Note to the 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. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders. Certain prior year
amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Item 2. Financial Condition and Results of Operations
- ------- ---------------------------------------------
Results of Operations
---------------------
Comparison of the Second Quarter of 1997
With the Second Quarter of 1996
- ----------------------------------------
Earnings before income taxes for the second quarter of 1997 were $63.1
million compared with $56.0 million in the second quarter of 1996. The 1997
results included the positive impact of about 10% from Mearl, a May 31, 1996
acquisition. Results from Mearl (excluding the related interest cost) are
included in the Pigments and Additives segment.
Operating earnings for the second quarter of 1997 increased 17% as the
Catalysts and Chemicals segment and the Pigments and Additives segment reported
higher earnings which more than offset unfavorable results in the Engineered
Materials and Industrial Commodities Management segment.
The Company's share of losses from affiliates was $0.9 million for the
second quarter of 1997 compared with losses of $0.5 million in 1996. The
increase largely reflected the less favorable results of Heesung Engelhard, our
Korean joint venture. The sharp increase in the cost of leasing certain precious
metals significantly impacted the results of Engelhard-CLAL, a precious metal
fabrication joint venture, by almost fully offsetting their otherwise improved
results. These exceptional lease costs are expected to continue into the third
quarter.
Higher net interest expense was primarily due to the acquisition of Mearl.
Net earnings for the second quarter of 1997 were $44.2 million compared
with $40.1 million in 1996. The effective tax rate in 1997 was 30.0% compared
with 28.5% for the same period last year. The higher effective rate was
primarily due to a shift in the geographic mix of earnings and a changing
product slate.
Net sales for the second quarter of 1997 increased 14% to $896.7 million
from $783.9 million for the same quarter in 1996 with higher sales in all
business segments. Mearl is estimated to account for about 25% of the increase
in net sales and selling, administrative and other expenses; see "Pigments and
Additives".
Catalysts and Chemicals
- -----------------------
Operating earnings increased 11% to $37.8 million in the second quarter of
1997 from $34.1 million in the same period of 1996 benefitting from increased
volumes and raw material yields resulting from operating efficiencies. Net sales
were up 13% to $232.8 million in 1997 from $205.8 million in 1996.
6
<PAGE>
The Environmental Technologies Group had higher earnings largely due to
increased volumes in the United States and Europe, a favorable product mix and
manufacturing efficiencies, which more than offset higher raw material costs
stemming from a new, less-favorable precious-metal supply contract. In the
Petroleum Catalysts Group, earnings declined as refiners in the United States
extended downtime for scheduled maintenance turnarounds into the second quarter,
resulting in continuing weak demand for fluid catalytic cracking catalysts. The
Chemical Catalysts Group benefitted from market acceptance of a new and more
cost-effective ammonia-producing process for which it is the sole catalyst
supplier.
Pigments and Additives
- ----------------------
Operating earnings increased 43% to $32.7 million in the second quarter of
1997 from $22.8 million in 1996. Net sales increased 27% to $153.4 million in
1997 from $120.4 million in 1996. Most of these improvements were due to Mearl.
Higher earnings in the Paper Pigments and Chemicals Group reflected a
modest improvement in paper industry demand, but volume increases were partially
offset by continuing pricing pressures. Earnings in the Performance Additives
Group were up significantly due to higher demand for performance additives and
colors in the construction and housing markets and for pearlescent pigments in
the automotive and cosmetics markets.
Engineered Materials and Industrial Commodities Management
- ----------------------------------------------------------
Operating earnings decreased 14% to $11.3 million in the second quarter of
1997 from $13.0 million in the same period of 1996 and net sales increased 12%
to $510.5 million in 1997 from $457.7 million in 1996.
The Engineered Materials Group had significantly lower earnings due to the
absence of a large, one-time order for precious-metal coated products in the
second quarter of 1996 and higher raw material costs stemming from a new,
less-favorable precious-metal supply contract. These lower earnings more than
offset the favorable results of the Industrial Commodities Management Group,
which generated higher earnings by continuing to capitalize on unusual market
volatility.
