                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


Plan Administrator
MacDermid Equipment 401(k) Plan
Waterbury, Connecticut:


We have  audited the  accompanying  statement of net assets  available  for plan
benefits of  MacDermid  Equipment  401(k) Plan as of March 31, 2000 and 1999 and
the related  statement of changes in net assets  available for plan benefits for
the years ended  March 31, 2000 and 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 audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the  United  States of  America.  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 MacDermid
Equipment  401(k)  Plan as of March  31,  2000 and 1999 and the  changes  in net
assets  available  for plan benefits for the years ended March 31, 2000 and 1999
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.

Our audits  were  performed  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental  schedule of assets held
for  investment  purposes  at end of  year  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.  The  supplemental  schedule  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.

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                             March 31, 2000 and 1999



(1)      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

          (a)     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

                  The MacDermid  Equipment (the Company)  401(k) Plan (the Plan)
                  is a  defined  contribution  plan that was  established  as of
                  January 1, 1989 under the name of the Hollmuller America, Inc.
                  401(k)  Plan.  MacDermid,  Inc.  had owned  50% of  Hollmuller
                  America,  Inc.  During 1995,  MacDermid,  Inc.  purchased  the
                  remaining 50% of Hollmuller America, Inc., and the name of the
                  Plan was changed to the MacDermid Equipment 401(k) Plan.

                  The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on an
                  accrual basis.  Current  values of investments  are determined
                  using quoted market prices and current  yields.  Purchases and
                  sales of securities  are recorded on a trade-date  basis.  The
                  cost of  investments  sold is  determined  on an average  cost
                  basis.

          (b)     TRUST FUND

                  Great West Life and Annuity  Insurance Company was the trustee
                  of the Plan through  December 31, 1998.  Effective  January 1,
                  1999, Prudential Investments is the Trustee of the Plan. Under
                  the terms of a trust  agreement  between  the  Trustee and the
                  Plan, the Trustee  manages a trust fund on behalf of the Plan.
                  The  Plan  Trustee  has  discretionary   authority  concerning
                  purchases  and sales of  investments  in the trust  fund.  The
                  investments  and changes  therein of this trust fund have been
                  reported to the Plan by the Trustee as having been  determined
                  through  the  use  of  current   values  for  all  assets  and
                  liabilities.

          (c)     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,   liabilities,   and  the
                  disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and  liabilities.   Actual
                  results could differ from those estimates.

          (d)     PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

                  Benefits are recorded when paid.

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                             March 31, 2000 and 1999


(2)      PLAN PROVISIONS

          Under the terms of the  Plan,  an  employee  is  eligible  to become a
          participant   in  the  Plan  (for  the  purpose  of  making   employee
          contributions)  upon  the  completion  of 30  days of  employment  and
          reaching  the  age  of  18.  For  the  purpose  of  receiving  Company
          contributions, an employee is eligible after completing at least 1,000
          hours of employment  with the Company during the current Plan year and
          if they are a participant on the last day of the Plan year.

          An  employee  may make  voluntary  pre-tax  contributions  to the Plan
          totaling from 1% to 15% of the  employee's  gross pay,  subject to IRS
          limitations. Contributions toward Company stock (up to 6%) are matched
          by the  Company  $0.50 per  dollar,  to a maximum of 3% of  employees'
          gross pay.  Each  participant  shall  direct (to funds)  100% of their
          contributions.

          The Company may make profit-sharing contributions to the Plan. This is
          a  discretionary  contribution  determined  by the Board of Directors.
          Profit-sharing  contributions  were $0 and $47,134 for the years ended
          March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

          Employees  vest  immediately as to their  contributions.  Full vesting
          with  respect to the  Company's  contribution  requires  five years of
          credited service, except that full vesting will apply when an employee
          attains  age 55,  dies or  becomes  totally  disabled.  Any  forfeited
          amounts related to the maximum additional 3% of compensation allocated
          to the  Company  Stock Fund are used to reduce  the cash  contribution
          required by the Company in the  following  year. At March 31, 2000 and
          1999,   forfeited  amounts  to  be  used  to  reduce  future  employer
          contributions were $6 and $0, respectively.  All other forfeitures are
          allocated on a pro rata basis to Plan  participants  with at least one
          year of  participation  in the Plan  based on  eligible  compensation.
          Forfeitures used to reduce employer  contributions were $0 and $19,232
          during the years ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

          Distribution of  participants'  accounts upon separation shall be paid
          in (a) a lump sum, or (b) equal installments.

