(3) SALE/LEASEBACK TRANSACTION

    In January 1999, Doe Run Peru S.R.L. (Doe Run Peru) finalized an
    agreement for the sale and leaseback of its oxygen plant at the La Oroya
    facility for $17,162. Doe Run Peru has an option to repurchase the oxygen
    plant at the end of the five-year lease term for $200. This transaction
    has been accounted for as a financing arrangement. A sale and leaseback
    of computer equipment, accounted for as a financing arrangement, provided
    an additional $760 of cash flows from financing activities. Under a
    related capital lease, certain computer hardware was leased under a
    capital lease obligation for $603, which included a deferred maintenance
    balance of $151.

(4) CHANGE IN TAXABLE STATUS

    On January 15, 1999, Renco filed an election, with the consent of its
    shareholders, with the Internal Revenue Service to change its taxable
    status from that of a subchapter C corporation to that of a subchapter S
    corporation, effective November 1, 1998. At the same time, Renco elected
    for the Company to be treated as a qualified subchapter S subsidiary
    (QSSS). Most states in which the Company operates will follow similar tax
    treatment. QSSS status requires the ultimate shareholders to include
    their pro rata share of the Company's income or loss in their individual
    tax returns. The election does not affect foreign income taxes related to
    the Company's foreign subsidiaries, and the Company will continue to
    provide for state and local taxes for those jurisdictions that do not
    recognize QSSS status. As a result of this change in tax status, the
    elimination of federal and most state deferred tax assets and liabilities
    for income tax purposes resulted in a charge to income tax expense of
    $6,200 for the nine months ended July 31, 1999.

(5) HEDGING

    The fair market value of the Company's net hedging positions at July 31,
    1999 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, 1999 was $(792).

(6) ENVIRONMENTAL AND LITIGATION MATTERS
    ENVIRONMENTAL

    The Company recorded a liability of $34,536 and $35,896 as of July 31,
    1999 and October 31, 1998, respectively, which represent management's best
    estimates of known obligations relating to environmental and reclamation
    matters, which are discussed below.

        DOMESTIC OPERATIONS

    The Company is subject to numerous 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.

    Primary smelter slag produced by and stored at the primary smelter in
    Herculaneum, Missouri is currently exempt from hazardous waste regulation
    under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended
    (RCRA). The Company has accrued approximately $1,000 related to the
    Herculaneum smelter's operations, primarily for closure obligations. If
    the slag or other wastes at the smelter were to be regulated as hazardous
    waste, the Company may be required to take corrective action under RCRA
    at the smelter, as well as to adopt stricter management practices for
    these wastes. Further, the EPA has initiated an investigation of the
    smelter under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
    Liability Act of 1980, as amended (CERCLA), which could potentially
    require remediation similar to the corrective action mentioned above.

    At its primary smelter in Glover, Missouri, the Company intends to open a
    new slag pile for disposal of its smelting residue. The cost of opening the
    slag pile is estimated at $400, which will be capitalized. The slag pile
    will be available for use in November, 1999. According to the purchase
    agreement with Asarco, Inc. (ASARCO) is required to close the existing
    pile with proportionate contribution from Doe Run based on its use. Doe
    Run's contribution is expected to be minimal. The Company will accrue for
    closure of the new slag pile over the period of use.

    The Company is working with regulators to develop a new three-year
    compliance plan so that the Herculaneum smelter meets the ambient air
    quality standard for lead promulgated under the federal Clean Air Act.
    The plan must be completed by September 2000 and will take effect after
    that date to implement the control measures identified in the plan. The
    Company expects to make capital expenditures for various control measures
    totaling approximately $2,900 in fiscal 1999 and anticipates additional
    future cash requirements of $3,000 during the three-year compliance
    period. Regulators could require that additional measures be included in
    the plan, which could increase the amount of anticipated capital
    expenditures.

                             (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)


    The Company has received notice that it is a potentially responsible
    party (PRP) subject to liability CERCLA, at the following sites: four
    sites in St. Francois County, Missouri, including 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. There are four
    additional sites in St. Francois County for which the Environmental
    Protection Agency (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 a reserve as of July 31, 1999 of approximately $14,500 for these
    sites, including the four additional sites in St. Francois County, which
    the Company believes is adequate based on its investigations to date.
    However, depending upon the types of remediation required and certain
    other factors, costs at these sites, individually or collectively, could
    have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial
    condition and liquidity of the Company.

    The Company 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 (EE/CA) on the Bonne Terre site. In March 1998,
    an AOC was signed 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 (RI/FS) 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-half complete,
    with completion expected within two years. The Company believes the
    current reserves assigned to these sites are adequate. However, should
    remediation goals or areas change, requiring substantially increased
    measures, there can be no assurance that the reserves would be adequate.

    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 LaMotte Site. A predecessor of the Company was a former operator
    of the site in a joint venture with another company. The EPA has not
    decided whether any action will be taken, but the Company has signed an
    AOC to conduct an RI/FS at the site. 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 results of operations, financial condition or liquidity of
    the Company.

    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 reserves as of July 31, 1999 of
    approximately $1,800 for future corrective actions and $2,600 for closure
    costs for the permitted storage area.

    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. Management does not expect an appreciable increase in
    operating costs.

    The Company's mining and milling operations include seven mine waste
    disposal facilities that are subject to Missouri mine closure permit
    requirements. The total expected cost of closure is $14,600. The Company
    has begun certain closure requirements ahead of closure and will accrue
    for the cost of ultimate closure at a rate of approximately $450 per
    year. The Company's mine closure reserves were approximately $7,400 as of
    July 31, 1999.

        FOREIGN OPERATIONS

    Doe Run Peru has submitted to and received approval from the Peruvian
    government for the Programa de Adecuacion y Manejo Ambiental
    (Environmental Adjustment and Management Program) (the PAMA) that
    consisted of an environmental impact analysis, monitoring plan and data,
    mitigation measures and closure plan. The PAMA also sets forth the
    actions and corresponding annual investments the concession holder agrees
    to undertake in order to achieve compliance with the maximum applicable
    limits prior to expiration of the PAMA (ten years for smelters, such as
    Doe Run Peru's operations, and five years for any other type of mining or
    metallurgical operation). The required amount of annual investment must
    not be less than one percent of annual sales. Once approved, the PAMA
    functions as the equivalent of an operating permit with which the
    operator must comply. After expiration of the PAMA, the operator must
    comply with all applicable standards and requirements.

    Doe Run Peru has committed under its PAMA to implement the following
    projects through December 31, 2006: (i) new sulfuric acid plants; (ii)
    elimination of fugitive gases from the coke plant; (iii) use of
    oxygenated gases in the anodic residue plant; (iv) water treatment plant
    for the copper refinery; (v) a recirculation system for cooling waters at
    the smelter; (vi) management and disposal of acidic solutions at the
    silver refinery; (vii) industrial waste water treatment plant for the
    smelter and refinery; (viii) containment dam for the lead muds near the
    zileret plant; (ix) granulation process water at the lead smelter; (x)
    anode washing system at the zinc refinery; (xi) management and disposal
    of lead and copper slag wastes; and (xii) domestic waste water treatment
    and domestic waste disposal. Annual spending on a calendar year basis
    approved in the PAMA is as follows:

                                                    =========
</TABLE>

    The current estimate for the total of spending on environmental projects
    under the PAMA and on additional related process changes for Doe Run Peru
    is approximately $195,000 for this period.

    Doe Run Peru's operations historically and currently exceed some of the
    applicable Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM) maximum permissible limits
    pertaining to air emissions, ambient air quality and waste water effluent
    quality. The PAMA projects, which are more fully discussed below, have
    been designed to achieve compliance with such requirements prior to the
    expiration of the PAMA on January 13, 2007. No assurance can be given
    that implementation of the PAMA projects is feasible or that their
    implementation will achieve compliance with the applicable legal
    requirements by the end of the PAMA period. Doe Run Peru has advised the
    MEM that it intends to seek changes in certain PAMA projects that it
    believes will more effectively achieve compliance. However, there can be
    no assurance that the MEM will approve proposed changes to the PAMA or
    that implementation of the changes will not increase the cost of
    compliance. Further, there can be no assurance that the Peruvian
    government will not in the future require compliance with additional or
    different environmental obligations that could adversely affect Doe Run
    Peru's business, financial condition or results of operations. Under the
    purchase agreement related to the acquisition of the La Oroya assets in
    October 1997, Empresa Minera del Centro del Peru S.A. (Centromin), the
    previous owner of the La Oroya assets, agreed to indemnify Doe Run Peru
    against environmental liability arising out of its prior operations, and

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)

    performance of the indemnity has been guaranteed by the Peruvian
    government through the enactment of the Supreme Decree No. 042-97-PCM.
    However, there can be no assurance that Centromin will satisfy its
    environmental obligations and investment requirements, including those in
    its PAMA, or that the guarantee will be honored. Any failure by Centromin
    to satisfy its environmental obligations could adversely affect Doe Run
    Peru's business, financial condition or results of operations.

    According to the purchase agreement, the Company has the option to
    continue the use of the LaOroya smelter existing zinc ferrite disposal
    site until October 2000, 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 ferrite
    site is abandoned, the Company must pay this amount to Centromin.

    Doe Run Peru's Cobriza mine has a separate PAMA. The total cost of
    capital projects to manage tailings, sewage and garbage is approximately
    $4,700, to be expended over the next three years.

        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 six lawsuits alleging certain damages
    stemming from the operations at the Herculaneum 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
    would be composed of children who lived in Herculaneum during a period of
    time when they were nine 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, Missouri. The other four cases are personal injury
    actions by sixteen individuals who allege damages from the effects of
    lead poisoning due to operations at the smelter. Punitive damages also
    are 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. Because the cases are in 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.

    On May 21, 1999, a lawsuit was filed against the Company alleging certain
    damages from discontinued mine facilities in St. Francois County. The
    plaintiffs seek to have certified two separate classes. The first class
    would consist of property owners, alleging that property values have been
    damaged due to the tailings from the discontinued operations. The second
    class would be composed of children, and the remedy sought is medical
    monitoring for the class. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself
    against this claim. The Company is unable at this time to state with
    certainty the expected outcome of and the final costs of this suit.
    Therefore, there can be no assurance the suit will not have a material
    adverse effect on the results of operations, financial condition and
    liquidity of the Company.

(3)      SALE/LEASEBACK TRANSACTION

         In January 1999, Doe Run Peru finalized an agreement for the sale
         and leaseback of its oxygen plant at the La Oroya facility for
         $17,162. Doe Run Peru has an option to repurchase the oxygen plant
         at the end of the five-year lease term for $200. This transaction
         has been accounted for as a financing arrangement. A sale and
         leaseback of computer equipment, accounted for as a financing
         arrangement, provided an additional $760 of cash flows from
         financing activities. Under a related capital lease, certain
         computer hardware was leased under a capital lease obligation for
         $603, which included a deferred maintenance balance of $151.

