of Miltec’s business is U.S. Government related, the reduction in components of the U.S. Defense budget has had an unfavorable impact on the fair value assessment. In the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $13,064,000 at DTI (relating to its Miltec reporting unit) for the impairment of goodwill. The test as of December 31, 2008 indicated the book value of Miltec exceeded the fair value of the business. The 2008 impairment charge was primarily driven by adverse equity market conditions that caused a decrease in current market multiples and the Company’s stock price as of December 31, 2008 compared with the test performed as of December 31, 2007. Thus, the impairment charge recorded in 2009 was driven by external market factors as opposed to the reduction in stock price multiples which was the primary cause for the impairment charge in 2008. The charge in both 2009 and 2008 reduced goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition of Miltec and did not impact the Company’s normal business operations. The principal factors used in the discounted cash flow analysis requiring judgment are the projected results of operations, weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”), and terminal value assumptions. The WACC takes into account the relative weights of each component of the Company’s consolidated capital structure (equity and debt) and represents the expected cost of new capital adjusted as appropriate to consider risk profiles associated with growth projection risks. The terminal value assumptions are applied to the final year of discounted cash flow model. Due to many variables inherent in the estimation of a business’s fair value and the relative size of the Company’s recorded goodwill, differences in assumptions may have a material effect on the results of the Company’s impairment analysis. Prior to recording the goodwill impairment charge at Miltec, the Company tested the purchased intangible assets and other long-lived assets at the business as required by ASC 360 – Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, and the carrying value of these assets was determined not to be impaired.

Interest expense was $2,522,000 in 2009, compared to $1,242,000 in 2008, primarily due to higher debt levels and higher interest rates in 2009 compared to the previous year.

Income tax expense decreased to $3,577,000 in 2009, compared to $3,937,000 in 2008. The decrease in income tax expense was due to the decrease in income before taxes, partially offset by a higher effective income tax rate. The Company’s effective tax rate for 2009 was 26.0%, compared to 23.1% in 2008. Cash expended to pay income taxes was $6,960,000 in 2009, compared to $7,618,000 in 2008.

28

Net income for 2009 was $10,183,000, or $0.97 diluted earnings per share, compared to $13,112,000, or $1.23 diluted earnings per share in 2008. Net income for 2009 includes an after-tax charge of $3,444,000, or $0.33 per diluted share for the Eclipse inventory write-off and inventory valuation adjustment discussed above and a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $7,753,000 or $0.74 per share. Net income for 2008 includes a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $8,048,000 or $0.76 per share.

2008 Compared to 2007

Net sales in 2008 were $403,803,000, compared to net sales of $367,297,000 for 2007. Net sales in 2008 increased 10% from 2007 primarily due to increases in both military and commercial sales. The Company’s mix of business in 2008 was approximately 59% military, 39% commercial, and 2% space, compared to 60% military, 37% commercial, and 3% space in 2007.

The Company had substantial sales, through both of its business segments, to Boeing, the United States government, and Raytheon. During 2008 and 2007, sales to Boeing, the United States government, and Raytheon were as follows:

At December 31, 2008, trade receivables from Boeing, the United States government and Raytheon were $5,816,000, $1,076,000 and $2,341,000, respectively. The sales and receivables relating to Boeing, the United States government and Raytheon are diversified over a number of different commercial, military and space 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 sea-based applications. Engineering, technical and program management services are provided principally for United States defense, space and homeland security programs. The Company’s defense business is diversified among military manufacturers and programs. Sales related to military programs were approximately $238,309,000, or 59% of total sales in 2008, compared to $219,248,000, or 60% of total sales in 2007. The increase in military sales in 2008 resulted principally from an $8,224,000 increase in sales to the Chinook program and a $3,790,000 increase in sales to the Blackhawk program at DAS, a $5,404,000 increase in sales to the Phalanx program at DTI and a net increase in all other military programs at DAS and DTI, partially offset by a $3,121,000 reduction in sales to the F-18 program at DAS. The Apache helicopter program accounted for approximately $52,480,000 in sales in 2008, compared to $53,681,000 in sales in 2007. The C-17 program accounted for approximately $36,714,000 in sales in 2008 compared to $35,535,000 in sales in 2007. The F-18 program accounted for approximately $17,542,000 in sales in 2008, compared to $20,663,000 in sales in 2007. The F-15 program accounted for approximately $9,940,000 in sales in 2008, compared to $8,798,000 in sales in 2007.