Comparison of the First Six Months of
1997 With the First Six Months of 1996
- --------------------------------------
Earnings before income taxes for the first six months of 1997 were $116.8
million compared with $101.6 million in the first six months of 1996. The 1997
results included the positive impact of about 10% from Mearl, which is included
in the Pigments and Additives segment.
Operating earnings for the first six months of 1997 increased 17% as the
Catalysts and Chemicals segment and the Pigments and Additives segment reported
higher earnings while results in the Engineered Materials and Industrial
Commodities Management segment were flat.
The Company's share of earnings from affiliates was $0.5 million for the
first six months of 1997 compared with losses of $1.5 million in 1996. The
increase largely reflected the improved results from Engelhard-CLAL, a precious
metal fabrication joint venture. During the second quarter of 1997, this joint
venture incurred a sharp increase in the cost of leasing certain precious
metals. These exceptional lease costs are expected to continue into the third
quarter.
7
<PAGE>
Higher net interest expense was primarily due to the acquisition of Mearl.
Net earnings for the first six months of 1997 were $81.8 million compared
with $72.6 million in 1996. The effective tax rate in 1997 was 30.0% compared
with 28.5% for the same period last year. The higher effective rate was
primarily due to a shift in the geographic mix of earnings and a changing
product slate.
Net sales for the first six months of 1997 increased 14% to $1.8 billion
from $1.6 billion for the same period in 1996 with higher sales in all business
segments. The acquisition of Mearl accounted for about 30% of the increase in
net sales and selling, administrative and other expenses; see "Pigments and
Additives".
Catalysts and Chemicals
- -----------------------
Operating earnings increased 10% to $72.9 million in the first six months
of 1997 from $66.3 million in the same period of 1996 benefitting from increased
volumes and raw material yields resulting from operating efficiencies. Net sales
increased 9% to $454.6 million in 1997 from $416.8 million in 1996.
The Environmental Technologies Group had higher earnings largely due to
increased volumes in the United States and Europe, a favorable product mix and
manufacturing efficiencies, which more than offset higher raw material costs
stemming from a new, less-favorable precious-metal supply contract. In the
Petroleum Catalysts Group, earnings declined as refiners in the United States
extended downtime for scheduled maintenance turnarounds resulting in continuing
weak demand for fluid catalytic cracking catalysts. The Chemical Catalysts Group
benefitted from market acceptance of a new and more cost-effective ammonia-
producing process for which it is the sole catalyst supplier.
Pigments and Additives
- ----------------------
Operating earnings increased 39% to $56.1 million in the first six months
of 1997 from $40.3 million in the same period of 1996. Net sales increased 35%
to $294.5 million in 1997 from $217.6 million in 1996. Most of these
improvements were due to Mearl.
Lower earnings in the Paper Pigments and Chemicals Group resulted from
continuing pricing pressures and higher weather-related manufacturing costs in
the first quarter of 1997, which more than offset a modest improvement in paper
industry demand. Performance Additives Group earnings were up significantly due
to higher demand for performance additives and colors in the construction and
housing markets and for pearlescent pigments in the automotive and cosmetics
markets.
Engineered Materials and Industrial Commodities Management
- ----------------------------------------------------------
Operating earnings were flat at $25.0 million in 1997 and net sales
increased 12% to $1.0 billion in 1997 from $924.2 million in 1996.
The Engineered Materials Group had significantly lower earnings due to the
absence of a one-time order for precious-metal coated products in 1996, an
unfavorable sales mix for electro metallic products, and higher raw material
costs stemming from a new, less-favorable precious-metal supply contract. These
lower earnings were substantially offset by the favorable results of the
Industrial Commodities Management Group, which generated higher earnings by
capitalizing on unusual market volatility and volumes.

<PAGE>
Financial Condition and Liquidity
---------------------------------
At June 30, 1997 the Company's current ratio was 1.1, the same as at
December 31, 1996. The Company's total debt to total capital ratio was 44%, a
slight improvement compared with 45% at year-end. A reduction in committed metal
positions combined with an increase in metal-related accounts payable resulted
in a decrease in hedged metal obligations. The nature of the Industrial
Commodities Management business can result in significant fluctuations in cash
flow. Management believes that the Company will continue to have adequate access
to credit and capital markets to meet its needs for the foreseeable future.
