          Materials, supplies and repair parts are stated net of reserves for
     obsolescence of $4,747 and $4,738 as of July 31, 1998 and October 31, 1997,
     respectively.

(3)  LONG-TERM DEBT

          On March 12, 1998, the Company completed the sale of $200,000 11.25%
     Senior Notes due 2005 (the "Fixed Rate Notes") and $55,000 Floating
     Interest Rate Senior Notes due 2003 (collectively, the "Notes"). The Notes
     are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company (see Note 7). The
     Company used $125,000 of the proceeds from the Notes offering to make a
     deposit (the "Special Term Deposit") in a bank, which in turn loaned such
     amount (the "Back-to-Back Loan") to Doe Run Mining S.R.L. ("Doe Run
     Mining"). The Special Term Deposit and the Back-to-Back Loan have payment
     terms that match the timing and amount of the payments on $125,000 of the
     Fixed Rate Notes, except that additional interest of 0.50% for the first
     six months and 0.25% thereafter through September 11, 2004 is payable on
     the Back-to-Back Loan. The Back-to-Back Loan is collateralized by the
     Special Term Deposit. Doe Run Mining used the proceeds of the Back-to-Back
     Loan to repay the $100,000 balance on a $225,000 term loan, plus accrued
     interest thereon of $1,004, repay a $23,000 subordinated note to the Doe
     Run Resources Corporation, and pay fees of $313.

          The remaining $130,000 of the proceeds of the Notes offering, plus the
     $23,000 repayment of the subordinated note by Doe Run Mining, were used by
     the Doe Run Resources Corporation to: i) repay principal and interest on a
     $130,000 term loan of $128,125 and $1,127, respectively, ii) repay the

     revolving loan balance of $14,444, iii) pay Renco $5,000 to redeem $2,500
     of outstanding preferred stock, plus accrued dividends thereon of $189, and
     a transaction fee of $2,311 and iv) pay related fees and expenses of
     $6,553.

          As a result of these transactions, the Company recognized an
     extraordinary loss of $6,607, net of income tax benefit of $143.

(4)  HEDGING

          The fair market value of the Company's net hedging positions at July
     31, 1998 is the difference between quoted prices at the respective
     period-end and the contract settlement value. The fair market value
     represents the estimated net cash the Company would receive (pay) if the
     contracts were canceled on the respective dates. As management has
     designated these contracts as hedges, the related gains and losses will be
     recognized in net sales when the related production is sold.

          The fair market value of the Company's net open hedging positions at
     July 31, 1998 was ($265).

          The Company is exposed to risk from market price fluctuations to the
     extent it cannot meet anticipated sales.

          The Company does not obtain collateral or other security to support
     hedge instruments subject to credit risk, but assesses the reliability and
     reputation of its counterparties before contracts are established.

(5)  ENVIRONMENTAL AND LITIGATION MATTERS

          The Company is subject to numerous U.S. and Peruvian federal, state
     and local environmental laws and regulations governing, among other things,
     air emissions, waste water discharge, solid and hazardous waste treatment,
     and storage, disposal and remediation of releases of hazardous materials.
     In common with much of the mining industry, the Company's facilities are
     located on sites that have been used for heavy industrial purposes for
     decades and may require remediation. The Company has made and intends to
     continue making the necessary expenditures for environmental remediation
     and compliance with environmental laws and regulations. Environmental laws
     and regulations may become more stringent in the future which could
     increase costs of compliance.

          The Company has recorded a liability of $34,058 as of July 31, 1998,
     which represents management's best estimate of known obligations relating
     to environmental and reclamation matters, which are discussed below.

     DOMESTIC OPERATIONS
          Primary smelter slag produced by and stored at the primary smelter in
     Herculaneum, Missouri is exempt from hazardous waste regulation under the
     Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended ("RCRA"). The
     U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") has completed a rule
     making process where the status of slag and other secondary materials
     generated at primary lead smelters were considered for regulation under
     RCRA. The final rule has been issued, and slag will continue to be exempt
     from hazardous waste regulation under RCRA. Further, if certain management
     practices are

                             (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)


     followed for the handling and storage of other secondary materials, these 
     materials will not be subject to full RCRA requirements. The Company is 
     developing the requisite management practices, which will be in place by
     the end of 1999, and which will require expenditures, primarily capital,
     of no more than $500.

          The Company is working with regulators at the Herculaneum smelter to
     develop a new three-year compliance plan to meet the ambient air quality
     standard for lead promulgated under the federal Clean Air Act. The plan
     will take effect after fiscal 1998 to implement control measures identified
     in the plan. The Company expects to make capital expenditures for
     additional control measures totaling approximately $2,800 while the plan is
     developed and anticipates future cash requirements of approximately $3,000
     for the three-year plan.