(4)      CONVERSION OF LOAN TO FOREIGN CURRENCY

         In the second quarter of fiscal 1999, Doe Run Mining and Doe Run
         Peru agreed to convert the loan payable to Doe Run Peru by Doe Run

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

               The following discussion and analysis includes the U.S.
         operations of the Company, including FPI, and the Peruvian
         operations of the Company, including Doe Run Cayman and its
         Peruvian subsidiaries, and should be read in conjunction with the
         consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes
         thereto, and other financial information included herein.


         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                  The Company reported net income of $1.0 million for the
         three months ended July 31, 1999 (the 1999 quarter) compared to
         net income of $2.7 million for the three months ended July 31,
         1998 (the 1998 quarter). The Company's U.S. operations reported a
         net loss of $5.2 million (excluding intercompany fee revenue of
         $4.6 million) for the 1999 quarter compared to a net loss of $8.3
         million (excluding intercompany fee revenue of $4.2 million) in
         the 1998 quarter. The improvement in U.S. operations was
         primarily due to an increase in gross margins, in spite of lower
         lead, copper and zinc prices, due to increased volumes and lower
         unit production costs. This improvement was partially offset by
         increased depreciation expense primarily associated with the
         September 1998 acquisition of the Missouri Lead Division assets
         of ASARCO Incorporated (the MLD Acquisition) and increased
         interest expense resulting from an increase in outstanding debt,
         primarily associated with the MLD Acquisition. Peruvian
         operations contributed $6.1 million to net income for the 1999
         quarter (excluding intercompany fees and eliminations of $4.6
         million) compared to net income of $11.0 million (excluding
         intercompany fees and eliminations of $4.1 million) in the 1998
         quarter. The decrease in Peruvian net income was due primarily to
         lower copper prices and lower margins on refined copper resulting
         from lower treatment charges and difficulties in obtaining
         suitable feed material. Increased interest expense also
         contributed to the decrease in net income. Partially offsetting
         these factors were lower income taxes.

                  The Company reported a net loss of $12.6 million for the
         nine months ended July 31, 1999 (the 1999 period) compared to net
         income of $7.1 million for the nine months ended July 31, 1998
         (the 1998 period). The Company's U.S. operations reported a net
         loss of $29.8 (excluding intercompany fee revenue of $12.8
         million) million for the 1999 period compared to a net loss of
         $22.5 million (excluding intercompany fee revenue of $12.1
         million) for the 1998 period. The net loss increased primarily as
         a result of increased depreciation expense, increased interest
         expense and a write-off of deferred tax balances of $6.2 million
         associated with a change in tax status to a qualified subchapter
         S subsidiary. See "Item 1. Financial Statements - Note 4 to the
         Company's Consolidated Financial Statements" for a discussion of
         the change in tax status. These factors were partially offset by
         improved gross margins and absence of the extraordinary loss
         affecting the 1998 period. Peruvian operations contributed $17.2
         million to net income for the 1999 period (excluding intercompany
         fees and eliminations of $12.7 million) compared to net income of
         $29.5 million (excluding intercompany fees and eliminations of
         $12.1 million) for the 1998 period. The decrease in Peruvian net
         earnings was due primarily to lower margins on silver and copper
         and increased interest expense, partially offset by lower income
         taxes and absence of the extraordinary loss affecting the 1998
         period.

</TABLE>

                  Mine production of lead metal in concentrates for the
         1999 quarter increased by 59.3% compared to the 1998 quarter. Of
         this increase, 47.2% was attributable to the MLD Acquisition.
         Production by existing properties was 12.1% better in the 1999
         quarter, compared to the prior year, primarily due to an increase
         in ore grade from 5.56% in the 1998 quarter to 6.24% in the 1999
         quarter. Operating plans were modified, beginning in the second
         quarter of 1999, based on evaluations designed to optimize mine
         production in light of low metal prices and the availability of
         lead concentrates for purchase. As a result, during the 1999
         period, mining of lower grade areas was scaled back from planned
         levels. Mine production of lead metal in concentrates increased
         by 60.5% from the 1998 period to the 1999 period. Of this
         increase, 48.9% was attributable to the MLD Acquisition.
         Production by existing properties was 11.6% better than the prior
         year primarily due to an increase in ore grade from 5.42% in the
         1998 quarter to 6.01% in the 1999 quarter. While production
         exceeded the prior year, it was slightly less than planned, in
         spite of the improved ore grade, due to production disruptions
         that occurred during the first quarter and the modifications to
         the operating plan discussed above.

                                       25

         Primary smelter production for the 1999 quarter was 71.5% greater
than the 1998 quarter. The MLD Acquisition accounted for an increase of
63.5%. Production at the Company's Herculaneum primary smelter for the 1999
quarter was 8.0% better than the 1998 quarter primarily due to a more
efficient startup after the smelter's annual maintenance shutdown. For the
1999 period, primary smelter production increased 56.0% over the 1998 period.
An increase of 55.4% is attributable to the MLD Acquisition. In spite of
cooling system failures on its blast furnaces, which hampered production
during the first quarter of 1999, Herculaneum's production for the 1999
period improved 0.7% compared to the 1998 period

         Secondary smelter production exceeded the prior year by 2.8% for the
three months and 4.5% for the nine months ended July 31, 1999 due to improved
smelter operating efficiencies. These improvements were accomplished in spite
of the failure of the reverberatory furnace floor in July 1999, which
resulted in unplanned maintenance downtime and lost production. The furnace
has been rebuilt and production has returned to normal levels.

         During the third quarter of 1998, La Oroya installed equipment that
increased the capacity of its silver and lead refineries by approximately
25.0% and 4.8%, respectively. During the 1999 quarter the capacities of the
lead and zinc refineries were each increased by approximately five percent.
The benefits of these improvements, partially offset by problems obtaining
suitable feed material, are reflected in the production results for the
quarter and the nine months ended July 31, 1999. Refined silver production
exceeded the prior year by 19.4% and 21.5% for the quarter and the nine
months ended July 31, 1999, respectively. Refined lead production was .6%
lower for the quarter but up 1.8% for the nine months, compared to the prior
year. Refined zinc production was up 5.1% for the quarter and 2.6% for the
1999 period, compared to the prior year. Copper production was better than
the prior year for both the three months and the nine months ended July 31,
1999, but slightly less than expected, due to the reduced availability of
suitable concentrates. The tight market conditions for copper concentrates
continue currently, and the Company continues to partially mitigate the
impact of these market conditions by maximizing production of copper
concentrates from its Cobriza mine.

         Results of operations for the three months and the nine months ended
July 31, 1999 and 1998 include the results of the Company's U.S. and Peruvian
operations. In order to provide a more meaningful analysis, the results of
operations attributable to Peruvian operations will be noted and discussed
separately under "Results of Peruvian Operations."

         NET SALES in the 1999 quarter were $204.4 million compared to $184.4
million in the 1998 quarter. A decrease of $3.8 million is attributable to
Peruvian operations. U. S. net sales were $23.9 million or 38.3% higher in
the 1999 quarter, compared to the 1998 quarter, primarily due to greater lead
metal and zinc concentrate sales volume associated with the MLD Acquisition,
partially offset by slightly lower realized prices for lead metal and zinc
concentrates.

         Lead metal net sales increased 49.1% from $41.7 million in the 1998
quarter to $62.2 million in the 1999 quarter. An increase of $20.8 million in
lead metal net sales resulted from the production volume increase discussed
above and strong demand in the U.S. market. Zinc concentrate net sales were
higher by $2.0 million due to a 35.3% volume increase, resulting primarily
from the MLD Acquisition, partially offset by lower realized prices. Other
sales were higher primarily due to an increase of approximately $1.4 million
in sales by Seafab Metals Company, a division of FPI, which returned to full
production after relocating its fabrication plant during 1998, partially
offset by a reduction in sales of zinc metal imported from Peru.

         Net sales for the 1999 period were $577.8 million compared to $527.8
million for the 1998 period. A decrease of $12.9 million is attributable to
Peruvian operations. U.S. net sales for the 1999 period were $62.9 million
greater than the 1998 period due primarily to increased lead metal and zinc
concentrate sales volume partially offset by lower metal prices. Lead metal
net sales increased 43.7% from $122.3 million in the 1998 period to $175.8
million in the 1999 period. An increase of $65.2 million in lead metal net
sales resulted from the production volume increase and strong demand
discussed above. The average LME price for lead metal decreased 5.3% in the
1999 period, compared to the 1998 period. As a result, the Company's net
realized price was 6.2% lower in the 1999 period reducing net sales by $11.7
million. Net realized prices for lead metal and zinc and copper concentrates
include the effects of changes in premiums received, as well as net hedging
activity. Zinc concentrate sales were $4.7 million higher in the 1999 period,
compared to the 1998 period, due to a 45.7% volume increase partially offset
by a 13.4% reduction in the net realized price. Other sales were higher
primarily due to an increase of approximately $4.9 million in sales by Seafab
Metals Company, partially offset by a reduction in sales of imported zinc
metal.

         COST OF SALES for the 1999 quarter was $172.7 million compared to
$156.6 million for the 1998 quarter. A decrease of $1.8 million is
attributable to Peruvian operations. U.S. cost of sales for the 1999 quarter
was $17.9 million greater than the 1998 quarter. Volume changes, primarily
the increased sales of lead metal and zinc concentrates discussed above
accounted for a cost of sales increase of $24.5 million, which was partially
offset by a 9.4% reduction in the per unit production cost of lead metal.
This lower production cost is primarily the result of programs the Company
implemented during the second quarter of 1998 to minimize the impact of metal
price declines through cost reductions and productivity and revenue
enhancements. These programs, which are ongoing, include maintenance and
other expense reductions, selective mining of higher grade ores and increased
primary and secondary smelter production, all of which contributed to
improved unit production cost in the 1999 quarter. Also contributing to lower
unit costs were certain production efficiencies realized as a result of the
MLD Acquisition.

         Cost of sales for the 1999 period was $493.1 million compared to
$439.7 million for the 1998 period. Of this increase, $0.6 million is
attributable to Peruvian operations. U.S. cost of sales for the 1999 period
increased by $52.8 million compared to the 1998 period. Lead metal sales
volume was up 53.3% or 111,890 tons over the prior year, increasing cost of
sales by $64.0 million. Other volume changes added an additional $8.2 million
to cost of sales. These volume increases were partially offset by lower unit
production costs which were primarily the result of the Company's programs of
cost reduction and the productivity enhancements, and the efficiencies
realized as a result of the MLD Acquisition, discussed above.

         DEPLETION, DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION for the 1999 quarter
increased by $2.1 million compared to the 1998 quarter. For the 1999 period,
depletion, depreciation and amortization increased by $7.1 million, compared
to the 1998 period. Increases of $0.3 million for the 1999 quarter and $0.7
million for the 1999 period are attributable to Peruvian operations. The
increases in depletion, depreciation, and amortization for U.S. operations
for the 1999 quarter and the 1999 period are primarily attributable to the
MLD Acquisition.

<PAGE>

         INCOME FROM OPERATIONS for the 1999 quarter was $14.3 million
compared to $13.0 million for the 1998 quarter. For the 1999 period,
operating income was $31.4 million compared to $42.6 million for the 1998
period. Decreases of $3.0 million for the quarter and $14.9 million for the
nine months are attributable to Peruvian operations. The remainder of the
changes are primarily due to the factors discussed above.

