                         ----------------------------


The Employee Welfare Benefits Plan
Committee of FMC Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of FMC Corporation 401(k) Plan for Employees Covered by a Collective
Bargaining Agreement (the Plan) as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
related statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the
years then ended.  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 in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as
of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in net assets available for plan
benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes and reportable 5% transactions are presented for
the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are 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 fund information in
the statements of net assets available for plan benefits and the statements of
changes in net assets available for plan benefits is presented for purposes of
additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available for plan
benefits and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits of each fund.
The supplemental schedules and fund information have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and,
in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

FMC CORPORATION 401(k) PLAN
FOR EMPLOYEES COVERED BY A
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 1998 and 1997

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1)  Summary of the Plan

     The following summary of the FMC Corporation 401(k) Plan for Employees
     Covered by a Collective Bargaining Agreement (the Plan) is provided for
     general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan
     document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

     (a)  General

     The Plan was established on April 1, 1987 to provide retirement and certain
     other benefits for eligible hourly employees of FMC Corporation (the
     Company). The Plan was amended and restated as of January 1, 1989 to
     reflect changes in the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan is a qualified
     salary reduction plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.
     The Plan is for employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement at
     fourteen of the Company's locations. Employee eligibility in the Plan
     varies by location, as set forth in the Plan document. The Plan is a
     defined contribution plan and is funded by employees' contributions. The
     Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
     Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). The Plan is administered by the
     FMC Employee Welfare Benefits Plan Committee.

     (b)  Trust Agreement

     Effective June 1, 1997, the Company and Fidelity Management Trust Company
     (the Trustee) established a trust (the Trust) for investment purposes as
     part of the Plan. The Trust replaced a predecessor trust established with
     Prudential Defined Contributions Services (Prudential). At the same time,
     the Trustee also became the Plan's record keeper.

     (c)  Contributions

     Participants may currently elect to have their compensation reduced by an
     amount between 1% and 15% of the participant's compensation in the
     aggregate, subject to adjustments to reflect changes in the cost of living.
     The aggregate amount of such reductions is contributed to the Plan trust on
     a pretax basis, subject to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) limitations.
     Provisions of the Plan agreement regarding contributions are the same for
     all locations covered by the Plan. Participant contributions are
     nonforfeitable.

     (d)  Investment Options

     Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct his or her
     contributions in 1% increments in any of the following investment options:

     1)   FMC Stock Fund - Funds are invested in common stock of FMC
          Corporation.

     2)   Stable Value Fund - Funds are invested in investment contracts offered
          by insurance companies and other approved financial institutions. From
          January 1, 1998 through December 31, 1998 the guaranteed effective
          annual yield was approximately 6.99% and from June 1, 1997 through
          December 31, 1997 the guaranteed effective annual yield was
          approximately 7.2%.

     3)   Clipper Fund - Funds are invested in common stocks which are
          considered undervalued by the fund manager and in long-term bonds.

     4)   Mutual Qualified (Z) Fund - Funds are invested primarily in common and
          preferred stocks which are considered undervalued by the fund manager.

     balances within the funds as frequently as they choose except with respect
     to the FMC Stock Fund, where the value of account can be moved once a year
     after a participant reaches age 55.

     Prior to June 1, 1997, a participant could direct his or her contributions

          Corporation.

          yield was approximately 6.4%.

     3)   First Essex Fund - Funds were invested in common stocks of major,
          well-established companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

     4)   Money Market Account - Funds were invested in high quality money

          term U.S. Treasury securities.

     6)   Stock Index Fund - Funds were invested in equity securities intended
          to provide investment results that correspond to the price and yield
          performance of Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index.

     (e)  Participant Accounts

     Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution
     and Plan earnings and charged with an allocation of administrative
     expenses. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit
     that can be provided from the participant's vested account. At December 31,
     1998, 1,751 current and former employees participated in the Plan.

     (f)  Eligibility and Vesting

     Depending on the collective bargaining group, employees are eligible to
     participate in the plan either immediately upon hire or after a waiting
     period of up to one year. Participants are immediately vested in their
     elective contributions plus actual earnings thereon.

     (g)  Payment of Benefits

     On termination of service or attainment of age 59 1/2, any participant may
     elect to immediately receive a lump-sum distribution equal to the vested
     interest in his or her account. Participants age 55 or older or whose
     accounts are valued at not less than $5,000 may, upon termination, elect to
     defer their lump-sum distribution or receive annual installments over a
     ten-year period.