The Company’s commercial business is represented on many of today’s major commercial aircraft. Sales related to commercial business were approximately $156,689,000, or 39% of total sales in 2008, compared to $137,864,000, or 37% of total sales in 2007. During 2008, commercial sales were higher, principally because of a $16,379,000 increase in commercial

29

aftermarket sales at DAS and DTI, a $5,582,000 increase in sales to the Carson helicopter program, partially offset by a decrease in all other commercial sales at DAS and DTI. Sales to the Boeing 737NG program accounted for approximately $38,259,000 in sales in 2008, compared to $39,558,000 in sales in 2007. The Boeing 777 program accounted for approximately $10,400,000 in sales in 2008, compared to $11,796,000 in sales in 2007. The Company estimates that the strike of Boeing by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, which began in the third quarter of 2008 and ended in the fourth quarter of 2008, reduced the Company’s sales in 2008 by approximately $7,479,000.

In the space sector, the Company produces components for a variety of unmanned launch vehicles and satellite programs and provides engineering services. Sales related to space programs were approximately $8,805,000, or 2% in 2008, compared to $10,185,000, or 3% of total sales in 2007. The decrease in sales for space programs resulted principally from a decrease in engineering services at DTI.

Backlog is subject to delivery delays or program cancellations, which are beyond the Company’s control. As of December 31, 2008, backlog believed to be firm was approximately $475,800,000, compared to $353,225,000 at December 31, 2007. The 2008 backlog includes $41,411,000 for backlog for DynaBil. The backlog at December 31, 2008 included the following programs:

Trends in the Company’s overall level of backlog, however, 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. Beginning in January 2009, the production rate and the Company’s sales for the Apache helicopter program are expected to be reduced by approximately one-half from the rate in 2008. Current program backlog will be shipped over an extended delivery schedule.

Gross profit, as a percent of sales, decreased to 20.3% in 2008 from 20.6% in 2007. The gross profit margin decrease was primarily attributable to lower operating performance at DTI, partially offset by an improvement in operating performance at DAS. The Company estimates that the strike at Boeing negatively impacted the Company’s gross profit by approximately $1,942,000. Gross profit in 2008 was also negatively impacted by a write-off of $166,000 of software cost that was capitalized in error in prior periods.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased to $50,548,000, or 12.5% of sales in 2008, compared to $46,191,000, or 12.6% of sales in 2007. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to higher people related costs, and a $1,130,000 increase in

30

the allowance for doubtful accounts due to a customer’s bankruptcy filing. The Company continues to provide product to this customer when paid in advance and has approximately $4 million in inventory with this customer on its balance sheet. SG&A also increased due to a $723,000 charge for software cost that was capitalized in error in 2007. Selling, general and administrative expenses for 2007 was favorably impacted by a gain of $1.2 million from the settlement of the Company’s contract termination claim related to the Space Shuttle program.

In the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $13,064,000 at DTI (relating to its Miltec reporting unit) for the impairment of goodwill. In accordance with SFAS No. 142 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company performed its required annual impairment test for goodwill using a discounted cash flow analysis supported by comparative market multiples to determine the fair values of its businesses versus their book values. The test as of December 31, 2008 indicated the book value of Miltec exceeded the fair value of the business. The impairment charge was primarily driven by adverse equity market conditions that caused a decrease in current market multiples and the Company’s stock price as of December 31, 2008 compared with the test performed as of December 31, 2007. The charge reduced goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition of Miltec and does not impact the company’s normal business operations. The principal factors used in the discounted cash flow analysis requiring judgment are the projected results of operations, weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”), and terminal value assumptions. The WACC takes into account the relative weights of each component of the Company’s consolidated capital structure (equity and debt) and represents the expected cost of new capital adjusted as appropriate to consider risk profiles associated with growth projection risks. The terminal value assumptions are applied to the final year of discounted cash flow model. Due to many variables inherent in the estimation of a business’s fair value and the relative size of the Company’s recorded goodwill, differences in assumptions may have a material effect on the results of the Company’s impairment analysis. Prior to recording the goodwill impairment charge at Miltec, the Company tested the purchased intangible assets and other long-lived assets at the business as required by SFAS No. 144 – Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, and the carrying value of these assets were determined not to be impaired.

