                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)


(1)    SUMMARY OF  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

                  UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

       These interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
       The Doe Run Resources Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the
       Company). In the opinion of management, the interim consolidated
       financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal
       recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the consolidated
       financial position as of April 30, 2000 and results of operations for the
       three and six month periods ended April 30, 2000 and 1999. Interim
       periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the
       year.

                  RECLASSIFICATIONS

       Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to
       current presentation.

(2)    CHANGE IN TAXABLE STATUS

       On January 15, 1999, the Company's parent, The Renco Group, Inc. (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 six months
       ended April 30, 1999.

(3)    INVENTORIES

       Inventories consist of the following:

</TABLE>

       Materials, supplies and repair parts are stated net of reserves for
       obsolescence of approximately $4,300 at April 30, 2000 and October 31,
       1999.

(4)    SEGMENT INFORMATION

       The Company's operating segments are separately managed business units
       that are distinguished by products, location and production processes.
       The primary lead segment includes integrated mining, milling and smelting
       operations located in Missouri. The secondary lead segment, also located
       in Missouri, recycles lead-bearing feed materials, primarily spent
       batteries. The fabricated products segment produces value-added lead
       products. The Peruvian operations produce an extensive product mix of
       non-ferrous and precious metals through a subsidiary, Doe Run Peru S.R.L.
       (Doe Run Peru).

(5)    REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

       Effective March 30, 2000 the Company's primary lender in Peru approved an
       increase in the maximum advance under the Doe Run Peru Revolving Credit
       Facility from $40.0 million to $50.0 million, pending final
       documentation.

(6)    HEDGING

       The fair market value of the Company's hedging positions at April 30,
       2000 is the difference between quoted prices at the balance sheet date
       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 balance sheet date. 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.

(7)    ENVIRONMENTAL AND LITIGATION MATTERS

       ENVIRONMENTAL

       The Company has recorded a liability of approximately $32,300 as of April
       30, 2000, which represents management's best estimate 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 Environmental Protection Agency (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. The Company expects to sign a
       voluntary Administrative Order of Consent (AOC) to study and address
       issues related to the slag pile, the community adjacent to the plant, and
       lead releases from the plant. At this time, it is not possible to
       determine the outcome of the study or what potential remediation actions,
       if any, may be required.

       The Company is working with regulators to develop a new three-year plan
       to bring the Herculaneum smelter in compliance with the ambient air
       quality standard for lead promulgated under the federal Clean Air Act.
       The plan must be completed by September 2000, after which the Company
       will implement the control measures identified in the plan. The Company
       expects to make capital expenditures for various control measures
       totaling approximately $1,100 in fiscal 2000 and anticipates additional
       future cash requirements of approximately $8,000 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.

       The Company has received notice that it is a potentially responsible
       party (PRP) subject to liability under CERCLA at the following sites: six
       sites in St. Francois County, Missouri, including the Big River Mine
       Tailings site, the Bonne Terre site, the Federal site, the National site,
       the Rivermines site and the Leadwood 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 two additional sites in St. Francois
       County for which the EPA has indicated it will issue notice. These sites
       involve historical operations of predecessors of the Company. CERCLA
       provides for strict and, in certain circumstances, joint and several
       liability for response costs and natural resource damages. The Company
       has a reserve as of April 30, 2000 of approximately $12,300 for these
       sites, including the two 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


                                       9
<PAGE>

       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 AOC in 1994 with the EPA to remediate the
       Big River Mine Tailings site; the remediation work required by the AOC
       is expected to be completed in August, 2000, followed by subsequent
       monitoring and revegetation. The Company has also signed AOCs to perform
       an Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis (EE/CA) on the Bonne Terre,
       National, Rivermines, and Leadwood sites. 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 RI/FS is being conducted by a third party 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 and the joint
       venture partner have 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. The Company has also been advised that remediation may be
       required at a related small satellite mine site. The Company is
       conducting an investigation as to whether the joint venture operated at
       the satellite site. At this time, based on this preliminary meeting and
       an inspection of the sites, 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 Buick recycling facility is subject to corrective action
       requirements under RCRA as a result of a storage permit for certain
       wastes issued in 1989. This will involve future remediation of solid
       waste management units at the site, although the plan for corrective
       action has not yet been finalized. The Company has reserves as of April
       30, 2000 of approximately $1,800 for future corrective action and $2,600
       for closure costs for the permitted storage area. While management
       believes these reserves are adequate, regulators could require that
       additional measures be included in the plan, which could change the
       estimate of the costs for corrective action.