          INTEREST EXPENSE increased by $2.4 million in the 1999 quarter,
compared to the 1998 quarter, due primarily to increases in the Company's
average outstanding debt balance. The increase in the Company's average
outstanding debt balance of approximately $101.5 million for the quarter was
primarily the result of borrowing to finance the MLD Acquisition and
increased working capital required for Peruvian operations and for operations
of the assets acquired in the MLD Acquisition.

          Interest expense increased by $17.4 million in the 1999 period,
compared to the 1998 period, due to an increase in the Company's average
outstanding debt balance and higher average interest rates. The increase in
the Company's average outstanding debt balance of approximately $189.4
million from the 1998 period to the 1999 period was primarily the result of
the $125 million required for a deposit (see "INTEREST INCOME", below) made
in a foreign bank as collateral for a loan made to Doe Run Mining (Special
Term Deposit), borrowing related to finance the MLD Acquisition and increased
working capital requirements discussed above.

          INTEREST INCOME increased $5.2 from the 1998 period to the 1999
period primarily due to interest income on the $125.0 million Special Term
Deposit.

          INCOME TAX EXPENSE for the 1999 quarter and the 1999 period
reflects the impact of a change in tax status effective at the beginning of
the fiscal year. See "Item 1. Financial Statements--Note 4 to the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements." As a result of this change in tax status,
the elimination of federal and most state deferred tax assets and liabilities
for income tax purposes resulted in a charge to income tax expense of $6.2
million in the 1999 period.

         NET SALES in the 1999 quarter were $118.2 million compared to $122.1
million in the 1998 quarter. This decline is the result of lower realized
prices, partially offset by improved sales volumes. The production
improvements discussed previously increased refined silver sales volume by
1.4 million ounces or 18.8%, increasing net sales by $7.7 million. The
average LBMA price for silver was 5.0% lower in the 1999 quarter, compared to
the 1998 quarter. As a result, the Company's net realized price for refined
silver was 7.8% lower in the 1999 quarter, reducing net sales by $3.8
million. Net realized prices for silver and other refined metals are net of
the effects of changes in premiums and hedging activities. Refined copper net
sales were lower by $3.8 million or 13.1% in the 1999 quarter primarily due
to a 13.6 % decrease in the net realized price. Refined lead net sales were
$2.0 million lower in the 1999 quarter due to a 3.4% decrease in the net
realized price and an 8.8% decrease in sales volume which was the result of
lower availability of metal in inventory at the beginning of the 1999
quarter. Toll volume was 51.2% lower in the 1999 quarter, compared to the
1998 quarter, reducing net sales by $1.8 million. This volume reduction was
due to the absence of toll material in the market at economic terms.

         Net sales for the 1999 period were $334.0 million compared to $346.9
million in the 1998 period. The decline is due to lower metal prices
partially offset by improved sales volumes. The production improvements
discussed previously increased refined silver sales volume by 4.0 million
ounces or 19.7%, increasing net sales by $23.2 million. Due to an 11.8%
decrease in the average LBMA price for silver, the Company's net realized
price for refined silver was 11.2% lower in the 1999 period, reducing net
sales by $15.7 million. Refined copper net sales were lower by $12.2 million
in the 1999 period, compared to the 1998 period, primarily due to a 15.0%
decrease in the net realized price. Refined zinc net sales were $5.6 million
lower in the 1999 period compared to 1998 period due to lower prices and
volumes.

         COST OF SALES decreased from $101.3 million in the 1998 quarter to
$99.5 million in the 1999 quarter. Sales volume increases, primarily the
increase in silver volume discussed above, account for an increase of $6.5
million in cost of sales. This increase was offset by lower unit production
costs resulting primarily from a decrease in feed costs due to lower market
prices for copper, lead, zinc, gold and silver.

         Cost of sales increased 0.2% from the 1998 period to the 1999
period. Increased sales volume of silver, lead, copper, blister copper and
other by-products, partially offset by lower refined zinc and bullion lead
sales, account for a $21.6 million increase in cost of sales. The increase
due to volume was offset by lower unit production costs for copper, lead,
zinc and silver that were primarily the result of lower cost of feed costs
for these metals.

         DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION expense increased by $0.3 million for
the 1999 quarter and $0.7 million the 1999 period, compared to the prior
year, primarily due to recent capital additions.

         SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES increased 5.7% in the
1999 period, compared to the 1998 period, primarily due to increased
insurance expense and legal and consulting fees related to the operation of
the Cobriza mine, partially offset by reductions in compensation and other
selling and administrative expenses.

         INCOME FROM OPERATIONS decreased $3.0 million in the 1999 quarter
compared to the 1998 quarter and $14.9 million in the 1999 period compared to
the 1998 period due primarily to the factors discussed above.

         INTEREST EXPENSE increased $0.3 million for 1999 quarter, compared
to the prior year, primarily as a result of the sale and leaseback of the
oxygen plant at the La Oroya smelter which was completed in January of 1999.
Financing of a portion of the acquisition cost of the Cobriza mine and an
increase in short term debt also contributed to the increase.

<PAGE>

                        Interest expense increased $3.7 million for the 1999
               period compared to the prior year, due to an increase of
               approximately $45.8 million in the average outstanding debt
               balance and higher average interest rates. Proceeds from the
               increase in the outstanding debt were used to repay a $23 million
               intercompany loan and to finance increased working capital
               required for ongoing operations.

                         OTHER NET, expense was $0.9 million in the 1999 quarter
               compared to other net income of $1.0 in the 1998 quarter. The
               change is primarily due to fluctuations in exchange gains and
               losses partially offset by other net income and expenses.

                         Other net, expense was $0.5 million in the 1999
               period compared to other net income of $0.6 in the 1998 period.
               The change is primarily due to fluctuations in exchange gains and
               losses partially offset by reductions of expenses related to the
               El Nino flooding that occurred during the 1998 period and other
               miscellaneous income.

               FOREIGN INCOME TAXES

                        The Company's foreign 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 subsidiaries that cannot be
               offset against other subsidiaries' taxable income for Peruvian
               income tax purposes.

               LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

                       The Company's liquidity requirements arise from its
               working capital requirements, and capital investment and debt
               service obligations. The Company's primary available sources of
               liquidity are cash provided by operating activities and two
               revolving credit facilities. In the U.S., the Company 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 percentages of eligible receivables and
               inventories. As of July 31, 1999, $18.4 million was outstanding,
               exclusive of $5.2 million of letters of credit, under the Doe Run
               Revolving Credit Facility. In Peru, the Company 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 and customs
               bonds based upon specific percentages of eligible receivables and
               inventories. At July 31, 1999, $9.0 million, exclusive of
               $2.5million of letters of credit and customs bonds, was
               outstanding under the Doe Run Peru Revolving Credit Facility. Net
               unused availability at July 31, 1999 was $42.3 million under the
               Doe Run Revolving Credit Facility and $28.5 million under the Doe
               Run Peru Revolving Credit Facility. In Peru, the Company also has
               available unsecured and uncommitted credit arrangements, and
               additional availability related to letters of credit and customs
               bonds, provided by local banks. At July 31, 1999, $6.2 million
               exclusive of $18.9 million of letters of credit and customs bonds
               was outstanding under these arrangements. Borrowings under the
               Peruvian working capital facilities, including the Doe Run Peru
               Revolving Credit Facility, are limited to $60.0 million under the
               indentures governing the Notes. In addition to availability under
               the credit facilities, the Company had $7.0 of cash on deposit at
               July 31, 1999.

                        In the 1999 quarter, cash provided by operating
               activities was $25.4 million, cash used in investing activities
               was $13.1 million and cash provided by financing activities was
               $13.5 million. For the 1999 period cash provided by operating
               activities was $21.7 million, cash used in investing activities
               was $24.9 million and cash provided by financing activities was
               $5.5 million (this includes net proceeds of $17.9 million from
               sale and leaseback transactions, including the sale and leaseback
               of La Oroya's oxygen plant discussed below).

                        On January 20, 1999, Doe Run Peru executed a sale and
               leaseback agreement with two Peruvian financial institutions. The
               main oxygen plant at La Oroya was sold at fair market value as
               determined by an independent appraisal. The proceeds, net of
               value added tax, of $17.2 million were used to reduce


                                       32
<PAGE>

               the outstanding balance on the Doe Run Peru Revolving Credit
               Facility and to pay the outstanding balance of an obligation to
               the Company of $3.8 million. The lease requires monthly payments
               of approximately $0.4 million and has a purchase option of $0.2
               million at the end its five-year term. On July 6, 1999 the
               Company borrowed $5.7 million, under a ten-year 9.9% secured
               note, to finance the purchase of capital assets.
               Payments are due monthly under the note.

                        In the U.S., the Company had capital expenditures of
               $11.2 million for the 1999 period and has projected total capital
               expenditures, in the U.S., for fiscal 1999 of approximately $13.8
               million, primarily to support ongoing operations and for
               operational and environmental improvements. In addition to these
               capital investments, the Company's U.S. operations expended an
               average of approximately $63.4 million per year on repairs and
               maintenance from fiscal 1996 through fiscal 1998. As a result of
               these expenditures, the Company believes that it operates and
               will continue to maintain modern and efficient facilities.

                        As part of the acquisition of its Peruvian operations,
               the Company has undertaken a capital investment program, in part
               to satisfy an investment commitment of $120.0 million as set
               forth in the purchase agreement. The company has recently
               received the final report which indicates that total qualifying
               expenditures under the investment commitment in fiscal 1998 were
               $36.4 million, including capital expenditures of $9.6 million,
               operating expenses of $8.5 million and a working capital increase
               of $18.3 million. Peruvian operations had capital expenditures of
               $13.7 million in the 1999 period and have projected total capital
               expenditures for fiscal 1999 of approximately $19.0 million,
               primarily to support ongoing operations and for operational and
               environmental improvements.

                        The Company has substantial indebtedness and debt
               service requirements. As of July 31, 1999, on a consolidated
               basis, the Company had $485.8 million of indebtedness
               outstanding, or $360.8 million net of the Special Term Deposit.
               Management believes that cash flows from operations, in addition
               to availability under the revolving credit facilities, will be
               sufficient to meet 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 contain numerous covenants and restrictions, including
               requirements that the Company satisfy certain financial ratios in
               order to incur additional indebtedness. The ability of the
               Company to meet its debt service requirements and to comply with
               such covenants is dependent upon future operating performance and
               financial results which are subject to financial, economic,
               political, competitive and other factors affecting the Company,
               many of which are beyond the Company's control.

                      On January 15, 1999, Renco filed an election, with the
               consent of its shareholders, with the Internal Revenue Service to
               change its taxable status from that of a subchapter C corporation
               to that of a subchapter S corporation, effective November 1,
               1998. At the same time, Renco elected for the Company to be
               treated as a QSSS. As a result of such election, generally, no
               provision for federal income taxes will be included in the
               Company's statements of income for periods beginning after
               October 31, 1998. However, under the "built-in gain" provisions
               of the tax law, federal and state taxes may become payable and
               will be charged to the Company's statement of income. Such taxes
               are measured by the excess of the fair market value of assets
               over their tax bases at the effective date of the S corporation
               election if the appreciated assets are disposed of within the
               ten-year post-conversion period. It is not management's present
               intent to generate any taxes under the built-in gain provisions
               of the tax laws. See "Item 1. Financial Statements--Note 4 to the
               Company's Consolidated Financial Statements."