    (h)   Expenses

    The compensation and expenses of the Trustee are paid by the Company. All
    other expenses of the Plan may be paid by the Trustee out of the assets of
    the Plan and constitute a charge upon the respective investment funds or
    upon the individual participants' accounts as provided in the Plan.

     (i)  Withdrawals and Participants Loans

     Certain locations covered under the Plan allow participants to make
     hardship cash withdrawals (subject to the Plan's provision's, income
     taxation and IRS penalties) of some or all of their vested account
     balances. Additionally, at certain locations, eligible participants may
     also receive money from the Plan in the form of loans. The minimum that may
     be borrowed is $1,000. The maximum that may be borrowed is the lesser of
     $50,000, as adjusted, or 50% of the participant's vested account balance.
     Loans must be repaid over 60 months with interest at the prevailing market
     rates or some other reasonable rate as determined by the Company.
     Participant loans outstanding as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, which are
     reported under the Loan Fund, were $915,120 and $855,963, respectively.

     (j)  Plan Termination

     Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the
     right under the Plan to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of the
     Plan and ERISA.

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     The following are the significant accounting policies followed by the Plan:

     (a)  Basis of Accounting

     The Plan's financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of
     accounting.

     (b)  Investment Transactions

     Security transactions are recorded in the financial statements on a
     settlement-date basis, which does not differ materially from a trade-date
     basis.

     (c)  Valuation of Investments

     Quoted or estimated market prices are used to value investments except for
     certain contracts with banks and insurance companies which guarantee
     repayment of principal with interest at a fixed or fixed minimum rate for a
     specified period of time. These contracts are valued at contract value
     which approximates fair value.

     (d)  Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires the plan administrator to make
     estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
     liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
     of the financial statements and the reported amounts of changes in net
     assets and liabilities during the reporting period. Actual results could
     differ from these estimates, but the plan administrator does not believe
     such differences will materially affect the Plan's net assets available for
     benefits or changes in net assets available for benefits.

FOR EMPLOYEES COVERED BY A
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 1998 and 1997

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(4)  Federal Income Tax Status

     The Company has not submitted the Plan to the IRS for consideration of the
     Plan's tax status. However, the plan administrator and the Plan's counsel
     intend to apply for a determination letter with the IRS and believe the
     Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the
     applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The plan
     administrator will amend the plan, if necessary, in order to achieve
     compliant status.


(5)  Plan Merger and Asset Transfers

     During 1998, four of the Company's bargaining employee units at Pocatello,
     ID, Kemmerer, WY, Lawrence, KS, and Carteret, NJ were merged into the FMC
     Employees' Thrift and Stock Purchase Plan (the FMC Salaried Plan). As a
     result, the plan transferred assets value of $6,470,448 to the FMC Salaried
     Plan. In addition, the Plan transferred $294,104 to other plans and
     retirement accounts due to employee transfers and turnover, and to the FMC
     Salaried Plan due to moving certain hourly employees to salaried employee
     status.

     On June 1, 1997 the Plan received $227,303 from the Moorco International
     Inc. Incentive Savings Plan for union hourly employees as a result of the
     plans' merger. On October 7, 1997, the Plan transferred $23,780,184 to the
     United Defense, L. P. York Union Employees' Thrift and Stock Purchase Plan
     due to the sale of FMC Corporation's defense business to the Carlyle Group.
     In addition, the Plan transferred $2,141,644 to other plans and retirement
     accounts due to employee transfers and turnover, and to the FMC Salaried
     Plan due to moving certain hourly employees to salaried employee status.

(6)  Impact of Year 2000 Issue

     The Year 2000 (Y2K) issue refers to the risk that systems, products, and
     equipment using data sensitive software or computer chips with two digit
     date fields will recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than
     the year 2000. This could result in system failures, miscalculations, and
     business interruptions that, if not addressed, could have a materially
     adverse impact on the Plan.

     The majority of the Plan's applications are already Y2K-compliant, and the
     remainder will be before December 31, 1999. The Plan outsources most of its
     critical computing operations to professional outsource service providers.
     The Plan has confirmed or is confirming that each of its outsourcers is
     either already Y2K-compliant or has a detailed program in place to achieve
     compliance within an acceptable time frame. The plan will not bear any
     costs associated with making the systems Y2K-compliant.