Interest expense was $1,242,000 in 2008, compared to $2,395,000 in 2007, primarily due to lower debt and lower interest rates compared to the previous year.

Income tax expense decreased to $3,937,000 in 2008, compared to $7,634,000 in 2007. The decrease in income tax expense was due to the decrease in income before taxes, related to the goodwill impairment charge, partially offset by a lower effective income tax rate. The Company’s effective tax rate for 2008 was 23.1%, compared to 28.0% in 2007. Cash expended to pay income taxes was $7,618,000 in 2008, compared to $6,817,000 in 2007.

31

Net income for 2008 was $13,112,000, or $1.23 diluted earnings per share, compared to $19,621,000, or $1.88 diluted earnings per share, in 2007. Net income for 2008 includes a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $8,048,000 or $0.76 per share.

Financial Condition

Cash Flow Summary

Net cash provided by operating activities for 2009, 2008, and 2007 was $30,812,000, $28,044,000 and $42,594,000, respectively. During 2009 the Company used $8,546,000 of cash for working capital compared to $9,241,000 of cash used for working capital in 2008. Net cash provided by operating activities for 2009 was negatively impacted by a decrease in accrued liabilities of $17,854,000 (consisting primarily of a $10,536,000 decrease in customer deposits, a $2,483,000 decrease in accrued income and sales tax, a $2,176,000 decrease in accrued bonuses and incentives, a $1,198,000 decrease in deferred compensation and a $1,461,000 decrease in other accrued liabilities), partially offset by more effective working capital management resulting in a decrease of $16,803,000 in trade and other receivables, inventory, other assets and trade payables.

Net cash used in investing activities for 2009 consisted primarily of $7,689,000 of capital expenditures.

Net cash used in financing activities in 2009 of $8,004,000 included approximately $3,142,000 of dividend payments, $2,454,000 of repayment of debt, $938,000 of repurchase of the Company’s stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company is a party to a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Syndication Agent, Union Bank, N.A., as Documentation Agent and the other lenders named therein dated June 26, 2009 (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured revolving credit line of $120,000,000 maturing on June 26, 2014. Interest is payable quarterly on the outstanding borrowings at Bank of America’s prime rate (3.25% at December 31, 2009) plus a spread (1.5% to 2.0% 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 (0.23% at December 31, 2009 for one month LIBOR) plus a spread (2.5% to 3.0% 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 (0.50% to 0.60% 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 December 31, 2009, the Company had $99,150,000 of unused lines of credit, after deducting $850,000 for outstanding standby letters of credit. The Company had outstanding loans of $20,000,000 and was in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2009.

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.

32

On September 5, 2007, the Company entered into a $20,000,000 interest rate swap with Banc of America Securities. The interest rate swap is for a $20,000,000 notional amount, under which the Company receives a variable interest rate (one month LIBOR) and pays a fixed 4.88% interest rate, with monthly settlement dates. The interest rate swap expires on September 13, 2010. As of December 31, 2009, the one month LIBOR rate was approximately 0.23%, and the fair value of the interest rate swap was a liability of approximately $680,000.

In connection with the DAS-New York acquisition in December 2008, the Company issued a promissory note in the initial principal amount of $7,000,000 with interest of five percent (5%) per annum payable annually on each anniversary of the closing date (December 23). Principal of the promissory note is payable in the amount of $4,000,000 on June 23, 2010 and $3,000,000 on December 23, 2013.

The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding was 6.14% at December 31, 2009, compared to 6.05% at December 31, 2008. 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.

The Company expects to spend approximately $11,000,000 for capital expenditures in 2010. The increase in capital expenditures in 2010 from 2009 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.

The Company spent approximately $6,140,000 for tooling related investment on various sales programs in 2009. As part of the Company’s strategic direction in moving to a Tier 2 supplier additional up front investment in tooling will be required for newer programs which have higher engineering content and higher levels of complexity in assemblies.

Dividends are subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, and will depend upon the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial position. The Company expects to continue to pay dividends of $0.075 per quarter per common share in 2010.