               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 therefore 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


                                       33
<PAGE>

               year 1900 rather than the year 2000, which could result in a
               major system failure or in miscalculations. The Company conducted
               a comprehensive review of its computerized information systems
               (IS) to identify systems that could be affected by the year 2000
               problem and has implemented a plan to resolve the issues
               identified. In the U.S., the Company changed its critical
               programs so that a four-digit year would be recognized. These
               programs were tested at the end of February 1999 and the Company
               identified and began correcting programs that were not properly
               processing the new date fields. The modified programs are
               currently in use and will cointinue to be monitored through
               normal operating cycles to determine whether the new date fields
               are being processed properly. The Company anticipates that
               modification of non-critical systems will be completed by
               November 1999. The Company expects to spend,including spending
               to date, approximately $.4 million in
               modifying its U.S. information systems.

                      In Peru, current computerized systems supporting the
               Company's financial, commercial, and logistical functions are
               largely year 2000 non-compliant. The Company is dependent on
               these systems to conduct its basic day to day business functions.
               The Company has purchased new computing hardware and software to
               replace most of these systems. Systems not being replaced are
               being upgraded to year 2000 compliance. Implementation and
               training on the new systems is being conducted by
               cross-functional teams comprised of employees allocated to the
               project and specialized outside consultants. The Company has
               developed an implementation plan using the software vendor's
               implementation methodology. This plan identifies the critical
               software modules and four specific phases that must be
               accomplished in order to implement them. The first two phases
               involve identifying the software functions and reports to be used
               by the Company and the changes required to customize the software
               to the Company's needs. Phase three involves setting up the
               software according to the Company's structure and programming
               the required customization. Phase four involves initial
               implementation, testing and final user training. The critical
               modules have been identified as general ledger, accounts payable,
               project costing, purchase order and inventory. The company has
               completed the first two phases and is approximately 90% complete
               with phase three for all critical modules, with completion of
               the fourth phase by November, 1999. Industry-specific commercial
               and metallurgical systems are being created that are compatible
               with the purchased software modules. The design and development
               phases of these systems are substantially complete. Testing and
               training are expected to be complete by November, 1999. The
               Company has spent approximately $1.0 million to date on these
               efforts, with a total estimate at completion of $2.9 million.

                      The Company has evaluated the status of process controls
               and other non-IS systems, and identified the required actions,
               which consist mostly of software upgrades, of making these
               systems year 2000 compliant. The Company has already completed
               the installation of software in certain areas. Correction to all
               critical systems is targeted for completion by November 1999. The
               Company believes that it can revert to manual process control,
               should there be any problems with process control systems as a
               result of the year 2000.

                        The Company's operations are dependent on various third
               parties, specifically for the availability of utility services,
               primarily electricity, and transportation services. The Peruvian
               operations depend on the viability and performance of certain
               customers and suppliers. Areas of particular vulnerability
               include the supply of concentrate feed, electric power supply,
               transportation services. In Peru, the Company also has exposure
               to the performance of certain government agencies, particularly
               with respect to the import and export of products and the
               reimbursement to the company of export tax credits. The Company
               has written and/or visited key suppliers, customers and
               government agencies requesting assurance that year 2000 issues
               will not disrupt their ability to provide service to the Company.
               In the U.S., the Company has not received any responses that
               indicate any customers' or suppliers' failure to achieve year
               2000 compliance will have an impact on its operations. In Peru,
               responses have been received from less than one-third of the
               parties from whom information has been requested and many
               entities responding have not completed Y2K compliance activities.

                      The Company is developing contingency plans to mitigate
               the risk of disruption to its operations


                                       34

<PAGE>
               based on responses received from third parties. A substantial
               disruption in utility services or feed supply or decreases in
               orders from significant customers due to these third parties
               failing to achieve year 2000 compliance could have a significant
               impact on the Company's results of operations, financial
               position, or liquidity.

                      Except for the new system in Peru discussed above, the
               cost of achieving year 2000 compliance are to be included in the
               Company's operating and administrative expenses. Due to the
               inherent uncertainties surrounding the effect of the year 2000,
               there can be no assurance that failures or implications,
               including potential litigation, will not have a material adverse
               effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position
               or liquidity.

               FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

                      This report includes "forward-looking statements" within
               the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
               1995 which involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
               other important factors that could cause the actual results,
               performance or achievements of the Company to differ materially
               from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or
               implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks,
               uncertainties, and other important factors include, among others:
               general economic and business conditions; increasing industry
               capacity and levels of imports of non-ferrous metals or
               non-ferrous metals products; industry trends, including product
               pricing; competition; currency fluctuations; the loss of any
               significant customer; availability of qualified personnel;
               effects of future collective bargaining agreements; major
               equipment failures; unanticipated problems encountered in the
               year 2000 readiness program; and availability of replacement
               equipment to achieve year 2000 readiness. These forward-looking
               statements speak only as of the date of this report. The Company
               expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to disseminate
               any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement
               contained herein to reflect any change in the Company's
               expectations with regard thereto or any change in events,
               conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is
               based.

              ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
              RISK.

                      In the normal course of its business, the Company 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 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.

               PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION.

               ITEM 2.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

               LORI GOVREAU VS. THE DOE RUN RESOURCES CORPORATION was filed in
               February, 1999, in the Circuit Court, 23rd Judicial Circuit at
               Hillsboro, Jefferson County, Missouri alleging certain damages
               stemming from the operations at the Herculaneum smelter damages
               from the effects of lead poisoning due to operations at the
               smelter. Punitive damages also are being sought.

               On May 21, 1999, CHARLES MULLINS, II, ET AL., VS. THE DOE RUN
               RESOURCES CORPORATION was filed in the Circuit Court, 23rd
               Judicial Circuit at Hillsboro, Jefferson County, Missouri. The
               case alleges certain damages from discontinued mine facilities in
               St. Francois County. The plaintiffs seek to have certified two
               separate classes. The first class would consist of property
               owners, alleging that property values have been damaged due to
               the tailings from the discontinued operations. The second class
               would be composed
                                       35

               of children, and the remedy sought is medical monitoring for the
               class. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against
               this claim. The Company is unable at this time to state with
               certainty the expected outcome of and the final costs of this
               suit. Therefore, there can be no assurance the suit will not have
               a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial
               condition and liquidity of the Company.

specifically accepting that they will take them in use and as financial
leasing under the terms of this contract.

<PAGE>

may correspond to be filed against the original supplier, freeing THE LESSORS
from any charge thereof.

THIRD:  The goods matter of this financial leasing are at THE LA OROYA
METALLURGICAL COMPLEX, LOT "F-1 OXYGEN PLANT NO. 2", a part of the Smelter
Section, located on the right margin of the main access road to the La Oroya

have the express and written authorization of THE LESSORS, which shall not be
denied unreasonably, always at the cost and responsibility of the CLIENT, who
hereby commits itself to comply with the terms that THE LESSORS impose for
such change of place.

FOURTH:  THE CLIENT hereby complies with ratifying that the good(s) matter of
this contract is(are) co-ownership of THE LESSORS, in the proportion
indicated in clause one hereof, hereby binding itself to adopt every
necessary and convenient measure so that THE LESSORS may identify the good(s)
that belong to them, in possession by the CLIENT; by placing plates that
indicate that it(they) is(are) good(s) which is(are) a co-ownership of THE
LESSORS, in the cases that the aforesaid may correspond.

       In every credit /or guaranty contract, under any modality, that the
CLIENT enters into in the future with third parties and that in any manner
may affect the goods matter of this contract, evidence should be given in a
special clause to the fact that said good(s) is(are) a property of THE
LESSORS, and thus it(they) is(are) not subject to any measure whatsoever that
may favor them.

       In the case of a declaration of insolvency, bankruptcy of THE CLIENT,
precautionary measures for embargo or any other measure that in any manner
may affect the property that THE LESSORS have on the good(s) matter of this
contract, the CLIENT must immediately inform the respective authority or
entity, as well as THE LESSORS, thereof; bearing all the expenses and costs
that may be incurred by THE LESSORS to file the legal actions required for
the recognition of their right to the property or for third-party
interventions; without prejudice to assume and pay THE LESSORS the damages
and losses that such measures may cause them.

FIFTH: Should the good(s) that is(are) the subject matter of this contract
have to be fixed or incorporated into a real estate element, this must be
done in such a manner that will permit it(their) separation without damaging
or affecting its(their) characteristics and functions. Any modification made
by THE CLIENT to the good(s), be them movable or real property, whose cost is
less than US$200,000.00, plus the corresponding Value Added Tax, must be
informed to THE LESSORS. If

<PAGE>

the modification exceeds the amount ofUS$200,000.00, plus the corresponding
Value Added Tax, THE CLIENT must obtain THE LESSORS' prior written
authorization to make such modification, which shall not be denied
unreasonably. Likewise, THE CLIENT cannot incorporate accessories or parts
within the good(s) that reduce its(their) value.

       The modifications introduced by the CLIENT within the goods which cost
is less than US$200,000, will be informed to THE LESSORS quarterly.

SIXTH:  Since the rulings in force specifically indicate that the goods
matter of financial leasing must be insured, THE CLIENT will contract,
directly, an Insurance Policy from an Insurance Company regarded satisfactory
by THE LESSORS, against "ALL RISK PROPERTY INSURANCE COVERING ALSO ENGINEER
RISKS AND BURGLARY OR ASSAULT" (destruction, loss, theft, earthquake, civil
disturbance, terrorism, violence of third parties and dependents, sabotage,
fire, flood, misuse, civil liability, machine breaking, and other normal and
ordinary matters).  The aforementioned insurance must be contracted at least
as from two days before the date fixed for the delivery of the good(s) and
for an amount equivalent to the replacement value of the good(s); assuming
the cost of the premiums.

       The respective Policy must be delivered to THE LESSORS, issued or
endorsed in their favor, indicating as a condition that the insurance
contract will not be canceled due to lack of payment without first informing
THE LESSORS on this regard; who are hereby authorized to make the payment and
entitled to demand its refund plus compensatory and moratorium interest at a
rate of 3% per year in addition to the compensatory interests, from the date
of non-compliance to the date that the total owed amount is fully paid,
without assuming any liability if such payment is not made. If for some
unforeseen reason, the CLIENT has not taken out the insurance policy within
the established term, and the delivery of the good(s) has taken place, THE
LESSORS will directly insure the leased good(s) under the already stated
terms and the cost of the policy will be automatically charged to any of the
accounts kept by the CLIENT in the Banco de Credito del Peru, hereby
irrevocably authorizing the Banco de Credito del Peru so that THE LESSORS may
make the aforementioned charges with a simple request only.