       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 approximately $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. Certain
       closure requirements have already been performed. The Company accrues for
       the cost of ultimate closure at a rate of approximately $500 per year.
       The Company's mine closure reserves were approximately $7,400 as of April
       30, 2000.

              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) for its La
       Oroya smelter 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 that Doe
       Run Peru must undertake in order to achieve compliance with the maximum
       applicable limits prior to expiration of the PAMA (ten years from the
       date of the PAMA for smelters and five years for any other type of mining
       or


                                       10

       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 Doe Run
       Peru must comply. After expiration of the PAMA, Doe Run Peru must comply
       with all applicable standards and requirements in effect at that time, in
       the case of the La Oroya smelter, after December 31, 2006.

       Doe Run Peru has committed under its PAMA to implement the following
projects through December 31, 2006:

          *   New sulfuric acid plants
          *   Elimination of fugitive gases from the coke plant
          *   Use of oxygenated gases in the anodic residue plant
          *   Water treatment plant for the copper refinery
          *   Recirculation system for cooling waters at the smelter
          *   Management and disposal of acidic solutions at the silver refinery
          *   Industrial waste water treatment plant for the smelter and
              refinery
          *   Containment dam for the lead muds near the zileret plant
          *   Granulation process water at the lead smelter
          *   Anode washing system at the zinc refinery
          *   Management and disposal of lead and copper slag wastes
          *   Domestic waste water treatment and domestic waste disposal

       Annual capital spending on a calendar year basis approved in the PAMA is
as follows:

</TABLE>

       The current estimate for the total to be expended on environmental
       projects under the PAMA and on additional related process changes for Doe
       Run Peru is approximately $189,950 for this period. Fiscal 2000 spending
       through April 30, 2000 was approximately $4,700.

       Doe Run Peru's Cobriza mine has a separate PAMA to be completed by 2002.
       The total cost of capital projects to manage tailings, sewage and garbage
       is approximately $9,600, to be expended over the next three fiscal years,
       with estimated spending of approximately $6,000 in fiscal 2000, with
       approximately $2,700 spent through April 30, 2000.

       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 described above have been designed to achieve
       compliance with such requirements prior to the expiration of the
       respective PAMA periods. 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


                                       11
<PAGE>

       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 certain environmental liabilities arising
       out of its prior operations. The Peruvian government, through the
       enactment of the Supreme Decree No. 042-97-PCM, has guaranteed the
       indemnity. 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 La Oroya smelter existing zinc ferrite disposal
       site until October 2000, after which it can take ownership of the site or
       create a new site. The Company has elected to take ownership of the site,
       and has notified Centromin and the Ministry of Energy and Mines of its
       intentions. The Company will be responsible for the closure costs
       relating to the site. The Company has accrued $7,200 for the closure
       costs and, although a plan for closure of the site has not been
       finalized, management feels that this reserve is adequate.

          CONSOLIDATED

       The Company believes its reserves for domestic and foreign environmental
       and reclamation matters are adequate, based on the information currently
       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 seven 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 case is similarly 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 five cases are personal injury
       actions by eighteen 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


                                       12
<PAGE>

       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.

       The Company, with several other defendants, has been named in two cases
       in Maryland. The first case is seeking certification as a class the
       owners of all housing in the State of Maryland built prior to 1978 that
       have lead paint on the premises. The complaint alleges that all
       defendants were members of Lead Industries Association (LIA), a trade
       association, and that the defendants improperly promoted lead paint. The
       suit seeks damages for paint removal for all such housing in the State of
       Maryland. The other suit seeks damages, alleging personal injuries to
       children as a result of lead poisoning from lead paint in the family
       residence. Both suits seek punitive damages. Discovery has just begun,
       and 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 on the results of operations, financial condition and
       liquidity of the Company.

       In February, 2000 the Company and several other parties were named
       defendants in a suit brought by the City of St. Louis, Missouri for costs
       allegedly incurred and to be incurred by the plaintiff for the care of
       lead-poisoned persons, education programs for children injured by
       exposure to lead and the abatement of lead hazards purportedly created by
       the defendants in the City of St. Louis. The complaint alleges that the
       defendants made material misrepresentations and intentional omissions of
       material facts to the City and/or its residents regarding the nature of
       lead and lead products, such as paint. The suit also seeks punitive
       damages. Discovery has yet to be initiated, 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 on the results of
       operations, financial condition and liquidity of the Company.