          The Company has received notice that it is a potentially responsible
     party ("PRP") subject to liability under the Comprehensive Environmental
     Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended ("CERCLA"), at
     four sites in St. Francois County, Missouri: the Big River Mine Tailings
     Site, the Bonne Terre Site, the Federal site, and the National site; the
     Oronogo-Durenweg site in Jasper County, Missouri; the Cherokee County site
     in Cherokee County, Kansas; the Tar Creek site in Ottawa County, Oklahoma;
     the Block "P" site in Cascade County, Montana; and the Missouri Electric
     Works site in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. In addition, there are four sites
     in St. Francois County for which the EPA has indicated it will issue
     notice. These sites involve historical operations of predecessors of the
     Company. CERCLA provides for strict and, in certain circumstances, joint
     and several liability for response costs and natural resource damages. The
     Company has signed a voluntary Administrative Order of Consent ("AOC") in
     1994 with the EPA to remediate the Big River Mine Tailings Site. In
     February 1997, The Company signed an AOC to perform an Engineering
     Evaluation/Cost Analysis on the Bonne Terre Site. In March 1998, the
     Company signed an AOC to perform an EE/CA on the National Site. In addition
     to remediating the mine waste areas at these sites, the Company has signed
     an AOC with the EPA to conduct a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study
     ("RIFS") to assess potential off-site impacts of site operations on, and
     the need for remediation regarding groundwater, residential soils, several
     creeks and a river. The RIFS is being conducted by a third party and is
     approximately one-third complete, with completion expected within one year.
     The Block "P" site in Montana was a polymetallic mine with a waste facility
     located on U.S. Forest Service land. Studies of the tailings site, mine and
     the potential impacts on surface water have been requested by the State of
     Montana and the U.S. Forest Service for the tailings site.

          The Company's recycling facility is subject to corrective action
     requirements under RCRA, as a result of a storage permit for certain wastes
     issued in 1989. This has required and may involve future remediation of
     solid waste management units at the site. Although it is not possible to
     predict whether completed actions will be approved or new actions required,
     the Company has reserved for closure costs for the permitted storage area.
     Spending against the reserve has not been significant since October 31,
     1997.

          The Company's domestic operating facilities have wastewater discharge
     permits issued under the federal Clean Water Act, as amended. It is
     expected that stricter discharge limits than previously in effect will be
     included in permits now subject to renewal. As a result, there will be
     additional treatment

     facilities required, with anticipated total capital expenditures of 
     $4,000 over the next five years to meet applicable permit requirements.
     There will be no appreciable increase in operating costs.

          The Company's mining and milling operations include five mine waste
     disposal facilities that are subject to Missouri mine closure permit
     requirements. The total expected cost of closure is $11,000. The Company
     has begun certain closure requirements ahead of closure and is also
     accruing for the cost of ultimate closure at a rate of approximately $300
     per year. Spending against the reserve has not been significant since
     October 31, 1997.

          The Company has been advised by the EPA that it is considering taking
     certain response actions at a mine site in Madison County, Missouri known
     as the Mine La Motte site. A predecessor of the Company was a former
     operator of the site. The EPA has not decided whether any action will be
     taken, but held a meeting with the Company and two other PRPs at the site
     on June 17, 1998 to discuss possible future response actions. This site is
     substantially smaller than the sites in St. Francois county where the
     Company has been named a PRP, and the potential issues are less complex. At
     this time, based on this preliminary meeting and an inspection of the site,
     management does not believe that any future action will result in a
     material adverse impact to the Company's results of operations or cash
     flows.

     FOREIGN OPERATIONS
          In connection with the acquisition by the Company of Empresa
     Metalugica La Oroya S.A. ("La Oroya"), the Company is required to expand
     and modernize its operations, including certain expenditures to comply with
     environmental regulations within Peru as set forth in the Programa de
     Adecuacion y Manejo Ambiental (Environmental Remedy and Management Program
     (the "PAMA"), an environmental adjustment and management program that has
     been submitted to the Ministry for Energy and Mines (the "MEM"). The PAMA
     functions as the equivalent of an operating permit with which the operator
     must comply. To meet its obligations under the PAMA, the Company has
     negotiated a capital spending plan with the Peruvian government to invest
     $107,575 million during the next nine years as follows:

          The Company's operations at the La Oroya smelter historically and
     currently exceed some of the applicable MEM maximum permissible limits
     pertaining to air emissions, ambient air quality and waste water effluent
     quality. The projects contemplated by the PAMA have been designed to
     achieve compliance with the applicable legal requirements prior to the
     expiration of the PAMA on January 13, 2007. Under the PAMA, future changes
     in regulations and maximum permissible levels would not affect the Company
     for ten years from the date of the acquisition contract.

     waste water effluent quality. The projects contemplated by the PAMA have
     been designed to achieve compliance with the applicable legal requirements
     prior to the expiration of the PAMA on January 13, 2007. Under the PAMA, 
     future changes in regulations and maximum permissible levels would not 
     affect the Company for ten years from the date of the acquisition contract.

          According to the acquisition contract, the Company has the option to
     continue the use of an existing zinc ferrite disposal site for three years,
     after which it can take ownership of the site or create a new site. If the
     Company chooses to take ownership of the site, it will be responsible for
     its closure costs. The Company has accrued for management's estimate of the
     closure costs, or $7,200. If the Company abandons the ferrite site, it must
     pay this amount to Centromin Peru S.A., the former owner of La Oroya.

