W. Canning plc
Statement of Accounting Policies
Basis of preparation
These accounts have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting
standards and under the historical cost convention adjusted by the revaluation
of certain of the group's land and buildings, to reflect open market value.
Basis of consolidation
The group accounts consolidate the accounts of W.Canning plc and all its
subsidiary undertakings. The acquisition method of accounting has been
adopted. Under this method, the results of subsidiary undertakings acquired or
disposed of in the year are included in the consolidated profit and loss
account from the date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal. Goodwill
arising on consolidation (representing the excess of the fair value of the
consideration given over the fair value of the separable net assets acquired)
is transferred to goodwill reserve at the time of acquisition. On the
subsequent disposal or termination of a previously acquired business, the
profit or loss on disposal or termination is calculated after charging the
gross amount of any related goodwill previously deducted from reserves. The
consolidated accounts are based on accounts of subsidiary undertakings which
are coterminous with those of the parent company. In appropriate
circumstances, relief is taken under section 131 of the Companies Act 1985 not
to reflect the share premium on shares issued in exchange for shares of an
acquired subsidiary. The cost of investment is stated at its fair value and
any surplus over the nominal value of the shares issued is reflected as a
merger reserve. Associated undertakings are accounted for under the equity
method of accounting. For associated undertakings, the group includes its
share of profits and losses in the consolidated profit and loss account and
its share of post acquisition retained profits or accumulated deficits in the
consolidated balance sheet. Goodwill on acquisition of investments in
associated undertakings is transferred to goodwill reserve at the time of
acquisition.
Tangible fixed assets
No depreciation is provided on freehold land. For all other tangible fixed
assets depreciation is provided by equal annual installments in order to write
off their purchase cost or valuation over the term of their expected useful
economic life. The useful life assumed for plant and equipment varies between
5 and 14 years and for motor vehicles is 4 to 5 years. The useful life assumed
for buildings is based on independent professional advice, and varies between
20 and 50 years.
<PAGE>
Leased assets
The rental costs of assets held on operating leases are charged against
profits on a straight line basis.
Stocks
Stocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable
value. Cost comprises materials, labour and appropriate overhead expenses.
Provisions are made as necessary for slow moving and obsolete stock.
Turnover
All turnover figures relate to sales outside the group and exclude VAT, and
other sales taxes. The policy of the company is to recognize revenue at the
point of despatch of goods. The company does not have material contracts
where revenue is recognized through the duration of the contract.
Foreign currencies
Assets and liabilities of overseas subsidiary and associated undertakings are
translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet
date, and their results and cash flows are translated at the average rates of
exchange applicable during the year. Exchange differences arising from the
retranslation of opening assets and liabilities and of the profit and loss
account to closing rate are taken to reserves. Exchange gains and losses
relating to trading transactions are included in trading profit. Exchange
gains and losses arising on foreign currency borrowings used to hedge or
finance the group's overseas investments are taken to reserves in accordance
with SSAP20.
Research and development
All expenditure is written off as it is incurred except for expenditure on
fixed assets.
Taxation
The charge for taxation is based on the profit for the year and takes into
account taxation deferred because of timing differences between the treatment
of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes. Provision is made for
deferred tax to the extent that it is probable that an actual asset or
liability will result. Deferred taxation on pension balances and provisions
for post-retirement obligation is recognised in full.
<PAGE>
Pensions
Funds held in UK pension schemes are administered by trustees and are
independent of the group's finances. Prior to 6th April, 1997, the Group's
principal UK scheme was a defined benefit scheme, the Group's contributions to
which were calculated in accordance with recommendations of independent
actuaries and were charged against profits on a consistent basis over the
period during which employees worked with the Group. Liabilities in respect of
non-UK pension obligations were provided for on a similar basis. Since 6th
April, 1997, the Group's principal UK scheme has been a defined contribution
scheme, the Group's contributions to which are a fixed percentage of the
pensionable salary of active members and are charged against profits as
incurred. Liabilities in respect of non-UK pension obligations are calculated
in accordance with recommendations of independent actuaries and are charged
against profits on a consistent basis over the estimated remaining service
lives of the relevant employees.
Liquid resources
Cash deposits which are liquid and readily disposable in more than one day and
less than twelve months from maturity are included in liquid resources.