(8)    GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES

       The Guarantor Subsidiaries (Fabricated Products, Inc. (FPI) and DR Land
       Holdings, LLC (the Domestic Guarantors); Doe Run Cayman Ltd. (Doe Run
       Cayman) and certain subsidiaries, including Doe Run Mining S.R.L. and its
       subsidiaries Doe Run Development S.A.C. and Doe Run Peru) have jointly
       and severally, fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed the
       public debt of the Company. Separate financial statements and other
       disclosures concerning certain Guarantor Subsidiaries and disclosures
       concerning non-Guarantor Subsidiaries have not been presented because
       management has determined that such information is not material to
       investors. Intercompany transactions eliminated in consolidation consist
       of various service and agency fees between The Doe Run Resources
       Corporation and Doe Run Mining S.R.L, The Doe Run Resources Corporation
       and Doe Run Peru, and Doe Run Mining S.R.L and Doe Run Peru; and sales of
       metal to The Doe Run Resources Corporation by Doe Run Peru and to FPI by
       The Doe Run Resources Corporation.

          (1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

                          UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

               In the opinion of management, the interim condensed consolidated
               financial statements of Doe Run Peru S.R.L. (Doe Run Peru)
               contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals,
               necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated financial
               position as of April 30, 2000 and results of operations for the
               three and six month periods ended April 30, 2000 and 1999.
               Interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be
               expected for the year.

                          MERGER OF DOE RUN PERU AND EMPRESA MINERA COBRIZA S.A.

               Effective March 1, 1999, Doe Run Mining merged Doe Run Peru and
               the Empresa Minera Cobriza S.A. (Cobriza), an entity previously
               controlled by Doe Run Mining since the acquisition of
               substantially all of Cobriza's shares on August 31, 1998. The
               financial statements of the Company for the three and six months
               ended April 30, 1999 have been restated to reflect the results of
               operations and cash flows of Cobriza to reflect the common
               control of Doe Run Peru and Cobriza before the merger.

                          RECLASSIFICATIONS

               Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to
               conform to current presentation.

         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.


               CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL POSITION

                         During the six months ended April 30, 2000 inventories
               increased by $19.6 million. In the U.S., inventories increased by
               $6.7 million primarily due to normal cyclical increases in
               finished goods inventories and to increased production at the
               Buick secondary smelter. In Peru, inventories rose $12.9 million
               primarily due to a $7.7 million increase in raw material
               inventories intended to build a stock of blister copper in
               anticipation of major maintenance on the reverberatory furnace in
               the copper circuit, scheduled for September of 2000. Lead
               concentrates and, in particular, silver contained in
               concentrates, were also higher to support increased production of
               lead and silver metal. Finished goods inventories in Peru rose
               $2.4 million as increased production exceeded sales volume.
               Management anticipates that inventories will continue to increase
               during the third quarter but will be reduced significantly during
               the fourth quarter so that both finished goods and raw material
               inventories are near normal levels by year end.

                          During the six months ended April 30, 2000, total debt
               increased by $27.3 million. This increase, mainly in revolving
               loans and short-term borrowings, is primarily due to the
               inventory increase discussed above and an increase of $7.3
               million in cash outstanding at the end of the period.


               RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                        The Company reported a net loss of $9.4 million for the
               three months ended April 30, 2000 (the 2000 quarter) compared to
               net income of $0.6 million for the three months ended April 30,
               1999 (the 1999 quarter). The Company's U.S. operations reported a
               net loss of $11.0 million (excluding intercompany fee revenue of
               $4.6 million) for the 2000 quarter, compared to a net loss of
               $6.4 million (excluding intercompany fee revenue of $4.2 million)
               in the 1999 quarter, reflecting the effects of lower realizes
               prices for lead metal and increased production costs. Peruvian
               operations generated net income of $1.5 million for the 2000
               quarter (excluding intercompany fees and eliminations of $4.7
               million) compared to net income of $6.9 million (excluding
               intercompany fees and eliminations of $4.5 million) in the 1999
               quarter. The decrease in Peruvian net income was due primarily to
               increased production costs and lower treatment charges for copper
               and lead concentrates, partially offset by increased production
               and sales volumes.