     CONSOLIDATED
          The Company believes its reserves for domestic and foreign
     environmental and reclamation matters are adequate, based on the
     information available. Depending upon the type and extent of remediation
     activities required, costs in excess of established reserves are reasonably
     possible. Therefore, there can be no assurance that additional costs, both
     individually and in the aggregate, would not have a material adverse effect
     on the results of operations, financial condition and liquidity of the
     Company.

     LITIGATION
          The Company is a defendant in several lawsuits alleging certain
     damages stemming from the operations at the Herculaneum, Missouri smelter.
     Two of these cases are class action lawsuits. In one case, the plaintiffs
     seek to have certified two separate classes. The first class would consist
     of property owners in a certain section of Herculaneum, alleging that
     property values have been damaged due to the operations of the smelter. The
     second class alleged is comprised of children who lived in Herculaneum
     during a period of time when they were six months to six years old, and the
     remedy sought is medical monitoring for the class. The second class action
     similarly is seeking certification of a class of property owners allegedly
     damaged by operations from the smelter, but the purported size of the class
     is every home in Herculaneum. The other two cases are personal injury
     actions by fourteen individuals who allege damages from the effects of lead
     poisoning due to operations at the smelter. Punitive damages are also being
     sought in each case. The Company is vigorously defending all of these
     claims. Preliminary investigation and research by the Company indicates
     property values in Herculaneum are consistent with those of surrounding
     communities and have not been affected by the smelter. Finally, based on
     rules for class certification, the Company believes class certification is
     not appropriate. However, because the cases are in the early stages of
     discovery, the Company is unable at this time to state with certainty the
     expected outcome of and the final costs of any of these cases. Therefore,
     there can be no assurance that these cases would not have a material
     adverse effect, both individually and in the aggregate, on the results of
     operations, financial condition and liquidity of the Company.

(6)  SUBSEQUENT EVENT - ACQUISITION OF ASARCO MISSOURI LEAD DIVISION

          On September 1, 1998, the Company purchased the assets of the Missouri
     Lead Division ("MLD") of ASARCO Incorporated ("ASARCO"), including a
     smelter and refinery and two mines. Proceeds of $43,400 from an offering of
     $50,000 11.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2005 (the "Secured Notes"), plus
     loans under the revolving credit facility of $12,427 financed the payment
     of the purchase

     price made at the closing. The payment was based on the MLD's inventories
     as of July 31, 1998, and an adjustment based upon the inventories at the 
     closing date is expected to result in an amount receivable from ASARCO of 
     between $1,000 and $2,000.

(7)  GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES

          The Guarantor Subsidiaries (Fabricated Products, Inc. ("FPI"), Doe Run
     Cayman Ltd. ("Doe Run Cayman") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Doe Run
     Mining and Doe Run Peru S.R.L) have jointly and severally, fully,
     unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed the Notes and the Secured Notes.
     Financial information regarding the Guarantor Subsidiaries as of July 31,
     1998 and October 31, 1997 and the three month and nine month periods ending
     July 31, 1998 is presented for purposes of complying with the reporting
     requirements of the Guarantor Subsidiaries. FPI was incorporated in August
     1996, and its operations were not material to the results of operations of
     the Company for the three and nine month periods ending July 31, 1997.
     Separate financial statements of Doe Run Peru S.R.L have been presented to
     fulfill the disclosure requirements for guarantor subsidiaries that are not
     wholly-owned. Doe Run Mining and Doe Run Cayman are holding companies which
     do not have operations separate from those of Doe Run Peru S.R.L. Separate
     financial statements and other disclosures concerning each Guarantor
     Subsidiary and disclosures concerning non-Guarantor Subsidiaries have not
     been presented because management has determined that such information is
     not material to investors.

(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     COMPARABILITY OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
          The condensed consolidated statement of operations and the condensed
     consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended July 31,
     1997 reflect the basis of assets and liabilities of La Oroya, a division of
     Centromin Peru. S.A. The condensed consolidated statement of operations and
     the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months
     ended July 31, 1998 reflect the new basis of assets and liabilities of Doe
     Run Peru S.R.Ltda. ("the Company") acquired as of October 23, 1997. The
     Company's results may not be comparable in all respects to those of La
     Oroya.

     UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
          In the opinion of management, the interim condensed consolidated
     financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal
     recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated
     financial position as of July 31, 1998 and results of operations for the
     three month and nine month periods ended July 31, 1998 and 1997. Interim
     periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the
     year.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following discussion and analysis includes the Company, the domestic 
operations of the Company, including FPI ("Doe Run"), and the Peruvian 
operations of the Company, including Doe Run Cayman and its subsidiaries 
("Doe Run Peru") and should be read in conjunction with the condensed 
consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto, and 
other financial information included herein and the Company's Registration 
Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-52285).

