MACDERMID, INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The March 31, 1999 condensed consolidated balance sheet amounts
have been derived from the previously audited consolidated balance
sheets of MacDermid, Incorporated (the Corporation). 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, 1999 and 1998
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 the Corporation's 1999 Annual Report.
Note 2. Acquisitions and Investments
On May 3, 1999 a subsidiary of the Corporation increased its interest
in Galvanevet S.P.A., an Italian specialty chemical company, by an
additional 60%, to a total 90% investment. This transaction included
a $7,936 cash payment and a further $7,500 that is deferred for a
year. The Corporation intends to purchase the remaining 10% interest
within the next year with a final payment of $2,659 bringing the
total purchase price to $25,370. The total purchase price
includes inventory, fixed assets and goodwill of approximately
$20,000 which is being amortized over fifteen years, using
purchase accounting. The current year accounts include
the assets and liabilities of Galvanevet in the Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet. Operational activity from the
foregoing acquisition was included in the results of operations
in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings since
May 3, 1999.
The Corporation established additional purchase liabilities
(included in accrued expenses) last fiscal year upon recording
the acquisition of W Canning plc. The following table illustrates
activity charged to this account for the three month period ended
June 30, 1999.

Note 3. Comprehensive Income
The Corporation has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 130, Reporting
Comprehensive Income (SFAS130) as of April 1, 1998. SFAS130
established standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
income and its components in the financial statements. Tax is
provided for at the effective rate of the jurisdiction under which
the other comprehensive income (loss) arises. At June 30, 1999,
accrued income tax liability includes a benefit in the amount of $48.
The Corporation does not provide for U.S. income taxes on foreign
currency translation adjustments since it does not provide for such
taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The
components of comprehensive income for the three month
periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 are as follows:

Note 4. Stock Repurchase Authorization
On July 22, 1998 the Board of Directors authorized the Corporation to
purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of its common stock. On February 17,
1999, the Board of Directors reduced this authorization to 250,000.
At June 30, 1999, there remained authorization to purchase 234,000
shares. Such additional shares 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 5. Earnings Per Common Share
The Corporation has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, Earnings per
Share (SFAS128), as of December 31, 1997. The computation of basic
earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of
outstanding common shares. The computation of diluted earnings per
share is based upon the weighted average number of outstanding common
shares plus the effect of all dilutive potential common shares that
were outstanding during the period. Earnings per share is calculated
based upon net earnings available for common shareholders after
deduction for preferred dividends, if any.
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, 1999 to the same period in 1998 and
provides information with respect to changes in financial condition
during the three months then ended.
<PAGE>
-10-
SALES
Total sales for the current quarter, $119,067 increased $37,997 or 47% from
$ 81,070 in the same period last year. Proprietary chemical sales were 85% of
total sales for both the current and prior year periods increasing a similar
47% as total sales growth. The Corporation has witnessed softening markets in
all geographic regions but managed to produce increased sales worldwide
although primarily from acquired business.
COSTS AND EXPENSES
Gross profits are up 48% for the quarter as compared to the same period
last year. Gross profit as a percentage of sales, 51% this quarter compares
to 50% for the like period last year due to the worldwide advancement
of proprietary business. Cost awareness initiatives continue to play
an important role towards maintaining the Corporation's gross profits.
Selling, technical, administrative and amortization (ST&A) expenses
increased 52% for the three-month period as compared to the same
period last year. ST&A as a percentage of sales for the three month
periods is approximately 34% this year compared to 33% last year.
The cost increases in the quarter was principally due to twice the
level of amortization of goodwill and other intangibles. To a lesser
degree, direct selling expenses and research efforts to establish
further market presence also contributed to the increase. Operating
profits for the three month period increased 41% over the corresponding
period last year. The increased operating profit results from
increased proprietary sales with a slightly higher ST&A increase as the
effects of cost synergies relating to the Canning acquisition are not
expected to make a significant impact until the second half of the
fiscal year.
As a result, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA) is $25.5 million for the three months ended June
30, 1999.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The Corporation's effective income tax rate approximates 34.5% and 35.1%
for the three month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
NET EARNINGS
Net earnings available to common shareholders increased 24% for the three month
period as compared to the same period last year. Recent acquisitions were
accretive to earnings even as interest expense increased approximately 2.5
times over the same period last year on borrowings to effect those
acquisitions.