                        The Company reported a net loss of $11.7 million for the
               six months ended April 30, 2000 (the 2000 period) compared to a
               net loss of $13.6 million for the six months ended April 30, 1999
               (the 1999 period). The Company's U.S. operations reported a net
               loss of $18.9 (excluding intercompany fee revenue of $9.4
               million) million for the 2000 period compared to a net loss of
               $24.6 million (excluding intercompany fee revenue of $8.3
               million) for the 1999 period. This improvement was primarily due
               to the absence, in the 2000 period, of the write-off of deferred
               tax balances of $6.2 million associated with a change in the
               Company's tax status to a qualified subchapter S subsidiary in
               the 1999 period. See "Item 1. Financial Statements - Note 2 to
               the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements" for a discussion
               of the change in tax status. In addition, lower depreciation
               expense and improved realized prices for zinc and copper
               concentrates contributed to the improvement. These factors were
               partially offset by lower

realized prices for lead metal and increased production costs. Peruvian
operations generated net income of $7.3 million for the 2000 period
(excluding intercompany fees and eliminations of $9.4 million) compared to
net income of $11.0 million (excluding intercompany fees and eliminations of
$8.4 million) for the 1999 period. The decrease in Peruvian net income was
primarily due to the factors discussed above.

         The Company's results for the three months and the six months ended
April 30, 2000 reflect declines in the market price of lead metal and
increases in the price of copper and zinc from the prior year. The following

       Over the past two years the LME lead price has declined as new mines
have been developed in Australia and Ireland, and as China has increased its
lead metal production and exports. Current prices are near historical lows.
However, in the U.S., demand for the Company's lead products has remained
strong. Industry sources continue to forecast significant growth in
stationary and industrial battery consumption. Because of excellent product
quality, the Company's U.S. operations have a major share of this growth
market.

       Management believes that lead prices will recover from the current low
level as several large lead producing mines will be depleted. This should
bring about a deficit in supply versus demand. Recent industry developments
include smelter closures in China, which should result in reduced exports,
mine production cutbacks in the U.S. and Australia and a reduction of LME
inventories. Over the past ten years, the average LME price of lead has been
approximately $540/short ton. Management believes that lead prices, over the
long term, will reflect the historical industry average.

          As a result of the current low lead price the Company's U.S.
operations had operating losses in the quarter and the six months ended April
30, 2000. The Company has made changes to its operations, described below,
which it expects will reduce certain costs, and achieve certain operating
efficiencies, in an effort to mitigate the impact of low metal prices. The
Company also expects to benefit from increased sales volume during the
remainder of fiscal 2000. However, prices sustained at these levels or
decreasing further are likely to result in the continuation of operating
losses for the Company's U.S. operations.

         The Company continues to evaluate mine production plans in light of
persistent low lead metal prices. Selective mining of higher grade ore caused
a reduction in the total ore mined, which was down 18% in the 2000 quarter
and 16% in the 2000 period, compared to the prior year. As a result,
production of lead metal in concentrates decreased by approximately 13% in
both the 2000 quarter and the 2000 period, compared to the prior year.

           On April 19, 2000 the Company announced further changes intended
to increase grade and lower unit production costs. These changes, which will
be implemented beginning in the third quarter, involve a restructuring of the
mine/mill operations resulting in a workforce reduction of approximately 12%
at the U.S. mining operations. Two of the Company's six mills will be idled
and placed on care and maintenance and three of the Company's eight mines
will be effectively idled, producing only small quantities of selected high
grade ore. Under this new operating mode, annualized tons of ore mined will
be reduced approximately 20% from the fiscal 1999 levels, but the lead and
zinc grades will improve by approximately 12% and 21% respectively.
Annualized production of lead metal contained in concentrates will be reduced
approximately 10% from the 1999 level. Concentrates purchased in the open
market are expected to replace the Company's production and the smelters will
continue to operate at capacity. These concentrates have been secured for
fiscal 2000. In addition to production changes, management continues to
pursue cost reduction initiatives, including retaining consultants to perform
an in-depth cost analysis at the mining/milling operations. The benefits of
these changes should result in lower unit production cost beginning in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2000.