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL POSITION

     During the nine months ended July 31, 1998, total debt increased by 
approximately $164.9 million and noncurrent assets, in the form of the 
Special Term Deposit, increased by $125.0 million. See "- Liquidity and 
Capital Resources." In addition, the Company increased working capital, 
primarily at Doe Run Peru after the acquisition on October 23, 1997 (the 
"Acquisition") of Empresa Metalurgica La Oroya S.A. ("La Oroya") from Empresa 
Minera del Centro del Peru S.A., a Peruvian government-owned conglomerate 
("Centromin"). Accounts receivable, inventories and other current assets, 
primarily value added tax and prepaid income taxes, increased $20.3 million, 
$20.5 million and $29.0 million, respectively, offset by increases of $11.1 
million in accounts payable and $20.7 million in accrued liabilities. 
Management believes that the current working capital level at Doe Run Peru is 
adequate to support ongoing operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The Company reported net earnings of $2.7 million for the third quarter 
ended July 31, 1998 compared to a net loss of $3.5 million for the third 
quarter of 1997. Doe Run recorded a net loss of $8.3 million in the third 
quarter of 1998 (excluding intercompany fee revenue of $4.2 million) compared 
to a net loss of $3.5 million in the third quarter of 1997. The Company's 
results were improved by the net earnings of $11.0 million of Doe Run Peru 
(excluding intercompany fees of $4.2 million). See "Results of Operations - 
Doe Run Peru".

     For the nine months ended July 31, 1998, the Company reported net 
earnings of $7.1 million compared to a net loss of $.2 million for the nine 
months ended July 31, 1997. Earnings for the 1998 period include a $6.6 
million extraordinary charge related to the early retirement of debt. 
Earnings from Doe Run were $22.2 million lower (excluding intercompany fee 
revenue of $12.1 million) than the prior year primarily due to the lower lead 
prices, partially offset by improved production volume and operating cost. 
The addition of Doe Run Peru contributed $29.5 million to net earnings 
(excluding intercompany fees of $12.1 million) for the nine months ended July 
31, 1998.

     Results for the third quarter and the nine months ended July 31, 1998 
reflect a sharp decline in the market prices of lead, copper and zinc, from 
the prior year. The impact of these reductions was partially offset by a 
significant increase in the market price of silver.

     During the second quarter of fiscal 1998 the Company implemented plans 
to minimize the impact of the decline in metal prices through cost reductions 
and productivity and revenue enhancements. These plans included maintenance 
and other expense reductions, increased lead ore grade at the Company's lead 
mines, increased secondary smelter production and increased production, 
primarily of silver and lead, at the Company's La Oroya smelter. The impacts 
of these 

                              20

plans are reflected in the results of the third quarter and nine months ended 
July 31, 1998.

     Mine production of lead metal in concentrates for the third quarter of 
1998 was 4.0% better than the third quarter of 1997, although slightly less 
than planned, due to lower than expected ore grades. For the nine-month 
period, mine production was 4.8% less than the prior year, which was 
consistent with the planned operating level. Primary smelter production for 
the third quarter of 1998 was approximately 9.3% less than the third quarter 
of 1997 and 5.8% less than planned. For the nine-month period, primary 
smelter production was approximately equal to the prior year but 

                             21

<PAGE>


slightly less than planned. These variances are primarily due to minor 
operating problems which occurred subsequent to the planned maintenance 
shutdown in June 1998. By the end of July 1998, smelter production increased 
to levels which were better than planned. Secondary smelter production 
exceeded the prior year by 5.5% for the third quarter and 15.5% for the nine 
months ended July 31, 1998, due to increased cable strip processing and 
improved smelter operating efficiencies.

     During the third quarter of 1998, the capacity of the silver refinery at 
the La Oroya smelter was increased by approximately 25.0% and the lead 
refinery capacity was increased by 4.8%. These improvements along with other 
improvements in operating efficiency are reflected in the production results. 
Refined silver production exceeded the prior year by 30.4% and 26.9% for the 
quarter and the nine months ended July 31, 1998, respectively. Refined lead 
production increased over the prior year by 10.3% for the quarter and 11.1% 
for the nine-month period. These results were accomplished in spite of the 
flooding caused by El Nino, which caused supply and shipment problems, as 
well as the failure of the main turbine of La Oroya's oxygen plant which was 
inoperative during approximately six weeks of the quarter.

     Results of operations for the quarter and the nine months ended July 31, 
1998 include the results of Doe Run and Doe Run Peru. Since the Acquisition 
occurred on October 23, 1997, results of operation for the quarter and nine 
months ended July 31, 1997 include only the results of Doe Run. In order to 
provide a more meaningful analysis, the results of operations attributable to 
Doe Run Peru for the quarter and nine months ended July 31, 1998 will be 
noted and discussed separately under "Results of Operations - Doe Run Peru." 
This discussion will include a comparison to La Oroya's results for the 
comparable periods of 1997.

     NET SALES in the third quarter of 1998 were $184.4 million compared to 
$70.5 million in the third quarter of 1997. Of this increase, $122.1 million 
is attributable to the addition of Doe Run Peru. Doe Run's net sales were 
$8.2 million or 11.6% lower in the third quarter of 1998 compared to the 
third quarter of 1997 primarily due to lower lead metal and copper 
concentrate sales.