Other Matters
-------------
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share" (EPS) was issued in February 1997 and SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" was issued in June 1997. Both statements become effective
on December 31, 1997. Had these new guidelines been in effect on June 30, 1997,
the Company would have experienced no material impact from adoption.
A ruling by the U.S. District Court, Middle District of Georgia, allowed
the Company to complete the acquisition of certain assets of the Floridin
Company from U.S. Borax in June 1997. The Justice Department has appealed the
District Court ruling. Oral arguments were held on August 1, 1997.

BY-LAWS OF THE COMPANY AS AMENDED JUNE 12, 1997
-----------------------------------------------
11
<PAGE>
RESOLVED, that the By-Laws of the Corporation be and they are hereby
amended by adding the following new ARTICLE XVII following existing ARTICLE XVI
and renumbering existing ARTICLE XVII as ARTICLE XVIII:
ARTICLE XVII
Indemnification
---------------
Section 1. Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party
or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved (including, without
limitation, as a witness) in any actual or threatened action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a
director or officer, of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of
the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation
or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service
with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an "indemnitee"), whether
the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a
director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a
director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by
the Corporation to the full extent authorized by the Delaware General
Corporation law, as the same exists or may hereinafter be amended (but, in the
case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the
Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted
the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), or by other applicable law
as then in effect, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorney's
fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts to be paid
in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee
in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to an
indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall
inure to the benefit of the indemnitee's heirs, executors and administrators,
provided, however, that except as provided in Section 2 of this ARTICLE XVII
with respect to proceedings seeking to enforce rights to indemnification, the
Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee seeking indemnification in
connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only
if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of
the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section shall be
a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the
expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final
disposition (hereinafter an "advancement of expenses"); provided, however, that,
if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, an advancement of expenses
incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and
not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee
while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an
employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon provision to the Corporation of
an undertaking, by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so
advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such indemnitee is not
entitled to be indemnified under this Section 1, or otherwise.
Section 2. Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 1 of
this ARTICLE XVII is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty days after
a written claim has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a
claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall
be twenty days, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the
Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, to the extent
successful in whole or in part, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also
the expense of prosecuting such suit. The indemnitee shall be presumed to be
entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE XVII upon submission of a
12
<PAGE>
written claim (and, in an action brought to enforce a claim for an advancement
of expenses where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been
tendered to the Corporation), and thereafter the Corporation shall have the
burden of proof to overcome the presumption that the indemnitee is not so
entitled. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of
Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a
determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the
indemnitee is proper in the circumstances nor an actual determination by the
Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its
stockholders) that the indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification shall be a
defense to the suit or create a presumption that the indemnitee is not so
entitled.
Section 3. Nonexclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and to
the advancement of expenses conferred in this ARTICLE XVII shall not be
exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire
under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, By-Laws,
agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
Section 4. Insurance, Contracts and Funding. The Corporation may maintain
insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee
or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not
the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such
expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation law. The
Corporation may enter into contracts with any indemnitee in furtherance of the
provisions of this Article and may create trust fund, grant a security interest
or use other means (including, without limitation, a letter of credit) to ensure
the payment of such amounts as may be necessary to effect indemnification as
provided in this Article.
Section 5. Definition of Director and Officer. Any person who is or was
serving as a director of a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation shall be
deemed, for purposes of this Article only, to be a director or officer of the
Corporation entitled to indemnification under this Article.
Section 6. Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation. The
Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors from time to time grant
rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses to employees and agents of
the Corporation with the same scope and effects as the provisions of this
Article with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of
directors and officers of the Corporation.
; and further
RESOLVED, that the proper officers of this Corporation be and they are
hereby authorized and directed to take all actions which in their judgment are
necessary or appropriate in order to implement the foregoing resolutions.

(A) For fiscal 1993, earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by approximately
$8.3 million. Earnings in 1993 were negatively impacted by a special charge of
$148.0 million for the realignment and consolidation of businesses and environmental
matters. Without such charge, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges for 1993 would
have been 7.69.