         Primary smelter production for the 2000 quarter was 7% less than the
1999 quarter. For the 2000 period, total primary production was approximately
the same as the 1999 period. Production at the Company's Herculaneum primary
smelter for the 2000 quarter was 10% less than the 1999 quarter due to
metallurgical and other furnace problems that affected the smelter throughout
the quarter. On March 14, 2000, one of Herculaneum's blast furnaces was taken
offline for major repairs, which were completed in early May. Production
returned to normal levels in the second half of May. Despite shortfall in the
second quarter, Herculaneum's production for the 2000 period was only 1% less
than the 1999 period. Management expects that Herculaneum can achieve the
planned production level by year-end. Production at the Company's Glover
primary smelter for the 2000 quarter was about 1% less than the 1999 quarter
due to the structural failure of a storage hopper that caused furnace and
sinter plant downtime. Glover's production for the 2000 period was 1% better
than the 1999 period.

<PAGE>

         Secondary smelter production exceeded the prior year by 33% for the
three months and 27% for the six months ended April 30, 2000. These increases
are primarily the result of installation of a new burner, with an improved
design, on the smelter's reverberatory furnace during the fourth quarter of
1999 and modifications that were made to the lead blast furnace during the
first quarter of 2000. These changes combined increased total secondary
smelter capacity by approximately 27%.

        In Peru, the La Oroya metallurgical complex increased the capacities
of its lead and zinc refineries by approximately five percent each during the
third quarter of 1999. In addition, the Company continues to replace
equipment and make process improvements throughout the plant. The impacts of
these changes are reflected in La Oroya's production performance. In the 2000
quarter, production of lead, zinc, silver and gold all exceeded the 1999
quarter and copper production was about the same as the prior year. For the
2000 period, production of all the main metals was better than the 1999
period. Lead and silver production were up more than 10% and gold bullion
production improved by more than 50%, compared to the prior year. The
increases in silver and gold production were primarily the result of
acquiring concentrate feed with higher contents of these metals.

         (b) Net realized prices for metals include the effects of changes in:

         Results of operations for the three months and the six months ended
April 30, 2000 and 1999 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 2000 quarter were $197.6 million compared to $191.7
million in the 1999 quarter. An increase of $10.0 million is attributable to
Peruvian operations. U.S. net sales were $4.1 million, or 5%, lower in the
2000 quarter, compared to the 1999 quarter, primarily due to lower realized
prices for, and lower volume of, lead metal sales. Lead metal net sales
decreased from $58.7 million in the 1999 quarter to $52.8 million in the 2000
quarter. Of this decrease, $2.1 million is attributable to a 4% reduction in
lead metal sales volume. Management anticipates selling this lead at higher
prices and higher premiums in the fourth quarter. Lower realized prices for
lead metal accounted for a decrease of $3.8 million in lead metal net sales.
Despite a 14% decrease in the LME average lead price, the net realized price
for lead metal was only 7% lower in the 2000 quarter, compared to the 1999
quarter. The Company was able to maintain premiums over the LME price at near
historical highs through its marketing efforts and its focus on sales of
alloy and specialty lead products, which command higher premiums. The
decrease in lead metal sales was partially offset by an increase of
approximately $1.1 million in sales by Seafab Metals Company (Seafab), a
division of FPI, and by a 10% increase in the volume of toll lead. The
increase at Seafab was the result of improved production volume and increased
sales of lead-silver anodes, which is a higher value product.

           Net sales for the 2000 period were $405.0 million compared to
$373.4 million for the 1999 period. An increase of $29.0 million is
attributable to Peruvian operations. U.S. net sales for the 2000 period were
$2.6 million more than the 1999 period due primarily to increased realized
prices for zinc concentrates and higher toll lead volumes, partially offset
by lower lead metal prices. The average LME price for lead metal declined 9%
in the 2000 period, compared to the 1999 period. However, as a result of
improved premiums, the Company's net realized price was only 2% lower than
the prior year reducing net sales by $1.8 million. Zinc and copper
concentrate sales were $2.9 million higher in the 2000 period, compared to
the 1999 period, primarily due to increases in the LME price for these
metals. The production improvements at the Buick secondary smelter, discussed
above, coupled with increased demand generated a 14% increase in toll lead
volume, which contributed $1.4 million to the net sales increase. Other sales
were slightly lower as increased sales at Seafab were more than offset by
lower cable stripping fees and sales of other by-products.