     The following table sets forth the sales volume and realized prices of 
Doe Run for the periods indicated:

     Lead metal net sales decreased 14.9% from $49.3 million in the 1997 
quarter to $41.9 million in the 1998 quarter. Of the decline, $3.0 million is 
due to lower sales volume and the remaining $4.4 million decrease is due to 
lower realized prices for lead metal. The average LME price for lead metal 
decreased 14.7% in the third quarter of 1998 compared to the corresponding 
period in 1997. Although Doe Run was able to obtain higher premiums for lead 
sold, the net realized price was 9.3% lower in the third quarter of 1998. Net 
realized prices for lead metal include the effects of changes in premiums 
received as well as net hedging activity. Copper concentrate net sales were 
lower by $1.9 million or 74.0% in the third quarter of 1998 compared to the 
third quarter of 1997 due to a 43.4% decrease in volume and a 54.1% decrease 
in net realized price. The volume decrease is primarily due to lower 
production resulting from a planned change in operations to focus on lead 
production. The net realized price decrease is due in part to a 33.5% 
decrease in the LME average price of copper for the comparable quarters. Net 
realized prices for copper concentrates and other by-products are net of 
adjustments for provisionally priced sales and hedging activities.

     Net sales for the nine-month period ended July 31, 1998 were $527.8 
million compared to $206.4 million for the nine months ended July 31, 1997. 
Of this increase, $346.9 million is attributable to the addition of Doe Run 
Peru. Doe Run's net sales for the nine months ended July 31, 1998 were $25.5 
million less than the 1997 period primarily due to lower lead prices. Lead 
metal net sales decreased 11.2% from $138.0 million in the 1997 period to 
$122.5 million in 1998. Doe Run's net realized price was 11.9% lower in the 
1998 period compared to the 1997 period due to an 18.0% decline in the 
average LME prices for lead metal. The resulting $16.5 million net sales 
decrease was partially offset by improved lead metal sales volume. Copper 
concentrate net sales were lower by $4.3 million or 60.8% in the 1998 period 
compared to the 1997 period due to a 31.9% decrease in volume and a 42.3% 
decrease in net realized price. The volume decrease is primarily due to lower 
production resulting from the focus on lead production while the net realized 
price decrease is the result of a 28.2% decrease in the LME average price of 
copper. Sales by Seafab Metals Company ("Seafab") were $4.6 million lower in 
the 1998 period compared to the 1997 period, primarily as a result of the 
planned relocation of the fabrication plant from Seattle, Washington to Casa 
Grande, Arizona. A slowdown in oxide sales due to lower battery demand also 
contributed to the reduction.

     COST OF SALES for the third quarter 1998 was $156.6 million compared to 
$61.7 million for the third quarter 1997. Of this increase, $101.3 million is 
attributable to the addition of Doe Run Peru. Doe Run's cost of sales for the 
third quarter of 1998 was $6.4 million less than the third quarter of 1997. 
The reduced sales volume discussed above accounted for $3.6 million of the 
cost decrease. The remainder of the decrease is principally due to lower 
operating costs, primarily reduced usage of materials and supplies on major 
maintenance projects.

     Cost of sales for the nine month period ended July 31, 1998 was $439.7 
million compared to $170.1 million for the nine months ended July 31, 1997. 
Of this increase, $280.5 million is attributable to the addition of Doe Run 
Peru. Doe Run's cost of sales was $159.2 million for the 1998 period compared 
to $170.1 million for the 1997 period. Increased volume of lead metal offset 
by lower zinc, copper and lead concentrate and toll volumes accounted for 
$2.0 million of the cost decrease. The cost of purchased lead concentrates 
and higher costs for purchased feed material and salaries and wages were 
offset by reduced spending on purchased services, purchased lead metal and 
materials and supplies, and the impact of a 4.2% increase in lead metal 
production volume. As a result, the average cost per ton produced was 2.8% 
lower in the 1998 period, compared to the 1997 period, reducing cost of sales 
by $5.6 million from the 1997 period. Lower volume at Seafab, primarily 
related to the relocation of the fabrication plant, reduced cost of sales by 
$3.3 million.

                              23

<PAGE>

     DEPLETION, DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION for the third quarter 1998 
increased by $1.9 million compared to the third quarter 1997. For the nine 
months ended July 31, 1998 depletion, depreciation and amortization increased 
by $6.1 million compared to the 1997 period. Increases of $1.6 million for 
the third quarter and $5.0 million for the nine months ended July 31, 1998 
are attributable to the addition of Doe Run Peru. The remainder of the 
increases are primarily due to depreciation of plant and equipment on recent 
capital additions.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE expenses increased by $5.8 million 
in the third quarter 1998 compared to the third quarter 1997. The addition of 
Doe Run Peru accounts for $4.8 million of the increase. This includes 
increases in domestic general and administrative expenses of $1.3 million for 
salaries for expatriates, management fees, insurance and travel related to 
the operation of Doe Run Peru. The cost of selling and administrative 
services provided by Doe Run to Doe Run Peru are reimbursed by fees collected 
under various services and agency agreements between Doe Run and Doe Run 
Peru, which are eliminated in consolidation. Other expenses, including 
salaries, wages and benefits, net worth appreciation, audit fees, and other, 
are approximately $.9 million higher than the prior year.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $17.7 million 
for the nine months ended July 31, 1998 compared to the nine months ended 
July 31, 1997. The addition of Doe Run Peru accounts for $12.6 million of the 
increase. Increased domestic general and administrative expenses associated 
with the operation of Doe Run Peru totaled $3.4 million for the nine-month 
period. Other expenses, primarily the items discussed previously, account for 
the remainder of the increase.

