Report of Independent Auditors
To the Investment Committee
McCormick & Company, Incorporated
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of the
McCormick Profit Sharing Plan as of November 30, 1997 and 1996, and the
related statements of changes in plan equity for each of the three years in
the period ended November 30, 1997. We have also audited the schedules of
allocation of plan equity to investment programs as of November 30, 1997 and
1996 and allocation of changes in plan equity to investment programs for each
of the three years in the period ended November 30, 1997. These financial
statements and schedules 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 financial condition of the McCormick Profit
Sharing Plan at November 30, 1997 and 1996, and the changes in plan equity
for each of the three years in the period ended November 30, 1997, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Furthermore, it is
our opinion that the schedules referred to above present fairly the
information set forth therein in compliance with the applicable accounting
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying fund information in the
allocation of plan equity to investment programs as of November 30, 1997, and
the allocation of changes in plan equity to investment programs for the year
then ended (fund information), and the supplemental schedules of assets held
for investment purposes as of November 30, 1997, and reportable transactions
for the year then ended, are presented for purposes of complying with the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and are not a required
part of the financial statements. The fund information and supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits
of the financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

The McCormick Profit Sharing Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Significant Accounting Policies
The financial statements of The McCormick Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) are
prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. The Plan changed its name from
the McCormick Profit Sharing Plan and PAYSOP to the McCormick Profit Sharing
Plan in 1996.
Valuation of Securities
Investments are stated at aggregate current value. Securities traded on a
national securities exchange or included on the NASDAQ National Market List
are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the
plan year. Investments for which no sale was reported on that date are
valued at the last reported bid price.
The change in the difference between current value and the cost of
investments is reflected in the statement of changes in plan equity as net
unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments.
The net realized gain or loss on disposal of investments is the difference
between the proceeds received and the average cost of investments sold.
Expenses relating to the purchase or sale of investments are added to the
cost or deducted from the proceeds.
Administrative Expenses
McCormick & Company, Incorporated (the Company) has deducted $243,412,
$245,986 and $357,430 in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, from the cash
deposit of its contributions to the Plan to offset a portion of the
administrative costs incurred on behalf of the Plan. These expenses are
included in the administrative expenses in the Statement of Changes in Plan
Equity. Direct expenses are paid by the Plan.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires Plan management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates.