          The Company expects to continue the Plan indefinitely, but necessarily
          reserves the right to amend, modify or terminate the Plan at any time.
          If it is necessary to  discontinue  the Plan,  the assets in the trust
          fund  will  be  used  to  provide  benefits  in  accordance  with  the
          provisions of the Plan document.


(3)      FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

          The Plan has  received a tax  determination  letter from the  Internal
          Revenue  Service (IRS)  indicating  that the Plan qualifies  under the
          provisions of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and is
          exempt from federal  income  taxes.  The Plan has been  amended  since
          receiving the determination letter.  However, the Company believes the
          Plan is designed and is currently  being  operated in compliance  with
          the applicable sections of the IRC.


                                       5                             (Continued)

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                             March 31, 2000 and 1999


          Plan   participants  are  taxed  on  Plan  benefits  at  the  time  of
          distribution to the extent such  distribution  exceeds a participant's
          post-tax  contribution  to the Plan.  The Plan withholds the mandatory
          20% federal tax from all  taxable  distributions  which are not direct
          rollovers.  The tax consequences to the participant will depend on the
          type of distribution (lump sum, annuity, or installments).


(4)      INVESTMENT PROGRAMS

          Plan  participants  may elect from among fifteen  separate  investment
          funds  in which  to have  their  contributions  and a  portion  of the
          Company's  contribution  invested.   Effective  March  31,  2000,  the
          Prudential mutual funds were invested in Z shares verus A shares.  The

          another,  up to once per day, using a voice response  system.  Once an
          election is made to allocate  funds to the  Employer  Stock Fund,  the
          funds may not be transferred  out, except that  participants  over the
          age of 55 may transfer certain funds out of the Employer Stock Fund.

          During  the  Plan  year,  the  Stable  Value  fund was  replaced  with
          Prudential Money Mart Assets Fund.  Also, the Prudential  Intermediate
          Global Fund was  discontinued  and the Prudential  Global Total Return
          Fund was introduced.


(5)      INVESTMENTS

          In  September  1999,  The  American   Institute  of  Certified  Public
          Accountants  issued  Statement of Position  99-3,  Accounting  for and
          Reporting of Certain Defined  Contribution  Plan Investments and Other
          Disclosure  Matters (SOP 99-3). SOP 99-3 simplifies the disclosure for
          certain  investments  and is  effective  for plan  years  ended  after
          December  15,  1999.  The Plan  adopted  SOP 99-3 during the Plan year
          ended March 31, 2000. Accordingly,  information previously required to
          be disclosed about  participant  directed fund investment  programs is
          not presented in the Plan's  financial  statements  for the year ended
          March 31, 2000.  The Plan's  financial  statements  for the year ended
          March 31,  1999 have been  reclassified  to conform  with the  current
          year's presentation.

(7)      PARTICIPANT NOTES RECEIVABLE

          Participants  may borrow from their fund  accounts a minimum of $1,000
          up to a maximum  equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested
          account balance. Loan transactions are treated as a transfer to (from)
          the investment fund from (to) the Loan Fund. Loan terms range from 1-5
          years or up to 10 years for the purchase of a primary residence. Loans
          are  secured  by the  balance  in a  participant's  account  and  bear
          interest  at a  rate  commensurate  with  local  prevailing  rates  as
          determined  quarterly by the Plan administrator.  Interest rates range
          from 7.3% to 10.8%.  Principal  and interest is paid  ratably  through
          regular payroll deductions.