     EXPLORATION expense for the third quarter of 1998 increased $.3 million 
or 29.9% from the third quarter of 1997. For the nine months ended July 31, 
1998 exploration expense increased $.5 million or 22.2% compared to the nine 
months ended July 31, 1997. These increases were due to increased 
expenditures at minerals properties located in Missouri and the Republic of 
South Africa.

     INCOME FROM OPERATIONS for the third quarter 1998 was $13.0 million 
compared to $2.1 million for the third quarter 1997. For the nine months 
ended July 31, 1998, operating income was $42.6 million compared to $15.0 
million for the 1997 period. Increases of $15.7 million for the third quarter 
and $48.8 million for the nine months ended July 31, 1998, are attributable 
to the addition of Doe Run Peru. The reminder of the changes are due to the 
factors discussed above.

     INTEREST EXPENSE increased by $9.5 million in the third quarter and 
$16.4 million in the nine months ended July 31, 1998, compared to the prior 
year due to an increase of approximately $300 million in the Company's 
average outstanding debt balance partially offset by lower average interest 
rates. The increase in the Company's outstanding debt balance is primarily 
associated with the Acquisition and operation of Doe Run Peru.

     INTEREST INCOME increased $3.6 million in the third quarter and $6.0 
million in the nine months ended July 31, 1998, compared to the prior year, 
primarily due to interest income on the $125.0 million Special Term Deposit 
associated with the Back-to-Back Loan.

     INCOME TAX EXPENSE for the three month period ended July 31, 1998 
reflects an effective rate of approximately 45%, primarily due to a revision 
of the Company's estimate of its annual effective 

                               24

<PAGE>

tax rate increase from 34% to 37% in the third quarter. Lower income during 
the third quarter 1998, magnified the impact of the revision. Income tax 
expense for the three-month period ended July 31, 1997 reflects an adjustment 
to the Company's estimate of the effective tax rate for the year ended 
October 31, 1997, resulting from a decrease in pre-tax book income and the 
effect of a valuation allowance of U.S. alternative minimum tax in excess of 
the Company's regular tax liability.

     NET SALES in the third quarter of 1998 were $122.1 million compared to 
$114.8 million in the third quarter of 1997. Refined silver sales increased 
70.1% from $23.9 million in 1997 to $40.7 million in 1998. The production 
improvements discussed previously increased refined silver sales volume by 
2.2 million ounces or 43.2%, contributing $10.3 million to the sales 
increase. The average LBMA price for silver increased 17.3% in the third 
quarter of 1998 compared to the third quarter of 1997. As a result, Doe Run 
Peru's net realized price was 18.8% higher in the 1998 quarter contributing 
$6.4 million to the sales increase. Net realized prices for silver are net of 
the effects of changes in premiums and hedging activities. Refined copper net 
sales were lower by $13.3 million or 31.2% in the third quarter of 1998 due 
to lower prices partially offset by increased volume. Doe Run Peru's net 
realized price for refined copper was lower by 33.8%, reducing net sales by 
$15.0 million. Copper tolling, a service which was not provided in the 1997 
quarter, contributed $2.7 million to the net sales increase.

     Net sales for the nine-month period ended July 31, 1998 were $349.4 
million compared to $332.5 million for the nine-month period ended July 31, 
1997. The increase is due primarily to higher prices and volumes for silver 
offset by lower copper prices. The production improvements previously 
discussed increased silver sales volume by 5.2 million ounces or 34.2% in the 
1998 period contributing $25.2 million to the net sales increase. The average 
LBMA price for silver was 21.0% higher in the nine-month period ended July 
31, 1998 compared to the 1997 period. As a result, the net realized price for 
refined silver increased by $.93 per ounce, increasing net sales by $18.8 
million. Net sales of refined copper were 29.2% or $34.9 million lower in the 
1998 period due to lower prices partially offset by increased volume. The net 
realized price for refined copper was lower by 29.5%, which reduced net sales 
by $35.2 million. Bullion lead net sales were higher by $7.2 million in the 
1998 period compared to the 1997 period due to a 234.3% increase in volume 
and a 32.6% increase in net realized price. The volume increase is the result 
of the increased lead and silver production while the price increase is a 
result of increased silver content in the lead bullion due to increased 
silver in feed material. Refined lead net sales were $4.4 million lower in 
the 1998 period compared to the 1997 period due to a 16.7% decrease in the 
net realized price offset by a 9.6% increase in sales volume.

     COST OF SALES increased 5.1% from $96.5 million in the third quarter 
1997 to $101.4 million in the third quarter 1998. The 1998 period included 
higher power cost resulting from the new electricity contract implemented on 
October 23, 1997, a sales volume increase of approximately 10.6% and $1.1 
million of workers' profit sharing expense which was classified as 
administrative expense in the 1997 quarter. These increases were offset by 
the impact of improved metallurgical recoveries and a decrease in feed cost 
due to lower average prices of copper, gold and lead.

