Note to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
- ---------------------------------------------------

          The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
Engelhard Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) contain all
adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a
fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.


          Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Item 2.   Financial Condition and Results of Operations
- -------   ---------------------------------------------

                         Results of Operations
                         ---------------------

Comparison of the First Quarter of 1995
With the First Quarter of 1994
- ---------------------------------------

          Earnings before income taxes for the first quarter of 1995
were $37.8 million compared with $30.3 million in 1994.  The increase
was primarily due to a 33 percent increase in operating earnings as all
three business segments reported higher results. Selling,
administrative and other expenses increased primarily due to higher
expenses overall related to acquisitions and growth programs.  Equity
in losses of affiliates reflected the results of Engelhard/ICC which is
heavily involved in new technology development related to desiccant air
conditioning.   Higher net interest expense was due to higher average
debt balances and interest rates during the period.

          Net earnings for the first quarter of 1995 were $27.6 million
compared with $22.8 million in 1994.  The effective tax rate in 1995
was 27 percent compared with 25 percent for the same period last year.

          Net sales for the first quarter of 1995 increased 25 percent
to $694.5 million from $557.7 million for the same quarter in 1994 with
higher sales in all three business segments.


Catalysts and Chemicals
- -----------------------

          Operating earnings increased 20 percent to $24.5 million in
the first quarter of 1995 from $20.4 million in the same period of 1994
while net sales increased 29 percent to $175.5 million in 1995 from
$136.1 in 1994.

          Higher earnings from Automotive Emission Systems and the
Chemical Catalysts Group more than offset lower Petroleum Catalysts
earnings.  The Environmental Catalysts Group had increased earnings
largely due to sales of automotive emission control catalysts in the
U.S. and market share gains in Europe.  In the Petroleum Catalysts
Group, weak demand from U.S. refineries resulted in lower shipments of
its Fluid Catalytic Cracking Catalysts while Moving Bed volumes
increased.  The Chemical Catalysts Group benefitted from higher North
American Base Metal volumes as well as higher worldwide PM Catalysts
volume.
                                 - 7 -

 

Pigments and Additives
- ----------------------

          Operating earnings increased 43 percent to $18.8 million in
the first quarter of 1995 from $13.1 million in the same period of 1994
while net sales increased 15 percent to $101.5 million in 1995 from
$88.3 million in 1994.  This increase was due to improved pricing and
volumes and reduced manufacturing costs.


Engineered Materials and Precious Metals Management
- ---------------------------------------------------

          Operating earnings increased 48 percent to $11.0 million in
the first quarter of 1995 from $7.4 million in the same period of 1994
and net sales increased 25 percent to $417.5 million in 1995 from
$333.3 million in 1994.

          The Engineered Materials Group's earnings resulted from
stronger worldwide volumes.  The Precious Metals Management Group
benefitted from more currently favorable market conditions.


                             Other Matters
                             -------------

          On May 4, 1995, the Company announced a 3-for-2 split of
common shares and raised the quarterly cash dividend 12.5 percent to
13.5 cents per share, from 12 cents per share before the split. 


                    Capital Resources and Liquidity
                    -------------------------------

          At March 31, 1995 the Company's current ratio was 1.1 and the
total debt to total capital ratio was 31 percent, both about the same
as at December 31, 1994.

          Management believes that the combination of the Company's
cash on hand, ongoing cash flow and the ability to access credit and
capital markets will be adequate to finance its working capital
requirements and capital expenditure programs.
