Report of Independent Accountants
---------------------------------
To the Pension and Employee Benefit Committee of the Engelhard Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying Statement of Financial Condition of the
Engelhard Corporation Savings Plan for Hourly Paid Employees (the "Plan") as of
December 31, 1999 and the related Statement of Income and Changes in Plan Equity
for the year ended December 31, 1999. 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 audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards 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. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial condition of the Plan as of December 31,
1999, and the income and changes in plan equity for the year ended December 31,
1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule of Investments
is presented for purposes 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. The supplemental
schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental
schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit 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.

Report of Independent Accountants
To the Pension and Employee Benefit Plans Committee of Engelhard Corporation:
In our opinion, the Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31,
1998 and the related Statements of Income and Changes in Plan Equity for each of
the two years in the period ended December 31, 1998 listed on the Table of
Contents on page 2 of this Form 11-K present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial condition and income and changes in plan equity of the Engelhard
Corporation Savings Plan for Hourly Paid Employees at December 31, 1998 and for
each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. 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 auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States, 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 as of
December 31, 1998 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.
We have not audited the financial statements and the supplemental schedule
of the Engelhard Corporation Savings Plan for Hourly Paid Employees for any
period subsequent to December 31, 1998.

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

other mutual fund or funds which invest primarily in common
stocks of companies based outside the United States that have

direct obligations of the U.S. Government which guarantees
payment of principal and interest.

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.
n) 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 preformance of
the unmanaged Russell 2000 Small Stock Index.
o) 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.
p) 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.
q) 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.
The Short-Term Bond Fund, The Small Cap Fund, The Life Strategy Income
Fund, The Life Strategy Conservative Growth Fund, and the Life Strategy Moderate
Growth Fund were not included in the Statement of Financial Condition or the
Statement of Income and Changes in Plan Equity due to the fact that there was no
activity during the year and there were zero balances at year-end.

Participants have the right to elect, subject to restrictions, the
investment fund or funds in which their contributions are invested. All matching

matching contributions are initally restricted and become unrestricted at the
rate of 25 percent per year. Once unrestricted funds may be moved to any of the
other investment funds.
The number of Participants in each fund was as follows at December 31:

The accompanying Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 1999
includes all individual investments which exceed five percent of the Plan's
total assets at this date. The only non-participant directed investment is the
Engelhard Corp Stock Fund and is included in the accompanying Statement of
Financial Condition.
Included in the Engelhard Corporation Stock Fund is $1,309,596 at December
31, 1999 and $1,094,264 at December 31, 1998 of restricted
Company matching contributions.
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.
Termination
-----------
Although it expects and intends to continue the Plan indefinitely, the Company
has reserved the right of the Board to terminate or amend the Plan.
Loan Provision
--------------
The Plan allows Participants who have completed one year of service to borrow
funds from their accounts, subject to certain terms and conditions, at a
reasonable rate of interest as determined by the Company in accordance with
applicable laws and regulations.
21
<PAGE>
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.
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, any 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 are paid for by the Company except for certain
loan administration and loan application fees. Investment advisory fees for
portfolio management of Vanguard funds are paid directly from fund earnings.
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.
22
<PAGE>
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.
The net realized gain (loss) on disposition of investments was computed as
follows:

Note 7 - Related Party Transactions
For the 1999 plan year the Company transferred 31,269 treasury stock shares
(representing a contribution dollar amount of $594,754) to Vanguard to fund the
employer match. The number of shares transferred each month represented the
employer matching contribution divided by the closing market price on the day
the contribution was remitted.
Note 8 - Attapulgus Plan Transfer
During 1998 employees represented by the Local 170 of the United Steel
Workers of America renegotiated their union contract to provide additional 401K
benefits. As a result a new plan was formed and $1,126,065 in assets were
transferred to the Savings Plan for Hourly Paid Employees at Attapulgus,
Georgia. These assets represented the sum of account balances for participants
represented by Local 170 of the United Steel Workers Union as of May 1, 1998 the
effective date of the new Plan.
Note 9 - Subsequent Event
Effective January 1, 2000, the plan was amended to allow Local 174 of the
United Steel Workers of America to participate in the plan.