<PAGE>
-11-
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Operating activities during the three months ending June 30, 1999 resulted in a
net cash inflow of $2.2 million. The cash generated was primarily used for
capital improvements and dividends to common shareholders. Working Capital at
June 30, 1999 was $68.9 million as compared to $63.2 million at March 31,
1999.
Capital expenditures were $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999
and are consistent with the full year total planned expenditures of
approximately $15.0 million for the fiscal year.
MacDermid has a long-term credit arrangement which consists of a combined
revolving loan and two six-year term loans. One of the term loans is
denominated in US Dollars and the other is Pound Sterling denominated.
The outstanding balance on the credit facilities decreased a net $1.3
million during the year. The amounts outstanding on the long-term
credit arrangement at June 30, 1999, consists of $8.2 million for the
revolving loan, $179.7 million on the US Dollar term loan and
$66.3(Pounds 42.1) million on the Pound Sterling term loan.
The revolving loan facility permits borrowings of up to $75 million. The
Corporation's other credit facilities presently total approximately $55
million. These, together with the Corporation's cash flows from operations
are adequate to fund working capital and expected capital expenditures.
New Accounting Pronouncement
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No.133, "Accounting for Derivitive Instruments and Hedging
Activities" (SFAS 133). SFAS 133 replaces existing pronouncements and
practices with a single integrated accounting framework for derivitives and
hedging activities. FASB also issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 137, "Accounting for Derivitive Instruments and Hedging Activities
- - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133" (SFAS 137). SFAS
137 establishes an effective date for SFAS 133 for fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2000. The Corporation is currently evaluating the requirements of
both SFAS 133 and SFAS 137 and believes that the adoption of these statements,
for its fiscal 2002 financial statements, will not have a material impact on
previously reported information.
Year 2000 Conversion
Introduction. Computer programs which recognize only two digits, rather than
four digits, to define the applicable year will be at risk for possible
miscalculations, classification errors or system failures. This risk is often
referred to as the "Year 2000" issue ("Y2K issue"). The Corporation views the
impact of the Y2K issue as a critical business issue. The Corporation has
implemented a plan for evaluating and minimizing the risks associated with the
Y2K issue and has been addressing these Y2K issues, both on a corporate level
<PAGE>
-12-
and at each relevant subsidiary, by identifying specific issues and
implementing corrective action in each specific case while instituting a series
of management processes that coordinate and manage this overall process across
business boundaries.
The process includes corporate oversight with periodic reports to our
directors. The Corporation's overall approach has been to subdivide the
program into three distinct areas: Information Systems, Suppliers and
Customers, and Manufacturing and Facilities.
Information Systems. All worldwide computer systems have been inventoried.
The U.S. network systems and personal computer systems are currently being
tested, and on the basis of the testing done to date, the Corporation has no
reason to believe that those systems will not be Y2K compliant in all material
respects. The software package that controls the U.S. supply chain
(purchasing, manufacturing, order processing, billing and shipping) has been
verified by the ITAA*2000 Certification Program to be presently compliant.
The Corporation has received representations from the suppliers of the U.S.
human resource and payroll systems regarding their Y2K compliance, and its
internal personnel are in the process of testing those representations. The
mission critical business systems in use by the Corporation's principal
foreign subsidiaries in England (Canning), Italy (Galvanevet), and Taiwan
(MacDermid Taiwan) have been tested by internal personnel, and on the basis of
that testing, the Corporation has no reason to believe those systems will not
be Y2K compliant in all material respects. In the U.S., the Corporation's
information systems were taken off line and tested for compliance. In Europe
and Asia, components of each system were individually tested. The
Corporation's corporate information technology personnel are responsible for
monitoring and evaluating the Y2K procedures and remedial actions taken by its
subsidiaries. The Corporation expects that evaluation of its mission critical
business systems throughout the world will be completed by September 30,1999.