       The parties hereby acknowledge that they are aware of the fact that
the amount of the franchise of the insurance to be contracted is
US$250,000.00 (TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND AND 00/100 US DOLLARS), thus,
any damage/loss for a smaller amount, shall be directly assumed by THE CLIENT.

       Any uncovered risk, provided and when it has not been caused by THE
LESSORS, as well as any default or refusal to pay by the Insurance Company,
shall be assumed by THE CLIENT.

       Independent from who contracted the aforementioned insurance, if a
damage/loss occurs which in THE LESSORS' reasonable opinion affects the
aptitude or good performance or good

<PAGE>

operation of the leased goods because they are not commercially repairable
and the Insurance Company accepts the total loss of the goods, the sum paid
by the referred Insurance Company will be destined by THE LESSORS, prior
agreement with the CLIENT, to:

     (a) Replace or repair the goods that have thus been declared, so that this
     contract will go forward under the same terms. If this were not possible
     for any reason of legal nature or at the parties' will, a new contract
     will be executed exclusively referred to such goods, ending this
     contract.

     (b) Apply its amount to the payment of the balance of the financial leasing
     obligation, which will be equivalent to the current value of the
     installments pending maturity, applying a discount rate equivalent to
     4.75% per year.

       If within a term of 30 days of having received the payment made by the
Insurance Company, THE LESSORS and the CLIENT do not reach an agreement with
regard to whether said funds must be applied in the manner describe in items
(a) or (b) hereinbefore, the funds paid by the Insurance company will be
destined to the alternative contemplated in clause (b).

       In the event that a loss/damage is considered a partial damage, the
parties will make the necessary efforts so that the payment made by the
Insurance Company in favor of THE LESSORS is deposited in the account that
the CLIENT keeps in the Banco de Credito del Peru, so that this amount may be
placed at the disposal of the CLIENT upon his request, in order to make the
necessary repairs.  Any surplus that may result from the amount paid by the
Insurance Company after repairing the damages, shall exclusively benefit the
CLIENT.

All surpluses that may arise from the amount paid by the Insurance Company,
after opting for alternative (a) or (b) mentioned hereinbefore, shall
exclusively benefit THE CLIENT.

SEVENTH: This financial leasing contract will have the duration that is
stipulated in EXHIBIT B.  Said term will be counted as from the first day of
the month following the date on which THE LESSORS make the total disbursement
required for the purchase of the good(s) matter of this contract, until the
date corresponding to the payment of the last installment; hereby agreeing
that this term shall be mandatory for both parties.

       Notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing paragraph, the
obligations that are provided for within this contract shall enter into force
from the moment in which THE LESSORS make the full payment for the purchase
of the good(s) stated in EXHIBIT B, reason why, THE CLIENT is hereby
committed to the payment of one pre-installment that represents the
compensatory interest in effect

<PAGE>

at the Banco de Credito del Peru for this type of operations, interest that
will be applied to the payment of the expenses, services and taxes that may
be applicable, as well as to the interests and to any other additional
concept that may correspond for investments made by THE LESSORS to make the
financial leasing matter of this contract feasible; all of which will be
calculated from the date on which the disbursements are produced to the first
working day of the following period.

       The parties hereby agree that THE CLIENT may use the good(s) during
the period counted as from the time THE CLIENT has transferred the property
of the good(s) to THE LESSORS until this contract goes into effect.

EIGHTH:  THE CLIENT pledges to regularly pay in US Dollars and under the
method of payment stipulated to that effect in EXHIBIT B, financial leasing
installments in accordance with the Payment Schedule that as EXHIBIT C forms
an integral part of this contract.

       Thus, any increase before the end of this contract, generated as a
consequence of taxes directly related to the property of the good(s) will
entail, prior communication to the CLIENT, the generation of extraordinary
installments; a situation that the CLIENT hereby declares to know and accept.

       THE LESSORS will facilitate THE CLIENT the possibility of bringing
actions, appeals, claims or participating in the processes and, in general,
of using every legal recourse to enforce his rights to be able to obtain the
refund of what was paid by THE LESSORS, against any authority, public or
private entity or company that may have generated the payment of said
expenses or taxes.

DISBURSEMENT COMMISSION:   The  CLIENT hereby binds itself to pay THE LESSORS
at the time of the disbursement a Commission equivalent to 1% of the total
financed amount, that is, US$200,000.00, plus the corresponding Value Added
Tax.

NINTH:  With regard to the payments that the CLIENT assumes by means of this
contract, it pledges to maintain a current account in the Banco de Credito
del Peru, in the same currency that has been agreed upon for the payments,
and it pledges to maintain every month in this account on the day of each
maturity, the necessary funds in that account to handle the respective
monthly charges; unless THE LESSORS have specifically authorized a different
form of payment. For purposes of what was established above, by means of this
document and without any need for any other formality, the CLIENT irrevocably
authorizes the Banco de Credito del Peru to make the charges that arise from
this contract. Should there be no timely payment of the total amount of any
of the payment obligations assumed by means of this contract, whatever the
reason may be, and after having elapsed 8 (eight) calendar days as from the
maturity date, the CLIENT hereby specifically and irrevocably authorizes THE
LESSORS to apply any fund or security that it may have

<PAGE>

in the power of Credito Leasing S.A. and/or the Banco de Credito del Peru in
its name, whether individually or jointly with third parties; for which
purpose no prior formality whatsoever will be needed and the CLIENT
specifically exempts both Credito Leasing S.A. as well as the Banco de
Credito del Peru from any liability for the disposal of the funds and/or
securities authorized hereinabove.

       For the above indicated purposes, the CLIENT authorizes Credito
Leasing S.A. and the Banco de Credito del Peru to sell/purchase the necessary
currency to honor its obligations at the rate of exchange that the Banco de
Credito del Peru has in force at the time of the foreign exchange operation,
exempted from any liability for any difference in the rate of exchange.

TENTH: Both parties hereby agree that a delay in the payment of one financial
leasing installment, as well as any other delay in the compliance with the
payments that as a consequence from this contract the CLIENT must make in
favor of THE LESSORS, shall originate for the former the additional
obligation of paying moratorium interest, at a rate of 3% per year, in
addition to compensatory interests; from the date of non-compliance to the
date the total owed amount is paid.

       For the purposes of what is provided in the preceding paragraph and
pursuant to the provisions set forth in item 1 of Article 1333 of the Civil
Code, the CLIENT shall incur in automatic moratorium without needing any
notification or demand whatsoever.

ELEVENTH:  The CLIENT may exercise the option to purchase the financial
leasing in an anticipated manner, only 25 months after the time it went into
effect.  To this end, it must pay THE LESSORS an amount equivalent to the
current value of the leasing installments that have not matured yet, applying
to them a discount rate equivalent to 4.75% per year, plus 1% of the purchase
value of the goods matter of the financial leasing, plus the amount
equivalent to the value of one installment per year or fraction that is
prepaid, plus the corresponding value added tax.

       The request to exercise the purchase option in an anticipated manner
must be made by the CLIENT at least (2) months before the day determined to
exercise the option.

TWELFTH: The CLIENT, with regard to the good(s) owned by THE LESSORS that

       and time of service shall be reasonable determined by mutual agreement

              to comply with any of the payment obligations assumed in this
              contract, and such circumstance continues without being corrected
              within a term of ten (10) calendar days as of the date of the
              notarial notice sent by THE LESSORS for such purpose;

       (b)    Failure to comply with an Obligation.-  If the CLIENT fails to
              comply with any of the obligations assumed under this contract,
              and such circumstance continues without being corrected within a
              term of thirty (30) calendar days as of the date of the notarial
              notice sent by THE LESSORS for such purpose.

     In the case of any default in the payment or the obligations assumed by
the CLIENT referred to in the preceding items a and b, THE LESSORS, at their
sole decision, will be fully entitled to demand the defaulted obligations
plus interest, taxes and other expenses that may have been generated,
including those incurred as a result of proceedings for extra-judicial
collection whether carried out directly or through third parties.

<PAGE>

14.2   In the case that an "Event of Default" will occur, this contract will be
       ended without any further formality, and THE LESSORS will be entitled to
       collect the amount owed to that date, as well as the total amount of the
       installments and/or pre-installment pending payment, as loss of profit
       that corresponds to THE LESSORS; voiding the effect of the benefit of the
       not-matured terms established in favor of the CLIENT.

       Under that assumption, the CLIENT will be bound to pay moratorium
       interest at a rate of 3% per year, in addition to the compensatory
       interest, as of the date of non-compliance and until the date on which
       the total owed amount in fully paid, plus the total amount of the
       installments regarded as matured as a consequence of the preclusion of
       the terms, due to non compliance by the CLIENT.

14.3   Once the contract is ended in an automatic manner, due to any of the
       reasons that this document foresees, THE LESSORS hereby bind themselves
       to inform the CLIENT thereof by means of a notarial notice within a term
       that shall not exceed seven (7) business days after the termination
       occurs.

       On the other hand, the CLIENT hereby assumes the obligation of placing at
       the disposal of THE LESSORS for their return, the good(s) which belong to
       them within a term of three (03) business days counted as of the receipt
       of the letter sent by THE LESSORS referred to in the preceding paragraph,
       in the same condition that it received it(them) and without more wear
       that the normal and adequate use of the good(s) for the purpose it(they)
       were bought, during the time it(they) were used; being on the account of
       the CLIENT the payment of the delivery expenses, as well those that THE
       LESSORS may indicate to repair any damage(s) of the good(s).

       For the purpose of this contract the good(s) shall be understood as
       returned with the notarial letter that the CLIENT sends to THE LESSORS
       indicating that the good(s) are at their disposal .

14.4   Any "Event of Default" incurred by the CLIENT regarding its obligations,
       be it partially or totally, and that originates the termination of this
       contract, shall automatically result in the loss of the aforementioned of
       the right to exercise the option to acquire the property of the good(s)
       subject of this contract.

<PAGE>

       As an exception, if so accepted by THE LESSORS, the CLIENT will have
the right to keep the possession of the good(s) and as property, if after
making the total payment of the above mentioned matured or to be matured
installments and /or pre-installment, and of any other amount indicated by
THE LESSORS, the CLIENT exercises the option right agreed upon making the
respective total payment, before THE LESSORS have proceeded to the withdrawal
of the good(s).

FIFTEENTH: This contract having been canceled for any motive or the contract
having ended without the CLIENT exercising his option right, THE LESSORS may
freely dispose of the good(s); being hereby specifically authorized by the
CLIENT to enter into the premises that their property leased in favor of THE
CLIENT without their consent, or to withdraw it(them) from the place where
it(they) is(are) without incurring in any liability whatsoever, whether for
trespassing or for any other infraction or damage, to which the CLIENT hereby
expressly waives by granting in this act authorization for the withdrawal of
the good(s) in accordance with what is indicated hereinabove.

       All of this without prejudice to continue paying THE LESSORS as a
lease, installments equal to those stipulated within this contract and once
its term has expired, monthly installments equal to the last one established
for the financial leasing and in both presumptions, plus an increase
equivalent to the moratorium interest of 3% in addition to the compensatory
interests on the monthly installments, as long as the return of the good(s)
takes.