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

33

assurances that the Company will not have any future financial exposure under these indemnification obligations.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company expects to make the following payments on its contractual obligations (in thousands):

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 “District Court”). 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 aircraft ultimately sold to the United States government. The number of Boeing aircraft subject to the lawsuit has been reduced to 25 aircraft following the District Court’s granting of partial summary judgment in favor of Boeing and Ducommun. 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. 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.

DAS has been directed by California environmental agencies to investigate and take corrective action for ground water contamination at its facilities located in El Mirage and Monrovia, California. Based on currently available information, the Company has established a reserve for its estimated liability for such investigation and corrective action in the approximate amount of $1,247,000. DAS also faces liability as a potentially responsible party for hazardous waste disposed at two landfills located in Casmalia and West Covina, California. DAS and other companies and government entities have entered into consent decrees with respect to each landfill with the United States Environmental Protection Agency and/or California environmental agencies under which certain investigation, remediation and maintenance activities are being performed. Based upon currently available information, the Company has established a reserve for its estimated liability in connection with the landfills in the approximate amount of $1,074,000. The Company’s ultimate liability in connection with these matters will depend upon

34

a number of factors, including changes in existing laws and regulations, the design and cost of construction, operation and maintenance activities, and the allocation of liability among potentially responsible parties.

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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2008, the FASB issued a staff position providing guidance on employer’s disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. The guidance is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The implementation of this standard will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations. The standard requires an employer to disclose investment policies and strategies, categories, fair value measurements, and significant concentration risk among its postretirement benefit plan assets. The disclosure requirements are annual and do not apply to interim financial statements. The Company has made the required additional disclosures.

In January 2009, the FASB issued new guidance on the determination of the useful life of the intangible assets. The standard amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets. The objective is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset, and other U.S. GAAP. The standard applies to all intangible assets, whether acquired in a business combination or otherwise. The standard is applied prospectively to financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

In April 2009, the FASB issued a staff position amending and clarifying the new business combination standard to address application issues associated with recognition and measurement, subsequent and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. The staff position is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB issued a staff position which changes the method for determining whether an other-than-temporary impairment exists for debt securities and the amount of the impairment to be recorded in earnings. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

35

In April 2009, the FASB issued a staff position providing additional guidance on factors to consider in estimating fair value when there has been a significant decrease in market activity for a financial asset. The guidance was effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting and disclosure requirements for the consolidation of variable interest entities. The guidance affects the overall consolidation analysis and requires enhanced disclosures on involvement with variable interest entities. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company currently believes this guidance will have no impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) was issued. The Codification is the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. The Codification is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In October 2009, the FASB issued amendments to the accounting and disclosure for revenue recognition. These amendments, effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 (early adoption is permitted), modify the criteria for recognizing revenue in multiple element arrangements and the scope of what constitutes a non-software deliverable. The Company currently believes this guidance will have no impact its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In October 2009, the FASB issued amendments to the accounting and disclosure for accounting for certain revenue arrangements that include software elements. The amendments change the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements that are “essential to the functionality,” and scope these products out of current software revenue guidance. The amendments will now subject software-enabled products to other revenue guidance and disclosure requirements, such as guidance surrounding revenue arrangements with multiple-deliverables. These amendments, effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in the fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 (early adoption is permitted). The Company currently believes this guidance will have no impact its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

The Company uses an interest rate swap for certain debt obligations to manage exposure to interest rate changes. On September 5, 2007, the Company entered into a $20,000,000 interest rate swap with Banc of America Securities. The interest rate swap is for a $20,000,000 notional amount, under which the Company receives a variable interest rate (one month LIBOR) and pays a fixed 4.88% interest rate, with monthly settlement dates. The interest rate swap expires on September 13, 2010. As of December 31, 2009, the one month LIBOR rate was approximately 0.23% and the fair value of the interest rate swap was a liability of approximately $680,000. An increase or decrease of 50 basis-points in the LIBOR interest rate of the swap at December 31, 2009 would result in a change of approximately $76,000 in the fair value of the swap.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of Ducommun Incorporated (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed 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. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment and those criteria, management concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as stated in the report which appears immediately following this Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Ducommun Incorporated:

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ducommun Incorporated and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 15(a)(1). Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed 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. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
