                                MACDERMID, INCORPORATED
                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
          The March 31, 1997 condensed consolidated balance sheet amounts 
          have been derived from the previously audited consolidated balance 
          sheets of MacDermid, Incorporated.  The balance of the condensed 
          financial information reflects all adjustments which are, in the 
          opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the 
          financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the 
          interim periods presented and are of a normal recurring nature 
          unless otherwise disclosed in this report.  The results of 
          operations for the three month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 
          1996 are not necessarily indicative of trends or of the results 
          to be expected for the full year.  The statements should be read 
          in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial 
          statements included in MacDermid's 1997 Annual Report.

Note 2.   Stock Repurchase Authorization
          The Board of Directors on August 28, 1996 authorized the 
          Corporation to purchase up to 100,000 shares of its common stock.  
          At June 30, 1997, there remained authorization to purchase 
          approximately 93,000 shares which may be acquired through 
          privately negotiated transactions or on the open market from time 
          to time.  Any future repurchases by MacDermid will depend on 
          various factors, including the market price of the shares, the  
          Corporation's business and financial position and general economic 
          and market conditions.  Additional shares acquired pursuant to such
          authorization will be held in the Corporation's treasury and will be 
          available for the Corporation to issue for various corporate
          purposes without further shareholder action (except as required by
          applicable law or the rules of any securities exchange on which the
          shares are then listed).

Note 3.   Common Stock Split
          On October 21, 1996 the Board of Directors authorized a three-for-
          one stock split that was distributed on November 15, 1996 
          to common shareholders of record at the close of business on
          November 1, 1996.  In the financial statements of this report all
          per share amounts, dividends per common share and number of common
          shares have been restated to give retroactive effect to the stock
          split reflecting the increased number of common shares outstanding. 

Note 4.   Earnings Per Common Share
          The computation of primary earnings per common share is based upon 
          the weighted average number of outstanding common shares plus 
          (in periods in which they have a dilutive effect) the effect of 
          common shares contingently issuable from stock options.  The fully 
          diluted per common share computations may also reflect additional 
          dilution related to stock options due to the use of the market price 
          at the end of the period, when higher than the average price for the 
          period.  Earnings per common share are calculated based upon net 
          earnings available for common shareholders after deduction for 
          preferred dividends.

ITEM 2:

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion compares the results of operations for the three
month period which ended June 30, 1997 to the same period in 1996 
and provides information with respect to changes in financial condition
during the three months then ended.

SALES

Total sales for the current quarter increased 3% from the same period last 
year.  Foreign currency translation had a negative effect on the reported
sales increase, which would have been 5% without any exchange rate influence.
Sales increased as proprietary business improved in all geographic regions,
while equipment business was soft in the current quarter.  Net proprietary
chemical sales for the current quarter reached a record $66.6 million, an
increase of 6% from the same period last year. 

COSTS AND EXPENSES

Gross profits are up 9%, arising from business growth and enhanced 
margins realized from plant overhead savings.  Ongoing costs awareness 
programs and previous acquisitions have continued to strengthen margins which 
increased as a percentage of sales for each of the last three quarters.

Selling, technical and administrative expenses were unchanged in total.  Costs 
to support growing markets overseas were neutralized by foreign currency 
translations, while additional selling costs in domestic markets were offset 
by cost savings realized by shared administrative functions.  Operating 
profits for the three month period increased 27% over the same period last 
year, due to proprietary sales growth which did not require a proportionate 
increase in support costs and further benefiting from the enhanced margins 
mentioned above.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

Changes in taxable earnings among operating units which are taxable at 
differing rates has not recently had a noticeable effect upon overall tax 
rates.  However ongoing tax minimization strategies has brought the effective
income tax rate to approximately 36.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 1997,
down from 40% for the same period in 1996.

NET EARNINGS

Net earnings available to common shareholders for the three month period 
ending June 30, 1997 increased 62% over the same period last year.  The 
improved operating profit, as discussed above, enhanced by lower interest
expense due to accelerated debt reduction, led to these results.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Operating activities during the three months ending June 30, 1997 resulted in 
a net cash inflow of $7.7 million.  The cash generated was primarily used for 
a net $7.1 million reduction of debt.  The balance of cash generated from 
operations, together with a portion of cash already on hand, was used for 
dividends to common shareholders and capital improvements.  Working Capital at
June 30, 1997 was $52.4 million as compared to $46.9 million at March 31, 
1997.

Capital expenditures were $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 
1997 and are in line with total planned expenditures of about $7.6 million for 
the fiscal year.

MacDermid has a long-term credit arrangement which consists of a seven-year 
term loan which has a balance of $75.9 million outstanding at June 30, 1997, a 
five-year revolving credit facility which permits borrowings of up to $65
million, of which $35.2 million is outstanding at June 30, 1997, and an 
additional $100 million acquisition credit facility.  The outstanding balance 
on the five year revolving credit facility increased a net $28 million during 
the quarter due to borrowings made to effect the redemption, ahead of 
schedule, of all of the shares of preferred stock issued as part payment for a 
1995 acquisition.  MacDermid's other credit facilities, which presently total 
approximately $33 million, and the $65 million revolving credit 
facility and the Corporation's cash flows from operations, are adequate to 
fund working capital and expected capital expenditures.

Outlook:  Issues and Risks

This report and other Corporation reports and statements describe many of the 
positive factors affecting the Corporation's future business prospects.  
Investors should also be aware of factors which could have a negative impact 
on those prospects.  These include political, economic or other conditions 
such as currency exchange rates, inflation rates, recessionary or expansive 
trends, taxes and regulations and laws affecting the business; competitive 
products, advertising, promotional and pricing activity; the degree of 
acceptance of new product introductions in the marketplace; and the difficulty 
of forecasting sales at certain times in certain markets.
