Report of Independent Accountants
---------------------------------
To the Pension and Employee Benefits Plans Committee of Engelhard Corporation:
In our opinion, the financial statements of the Salary Deferral Savings Plan of
Engelhard Corporation listed in the table of contents on page 2 of this Form
11-K present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition of the
Plan at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the income and changes in plan equity
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Plan's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule listed in the
table of contents on page 2 of this Form 11-K is presented for the purpose of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements
but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the
Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1 - Description of the Plan
The Salary Deferral Savings Plan of Engelhard Corporation (the Plan), as
amended and restated as of June 5, 1997 is designed to provide eligible
employees of Engelhard Corporation (the Company) an opportunity to save part of
their income by having the Company reduce their compensation and contribute the
amount of the reduction to the Plan on a tax deferred and/or post-tax basis.
The following plan description is provided for general information
purposes. Participants of the Plan should refer to the plan document for more
detailed and complete information.
Eligibility
- -----------
Except as specifically included or excluded by the Board of Directors of the
Company (the Board), United States salaried employees of the Company and its
wholly-owned (directly or indirectly) domestic subsidiaries and all non-
collectively bargained hourly employees are eligible to participate in the Plan.
Contributions
- -------------
The Plan permits eligible employees participating in the Plan the opportunity
to defer up to 15 percent of their compensation, as defined, subject to certain
restrictions and limitations, and to have that amount contributed to the Plan
and the related taxes deferred. Effective January 1, 1995 employees may
contribute, subject to certain restrictions and limitations, up to 10 percent of
compensation to the Plan on a post-tax basis.
Matching Contributions
- ----------------------
The Company will contribute, on a monthly basis, subject to certain limitations
and exclusions, either cash or common stock of the Company in an amount equal to
50 percent of the first 6 percent contributed by the Participants. Participants
must have completed one year of service to be eligible for a matching
contribution.
Investments
- -----------
All contributions to the Plan are held and invested by Vanguard Fiduciary Trust
Company (the Trustee). The Trustee maintains 15 separate investment funds
within the Plan:
a) The Company Stock Fund consists of assets invested or held
for investment in the common stock of the Company. In the
event the assets cannot be immediately invested in Company
common stock, the funds are invested in short-term securities
pending investment in Company common stock.
b) The Fixed Income Fund consists of assets invested in shares
of the Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust. In the event the
assets cannot be immediately invested in such shares or
deposited as specified above, the assets are invested in
direct obligations of the United States Government or agencies
thereof or in obligations guaranteed as to the payment of
principal and interest by the United States Government.
19

c) The Windsor II Fund consists of assets invested in the
Vanguard Windsor II fund, which invests primarily in stocks
which seeks long-term growth and income from dividends.
d) The Growth Fund consists of assets invested in the
Vanguard Windsor Fund, which invests primarily in common
stocks for the purpose of realizing long-term growth of
capital and income.
e) The Balanced Fund consists of assets invested in the
Vanguard Asset Allocation Fund, which invests in stocks,
bonds and cash reserves for the purpose of maximizing long-
term total return with less volatility than a portfolio of
common stock.
f) The Equity Index Fund consists of assets invested in
the Vanguard Growth and Income Portfolio, which invests
primarily in common stocks for the purpose of realizing a
total return greater than the Standard & Poor's 500 Index
while maintaining fundamental investment characteristics
similar to such Index.
g) The International Growth Fund consists of assets
invested in shares of the Vanguard International Growth
Portfolio or such other mutual fund or funds which invest
primarily in common stocks of companies based outside the
United States that have above-average growth potential for
the purpose of realizing long-term capital growth.
h) The Small Cap Fund consists of assets invested in
shares of the Vanguard Index Trust - Small Cap Stock Portfolio
or such other mutual fund or funds which invest primarily in
common stocks of small-sized companies for the purpose of
providing a comparatively low-cost method of passively
capturing the investment returns of small-sized companies and
attempting to provide investment results that parallel the
performance of the unmanaged Russell 2000 Small Stock Index.
i) The Short-Term Bond Fund consists of assets invested
in shares of the Vanguard Fixed Income Fund or Short-Term
Corporate Portfolio of the Vanguard Fixed Income Securities
Fund or such other mutual fund or funds which invest primarily
in relatively short maturity investment-grade bonds for the
purpose of providing a level of current income consistent with
a two to three year average maturity while helping to preserve
capital.
j) The Prime Cap funds consists of assets invested in the
Vanguard Prime Cap fund and seeks long-term growth of capital.
k) The Life Strategy Growth Fund consists of assets invested in
the Vanguard Life Strategy Growth Portfolio. This fund
invests in other Vanguard mutual funds representing a
combination of stocks, bonds and reserves in order to provide
growth of capital.
20
<PAGE>
l) The Life Strategy Income Fund consists of assets invested in
the Vanguard Life Strategy Income Portfolio. This fund
invests in other Vanguard mutual funds representing a
combination of stocks, bonds and reserves in order to provide
current income.
m) The Life Strategy Conservative Growth Fund consists of assets
invested in the Vanguard Life Strategy Conservative Growth
portfolio. This fund invests in other Vanguard mutual funds
representing a combination of stocks, bonds, and reserves in
order to provide current income and a low to moderate growth
of capital.
n) The Vanguard U.S. Growth portfolio seeks to provide long-term
capital appreciation by investing in common stocks of
companies with above-average growth potential for the purpose
of seeking long-term capital growth.
o) The Life Strategy Moderate Growth Fund consists of assets
invested in the Vanguard Life Strategy Moderate Growth Fund.
This fund invests in other Vanguard mutual funds representing
a combination of stocks, bonds and reserves in order to
provide growth of capital and a reasonable level of current
income.
Participants have the right to elect, subject to restrictions, the
investment fund or funds in which their contributions are invested. All matching
contributions are initially invested in the Company Stock Fund and participants
are restricted from transferring these contributions to other funds for one
year. Participants at their discretion may elect to transfer to another fund
their unrestricted balance. Their unrestricted balance is determined as the sum
of all prior year's unrestricted balances plus 25 percent of the prior year's
restricted balance after the addition of the prior year's restricted matching
contributions.
The number of Participants in each fund was as follows at December 31:
Participants 1998 1997