           COST OF SALES for the 2000 quarter was $175.4 million compared to
$160.1 million for the 1999 quarter. An increase of $14.0 million is
attributable to Peruvian operations. U.S. cost of sales for the 2000 quarter
was $1.2 million more than the 1999 quarter. This increase is primarily
attributable to a 6% increase in the per unit production cost of lead metal.
Several factors contributed to the increase in production cost per ton,
including: 1) the impact of reduced mine production volume, 2) the impact of
lower primary smelter production volume, 3) repair costs associated with the
primary smelter production problems discussed previously, and 4) increased
costs related to production of lead alloy products. These factors were
somewhat mitigated by the impact of increased secondary smelter production
volume. The increase in lead metal unit production cost was partially offset
by sales volume changes, primarily reduced volume of lead metal sales.

           Cost of sales for the 2000 period was $356.5 million compared to
$320.3 million for the 1999 period. Of this increase, $30.6 million is
attributable to Peruvian operations. U.S. cost of sales for the 2000 period
increased by $5.5 million compared to the 1999 period. For the reasons
discussed above, the unit production cost of lead metal increased by 5%,
compared to the prior year, accounting for $5.0 million of the cost of sales
increase. The increased volume at Seafab contributed $1.6 million to the cost
of sales increase. These increases were partially offset by lower processing
costs for toll metal.

         DEPLETION, DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION for the 2000 quarter
decreased by $0.9 million compared to the 1999 quarter. For the 2000 period,
depletion, depreciation and amortization decreased


                                       32
<PAGE>

by $1.5 million compared to the 1999 period. Increases of $0.3 million for
the 2000 quarter and $0.6 million for the 2000 period are attributable to
Peruvian operations. The decreases in depletion, depreciation, and
amortization for U.S. operations of $1.2 million for the 2000 quarter and
$2.1 million for the 2000 period were primarily attributable to a significant
number of assets with five-year lives becoming fully depreciated in March of
1999 and to a reduction in depletion expense associated with lower mine
production rates and the shifting of production to areas with lower depletion
rates.

         EXPLORATION expense for the 2000 quarter was approximately the same
as the 1999 quarter. For the 2000 period, exploration expense decreased $0.3
million compared to the 1999 period primarily due to the completion of
underground test work on a Missouri property, which was in process during the
1999 period. This reduction was partially offset by increased activity
related to a feasibility study on a South African property.

        INCOME FROM OPERATIONS for the 2000 quarter was $4.4 million compared
to $13.4 million for the 1999 quarter. For the 2000 period, operating income
was $13.5 million compared to $17.1 million for the 1999 period. Decreases of
$4.3 million for the quarter and $2.1 million for the six months are
attributable to Peruvian operations. The remainder of the changes are
primarily due to the factors discussed above.

         OTHER NET, income was $0.6 million in the 2000 quarter compared to
$0.8 in the 1999 quarter. An increase in other net expense of $0.2 million is
attributable to Peruvian operations. For U.S. operations, other net income
was $0.3 million in the 2000 quarter compared to other net expense of $0.2
million in the 1999 quarter. The change is primarily due to rental income on
capital assets provided for Peruvian operations, which was not in the prior
year.

         Other net, expense was $0.3 million in the 2000 period,
approximately the same as the 1999 period. An increase in other net expense
of $1.2 million is attributable to Peruvian operations. For U.S. operations,
other net income was $0.6 million in the 2000 period compared to other net
expense of $0.6 in the 1999 period. The change is primarily due to rental
income on capital assets provided for Peruvian operations, which was not in
the prior year, and reductions in other taxes and losses on retirements of
assets.

         INCOME TAX EXPENSE for the 2000 quarter and the 2000 period reflects
the impact of a change in tax status effective at the beginning of the fiscal
year. See "Item 1. Financial Statements--Note 2 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.