2. Description of the Plan
The following description of the Plan provides only general information.
Further information about the Plan agreement, eligible employees, the vesting
provisions and investment alternatives are contained in the Summary Plan
Description and in Registration Statement No. 33-23727 on Form S-8 filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 21, 1997. Copies of these
documents are available from McCormick Corporate Human Relations.
The Plan is a defined contribution plan sponsored by McCormick & Company,
Incorporated which incorporates a 401(k) savings and investment option.
Participating employees can make elective pretax contributions to the Plan
through regular payroll deductions. If an employee authorizes elective
contributions, the contributions may not be less than 1% of his or her
taxable cash compensation and may be up to a maximum of 15%. The Company and
participating subsidiaries will make a matching contribution at a rate of
$.20 for each $1.00 of the participant's elective contributions to the Plan
regardless of the participant's investment election. The matching
contribution is not made on elective contributions in excess of 10% of
compensation.
The Company and participating subsidiaries may also make additional
contributions to the Plan for amounts authorized by the Board of Directors.
Company contributions are allocated to each participant's account based upon
the participant's compensation and length of service.
As of November 1, 1996, the Plan converted to daily valuation processing. It
also established new investment funds for the participants' elective
contributions. In anticipation of transferring the existing assets to the
new funds, all prior investments in the Fidelity Retirement Money Market
Portfolio and the Fidelity Investment Grade Bond Fund were liquidated in
October 1996. The proceeds were transferred to the T. Rowe Price Prime
Reserve Fund and to the Bond Fund of America, respectively. In the attached
Schedule of Allocation of Changes in Plan Equity to Investment Programs
(Schedule III) for the year ended November 30, 1996, the activity for the
money market funds was combined and the activity of the bond funds has also
been combined.
A payroll based stock ownership plan (PAYSOP) was made possible by a section
of the Internal Revenue Code that allowed the Company to contribute shares of
voting stock to employees. The Company has not made a PAYSOP contribution
since the elimination of the PAYSOP credit in the Tax Reform Act of 1986.
Any account balances in this fund were transferred to the applicable
participant's Profit Sharing Plan account as of November 1, 1996. Before
December 1, 1974, the Company's profit sharing contributions were placed in
the Retirement Income Trust (RIT). Contributions to that Trust have been
discontinued and any account balances in this fund were transferred to the
applicable participants' Profit Sharing Plan account as of November 1, 1996.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
2. Description of the Plan (continued)
As of November 30, 1997, the following investment funds were available:
McCormick Stock Fund - This fund invests principally in the common stock
of McCormick & Company, Inc., the Plan sponsor.
Balanced Fund - The balanced fund seeks conservation of capital, current
income and long-term growth of capital and income by investing in stocks,
bonds, and other fixed-income securities. This fund invests principally
in the American Balanced Fund.
Small Cap Value Fund - This fund seeks long-term growth of capital through
investments in small companies which have low debt, strong growth
prospects and are potentially undervalued. This fund invests principally
in the T. Rowe Price Small Cap Value Fund.
International Growth Fund - This international fund seeks long-term growth
of capital by investing in companies based outside the United States.
This fund invests principally in the American Europacific Growth Fund.
The Bond Fund - The bond fund seeks as high a level of current income as
is consistent with preservation of capital. This fund invests primarily
in the Bond Fund of America.
Growth & Income Portfolio Fund - This growth and income fund seeks high
total return through a combination of current income and capital
appreciation. The fund invests mainly in securities of companies that pay
current dividends and offer potential growth of earnings. However, the
fund may buy securities that are not currently paying dividends but offer
prospects for either capital appreciation or future income. Securities
may be of foreign and domestic issuers. The fund diversifies investments
among a variety of industries. The principal investment is in the
Fidelity Growth & Income Portfolio Fund.
Long-Term Capital Appreciation Fund - This long-term capital appreciation
fund seeks capital appreciation by making a profit on invested capital
over the long term. The fund invests in common stocks, and securities
convertible to common stock, issued by companies operating in the U.S.
and/or abroad. Investments are made in large corporations as well as
smaller, less well-known companies. The fund also diversifies investments
among a variety of industries and sectors within the market. This fund
invests principally in the Fidelity Magellan Fund.
Money Market Fund - As a money market fund, this fund is managed to
maintain a stable $1 share price (although it is not guaranteed). The
value of the fund's shares is neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S.
Government. This fund invests principally in the T. Rowe Price Prime
Reserve Fund.

The McCormick Profit Sharing Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
2. Description of the Plan (continued)
Participants' elective contributions and the Company's Profit Sharing
contributions are invested in the Plan's investment funds as directed by the
participant.
In general, participant withdrawals are subject to a 10% excise tax for early
withdrawals prior to the participant reaching retirement.
Participants are permitted to take loans against their contributions to the
Plan. The maximum of any loan cannot exceed one-half of the participant's
contributed account balance or $50,000 less the highest outstanding unpaid
loan balance during the prior 12 months, whichever is less. The Company's
Investment Committee determines the interest rate for loans based on current
market rates. Loan repayments, interest, plus maintenance fees are made by
participants through monthly payroll deductions over loan terms of up to five
years. Longer loan terms are available for loans taken to purchase, construct,
re-construct or substantially rehabilitate a primary home for the participant
or the participant's immediate family.
The Company intends to continue the Plan indefinitely. The Company reserves
the right to terminate the Plan, or to reduce or cease contributions at any
time, if its Board of Directors determines that business, financial or other
good causes make it necessary to do so, or to amend the Plan at any time and
in respect provided, however, that any such action will not deprive any
participant or beneficiary under the Plan of any vested right.
3. Income Tax Status
The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that the Plan qualifies under Section
401 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and is, therefore, not subject to tax
under present income tax law. Once qualified, the Plan is required to
operate in conformity with the IRC to maintain its qualification. The Plan
administrator is not aware of any course of action or series of events that
has occurred that might adversely affect the Plan's qualified status. Under
the Plan, participants are not subject to federal income tax on contributions
or the income of the Plan until amounts are distributed to them.

cost) differing from the classification required in the Form 5500 (market value
at the beginning of the Plan year).