The total number of Participants in the Plan was less than the sum of the
number of Participants shown above because many were participating in more than
one fund.
The number of units representing Participant interests in each fund and the
related net asset value per unit were as follows at December 31:

</TABLE>
Vesting
- -------
Participants at all times have a fully vested and non-forfeitable interest in
their contributions and in the matching contributions allocated to their
account.
Loan Provision
- --------------
The Plan allows Participants who have participated in the Plan for at least one
year to borrow funds from their accounts, subject to certain terms and
conditions, at a reasonable interest rate as determined by the Company in
accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
22
<PAGE>
Termination
- -----------
The Company, although it expects and intends to continue the Plan indefinitely,
has reserved the right of the Board to terminate or amend the Plan.
Distributions and Withdrawals
- -----------------------------
All distributions and withdrawals from the Plan are made to Participants in a
lump sum cash payment except those amounts distributed from the Company Stock
Fund which may, at the Participant's election, be paid in full shares of the
Company's Common Stock with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares.
Note 2 - Accounting Policies
The accounts of the Plan are maintained on an accrual basis. Purchases and
sales of investments are reflected on a trade date basis. Assets of the Plan are
valued at fair value. Gains and losses on distributions to participants and
sales of investments are based on average cost.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results may differ from
those estimates.
The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination of
stocks or mutual funds. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such
as interest rate, market and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with
certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in
the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that
changes in risks in the near term would materially affect participants' account
balances and the amounts reported in the statement of financial condition and
the statement of income and changes in plan equity.
Certain 1997 amounts have been reclassified to conform to 1998
classifications.
Note 3 - Income Tax Status
The Plan and the Trust created thereunder are intended to qualify under
Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
Code) and the Plan includes a cash or deferred arrangement intended to meet the
requirements of Section 401(k) of the Code. The Internal Revenue Service has
issued a favorable determination letter as to the Plan's qualified status under
the Code. Amounts contributed to and earned by the Plan are not taxed to the
employee until a distribution from the Plan is made. In addition, the unrealized
appreciation on any shares of common stock of the Company distributed to an
employee is not taxed until the time of disposition of such shares. The Plan has
been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the plan
administrator believes the Plan is designed and is currently operating in
compliance with the Internal Revenue Code.
Note 4 - Administrative Expenses
All expenses of the Plan, with the exception of loan application and loan
administration fees, are paid for by the Company. Investment advisory fees for
portfolio management of the Vanguard funds are paid directly from fund earnings.
23
<PAGE>
Advisory fees are included in the fund expense ratio and will not reduce the
assets of the Plan. Brokerage commissions paid to purchase Engelhard Corporation
common stock are being charged against each participant's fund unit value.
Note 5 - Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Plan to concentrations
of credit risk consist principally of investment contracts with insurance and
other financial institutions. The Plan places its investment contracts with
high-credit quality institutions and, by policy, limits the amount of credit
exposure to any one financial institution.
Note 6 - Investments
Investments in the Common Stock of the Company are valued at the
readily-available, quoted market price as of the valuation date and investments
in Vanguard Funds are valued based on the quoted net asset value (redemption
value) of the respective investment fund as of the valuation date.