RESULTS OF PERUVIAN OPERATIONS

         NET SALES in the 2000 quarter were $120.5 million compared to $110.5
million in the 1999 quarter. This increase is primarily the result of higher
sales volumes of all of La Oroya's main metals and improved realized prices
for copper and zinc, partially offset by lower realized prices for lead,
silver and gold. The production improvements discussed previously increased
refined silver sales volume by 9%, increasing net sales by $3.6 million.
Volume increases for the other main metals, partially offset by reduced
by-product sales, contributed another $1.3 million to the net sales increase.
The LME average price for copper was 23% higher in the 2000 quarter, compared
to the 1999 quarter. As a result, the Company's net realized price for
refined copper increased by 24% in the 2000 quarter, increasing net sales by
$5.9 million. Improved realized prices for zinc contributed another $2.3
million to the net sales increase. These increases were partially offset by
lower realized prices for lead, silver and gold.


                                       33
<PAGE>

          Net sales for the 2000 period were $244.8 million compared to
$215.8 million in the 1999 period. The increase is primarily the result of
higher sales volumes for all of the main metals and improved realized prices
for copper, zinc and silver, partially offset by lower realized prices for
lead and gold, and reduced by-product sales. The production improvements
discussed previously increased refined silver sales volume by 1.6 million
ounces or 10%, increasing net sales by $8.0 million. Gold bullion sales
volume was up by 20.5 thousand ounces or 69%, compared to the prior year,
accounting for $5.9 million of the sales increase. Higher copper, lead and
zinc volumes added another $6.4 million to the net sales improvement. The
Company's net realized price for refined copper increased by 21% in the 2000
period, increasing net sales by $10.4 million. Improvements in zinc realized
prices added $6.3 million to the net sales increase. These increases were
partially offset by lower realized prices for lead metal and bullion lead,
which reduced net sales by $4.1 million, and the absence of blister copper
sales in the 2000 period, compared to $6.8 million in the 1999 period.
Blister copper sales were eliminated in the 2000 in favor of more profitable
refined copper sales.

         COST OF SALES increased from $91.1 million in the 1999 quarter to
$105.1 million in the 2000 quarter. Sales volume increases, primarily in
silver, gold and zinc, account for an increase of $7.3 million in cost of
sales. A 36% increase in the unit production cost of refined copper
contributed $7.8 million to the increase in cost of sales. This increase was
primarily the result of higher feed costs for copper due to: 1) the 23%
increase in LME copper price, 2) an increase in the cost of concentrates
produced by the Company's Cobriza mining operation resulting from higher
operating costs, coupled with a 14% decrease in the grade of ore mined, and
3) a reduction in copper treatment charges of approximately 4%. Production
costs for refined zinc and gold were also somewhat higher in the 2000
quarter. These increases were partially offset by lower feed cost for refined
lead resulting primarily from the decline in the LME price for lead.

         Cost of sales was $212.3 million the 2000 period compared to $181.6
million in the 1999 period. Higher sales volumes for all of the main metals
increased cost of sales by $17.2 million. Increased production cost for
refined copper, due to the factors discussed above, added $14.2 million to
the cost of sales. These increases were partially offset by lower feed cost
for lead metal and bullion lead, and reduced by-product sales, primarily
blister copper.

         DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION expense increased by $0.3 million for
the 2000 quarter and $0.6 million the 2000 period, compared to the prior
year, primarily due to recent capital additions.

         INCOME FROM OPERATIONS decreased $4.3 million in the 2000 quarter
compared to the 1999 quarter and $2.1 million in the 2000 period compared to
the 1999 period due primarily to the factors discussed above.

         INTEREST INCOME decreased $0.3 million for the 2000 quarter and the
2000 period, compared to the prior year, due primarily to interest from a
customer on a past due account receivable in the 1999 period, which has been
collected.

         OTHER NET, expense increased by $0.2 million in the 2000 quarter
compared to the 1999 quarter. The change is primarily due to expense for air
transportation services, which was not in the prior year.

         Other net, expense was $0.9 million in the 2000 period compared to
other net income of $0.3 million in the 1999 period. The change is due to
expense for air transportation services, which was not in the prior year, and
to fluctuations in foreign currency transaction gains and losses, resulting
primarily from changes in the exchange rate, partially offset by other
miscellaneous income items.

         INCOME TAXES for the 2000 quarter and the 2000 period reflects
interest and other losses of a Peruvian subsidiary that are not deductible
for 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 April 30, 2000,
$23.6 million was outstanding, exclusive of $5.5 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 $50.0 million, less outstanding letters of credit,
based upon specific percentages of eligible receivables and inventories. At
April 30, 2000, $35.0 million was outstanding under the Doe Run Peru
Revolving Credit Facility. The Company also has available, in Peru, unsecured
and uncommitted credit arrangements and additional availability related to
letters of credit and customs bonds, provided by local banks. At April 30,
2000, $5.4 million exclusive of $16.3 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.