In the current year the directors decided to disclose financial information by
product group and not by geography. The above analysis has been restated for
the comparatives in 1996 to reflect changes in the organisation structure
which came into effect in 1997. The analysis was not presented in a product
group format prior to 1997 and therefore no equivalent information is available
for the year ended 31st December, 1995. Net operating assets are defined as
tangible fixed assets plus current assets, less provisions for liabilities and
charges but excluding investments, net funds, tax and dividends payable. The
product group operating profits are stated after the allocation of central
costs and charges.

in issue during the year. If the share options outstanding had been exercised
during 1997, the dilution of earnings per share would not have been material.

In all cases the pension scheme cost charged to the profit and loss account
and shown in note 3 is calculated to spread the cost of pensions over the
working lives of the employees who are members of the schemes.
Major UK Schemes
The principal scheme is the Canning Retirement and Death Benefit Scheme. It
is established as a separate fund and administered by a corporate trustee
which has seven directors. There is an independent chairman and three of the
seven directors are elected by employees. The scheme's assets are invested
independently of the group with no element of self-investment.
<PAGE>
With effect from 6th April 1997 the scheme converted from a defined benefit to
a defined contribution (money purchase) basis for pensionable service on or
after that date. Past service benefits accrued as of 5th April 1997 (with
certain improvements for all categories of member as of that date) continue on
the defined benefit basis, and are treated as deferred pensions.
Contributions for service on or after 6th April 1997 are paid into a defined
contribution scheme.
The last actuarial valuation of the scheme was carried out by independent
consulting actuaries in November 1996 and based on a valuation date of 6th
April 1996. The valuation was performed using the projected accrued benefit
method. The key assumptions used were investment return of 8% per annum,
salary escalation of 6% and dividend growth of 4%. It showed that the scheme
had sufficient assets (valued at Pounds 20.7 million) to meet in full
retirement benefits accrued to the valuation date and that the recommended
contribution rate would have been sufficient to provide the balance of
benefits anticipated to accrue in future had the defined benefit basis of the
scheme continued. The valuation also considered the effect on the funding
position of the conversion to a defined contribution basis for pensionable
service on or after 6th April 1997 and proposed improvements to benefits from
that date and concluded that the scheme would still have sufficient assets to
cover its liabilities on the revised basis.
No accrual is required under the provisions of SSAP 24.

28. Summary of differences between UK and US generally accepted accounting
principles
The Group's financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United Kingdom (UK GAAP) which differ in
certain respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States (US GAAP). A summary of significant differences affecting the group
are set out below.
Pensions and Post Retirement Obligations
The Group maintains pension schemes, as described in note 26, under UK GAAP.
For US GAAP, companies must use the projected unit credit method to determine
benefit obligation, however, actuarial gain/loss within a 10% corridor do not
have to be recognized.
Goodwill
In the Group's financial statements goodwill arising on the acquisition of a
subsidiary is written off against reserves in the group balance sheet in the
year in which the acquisition is made. Under US GAAP such goodwill is
capitalized and amortized through the consolidated income statement for a
period of up to 40 years. The Group has determined that a 40 year life is
appropriate given the nature of the Group's operations.
Revaluation of Properties
Under UK GAAP properties may be restated on the basis of appraised values in
financial statements prepared in all other respects in accordance with the
historical cost convention. Increases in value are credited directly to the
revaluation reserve and depreciation is calculated on the revalued basis.
Under US GAAP such revaluations of property would not be reflected in the
financial statements and depreciation would be based on historical cost.
Deferred Taxation
Under UK GAAP, deferred income taxes are accounted for using the liability
method to the extent that it is considered probable that a liability or assets
will be recognized in the foreseeable future. Under US GAAP, deferred income
taxes are accounted for using the liability method on all temporary
differences and deferred tax assets are recognized, net of valuation
allowance, where it is more than likely that they will be realised.
<PAGE>
Proposed Dividends
Under UK GAAP, dividends are charged to retained earnings when they are
proposed by the directors even though they are normally subject to approval
subsequently by shareholders at the annual general meeting. Under US GAAP, a
proposed final dividend would not be accounted for until the following
accounting period.
The following is a summary of the significant adjustments to the Group's net
income as a result of differences between UK GAAP and US GAAP:

operating activities; returns on investments and servicing of finance;
taxation; investing activities; and financing activities. Under SFAS95, cash
flows are presented for only three categories; operating; investing; and