SIXTEENTH: Aside from the causes for the cancellation of the contract that
have already been indicated, this contract shall be considered to have been
automatically concluded when any of the following situations have occurred:

       (a)    Provided they qualify as an "Event of Default" the lack of payment
       of two or more consecutive installments and/or pre-installments, unless
       it would be the last installment or an extraordinary installment, in
       which case the lack of payment of this last one or of any extraordinary
       one, or the delay of payment for more than two months will suffice.

       (b)    The CLIENT, at its request or at the request of third parties, is
       declared to be insolvent or a court demands that it indicates which goods
       are free subject to the penalty of being declared bankrupt or titles are
       protested of which the CLIENT is the main debtor or when the CLIENT
       enters into a process of dissolution and liquidation or seeks shelter
       under the Law of Equity Restructuring;

       (c)    When the CLIENT for any reason ceases to perform its activity;

       indirectly, the 66.66% interest in Doe Run Peru, except if has the
       approval by THE LESSORS.

       (e)    When changes of location of the good(s) matter of this contract
       occur from the site where they are to a place that has not been
       previously authorized by THE LESSORS;

       (f)    When the CLIENT fails to present the financial information
       referred to in literal (j) Clause Twelve, and that qualifies as an Event
       of Default.

       (g)    When the use of the good(s) is subleased or assigned to third
       parties, without written authorization by THE LESSORS; except for what is
       provided in literal (a) of clause twelve hereof.

       (h)    When the CLIENT incurs in any cause for the rescission and/or
       cancellation in any other credit contract entered into with THE LESSORS;

       (i)    If on a date after the signing of this contract, the Peruvian
       Government carries out any action that under the reasonable criterion of
       THE LESSORS may result in the loss of any of its substantial rights as
       creditors under this contract - THE LESSORS will immediately communicate
       it to THE CLIENT to seek a solution within a term of 15 calendar days -
       or confiscates, expropriates or nationalizes the property or control of
       the CLIENT, of the goods, matter of this contract.

       In the event that the Peruvian Government expropriates the good(s) matter
       of the financial leasing contract, the fair price that it pays to THE
       LESSORS shall serve to pay to the extent possible the debt of THE CLIENT
       to THE LESSORS deriving from this contract, and only if there is a
       balance in favor, this will be delivered to THE CLIENT.

       Likewise, THE LESSORS hereby agree and commit themselves, in the event
       that any of the institutions or entities of the Peruvian State
       expropriate or nationalize the good(s) matter of the financial leasing
       contract, to facilitate THE CLIENT (i) the filing of the complaints,
       recourse or legal or judicial measure or (ii) the answer to the
       complaint, recourse or measure that the State may impose on the property
       of the good(s), that enable THE CLIENT to enforce its rights before the
       Peruvian State for the collection of a fair-priced indemnization, that
       reflects the true value of the good(s) and damages and losses caused by
       the expropriation.

       THE LESSORS hereby commit themselves to facilitate to THE CLIENT the
       exercise of its rights and actions provided in Article 552 of the Code of
       Civil Procedures, so that (i) the lapsing of the expropriation right of
       the Peruvian State be declared, as well as (ii) the nullity,

<PAGE>

       illegality, incompatibility of the legal provision that authorizes,
       orders and executes the expropriation, (ii) the disagreement with the
       appraisal or the form of payment, and (iv) the reversion, as well as any
       other action or right that may be created in the future.

SEVENTEENTH: By this act, THE LESSORS grant the CLIENT the right to an option
to purchase the good(s) indicated in EXHIBIT B and that may be exercised by
the CLIENT only up to the day indicated as the end of the contract, provided
that on the date of exercising the option, it has previously complied with
the payment of all the installments. In that case, it will deliver to THE
LESSORS as full payment for the transfer of ownership in its favor, the
purchase option established in EXHIBIT B which must be fully paid up within
the peremptory term of 2 business days after exercising the option right.
This payment shall be understood to be for the transfer of the ownership of
the good(s) in favor of the CLIENT and shall be made in the same currency
that has been agreed upon, plus the taxes that directly affect said transfer.
 THE LESSORS hereby declare that the goods matter of the purchase option will
be free from any lien or encumbrance or judicial or extra-judicial measure of
any kind that may limit or restrict its property and right to free disposal,
hereby binding themselves notwithstanding this statement to guarantee title
and right of possession in case of an eviction.

Should the CLIENT not exercise this option, and if it so agreed between the
parties, this contract may be extended or renewed for the term and under the
new conditions agreed upon and formalized for this purpose by means of
another public deed.

EIGHTEENTH: The CLIENT, pursuant to the provisions set forth in clause eight
hereof is obliged to assume all taxes, costs and expenses originated from the
acquisition of the good(s) and/or which affect this financial leasing
operation and the installments that correspond to be paid by the CLIENT; as
well as the notary and registry expenses deriving from the aforesaid; which
unless they have been included as part of this financial leasing operation,
will be charged to the CLIENT's account kept in Banco de Credito del Peru in
keeping with the provisions set forth in clause nine hereof, unless the
CLIENT proves to have paid them directly with prior authorization by THE
LESSORS.

       Likewise, the CLIENT will fully assume the payment of the water,
electricity and/or telephone bills.

NINETEENTH: THE CLIENT hereby declares that as regards the computer systems
that it uses, and, particularly, the software required for the normal
operation of its business, it is aware and knows the risks associated to the
change of date from December 31, 1999 to January 1 of year 2000.  Thus,
before such foreseeable risks of which it is aware, THE CLIENT hereby
declares that

<PAGE>

no event, foreseeable or not by him related to the aforementioned change of
the millennium, shall constitute a reason to justify any non-compliance
whatsoever with any of its obligations with THE LESSORS, and they shall not
constitute acts of God, events of force majeure, or unforeseeable events, or
causes that justify its default, partial or total non-compliance with, or
delay in fulfilling its obligations with THE LESSORS.

TWENTIETH:  THE LESSORS may only assign this contract to any company related
to the CREDICORP group, a situation that the CLIENT declares to know and
accept.

TWENTY FIRST:  The CLIENT hereby authorizes THE LESSORS to publicize the
signing of this financial leasing agreement, under the terms agreed to by
mutual consent.

TWENTY SECOND:  The parties hereby expressly agree that any conflict or
controversy that may arise between them as a consequence of the
interpretation or execution of this contract, including those related to its
nullity or voidance, shall be resolved by means of an arbitration of law, in
charge of an Arbitration Court made up of three members that must necessarily
be

       The expenses originated by the arbitration process shall be borne by
the party who fails to win.

       In the case that any of the parties may decide to file before the

first establish a Bank Letter of Guaranty in favor of the opposing party,
granted by a first order Bank with headquarters in Lima, equivalent to
US$50,000.00 (FIFTY THOUSAND US DOLLARS), executable in case that the final
decision on the appeal declares it groundless.  Said bank letter of credit
must be in effect during the time that the process lasts.

BOEING CAPITAL CORPORATION

                                          Loan and Security Agreement No. 3548-2

                             UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTY

For value received and in order to induce Boeing Capital Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("Lender"), to enter into, accept or acquire a certain Loan and
Security Agreement dated as June 11, 1999 (hereinafter with all present and
future, amendments, addenda and riders thereto referred to as the "Loan") with
The First Security Bank, N.A., not in its individual capacity but as Trustee
under that certain Bell 412 Peru Trust No. 1, a Utah trust ("Debtor"), and/or to
advance monies or extend or continue to extend credit to or for the benefit of
Debtor, under the Loan or otherwise, the undersigned hereby absolutely,
irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Lender (i) the prompt and full
payment when due, by acceleration or otherwise, of all sums now or at any time
hereafter due from Debtor to Lender, under the Loan or otherwise and agrees to
pay any and all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses)
incurred by Lender in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty, and (ii) the
prompt, full and faithful performance and discharge by Debtor of each and every
obligation and warranty of Debtor set forth in the Loan (collectively "Debtor's
Obligations").

This Guaranty is absolute, unconditional and continuing and shall remain in
effect until all of Debtor's Obligations have been paid, performed and
discharged regardless of the enforceability of Debtor's Obligations and
regardless of any law, regulation or decree now or hereafter in effect which
might in any manner affect Debtor's Obligations. The death or bankruptcy of the
undersigned or of Debtor shall not terminate this Guaranty or any obligations
hereunder. The liability of the undersigned hereunder shall in no event be
affected or impaired by any renewals, amendments, modifications or supplements
of or to the Loan, or by any extensions, forebearances, compromises or releases
of any of Debtor's Obligations, any of Lender's rights under the Loan or any
lack of validity or enforceability of Debtor's Obligations or any agreement or
instrument relating thereto or any other circumstance which might otherwise
constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Debtor or the undersigned
and the undersigned hereby consents to and waives notice of any of the
foregoing. The undersigned further expressly waives (i) all diligence in
collection and any failure or delay by Lender in protection or perfection of
Lender's rights under the Loan or in or to any collateral securing any of
Debtor's Obligations, (ii) notice of acceptance by Lender of this Guaranty or of
the Loan, (iii) notice of advancement of any additional funds to or for the
benefit of Debtor, (iv) presentment, demand for payment, protest and notice of
protest, default, non-payment or partial payment by Debtor, (v) all other
notices and formalities to which Debtor and/or the undersigned might be
entitled, by statute or otherwise, (vi) any right of subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration, contribution, indemnity or any other right that would result in
Guarantor being deemed a creditor of Debtor under the United States Bankruptcy
Code or any other law or any right to enforce any remedy which Lender now has or
may hereafter have against Debtor and any benefit of, and any right to
participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Lender, whether any of the
foregoing arise in equity, at law or by contract and (vii) any other action or
any other circumstance whatsoever which might constitute a defense to
enforcement of this Guaranty. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the
Debtor's Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Lender upon
the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Debtor or otherwise, all as
though such payment had not been made.

The undersigned further waives any right of setoff, recoupment or counterclaim
against Lender with respect to any claim or demand the undersigned may at any
time have against Debtor, or against any other person or concern liable for
Debtor's Obligations, and as further security to Lender, any and all debts or
liabilities


Unconditional Guaranty            Page 1 of 2
<PAGE>

now or hereafter owing to the undersigned by Debtor, and/or such other person or
concern, and any lien, security or collateral given to the undersigned in
connection therewith, are hereby subordinated to the claims and liens of, and
assigned to, Lender.

The obligations of the undersigned hereunder are and shall at all times be the
original, direct and primary obligations of the undersigned, as if the
undersigned were the Debtor under the Loan. Lender shall not in any event be
obligated to pursue or exhaust any rights or remedies against Debtor or others,
or resort to any security, prepayments or collateral, as a prerequisite to
enforcing this Guaranty against the undersigned. This Guaranty shall be binding
upon the undersigned and its, his or her respective heirs, personal
representatives, successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of
Lender and its successors and assigns. All of the obligations and agreements of
the undersigned in this Guaranty are joint and several.