     Cost of sales increased 1.8% from $278.0 million in the nine months 
ended July 31, 1997 compared to $283.0 million in the nine months ended July 
31, 1998. The 1998 period included higher power cost resulting from the new 
electricity contract, a sales volume increase of approximately 10.8% and $2.3 
million of workers' profit sharing expense which was classified as 
administrative expense in the 1997 period. These increases were offset by the 
impact of improved metallurgical recoveries and a decrease in feed cost due 
to lower average prices of copper, gold and lead.

     DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION expense increased by $.1 million in the 
third quarter 1997 and $.7 million in the nine months ended July 31, 1998 
compared to the prior year, primarily due to the change in asset basis 
resulting from purchase accounting for the Acquisition.

                                  27

<PAGE>

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE expenses decreased 25.5% from $4.7 
million in the third quarter 1997 to $3.5 million in the third quarter 1998. 
Of this decrease, $.8 million was due to the personnel reduction program 
undertaken by Centromin, which was completed during 1997 and $1.1 million was 
due to the reclassification of workers' profit sharing to cost of sales. 
These decreases were partially offset by increases in salaries and other 
administrative costs.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 14.9% from $14.8 
million in the nine months ended July 31, 1997 to $12.6 million in the nine 
months ended July 31, 1998. Of this decrease, $1.3 million was due to the 
personnel reduction program undertaken by Centromin, which was completed 
during 1997, and $2.9 million was due to the reclassification of workers' 
profit sharing to cost of sales. Selling expenses were $.7 million lower due 
to a decrease in sales commissions and other commercial expenses, primarily 
salaries. These decreases were offset by increases in audit and legal fees, 
salaries and other administrative costs.

     INTERCOMPANY FEES for the third quarter and the nine months ended July 
31, 1998 represent charges recorded persuant to various services and agency 
agreements between Doe Run and Doe Run Peru, which are designed to reimburse 
Doe Run for the cost of selling and administrative services provided to Doe 
Run Peru.

     INCOME FROM OPERATIONS decreased $.9 million in the third quarter 1998 
compared to the third quarter 1997 and increased $1.3 million in the nine 
months ended July 31, 1998 compared to the nine months ended July 31, 1997 
due to the factors discussed above.

     INTEREST EXPENSE increased $4.3 million in the third quarter and $9.2 
million in the nine months ended July 31, 1998, compared to the prior year, 
due primarily to the increases in long-term debt associated with the 
Acquisition.

     OTHER INCOME, NET increased $.8 million in the third quarter 1998 
compared to the third quarter 1997 primarily due to translation gains, 
partially offset by costs related to the flooding caused by El Nino, 
primarily road and rail repairs. For the nine months ended July 31, 1998, 
other income, net increased by $1.8 million over the prior year due to the 
factors just discussed and to the elimination of expenses related to the 
privatization which was completed in 1997.

INCOME TAXES - DOE RUN PERU

     Doe Run Peru's income tax provision reflects the provision of its 
Peruvian subsidiaries at the statutory rate of 30%. Differences between the 
effective and statutory rate are due primarily to book losses of certain Doe 
Run Peru subsidiaries that cannot be offset against other subsidiaries' book 
income for Peruvian income tax purposes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's liquidity requirements arise from working capital 
requirements, capital investment and debt service obligations. The Company's 
primary available sources of liquidity are cash provided by operating 
activities and revolving credit facilities. Doe Run has available a revolving 
credit facility (the "Doe Run Revolving Credit Facility") that provides for 
advances by the lender to a maximum of $100.0 million less outstanding 
letters of credit, based on specific 

                              28

<PAGE>

percentages of eligible receivables and inventories. As of July 31, 1998, 
$6.8 million was outstanding, exclusive of $4.9 million of letters of credit, 
under the Doe Run Revolving Credit Facility. Doe Run Peru has available a 
revolving credit facility (the "Doe Run Peru Revolving Credit Facility") that 
provides for advances by the lender to a maximum of $40.0 million less 
outstanding letters of credit, based upon specific percentages of eligible 
receivables and inventories. At July 31, 1998, Doe Run Peru had outstanding 
$12.0 million, exclusive of $14.4 million of letters of credit, under the Doe 
Run Peru Revolving Credit Facility. Net unused availability under the 
respective facilities at July 31, 1998 was $38.7 million and $14.3 million.

     On September 1, 1998, the Company purchased the assets of the Missouri 
Lead Division ("MLD") of ASARCO Incorporated ("ASARCO"), including a smelter 
and refinery and two mines. Proceeds of $43.4 million from an offering of 
$50.0 million of 11.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2005, issued at a discount, 
plus loans under the Doe Run Revolving Credit Facility of $12.4 million 
financed the payment made at the closing. After this borrowing under the Doe 
Run Revolving Credit Facility and borrowings for interest payments on the 
Notes and other operating activity, the net unused availability under the Doe 
Run Revolving Credit Facility and the Doe Run Peru Revolving Credit Facility 
was $12.4 million and $12.0 million, respectively, as of September 15, 1998. 
Management believes that availability will improve from these levels and will 
be adequate to support ongoing operation.