        Effective March 30, 2000 the Company's primary lender in Peru
approved an increase in the maximum advance under the Doe Run Peru Revolving
Credit Facility from $40.0 million to $50.0 million, subject to
documentation. In addition, the lender approved an independent line of $10.0
million for the issuance of guarantee letters. Unlike the Revolving Credit
Facility, this independent line is not committed and is subject to
modification or cancellation at the option of the lender.

        Net unused availability at April 30, 2000 was $32.2 million under the
Doe Run Revolving Credit Facility and $15.0 million under the Doe Run Peru
Revolving Credit Facility. In addition to availability under the credit
facilities, the Company had $17.2 million of cash at April 30, 2000.

         In the 2000 quarter, cash provided by operating activities was $2.0
million, cash used in investing activities was $7.3 million and cash provided
by financing activities was $18.4 million. For the 2000 period, cash used in
operating activities was $3.7 million, cash used in investing activities was
$15.8 million and cash provided by financing activities was $26.7 million.

         In the U.S., the Company had capital expenditures of $3.5 million
for the 2000 period and has projected total capital expenditures, for fiscal
2000, of approximately $7.8 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 $64.8 million per year on repairs and maintenance from fiscal
1996 through fiscal 1999. 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 by October 23, 2002, as set forth in the
purchase agreement. The Company estimates that it has spent approximately
$70.2 million on qualifying expenditures under the investment commitment
through April 30, 2000. The current estimate of completed expenditures is
less than previously reported as a recently received independent audit
certification disallowed certain expenditures, through October 31, 1999,
which were previously believed to qualify. Peruvian operations had capital
expenditures of $12.3 million in the 2000 period and have projected total
capital expenditures for fiscal 2000 of approximately $24.5 million,
primarily for environmental improvements and to support ongoing operations.

         The Company has substantial indebtedness and debt service
requirements. As of April 30, 2000, on a consolidated basis, the Company had
$513.1 million of indebtedness outstanding, or $388.1


                                       35
<PAGE>

million net of the Special Term Deposit securing certain indebtedness.
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. However, metal
prices sustained at current levels for an extended period, or decreasing
further, will adversely impact liquidity. Should this occur, management will
reevaluate capital, exploration and maintenance spending levels and consider
further changes in operations in order to maintain sufficient liquidity.

         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.

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; political 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; outcome of litigation;
and major equipment failures. 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.

       On May 28, 2000, a presidential runoff election was held in Peru,
after which President Fujimori was declared the winner. Amid allegations of
irregularities, the election was boycotted by international election
oversight organizations and by Alejandro Toledo, the challenger to President
Fujimori. The events surrounding the election have been widely reported by
the international press and criticized by the United States and other
countries. As of May 31, 2000, the Company's operations in Peru have been
unaffected by these developments. However, management recognizes the
potential for political instability, social unrest, and deterioration of
economic conditions, which could adversely impact the operating activities,
results of operations and financial condition of the Company.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

       The Company has outstanding $55 million of indebtedness on which
interest is payable based on the six-month LIBOR rate plus 6.29%, reset at
each interest payment date (March and September 15). The Company has not
hedged its risk with respect to fluctuations in the LIBOR rate. At April 30,
2000, the effective rate was approximately 12.65%.

       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.

       On February 14, 2000, CITY OF ST. LOUIS VS. LEAD INDUSTRIES
ASSOCIATION, INC. ET AL was filed in the Circuit Court of the City of St.
Louis, Missouri. The Company and several other parties were named defendants
in the suit for costs allegedly incurred and to be incurred by the plaintiff
for the care of lead-poisoned persons, education programs for children
injured by exposure to lead and the abatement of lead hazards purportedly
created by the defendants in the City of St. Louis. The complaint alleges
that the defendants made material misrepresentations and intentional
omissions of material facts to the City and/or its residents regarding the
nature of lead and lead products, such as paint. The suit also seeks punitive
damages. Discovery has yet to be initiated, 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 on the results of operations,
financial condition and liquidity of the Company.

       See "Item 1. Financial Statements - Note 7 to the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements" for information regarding other pending
litigaion.