If the undersigned is a corporation, each signatory on behalf of such
corporation warrants that he or she has the authority to sign on behalf of such
corporation and by so signing, to bind said corporation hereunder. No
modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Guaranty shall be
effective unless in writing and signed by the undersigned and an officer of
Lender. Guarantor, being a corporation with publicly held debt or equity, shall
furnish to Lender promptly upon their availability, copies of all financial
statements, reports, notices and proxy statements, if any, sent by Guarantor to
its public security holders, and all regular and periodic reports filed by
Guarantor with the principal securities exchange including without limitation
balance sheet, profit and loss statement and statement of cash flows, with said
fiscal year reports audited by a recognized firm of independent certified public
accountants reasonably satisfactory to Lender on which the securities of
Guarantor are listed, if any, or with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
including but not limited to 10-K and 10-Q reports. If any provision of this
Guaranty or the application thereof is hereafter held invalid or unenforceable,
the remainder of this Guaranty shall not be affected thereby, and to this end
the provisions of this Guaranty are declared severable.

Guarantor is not in default under any agreement, contract or judgment to which
Guarantor is a party and any period of cure has expired, in an amount of $5
million or more .

Guarantor has filed all required material tax returns and has paid all material
taxes to the extent they have become due other than those which are being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and as to which appropriate
reserves are being maintained by Guarantor in accordance with GAAP and so long
as such proceedings operate during the pendency thereof to prevent the sale,
forfeiture, or loss of the Collateral, and Guarantor does not have any knowledge
of any actual or proposed deficiency or additional assessment in connection
therewith.

This Guaranty shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of
California and the undersigned hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of
the California State Courts and the United States Courts located in Los Angeles
County.

         Dated this __________ day of June, 1999.

                                 PROMISSORY NOTE


$5,665,140.00                                                       July 6, 1999
                                                          Long Beach, California


         This Note is executed and delivered as of the date set forth above to
Boeing Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Lender"), by First Security
Bank, N.A., not in its individual capacity but solely as Owner Trustee under
Bell 412 Peru Trust No. 1, a Utah trust (the "Debtor"), in consideration of a
loan made pursuant to that certain Loan and Security Agreement ("Agreement")
dated June 11, 1999 between Lender and Debtor.

         Debtor promises to pay to Lender the principal sum of Five Million Six
Hundred Sixty-five Thousand One Hundred Forty dollars ($5,665,140.00) plus
interest on such principal sum from time to time outstanding at the rate of
9.8878% per annum. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year
for the actual number of days the principal is outstanding. Debtor's obligation
to Lender under this Note shall be payable in 120 consecutive monthly
installments each in the amount of $74,496.59 and each payable on the 6th day of
the month commencing August 6, 1999. Debtor agrees that Lender shall apply each
monthly installment payment first to any late payment fees and costs then due,
second to interest accrued and unpaid, and finally to the then outstanding
principal balance. Debtor's payments to Lender shall be credited on the day
Lender receives collected funds and no installment payment shall be considered
paid until Lender has received collected funds. All amounts paid hereunder shall
be paid by federal funds wire transfer or by Automated Clearing House (ACH)
payment format Cash Concentration and Disbursement Plus Addendum (CCD+) for the
account of Lender to a bank to be designated by Lender, together with notice so
as to provide Lender with use of the funds on or before 11 a.m., California
time, on the due date.

         In the event that Debtor fails to pay any installment payment(s) when
due, the principal balance, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall
bear interest at a rate (the "Default Rate") of two percent (2%) per annum
greater than the interest rate stated in the second paragraph hereof, from the
due date until the date of payment in full of such installment payment(s).

         This Note is secured by the security interests Debtor has granted
Lender under the Agreement.

         Borrower may repay the loan at any time after the 36th month for an
amount equal to the sum of (i) the Prepayment Amount shown on Exhibit "A"
hereto, (ii) any break funding costs, and (iii) any other amounts due under the
Loan.


                                       1

<PAGE>

         If an Event of Default occurs under the Agreement or under any other
Loan Document, then Lender shall have the right, without giving Debtor notice or
making a demand, to declare that the entire balance then due under this Note is
immediately payable (the "Accelerated Balance"). The Accelerated Balance shall
be calculated by adding to the principal balance outstanding: (i) interest
(including without limitation any interest at the Default Rate) on such
principal balance and (ii) any other amounts due hereunder.

         Debtor's default under this Note shall constitute a default under the
Agreement as well.

         Debtor's obligations under this Note are absolute and unconditional.
Debtor waives its right to assert any claim, counterclaim, right of offset or
affirmative defense it may have against Lender in any lawsuit Lender brings to
collect this Note, although Debtor may bring such claim in a separate lawsuit
against Lender.

         If Lender decides to waive strict compliance by Debtor of Debtor's
obligations under this Note, the waiver shall apply only to the specific right
or remedy at the time of such waiver, and Debtor shall not be excused from
strict compliance with Debtor's obligations at other or future times, nor may
Debtor rely on any waiver being applicable to prevent Lender from exercising
Lender's rights and remedies at other or future times or as a consequence of
other failures by Debtor to strictly comply with Debtor's obligations under this
Note or the other Loan Documents.

         Lender's rights and remedies under this Note or the other Loan
Documents are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any other rights or remedies
to which Lender may be entitled by operation of law or in equity. Lender may
collect this Note by proceeding against Debtor, any collateral given to secure
this Note or against any guarantor, endorser or other Person liable to Lender
for the obligations evidenced by this Note, and Lender may so proceed after
default, in any order, at any time or simultaneously as Lender decides in its
sole discretion.

         Debtor waives demand for payment, protest, notice of dishonor and other
notices or formalities to which Debtor might be entitled.

         Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, or in any of the
documents evidencing the Obligations or otherwise relating thereto, no such
provision shall require the payment or permit the collection of interest in
excess of the maximum permitted by applicable usury laws. If any such excessive
interest is so provided for, then in such event: (i) the provisions of this
paragraph shall govern and control; (ii) neither the Debtor nor its heirs, legal
representatives, successors or assigns or any other party liable for the payment
thereof shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that
it is in excess of the maximum amount permitted by law; (iii) any such excess
interest that may have been collected shall be, at the option of the holder of
the instrument evidencing the Obligations, either applied as a credit against
the unpaid principal amount thereof or refunded to the


                                       2

<PAGE>

maker thereof; and (iv) the effective rate of interest shall be automatically
reduced to the maximum lawful rate under applicable usury laws as now or
hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction.

         This Note is a negotiable instrument. Lender may sell, assign, transfer
or endorse this Note. If Lender does so, all of Debtor's obligations shall then
run to the Person to whom Lender sells, assigns, transfers or endorses this
Note, or to Lender's successors and assigns provided, however, that no such
assignment shall be binding on Debtor until notice of the same has been given
Debtor. If more than one Person has executed this Note, the obligations of each
Person so signing shall be joint and several. Capitalized terms not defined
herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement.

Loan and Security Agreement                                        Page 4 of 12

<PAGE>

purpose of this Agreement and to establish and protect the rights, interests
and remedies created, or intended to be created, in favor of Lender hereby
authorizing Lender, in such jurisdictions where such action is authorized by
law, to effect any such recordation or filing of financing statements without
Debtor's signature, and to file as valid financing statements in the
applicable financing statement records, photocopies hereof, of the
Supplement, Note and of any other financing statement executed in connection
herewith;

                  (viii)   warrant and defend its good and marketable title to
the Equipment, and Lender's perfected Security Interest in the Collateral,
against all claims and demands whatsoever (hereby agreeing that the Equipment

necessary to prevent any other Person from acquiring any right or interest in
the Collateral without Lender's prior written consent;

dated as of June 11, 1999, between Aero Transporte, S.A. and Doe Run Peru,

                  (xiii)   within 45 days after the end of each calendar
quarter, unless such information shall have been previously provided, furnish

                  (xiv)    maintain, or cause to be maintained, with respect to
the Equipment (A) all risk physical loss insurance for an amount at least equal
to the outstanding Loan balance with respect to the Equipment and (B) public
liability and property damage insurance with respect to the Equipment as set
forth in the Supplement. Such liability insurance shall be on an occurrence
basis rather than a claims made basis and operate with respect to the Lender as
a separate policy, except as to the limits of liability. Such insurance shall be
primary insurance up to and including the stated policy limits and not excess
over other coverage. Such insurance shall (1) with respect to liability
insurance, name Lender as first named insured, (2) with respect to all risk
physical loss insurance, name Lender as loss payee and first named insured, (3)
waive any and all rights of subrogation which the insurers may have or may
acquire against the Lender, and (4) be with companies satisfactory to Lender.
The Lender has the right to carry additional insurance at its own expense,
provided that such additional insurance does not increase the cost to the Debtor
of carrying the required insurance. There shall be no right of contribution with
respect to any insurance maintained by Lender, Debtor or any other person. All
insurance required hereunder shall provide that coverage may not be altered or
canceled by the insurer without thirty (30) days' prior written notice to
Lender. Losses with


Loan and Security Agreement                                        Page 5 of 12

<PAGE>

respect to physical loss in excess of Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000) shall
be adjusted only with and paid to, Lender and its assignee, if any, and so
long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be
made available to Debtor to effect the necessary repairs and rehabilitation
of the Equipment. Such insurance shall not be invalidated, as against Lender,
by any action or inaction of Debtor or any other person and shall insure
Lender regardless of any breach or violation by Debtor or any other person of
any warranties, declarations or conditions contained in the policies
evidencing such insurance or in applications for such insurance. All
insurance required hereunder shall be satisfactory to Lender and shall
contain such other endorsements as may be requested by Lender. Debtor hereby
appoints Lender as Debtor's attorney-in-fact to make claim for, receive
payment of and execute and endorse all documents, checks or drafts for loss
or damages or return premium under any insurance policy issued on the
Equipment; provided however, Lender shall not exercise this power of attorney
unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Debtor's
obligation to keep the Equipment insured as provided herein shall continue
until all Obligations have been paid in full.

                  The insurance policy shall be endorsed to provide that the
Lender will have no liability for premiums or other costs of the insurance
required hereby. The insurance carried by Debtor with respect to the Equipment
shall be no less favorable in scope or amount than that carried by Debtor with
respect to other comparable equipment. Such insurance shall not include any
self-insured retentions. Such insurance shall not include any deductibles except
for any deductibles which are consistent with Debtor's industry standard and are
acceptable to Lender.

                  Debtor shall furnish Lender with insurance certificates
evidencing such insurance prior to the Acceptance Date of the applicable
Supplement and prior to the expiration of each such certificate. Each
certificate of insurance shall be attached to a letter from an insurance broker
acceptable to Lender confirming that the underlying insurance policy summarized
by the certificate of insurance complies with the requirements of this Section.
At Lender's request, Debtor shall provide to Lender a copy of the entire
insurance policy covering the Equipment.