     In the third quarter 1998, $2.1 million was used in operating 
activities, $6.1 million was used in investing activities and $8.4 million 
was provided by financing activities. For the nine months ended July 31, 
1998, $3.8 million was used in operating activities, $142.0 million was used 
in investing activities (this includes $125 million Special Term Deposit used 
to collateralize the Back-to-Back Loan, see discussion of financing 
activities below), and $149.3 million was provided by financing activities.

     As part of its financing activities, the Company issued the Notes with a 
face amount of $255.0 million. The net proceeds of the Notes were primarily 
used to pay $128.1 million plus accrued interest to banks in full settlement 
of the Doe Run term loan and to make the $125.0 million Special Term Deposit 
in a bank to collateralize the Back-to-Back Loan. Doe Run Peru used the 
proceeds of the Back-to-Back Loan to pay $100.0 million plus accrued interest 
to banks in full settlement of the Doe Run Peru term loan and to pay $23.0 
million to Doe Run in settlement of a subordinated note. Doe Run used the 
repayment of the subordinated note to pay $14.4 million to financial 
institutions in full settlement of a revolving credit facility, to pay Renco 
$5.0 million for redemption of preferred stock of $2.5 million plus accrued 
dividends and a transaction fee, and to pay associated fees and expenses.

     Doe Run has projected capital expenditures of approximately $15.7 
million for fiscal 1998, primarily for maintenance of operations, and 
operational and environmental improvements. In addition to ongoing capital 
investments, Doe Run has expended an average of approximately $59.5 million 
per year on maintenance from fiscal 1995 through fiscal 1997. As a result of 
these expenditures and ongoing efforts, Doe Run believes that it operates and 
will continue to maintain modern and efficient facilities.

     As part of the Acquisition, Doe Run Peru undertook a capital investment 
program estimated to total approximately $300.0 million over a ten-year 
period, in part to satisfy its investment commitment of $120.0 million as set 
forth in the acquisition contract. Doe Run Peru has projected capital 
expenditures of approximately $9.4 million for fiscal 1998, primarily for 
maintenance of 

                                29

<PAGE>

operations and operational and environmental improvements.

     The Company has substantial indebtedness and debt service requirements. 
As of July 31, 1998, on a consolidated basis, the Company had $399.7 million 
of indebtedness outstanding, or $274.7 million net of the Special Term 
Deposit. Management believes that cash flow from operations at Doe Run and 
Doe Run Peru, in addition to availability under the revolving credit 
facilities, will be sufficient to provide for the Company's liquidity needs 
for the foreseeable future.

     The Doe Run Revolving Credit Facility, the Doe Run Peru Revolving Credit 
Facility, and the indentures governing the Notes and the Secured Notes 
contain numerous covenants and prohibitions that impose limitations on the 
liquidity of the respective borrowers, including requirements that Doe Run 
and Doe Run Peru satisfy certain financial ratios and limitations in order to 
incur additional indebtedness. The ability of the Company to meet its debt 
service requirements and to comply with such covenants will be dependant upon 
future operating performance and financial results which will be subject to 
financial, economic, political, competitive and other factors affecting the 
Company, many of which are beyond the Company's control.

YEAR 2000 MATTERS

     Many information and process control systems used in the current 
business environment were designed to use only two digits in the date field, 
and thus may not function properly in the year 2000. Any of the Company's 
programs that have date-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as 
the year 1900 rather than the year 2000, which could result in a major system 
failure or in miscalculation. The Company has conducted a comprehensive 
review of its computerized information systems (IS) to identify the systems 
that could be affected by the "year 2000 problem" and has implemented a plan 
to resolve the issues identified. Currently, most of the major IS of the 
Company have been modified to be year 2000 compliant. The Company anticipates 
that the appropriate modifications to IS will be completed by mid-year 1999.

     Process control and other systems are being evaluated individually and 
may require replacement software, reprogramming and other corrective actions. 
The Company has not completed an evaluation of the status of these systems, 
and is unable at this time to estimate the required actions, if any, and 
related costs of making these systems year 2000 compliant.

     The Company's operations depend on the availability of utility services, 
primarily electricity and transportation services. A substantial disruption 
in any of these services due to providers of these services failing to 
achieve year 2000 compliance could have a significant impact on the Company's 
financial results. The Company intends to assess possible modifications to 
mitigate the risk of disruption to its operations.

     The cost of achieving year 2000 compliance is included in the Company's 
operating and administrative expenses.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

     In the normal course of its business, Doe Run has used in the past, and 
may use in the future, forward sales commitments and commodity put and call 
option contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in the prices of 
lead, copper, zinc and silver. Contract positions are designed to ensure that 
the Company will receive a defined minimum price for certain quantities of 

                               30

<PAGE>

its production. Gains and losses, and the related costs paid or premiums 
received, for option contracts which hedge the sales prices of commodities 
are recognized in net sales when the related production is sold. None of the 
aforementioned activities have been entered into for speculative purposes.