The Corporation has developed contingency plans for its business
systems in connection with its ISO 9002 certification. The Corporation's
principal backup is a manual paper system that it believes would allow
its inventory, logistics, billing, manufacturing, scheduling and support
systems to function in all material respects for at least 60 days, if
necessary. The Corporation estimates there would be approximately
between 200 to 300 key suppliers and a similar number of key customers whose
transactions with it would have to be processed manually should that prove
necessary. In addition, the Corporation has contracted in the U.S.
with a disaster recovery service to provide computer systems to it in the
case of a local disaster affecting its facilities.
Suppliers and Customers. The Corporation has identified the material
suppliers to each of its facilities and has contacted each supplier who
supplies more than $10 per year of materials, or who is the only supplier of a
particular material, in order to ascertain the supplier's Y2K readiness.
Approximately 90% of the suppliers contacted have indicated Y2K compliance,
<PAGE>
-13-
either through individual interviews, in the case of mission critical
suppliers, or through written answers to questionnaires. The Corporation
hopes to complete the confirmation process by July 1, 1999. For any supplier
found not to be Y2K compliant, the Corporation is in the process of
identifying alternate suppliers.
The design of company manufactured equipment that is in operation at customer
locations has been reviewed for date controls. On the basis of
that review, there is no reason to believe that equipment will be adversely
affected in any material respect by the Y2K issue. No major portion of the
Corporation's business is dependent upon a single customer or a few customers,
the loss of which would have a materially adverse effect on its business.
Manufacturing and Facilities. The Corporation's core manufacturing processes
generally are simple, non-automated batch blending operations that are not
materially dependent on computer technology in order to function adequately.
Certain non-material support have computer systems that are
presently being evaluated and tested and are expected to be updated in a
timely manner. None of those support systems is expected to be able to cause
a material disruption to the Corporation's business should a Y2K issue arise
that now is unanticipated.
All facilities have been reviewed and inventoried for Y2K issues. Some
facilities have systems which use date functions for which upgrades have been
made available through present suppliers. Telephone and voice mail systems at
facilities in the U.S. are believed to be materially compliant. Security,
fire, heating, cooling and related systems in the U.S. are expected to be
compliant in all material respects by September 30,1999. If utility providers
(including electricity and telecommunication suppliers) do not sufficiently
resolve their own Y2K issues, however, there may be a material adverse effect
on the Corporation's operations. The Corporation has no reason to believe that
any utility on which it relies in the U.S. or Europe will experience a Y2K-
related disruption that will have a material adverse effect on its business.
Reasonably likely worst-case Y2K scenario: The most reasonably likely worst-
case Year 2000 scenario would involve a failure of the Corporation's mission
critical computer systems together with the contemporaneous failure of one or
more of its suppliers. With respect to a Corporation systems failure, the
Corporation would implement its contingency plan as noted above. With respect
to supplier failure, the Corporation is single sourced as to very few
materials. As a result, alternate suppliers are generally available. The
Corporation is conducting ongoing planning and testing in order reduce the
need for, and the incremental cost of, those contingency arrangements.
Costs. The Corporation's costs associated with the Y2K compliance have been
immaterial and have been expensed to the ongoing information systems
operations as incurred. The cost of Y2K remediation continues to be absorbed
within the total costs for the general operation of the information systems
which are expected to continue at the historical levels of approximately
<PAGE>
-14-
$2,000 annually. Based on the present assessment of its systems and those of
its suppliers and customers, the Corporation expects that the cost of
addressing the Y2K issues will not have a material adverse impact on its
financial position, results of operations or cash flows during the year ending
March 31, 2000 or thereafter. If, however, the Corporation or its suppliers
and customers are unable to resolve such issues in a timely manner, the
Corporation's financial condition and results of operations could be adversely
affected.
Contingencies
(a) Environmental
The Corporation has been named as a potentially responsible party (PRP) by the
Environmental Protection Agency in connection with two waste sites. There are
many other companies involved at each of these sites and the Corporation's
participation is minor. The Corporation has recorded its best estimate of
liabilities in connection with site clean-up based upon the extent of its
involvement, the number of PRPs and estimates of the total costs of the site
clean-up that reflect the results of phase I and II environmental
investigations and remediation estimates produced by remediation contractors.