         (b)      It will not without the prior written consent of Lender:

                  (i)      except as contemplated in the Management Agreement,
the Lease and the Services Agreement, sell, convey, transfer, exchange, lease or
otherwise relinquish possession or dispose of any of the Collateral or attempt
or offer to do any of the foregoing without Lender's prior written consent which
will not be unreasonably withheld;

                  (ii)     create, assume or suffer to exist any lien, mortgage,
security interest, financing statement or other encumbrance of any kind
whatsoever ("Lien") upon the Collateral except for the Security Interest created
hereby;

                  (iii)    TRANSFER, LEASE, ASSIGN OR PLEDGE THE EQUIPMENT OR
ANY PART THEREOF OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN, EXCEPT IN THE NORMAL COURSE OF
BUSINESS WITHOUT LENDER'S PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT, WHICH WILL NOT BE UNREASONABLY
WITHHELD;

                  (iv)     change the form of organization of its business;

                  (v)      without thirty (30) days' prior written notice to

Loan and Security Agreement                                        Page 6 of 12

<PAGE>

                  (vi)     move or change the principal base of any of the
Equipment from the location specified on the Supplement relating thereto without
the prior written consent of Lender which will not be unreasonably withheld; or

                  (vii)    make or authorize any improvement, change, addition
or alteration to the Equipment which would materially and adversely impair its
originally intended function or use or its value. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Equipment shall be maintained in compliance with all service bulletins
issued or supplied by any manufacturer of any Item, all Airworthiness Directives
and Regulation revisions applicable to the Equipment issued or supplied by the
United States Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration
("FAA"), and be sufficient to enable the airworthiness certification of each
Item to be maintained in good standing at all times.

         (c)      It will cause to be obtained as promptly as possible but no
later than August 31, 1999 or such later date as provided by applicable law in
the case of actions of governmental agencies, or such later date as the Lender
may agree, all actions and proceedings required to be taken by the Lease and by
applicable Peruvian law to lawfully operate the Equipment in Peru, including
without limitation, the following:

operation of the Equipment to be issued by the United States FAA.

         In the event Lender consents to any of the foregoing acts, Debtor
agrees that Lender may charge Debtor a reasonable documentation and
administration fee. Consent to any of the foregoing acts shall not be deemed to
be consent to any subsequent similar act.

SECTION 6. EVENT OF LOSS.

         "Event of Total Loss" with respect to the Equipment means (i) the
actual or constructive loss or loss of use thereof, due to theft, destruction,
damage beyond repair or to an extent which makes repair uneconomical, or (ii)
the condemnation, confiscation or seizure thereof, or requisition of title
thereto, or use thereof, by any Person. "Person" means an individual,
partnership, corporation, trust, unincorporated association, joint venture,
limited liability company, governmental authority or other entity of whatever

actual or constructive loss or loss of use thereof, due to theft, destruction,
damage beyond repair or to an extent which does NOT make repair uneconomical; or
(ii) the condemnation, confiscation or seizure thereof or requisition of title
thereto, which does not involve a loss of the equipment or the loss of use
thereof.

         Should any item of Equipment suffer an Event of Total Loss, Debtor
shall make a payment as described herein on the corresponding Note within 30
days thereafter. The amount to be paid shall be (i) the unpaid principal amount
of such Note and (ii) all other amounts then due and owing hereunder and under
the Note, but reduced by the total insurance proceeds paid to and retained by

demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below
of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon Debtor or any other
Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby
expressly waived), may forthwith do any one or more of the following: collect,
receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral or any part thereof, and
sell, lease, assign, give an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose
of and deliver, the Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in
one or more parcels at public or private sale(s) at such place(s) and at such
price(s) as it may reasonably deem appropriate, for cash or on credit or for
future delivery without the assumption of any credit risk. Lender shall have the
right upon any such public sale(s), and, to the extent permitted by law, upon
any such private sale(s), to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so
sold, free of any right or equity of redemption of Debtor, which right or equity
is hereby expressly released. Debtor further agrees, at Lender's request, to
assemble (at Debtor's expense) the Collateral and make it available to Lender at
such place(s) which Lender shall select, whether in Peru or the continental
United States. Lender shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection,
recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale (after deducting all
reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to
the care, safekeeping or otherwise of any or all of the Collateral or in any way
relating to the rights of Lender hereunder, including reasonable attorneys' fees
and legal expenses) to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in
such order as Lender may elect. Debtor agrees that Lender need not give more
than 10 days' notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time
after which a private sale may take place and that such notice is reasonable
notification of such matters. Debtor shall be liable for any deficiency if the
proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay
all amounts to which Lender is entitled. Debtor agrees to pay all costs of
Lender, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred with respect to
collection of any of the Obligations and enforcement of any of Lender's rights
hereunder. To the extent permitted by law, Debtor hereby waives presentment,
demand, protest or any notice (except as expressly provided in this Section 7)
of any kind in connection with this Agreement or any Collateral.

SECTION 8. MISCELLANEOUS.

         (a)      No delay or omission in exercising any right, power or remedy
accruing to Lender upon any breach or default by Debtor under this Agreement
shall impair any such right, power or remedy; nor shall any such delay or
omission be construed as a waiver of any breach or default, or of any similar
breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of a single breach
or default be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default; nor shall
consent by Lender to any act of Debtor be deemed to be consent to any subsequent
similar act.

         (b)      All notices, requests and demands to or upon any party hereto
shall be deemed duly given or made when sent if given by telecopier, when
delivered if given by personal delivery or overnight commercial carrier, on the
third calendar day after deposit in the United States mail, certified mail,
return receipt requested, addressed to such party at its address set forth in
the first paragraph of this Agreement or such other address or telecopier number
as may be hereafter designated in writing by such party to the

Financial Officer.

         (c)      Debtor agrees, whether or not the contemplated transactions
are consummated:

                  (i)      to pay or reimburse Lender for (A) all fees, taxes
and expenses of whatever nature incurred in connection with the creation,
preservation and protection of Lender's Security Interest in the Collateral,
including, without limitation, all filing and lien search fees, payment or
discharge of any taxes or Liens upon, or in respect to, the Collateral, and all
other fees and expenses in connection with protecting or maintaining the
Collateral or in connection with defending or prosecuting any actions, suits or
proceedings arising out of, or related to, the Collateral, and (B) all other
costs or expenses Debtor has agreed to pay, and (C) all costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses) of Lender in
connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;
and

                  (ii)     to defend at its own cost and to indemnify and hold
harmless Lender, its successors and assigns, and their respective agents and
employees, from and against any and all losses, claims, intellectual property,
infringements, costs, expenses (including attorneys' fees), damages and
liabilities (including those for strict liability in tort), however caused,
resulting directly or indirectly in any manner from the issuance of Debtor's
purchase order, assignment of Debtor's purchase order or agreement to purchase,
Debtor's 's failure, delay or refusal to accept delivery of any Equipment, the
ownership, purchase, maintenance, possession, return or disposition of the
Equipment, or directly or indirectly from or pertaining to the use, condition,
design (including without limitation latent or other defects whether or not
discoverable) or operation of the Equipment, ordinary wear and tear excepted, or
the performance of this Agreement (including without limitation such losses,
claims, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities arising from the death or
injury to agents or employees of Debtor or Lender or any third person, or damage
to the property of Debtor or Lender, their agents or employees, or any third
person), (the foregoing being referred to as the "Indemnified Liabilities"),
provided, that Debtor shall have no obligation hereunder with respect to
Indemnified Liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of Lender. If Debtor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements
contained in this Agreement and Lender shall itself perform, comply or cause
performance or compliance, the expenses of Lender so incurred, together with
interest thereon at the Default Rate, shall be payable by Debtor to Lender on
demand and until such payment is made shall constitute Obligations hereunder.
The agreements and indemnities contained in this paragraph shall survive
termination of this Agreement and payment of the Note.

         (d)      This Agreement, together with the Note, Supplement and addenda
or amendments hereto, contains the complete, final and exclusive statement of
the terms of the agreement between Lender and Debtor related to the contemplated
transactions, and neither this Agreement, nor any terms hereof, may be changed,
waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against which enforcement of a change, waiver, discharge or
termination is sought.

         (e)      This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit
of, Debtor and Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that
Debtor may not assign or transfer its rights hereunder or any interest herein
without the prior written consent of Lender.

         (f)      Headings of sections and paragraphs are for convenience only,
are not part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to affect the meaning or
construction of any of the provisions hereof. Any provision of this Agreement
which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the


Loan and Security Agreement                                       Page 10 of 12

<PAGE>

remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability
shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other
jurisdiction.

         (g)      Debtor hereby authorizes Lender to correct patent errors and
to fill in such blanks as serial numbers and dates herein and in the Note,
Supplement and in any document executed in connection herewith.

         (h)      This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an
original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute the same
instrument.

         (i)      To the extent permitted by applicable law, Debtor hereby
waives any provision of law which renders any provision of this Agreement
prohibited or unenforceable in any respect. Any action by Debtor against Lender
for any default by Lender under this Agreement shall be barred unless commenced
within one (1) year after any such default occurs.

         (j)      Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, or in
any of the documents evidencing the Obligations or otherwise relating thereto,
no such provision shall require the payment or permit the collection of interest
in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable usury laws. If any such
excessive interest is so provided for, then in such event: (i) the provisions of
this paragraph shall govern and control; (ii) neither the Debtor nor its heirs,
legal representatives, successors or assigns or any other party liable for the
payment thereof shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the
extent that it is in excess of the maximum amount permitted by law; (iii) any
such excess interest that may have been collected shall be, at the option of the
holder of the instrument evidencing the Obligations, either applied as a credit
against the unpaid principal amount thereof or refunded to the maker thereof;
and (iv) the effective rate of interest shall be automatically reduced to the
maximum lawful rate under applicable usury laws as now or hereafter construed by
the courts having jurisdiction.

         (k)      The relationship between Debtor and Lender is solely of debtor
and creditor, and Lender has no fiduciary or other special relationship with
Debtor, and no term or provision of any of the Loan documents evidencing the
Obligations shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between the
parties to be other than that of debtor and creditor.

         (l)      THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES AND SUPPLEMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK. DEBTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT ANY LEGAL
ACTION RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE INSTITUTED IN THE COURTS OF THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA, IN THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES OR THE UNITED STATES COURTS
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA, AS LENDER MAY ELECT, AND BY EXECUTION
AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, DEBTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS AND SUBMITS
TO, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF
ANY SUCH COURT, AND TO ALL PROCEEDINGS IN SUCH COURTS. DEBTOR AND LENDER
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT JURY TRIALS OFTEN ENTAIL ADDITIONAL EXPENSES AND DELAYS NOT
OCCASIONED BY NONJURY TRIALS. DEBTOR AND LENDER AGREE AND STIPULATE THAT A FAIR
TRIAL MAY BE HAD BEFORE A STATE OR FEDERAL JUDGE BY MEANS OF A BENCH TRIAL
WITHOUT A JURY. IN VIEW OF THE FOREGOING, AND AS A SPECIFICALLY NEGOTIATED
PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, DEBTOR AND LENDER HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT
TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER
THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES AND SUPPLEMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO,
WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR

HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND
DEBTOR AND LENDER HEREBY AGREE AND CONSENT THAT DEBTOR OR LENDER MAY FILE AN

TRIAL BY JURY.

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to
be duly executed and delivered by their duly authorized officers.