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the shareholders and Board of Directors of W. Canning plc:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of W. Canning plc
and its subsidiaries ("the Company") as of 31 December 1997 and 31 December
1996 and the related consolidated profit and loss accounts, cash flow
statements, reconciliations of net cash flow to movement in net funds,
consolidated statements of total recognised gains and losses and
reconciliations of movements in consolidated shareholders' funds for the three
years ended 31 December 1997, 1996, and 1995 all expressed in pounds sterling.
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
management of the Company. Our responsibility is to express an audit opinion
on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards in the United Kingdom which do not differ in any material respects
from 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 audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The
Company as of 31 December 1997 and 1996 and the results of the Company's
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
31 December 1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
in the United Kingdom.
<PAGE>
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom differ in
certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States. The application of the latter would have affected the
determination of the consolidated profit expressed in pounds sterling for each
of the two years in the period ended 31 December 1997 and the determination of
consolidated shareholders' funds and consolidated financial position also
expressed in pounds sterling as at 31 December 1997 and 1996. Note 28 to the
consolidated financial statements summarises the effect for each of the two
years in the period ended 31 December 1997 and as of 31 December 1997 and
1996.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements (pro formas)
are presented herewith for illustrative purposes only, giving effect to the
acquisition, as described, and therefore would not necessarily be indicative
of the operating results and financial position that might have been achieved
had the combination occurred as of an earlier date, nor are they necessarily
indicative of operating results and financial position which may occur in
future periods. These pro forma financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of MacDermid,
Incorporated (the Corporation) included in the annual report filed on Form 10K
for the year ended March 31, 1998.
On December 2, 1998, the date of acquisition, the Corporation closed its cash
tender offer for the outstanding shares of W. Canning plc and through a
statutory compulsory procedure, which was completed February 5, 1999, has
acquired a full 100% of the share capital. The cash purchase price and
related costs, totaling $160 million, was obtained on behalf of the
Corporation's wholly owned subsidiary, MacDermid (UK) Limited, which will hold
the investment, through borrowings from Nations Bank N.A., a subsidiary of
BankAmerica Corporation, as administrative agent and a lender under a combined
revolving loan, US Dollar term loan and Pounds Sterling term loan agreement.
This acquisition of an international specialty chemical organization,
predominately in Europe and North America and to a lesser extent in Asia,
includes various facilities for manufacturing and research.
The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase in accordance with the
purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method of accounting the
purchase cost will be allocated to acquired assets and liabilities based on
their relative fair values as of the closing date with the excess of the
purchase cost over fair value allocated to goodwill. The goodwill reflects
adjustments necessary to allocate the purchase price to the fair value of
assets acquired, liabilities assumed and additional purchase liabilities
recorded. Additional purchase liabilities recorded include approximately
$8,000 for reorganization and redundancy (costs related to certain
Canning facilities located in North America and Europe) and $2,000 for
environmental costs. The actual results of W. Canning plc's business
has been consolidated with the Corporation's operations since the date
of acquisition.
The accompanying pro formas present the pro forma condensed combined statement
of operations for the year ended March 31, 1998 and the six months ended
September 30, 1998 as if the acquisition had occurred on April 1, 1997, the
beginning of the periods presented. Canning historical financial statements
are stated on the basis of accounting generally accepted in the UK (UK GAAP).
Pro forma adjustments have been included to adjust these statements to
US GAAP. The foreign currency rate of exchange of Pounds 1.6713 : $1.00 was
applied to effect the pro formas.

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.