Though it is difficult to predict the final costs of site remediation,
management believes that the recorded liabilities are reasonable estimates of
probable liability and that future cash outlays are unlikely to be material to
its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In
respect of the foregoing two sites the Corporation has reserved $200 as its
estimate of liability, for the Corporation, taking the foregoing factors into
consideration.
The Corporation has established an environmental remediation reserve with
respect to its December 1998 acquisition of W. Canning, plc. A substantial
majority of that reserve is attributable to two U.S. sites of a W. Canning,
plc. U.S. subsidiary that are believed to require environmental remediation
activities. The reserves established by the Corporation were based upon phase
I and phase II environmental investigations of those sites and remediation
estimates produced by remediation contractors, which estimates indicated that
the reasonable range of the Corporation's gross liability is $2,000 to $11,500.
Based upon the Corporation's experience and the facts known to it, as of the
date of this filing the Corporation expects that its gross liability for those
two Canning sites will not exceed $4,500. The Corporation believes that its
Canning subsidiary clearly is entitled under Canning's acquisition agreement
relating those sites to withhold a deferred purchase price payment of
approximately $2,300, which will be applied to reduce its net liability for
those sites. To the extent the Corporation's liabilities exceed $2,300 it may
be entitled to additional indemnification payments from the previous two
largest shareholders of the prior owner of the two sites. Such recovery is
substantially uncertain, however, and would likely involve significant
litigation expense. As a result, the Corporation has recorded a net liability
<PAGE>
-15-
of $2,000. The foregoing estimates of potential gross and net liabilities and
recoveries have not been discounted to reflect the time value of money. The
Corporation expects that the liabilities pertaining to the two Canning sites
will be incurred within the next three years; the Corporation will recognize
the recovery from the purchase price adjustment contemporaneously with its
payment of the underlying expense.
On January 30, 1997, the Corporation was served with a subpoena from a federal
gand jury in Connecticut requesting certain documents. The Corporation was
subsequently informed that it is a subject of the grand jury's investigation.
The subpoena requested information relating to an accidental spill from
the Corporation's Huntingdon Avenue, Waterbury, Connecticut facility
that occurred in November of 1994, together with other information
related to operations and compliance at the Huntingdon Avenue facility.
The Corporation has retained outside law firms to assist in complying
with the subpoena. The Corporation is cooperating with the
government's investigation. Since this matter is currently in very
early stages, it is impossible to determine what the ultimate outcome
will be and difficult to quantify the extent of an exposure to
liability. As such, no assurance can be given that the Corporation
will not be found to have liability. Accruals in this regard are
determined in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies (SFAS5) which
requires an accrual to be recorded when it is both probable a liability
has been incurred and the cost is reasonably estimable.
(b) Other
The Corporation is a party to a number of lawsuits and claims in addition to
those discussed above arising out of the ordinary conduct of business. While
the ultimate results of the proceedings against the Corporation cannot be
predicted with certainty, management does not expect that resolution of these
matters will have a material adverse effect upon its consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash. It is the Corporation's policy to
accrue probable liabilities to the extent that such liabilities can reasonably
be estimated.
The Corporation's business operations, consist principally of manufacture and
sale of specialty chemicals, supplies and related equipment to customers
throughout much of the world. Approximately 60% of the business is
concentrated with manufacturers of printed circuit boards which are used in a
wide variety of end-use applications, including computers, communications and
control equipment, appliances, automobiles and entertainment products. As is
usual for this business, the Corporation generally does not require collateral
or other security as a condition of sale, choosing, rather, to control credit
risk of trade account financial instruments by credit approval, balance
limitation and monitoring procedures. Management believes that reserves for
losses, which are established based upon review of account balances and
historical experience, are adequate.

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.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 : Legal Proceedings
On July 26, 1999 the Corporation was named in a civil lawsuit
commenced in the Superior Court of the State of Connecticut.
The action was initiated by the Commissioner of Environmental
Protection alleging various compliance violations at the
Corporation's Huntingdon Avenue and Freight Street locations
between the years 1992 through 1998. The Corporation is
vigorously defending this action. It is currently believed that
the outcome of the proceeding will not materially affect the
Corporation's business or financial position, however, the
proceeding is in the early stages and therefore difficult to
assess at this time.
